Notes by Makino. Pyramus paying. Mr S. Powell making a name for himself. Acceptances and general entries for Egmont Winter Meeting close to-night. Hill and Poole have just leased another, anything Alick McOormick brings out is well worth watching. I hear that Fred Harrison is likely to secure two or three boxes in Feilding. He should get plenty of support, he being Al with young ones. Mr J. B. Henry is building up a big name, his handicapping giving satisfaction all around. Clubs which haye not already secured his seryices should keep their eye on him. Nominations for Wanganui Steeplechase, fair in number, but I am sorry to see the names of some of the big guns missing. "When are clubs going to stop the talking totalizators from working at the meetings. I know of at least fifty pounds that did not go through the machine at our late meeting on account of one or two book-makers laying totalizator odds. Whalebone is a safe tip for Egmont Steeplechase. Feilding should have a top on stand by next meeting. Another ;£SOO spent in improvements would not be thrown away. Pony racing is coming into vogue again up Auckland way. Fair Ellen and Waiter each placed a win to their name this week on the other side. lam informed they still belong to Frank Bell. Nominations for Wanganui Two-year-old Stakes, March 1892, and Wanganui Derby, Noyember 1892, close to-night.
