NOTES AND COMMENTS

By Giencoe, Entries for tho Woodville. Meeting must bo in tho hnnds of Secretary W. A. Lyon by 8 o'clock to-night. It was the intention of ,T. M'Laughlin to race Fortune Teller at Levin, but the Bezonian filly went off and she will not 1m raced until tho Woodville and Danneyirko Meetings. The same trainer is giving Bachsheosh an easy time of it, but he is keeping Edendale up to tho collar, and probably the Solferjno voungster. who looks to have made up a lot as the result of his Trenthnm races, will bo a runner in the Maiden Plato nt Woodville. A. Shcarsby, who has relinquished the training business for some years,' hns again.set up nt'Palmerston North. The two-voar-old. Sunnv Vale, purchased by Mr. '.T. Harle, at the Christchurch sales, has been given him to train. 6. Jones, who was the last of tho visitors to leave Riccnrton. had his team on board tho Napier mail train yesterday. With the execution of Truthful the horses are all well, and after a few days' let up they will be got ready for their Ellerslio engagements.. Truthful is to lie spelled. The acceptances for the St. Andrews Handicap at the Feilding Meeting are disappointing, and out of the sixteen horses weighted, only five have been paid up for. A better fiold might have been got together had the payment not been made a fortnight before the races. Tho Takapuna Meeting will take place to-morrow and on Wednesday next. _ The victory registered by Surveyor in the (5. G. Stead Memorial Cup marked the fourth occasion on which that event has been won by a horse carrying the colours of one of the Messrs. Stead. In the. race of 1912 Bon Revo, who raced In the interests of Messrs. W. G. and G. L Stead, led tho field homo: and four venrs after The Toff scored in the colours of Mr. G. L. Stead, followed at an interval of ft vcar bv a victory for Sasanof, who was Mr. W. G. Stead's nomination, and it was under the latter s eolours that Surveyor won the woight-for-nge race at Riccnrton on Saturday "Vr. Henry Moses, M.L.C.. father of ■Messrs. W. and F. Moses.- the breeders and owners of Poitrel, attained the ago of 88 on the day that Poitrel won the Cup. , , , Jack Symons put up a record for coii-f sistcncy'at the C.J.C. Meeting. He started' in the four hurdle races and was a winner once, and was placed second in his other three starts. The Awapuni trained Maniahcrn, winner of both hufdlo races at the Trentham Meeting last moKth, is booked to appear in the Waituna Hurdles at Feilding, and with" lOst. lllb. on his back he is liot at nil badly treated., Nobleman is in regular work at Awapuni, and so far there are no 6igns of tho soreness which rendered necessary his withdrawal from the New Zealand Cup. The Sir Lnddo gelding is to be given a race in the Welter Handicap at Feilding. Silver Link is to be given a race at Ashhurst to sharpen her un for her engagement in the Fcildine Stakes. Orano, winner of the Hack Hurdles nt Levin, is an unlikely starter at Ashhurst next week. ,\ . ■. L, Bv her victory in the open Levin on Wednesday, Nursing Sifter has incurred a 101b. penaltv fo? the Pohangina Handicap at Ashhurst. She is an u'dikelv starter. A Press Association message from London states that the Prince of Wales inspected Kinlark at Tnttersall's.
