NOTES AND COMMENTS

fBY QIBNCOE.I its summer meeting. ~,°! In,r1 n ,r" ir o„ o .dav Poverty Bay Club will hold a out u*v 'Thetoranaki Jockey Club's Meeting will Haste are unlikely starters in tte lub icans' Handicap at tho Dun^ in M"* 10 "3&£ |t fD that Bih--8 JO Derby, but other than this his pun Bummer Meeting close on Wednesday, The" C JO? cXwinner Impediment has be!n aHowcd to drop out of herGMbjrne engagements, hut alio will bo a runner at tho Egmont Mooting next week. ... . Kohinahina was left out of tho published list of acceptances for the Hurdles, to be run at Gisbornc to-day. H. Hiokey has taken the grey gelding to the meeting, and he will he ridden by W. M'Kinnon. In Mich a weak field, Mr. F. Lysnars rcpreaentativo should he ablo to give a good account of himself. Amongst the runners in the Te Hapara Hack Handicap to-day arc tho two Wairoa winners, Platoon and Mania, Tho former Is a full-brother to Multiply, and looks like turning out a good horse. The Auckland horseman A. J. M'Flmn has gone .to Gisbornc and is to have tho mount on Gaziquo in the Flying Handicap to-day. The top weight may find it a difficult matter to concede Otara 271b. Tho last-named showed up well behind Orowhurst in the January Handicap at Hastings, and finished close up in second place. Last year Multifnal won tho Gisbornc Cup with 9st. in the. saddle, and to-day he has only just 21b. more to carry. The form of tho Multified gelding .has been very poor this season, and lie may not be himself to-day. Ladogcur has been racing most consistently of late and his owner, Mr. L. M'Kenzie, is very confident that ho will reverse last year's placinge with Multifnal. Cleft ran several good races in tho spring, and ho should he ablo to give a good account of himself with only 7st. 71b. in the saddle. Amongst the runners in the Maiden Scurry at the Oisbome Meeting is the two year-old Principal Lady, who has raced at tho Ellerslic and Takapuna Meetings and should bo well seasoned to run tho four furlongs. A Melbourne paper announces that not long ago Mr J\ Timms of Adelaide, was offered tho Shipley Stud, together with tho mares, stallions, and all stock for £50,000a walk-in-walk-out oflcr. At the sale the thoroughbreds sold at .E31.245. so that for tho balance of the money a buyer at tho sum stated would have got 370 acres of land with a frontage of over one mile to tho Hopkins Eiver, and all improvements. A well-known Canterbury studmaster, whoso 1 identity in the meantimo has not been disclosed, lias donated the wellknown ronchorse Pnbrilioll, six young mares broken in and ready to go into training, and four brood maros Jo tho Bed Cross and Navy League. It is intended to dispose of tho whole collection by an art union. _ .. After her exertions in tho Post Handicap at Bicoarton on Saturday Winter Cherry was taken bnil. and had to receive veten.

nary attention. This will keep her off the tracks for some time. Chortle, Noblemaji, Winter Cherry, Wish■fill, and Harlequin, are doubtful starters in tho Dunedin Cup. while tho owners of Adjutant and Wardancer have not yet made up their minds as to whether their respective horses will take part in tho race. In tho Australian Cup, two mile!!, tho Irish-bred horse Cynic waß weighted at 7st. 51b. He was awarded int. 71b. in the Auckland Cup, but put up 121b. overweight to have tho services of R. Reed, making liis weight tho same ns ho is handioapped- at in the Australian Cup. On the third day of the A.R.O. McetinE.' he carried 7st. 71b. into second place, finishing in front of Desert Gold. Tho New Zealand-bred Dood ran third in a- hurdle race on tho second day of tho A.J.C. Meeting at, the end of January. Basil K. and Jack Rice wcro' the. horses who finislyd in front of him, the lastnamed carrying 13st. 41b., and only being beaten by a neck. Bimeter, who was taken over by R. J. Mason on Vila recent viait to Australia and sold there, has failed to fill a nlace 6ince racing in his now owner's colours. His last start was' at the Gosford Races on January 23. when the son of Malster fini=hcd unplaced with 9bL -41b. on his back. '
