NOTES AND COMMENTS

[BY Glencok.] The annual meeting of the Taumarunui Racing Club will be held to-day, The fields are good in all but two of the events, and tho gathering should be a successful one. ' The Summer Meeting of the Poverty Bay Turf Club will be held to-day. Coming as it does on top of the Gisborne fixture Thursday's form should be useful to backers to-day. The well-known Riccarton horseman, R. M'Seveney has been' engaged to ride Jeannot in the hurdle events at tho Dunedin Cup meeting, which opens on Thursday next.' The Egmont Racing Club's Summer Meeting will be held on Wednesday and Thursday next,

Rylstoneand Wonder, both of whom won races at Gisborne on Thursday, are engaged in the Cook Handicap, which is the opening event at the Poverty Bay / meeting to-day. Lord Muskerry, run-ner-up in the Maiden, is also to be a j] starter, and as he had not seen a barrier before Thursday's race lie can be expected to improve on that form. A new-comer amongst the hurdlers competing at Gisborne to-day is Bjorneborg. The distance, twelve furlongs, should suit the cast-off from the Lowry stables. The distance (five furlongs) in the Telephone Handicap will suit Shiela, C and the Multifid mare, who will be rid- ti den by C. Emerson, can bo expected to £ show up over the shorter course. b Now that Multifual has struck form Z he can be expeoted to improve upon his y Gisborne Cup effort, and he will be certain of strong support in the Tauranga Stakes, which is the principal event at j the Poverty Bay Meeting to-day. . Mr. W. R. ICemball and his hurdle jockey Stan. Reid have booked their passages for Sydney, but as all in Australia has been abandoned pending the suppressing of the influenza epidemic, the sportsmen named above will probably * cancel their'trip for the present., F A meeting of the committee of the Ashburton County Racing Club was held on Tuesday afternoon, when it was decided to. alter the dates of the autumn meeting from May 8 and 9 to March 21 and 22 1 in order that it would not clash with , the Manawatu Racing Club's fixture. The North Island light-weight, R. S.. Bagby, is under engagement to ride for several Riccarton stables at the Dunedin. Cup Meeting. 1
