NOTES AND COMMENTS .' [By Glencoe.l . . , The summer meeting of the AVoodvillo District Jockey Club, postponed on ac-.

count of the epidemic, will,,he held today and to-morrow. Tho fields tiro good and the ■ racing should be interesting. Proceedings will start at 11.30 a.ru. with the Hack Hurdles, mo mile and threequarters. AVhiro,' lOst. 1111)., 'is top weight. Ho lins won twice and seems to go best whon allowed to run along in front. : Ore Ore, 10st., was a winner at Napier, and. may bo the hardest horse for .Whiro to boat. Vacuum Ims not raced for sOmo time, and, the fact that they are. making their, first appearance will be against Willys Knight, and Mou* toii Camp, both of .whom are reported to be proficient fencers. •

. Haying • won-. two races at the Waira T rapa meeting, Old Gold is not now ineligible to contest the 'Trial Plate, six furlongs. TJtuwai is also ineligible. This is-a weight-for-age event, and at this season of the year Iho two-year-olds have a We advantage.; 'I'lieir ranks include Mi\ T. H. Lowry's Lucid (Demosthenes— Lady Lucy) and the. very useful Bitholia. If Hie last-named has gone on the right way since his Christmas campaign, tho lightweight L. Morris should have a very comfortable ride on him.

Sacramento has earned a 101b; penally in the Grandstand Handicap, seven furlongs, ranking his weight, Sst. 9lb. This will cause the majority of the public to nass'liim, and thev may favour' Star Lady, whom many thought was unlucky to be defeated by • him at Dannevirkq. Lovematnh, Ethiopean, and Lord .Muskerry .'all come from slables controlled by the 'Quinlivans, of Hastings, and the best of the trto should make an interesting race with Star Lady. A. Reed will have theniount'oii Lovcmalch, who was in..a'place each day at Napier. ■ The field in the Cup is 'stronger in point Of numbers than it is in Quality.' The top weight, Red Ribbon, can hardly be ready, arid a similar remark applies io Vagabond. Rose Pink is in the paddock, and Municipal has not struck form this season. . Depredation and Pacific. Slope have both; been showing signs of soreness.iu.their .recent engagements. ' Classification, is just in -from a spell. Gold Soult is an unlikely starter, and Jean Laddo does not stay the journey. This fines the field down considerably. Battle Song .won the Napier Cup in hollow style, and though he did not beat .much', good' judges think he is superior to Bonny' Maid, whom lie regularly defeats in track gallops, and he may bo favourite for to-day's race.. Cooing 'is reported to he a greatly improved mare, lint she would r.eed to improve a lot on her public forni to Imve a.chance of defeating Battle Song. The way Sonniho.accounted for Jigritiya at Feilding and the subsequent form of the latter makes Sonnino' out .to be very useful. He recently ran a great gallop on -the private vraek where.he is trained and ridden by the successful.: lightweight L. Morris, and he may be the most, difficult for Battle Song to dispose of to-day. There are only six carded for the Welter Handicap, but the whole of the entrants have made tho acceptance. Penalties on Transmission and . Cross Words' for their Napier wins will probably mean that Papanui, a place-getter behind Cooing at Warignnni, wilt ho favourite.

The Electric Handicap, five, furlongs, has drawn the biggest'field of the day, and'looks "like giving, investors the most trouble. Torfreila has a 51b.' .penalty, making her weight 9st. 2lb. She-is very smart whon at her best, arid witli Demos and Bonny Briar should''be'handy at the finish.

'The unbeaten Statuette, 9st. 21b.. is at the'hea'd of the list in (he Plying Handicap. So far she has "only won over'five furlongs, but in her Iwq'winning efforts, she did' 1 not appear, to 'be stopping at the finish. The only horse likely to put a stop to. her winning sequence is tho improving Old Gold.- but be has to shbul'der a 161b. penalty for his dual-success at: Tauhereniknu. ' This makes his' impost 7st. 131b.', which appears to bring him rather close to the top weight. . Goldstream, Birkenvale, tfimonidos, and Jean Laddo are unlikely, sinrters in the Borough AA r elter Handicap. Napier form gives Retard, 9st. 41b.; a chance with any of the others. "
