NOTES AND COMMENTS

By Gle.s'coe. The Avondale meeting, which was postponed last Saturday on account of she ' weather, will be held to-day. The card is a flue one, and if the weather has cleared there should be some excellent sport. Included in the field for the Maiden Race la the New Plymouth-owned Stork, who'is to bo ridden by Gray. Reports credit the son of White Crane with being -much abovo the average. Mcrmin (Abßurd—Sea Elf), one of the Stead team, may fce tho best fancied m the Avondale Stakes. The local, candidate, Lady Violet, vould have rivalled lum for the position of favourite, had the gome been good, but she is a leggy sort, and not likely t'p shine 011 a heavy track. Trentham form points to Kerehone in the Grey Lynn In rdles, but tho little - fellow may ho troubled by Sir Agnes, who stays on well, and is also at home in soft going. ' The Cup iB an r-en event, and there is nlcnty of room for a surprise. Pari--1 »ian Diamond and Delight have been : scratched, and favouritism may rest te- . tween Gaaique, Marqueteur, and Royal . Abbey. Gasbag is the best of the three-year-old division. , Hltholia. who is ton-weight in the HaM 1 Welter Handicap, di tinguished _ himselt last week by easily accounting for Glen Oanny in a private trial. As the gallop later became public property, the son of Demosthenes may be one of the not, orders to-day. ■ t .,» Parisian Diamond is likely to forfat his engagement .in the Flying Hnnrflcnp ' in favour of his "table-companion. Statuette, who has been doing splendid work since journeying rorth. Delight may be the moßt- formidable of the opposition.
