NOTES AND COMMENTS Br Glbncoi.

The, long-delayed improvements to the Treuthaiu appointments are to be commenced on September 1. Tira initial, work will consist of erecting the new stand for Leger patrons, and it is expected that this will lie in readiness for lira October meeting. After this the erection of the new inside stand and a .members’ stand, will be proceeded with, and it is hoped that patrons of the Cup meeting will be able to occupy ths new buildings. The club’s architect, Mr,' ju. S. Luttrell, is at present in Australia purchasing material for the undertaking. In all, about 175 men will be employed on the works. Kyoto is being regularly schooled over hurdles at Trentham, and is reported to be jumping well. Caretaker J. . Scott has recently converted the schooling track at Trentham into a grass gallop for two-year-olds, and the innovation is greatly appreciated by owners. Trainer A. M'Aulay has decided that it is not worth while persevering further with the Tetrarch horse Tractor, and he will probably b- returned to his owner, Mr. J. B. Reid. The sum of was given for the lease of Tractor by’ Mr. H. AV. Brown. Dr. A. K. Newinan has decided that Halifax is to fulfil his engagement in the Avondale Cup. The bay gelding has been galloping well at Trentham, and in a trv out ovor seven furlongs lie budlj defeated Battle Song. Explorer, who showed such fine form in the Svdenham Hurdle Race at Riccarton on -Saturday, figures amongst the horses engaged in the Waverley Hack Handicap at the Egmont-M anganui Hunt Club meeting. H. Goldfinch, who is to ride Duo and Co in their Randwick engagements left for Sydney by the Ulimaroa on Thursday. . , , Esperance has been taken in hand again, and looks well after her spell. C. Pritchard is also busy with SweeMemory. . Arrowsmith is standing up to at Trentham, and it is quite on the cards that he will be °s the Wanganui meeting. So L 'Here every indication that the brilliant son of Chaucer will survive a preparation. When Mustard Pot won the August Handicap al Biccarton last Tlinreaay h. credited Mr. G. B. Starky, the Clinst church owner, with his first success at Riccarton for about thirty years. Manawapango has been _ thrown out of commission, and he uill 1» to a sn»ll Ths All Black gelding earned place money in two steeplechases• at (lie Grand National meeting, but was not at his best, and probably was still feeling the effects of his fall at VS inga-» tui early in June. The' Campfire gelding, The Digger, who recently joined S. Trilford’s team has started on his education as a jumper. He shapes well, and he may be among the winners in this department, before tho spring meetings are disposed of. P, V. Mason is keeping his charges moving along in strong work. They are a promising lot. with Egotism, lespucci, and Pluto included in the older division. while Farceur and Tressayr are a couple of promising two-year-olds. Rational’s two-year-old sister, Veil (Ab-surd-Cowl), who is a member of the team K. J. Mason has m Australia, is reported to be galloping well. The New Zealand-bre-1 Big wluef is booked to make his Australian debut in the Three-year-old Maiden Handicap at Canterbury Park to-day. Fairly good progress ifi. btmg made with the new totalisator building at Riccarton, which is situated at the rear of the grandstand. The club fully expects to have the electric machine in‘tallcd in time for the November meet-

mg. In illustrating the high charges now in force for the transport of horses by rail in New Zealand, Mr. 3. AVilliamson states that it cost him seven shillings more to send Multiplane to Wanganui (340 miles) by rail than the sum paid for the passage of Loyal Irish to Sydney by boat, which ran to 1700 miles. Amythas is again a regular attendant on the Riccarton tracks, and, though he shows slight signs of lameness, his trainer bos every hope of getl dig him right for spring racing.
