NOTES AND COMMENTS

, (By Glencoe.) • The Christchurch Hunt Club will hold a race meeting at Ricearton on Snlurday. Several ot the horses which are' io race at the big meeting next moiitli will bo seen out on Saturday. Since his win in (lie .Wint'el* Hurdles Omahui has been well spoken'of as lil;»ly to do further service at 'Riccnrton. Tie had Ost. 81b." at Trentham, ond considering the tradesinanlike' mariner in which ho accomplished his task, lie is not badly treated with an additional 131b. He looks certain to again finish in front of Rewi Poto, Cynic, Parana, Multive. and the other horses lie beat at. Trentliam.

It is understood tlmt Seadown'has already been withdrawn from his -Riccnrton engagements, and the big Downshire gelding is lo be spelled for a few weeks. Mr. ,H. W. Brown's horse, Form Up, seems to be ong of the jiopular fancies for tho Winter Cup. in" which he lias been weighted at-lOst.'3lb., or 131b. less fhnn he carried last year. In the August Handicap, six furlongs, Form Up carried list, (lib., and finished third to All Over and. Ibex. . ..

Lbcnlly -the impression prevails that, if one the top weights is about at tho finish'of. the .Winter' Cup it will, bo Gazir|ue. The Gawl'ey gelding ran a sterling race in the Winter Oats at Trentham,' and he was close .up fourth at the finish. His showing was much the ,'best' 6.f Ihe'top weights'.

The hurdle,"horse. Pnraoa, is.still at Trentham, but he .is to be shipped south early next week. -

The local Winter Cup candidate. Battle Array, is working satisfaetorilv at Trentham. On Saturday morning he accounted for Parisian Diamond in a gallop over six furlongs.

, Gold Kip and Sir Agnes are regular workers at Trentham. The pair are to go sou,th early'next week.

H.'TelfoTd has vpqoinmiss'nncd 80-Pee;-Philomela,' and Fu.Uca,.. The trio looks •well after their sneli.

Vagabond lio.s been scratched for the "Winter Cup as iiis trainer considered his weight excessive. The Martian . gelding is to lie sent homo at the first opportunity. His''absence will leave S. "Reid without a mount: in tho Winter Clip, but probably his services will be secured for some other horse in the day of the-race. Trainers S. Waddell. P." llalone. and P.. Moraghan are still at Trentham, awaiting a favourable opnortiiniilv lo return home. Probably they and their horses will go north on the Moltoia at the'end of the week.
