NOTES AND COMMENTS

FRY GIJ.ITCOE,! t T l lo l , cr mect ins of the ffanganui Jockey Club will he held on Thursday and featurday and Uie Korth Otago Jocltey Club s fixture will take place on Thursday. Final payments in connection with the «, r , hp r <- h evn Hurdles, Great Northern btoeplechiise, and Cornwall Handicap are due on Friday night by 9 o'clock. Gluepot Braeburn, and Nila, who proWnnganm Steeplechase, are again to contest the same event on Thursday, liracburn will be making his third appearance in the race, as h\ won it iu 1916 and was second last year. 'J'lio Sarto gelding; Zarkoma, who is spolieu of us one of the most promising chasers in Southland, ie due ti race at ft mgatui on June 1 and 3. Moel probably rramer Hogaii will bring him, and auMe TV 1 """ 61 ' t0 ' rreut^am for ll ie Winter At tho Williamstown Meeting on May 11 the Kororoit llurdlfs was won by Tongorogau who was ridden by the New Zealand horseman, H. J. Thompson. The same rider also steered Plnon, who finished third in the Autumn Steeplechase on the eame day. The acceptances received for tho Wanga-' nut Ateetmg are highly satisfactory, and good racing is promined on Thursday, fit h mn is a prominent defection from the steeplechase, and evidently he is to be specially reserved for the Auckland Meeting. Hia stable companion Almo ie missing from the Century Hurdles, but his owner ban a useful horse engaged in Golden Glade The latter won tho Hack ilimllcs at Hastings iu good style, and as he eeslHs to be a greatly improved horse ho may be equal to running out the two miles and a quarter in the Century Hurdles. Certainly he is bred well enough to got any distance. Kude has been paid up for in' the hack race, and taken out of the Connolly Handicap. This is not surprising, ,as in the Foxton Cup when well fancied ho failed badly. Diavolo is a prominent defection from both atceplcchiiFGs, which suggeste that all may not be well with the son of Heavenly iwin. A similar happening may account for the . absence of Orib. as hie stable mate Koupoltonui is to take part in the Hack Steeplechase. Tho Timaru-owned horse has already had n couple of races this season, and he should bo more forward than tho majority of his opponents on Thursday.

It in understood that Mr. George fioifcrt has disposed of his training stablea in I'almorßtoi). King's Armour has been sold to Mr. W. James, who previously owned the eon of King's Guest. Polynesian hue been turned out, and three Devonian youngsters have been scut to Levin. At Wangumii nothing line been schooling better over the brush fences than the aged Malaehl gelding Marlon. Though he ie getting up in yours, the old fellow seems to be going well in his wnrli. and he will not want Tor supporters in the big event on Thursday. Manawnlu spnrlsinvn an , very taken with Hie clnuicc? of Sir Pialivr for I lie Century Hurdles at Wangnnui. Tlicri' ore only eight acceptors for the race in dueslion, and most people would be inclined to fine their selections down to Purseliller, Colorado. Sir Fisher, and Collector, but though Colorado lias been first fancy since the appearance of the weights it is not certain tli.nl he will retain his position on the (Tay. The South Wairarapn Trotting Club receives acceptances for its annual meeting up till Thursday (fight, at 9 p.m. The Great Northern Steeplechase candidates, Bore, Moddite, Idealism, and The Channel are engaged in the Maiden
