NOTES AND COMMENTS

Glandore Taking Things Easy The roan horse Glandore, belonging to Mr. G. Hill, is pottering about the tracks, having an easy time. Pie is not carrying much condition and it will not take his trainer long to get him into shape for racing. The son of Honest Huon—Florrie B has not been having the best of luck for some time, finding it necessary to go pretty fast on occasions for the lean end of the stakes. All sportsmen hope to see the game little pacer and his sportive owner having a turn at Fortune’s wheel shortly. Bang True at Last. . Kerrwood Bell, winner of the opening event at Dunedin on Thursday, is an aged mare by Coldstream Bells, and has not won a race for two years. Last year the Southern-owned trotter laced the starter on 17 occasions, her Portion being four seconds. Prior to the Forbury meeting the mare had started seven times this season, without earning a place, so her victory was not before time. Reach Society. The four-year-old colt by Nelson ■j'hngen—Miss Spear, Nelson McElwyn, ouly landed the Domain Handicap at l orbury, beating a good field of usehil pacers. This well-bred customer u.as been racing prominently and consistently in Otago and Southland and Promises to take his place next season 11 high-grade company. A Smart Youngster. , TJl 6 re cent attractive form displayed P y the Author Dillon—Lady Jinks geld-ff-®uSgested he would pick up a stake «t Dunedin, and the three-year-old did hot disappoint his friends in this respect. He stood some smart milers ‘P two and three seconds and beat }em. pointless. Despite, his. easy ictory, Author Jinks registered 2.14. remarkably smart performance and ‘jne that brings young Author into the dress circle. A Sound Bell. added another victory to f r * lst on Thursday, which makes * r out of five starts this season. She . a square-gaited mare by Great Auaubon from Myrtle Bell, and . ™ lses go a long way up the uttmg belfry. In another year of she may be the unhoppled •‘belle.” Queen’s Own to the Fore.

firS Ueen s Own was showing such a 8h« « et . urn to at Addington when “h ls hed second to the speedy and f nr S -tj* ent Black Admiral that a win 00per 8 mare was shortly anticilnat/T- The daughter of Adonis duly dlf * lalised at Dunedin, where she Fvf atec ] a better favourite in Fight * *r, after a fine race. ***** v ®r Fights Stubbornly. Kennerley held a strong hand in the v° e at Forbury, with Fight Ever thf* King and the bracket was th« p ? t>ular selection. The pair filled it i p !? ces behind Queen’s Own, and °* s a® if they might have done not f r ‘ Native Chief was evidently Pig.,died to the bes*; advantage and th£ Ever sot a bad passage. Once Pl*nT oan adding got clear he showed kt'L oi ‘ g bt but came off second

Roans Race Prominently. The colour line—roan—was much in evidence during the earlier part of the Forbury meeting, although second berth was their main. Katute, Wenlo and Fight Ever, all roan coloured, filled second place in their respective engagements. The greys, Queen’s General, Blue Thorpe and Charles Dixie did not colour the horizon on the occasion. Tramp Fast When He Likes.

Trampfast tramped fast enough in the two mile trotters’ contest to keep his opponents from getting the thick end of the wad. The Logan Pointer gelding began correctly and that was the end of penny section, as he made no mistakes and won easily. He will very likely tramp a lot faster next season.

Logan Pointer Well Represented. Logan Pointer progeny were well in the picture on Thursday at Dunedin over the concluding stages, when Trampfast, Logan Hanlon and Logan Holme annexed the last three heats. Logan Honlon, paying an appreciable price, defeated a large field in the Renown Handicap, while Logan Holme, from his place of vantage on the machine, paid a much shorter figure, when he beat the harness sprinters home in the harness mile. N.Z. Sapling Stakes.

Next month at the Ashburton meeting the New Zealand Sapling Stakes for [■ two-year-olds will cime up for deci- 1

sion, and will be looked forward to with interest by followers of the sport. At present it looks as if the event will result in a duel between the South Island colt Vestas and the North Island filly Enawah, both of whom have shown impressive form in public. There will, of course, be one or two of the untried division, doing good work on the tracks and these may help to make the race more interesting. A Sparkling Jewel

In appearance Jewel Pointer is as bright and sparkling as the very best in any jewellers shop, and Trainer Shaw has not been sparing in his attentions to the stocky little pacer. The son of Logan Pointer is not being bustled, but when the time arrives to put in the solid tasks, Mr. Moodabe’s handsome speed merchant will be ready to tackle anything he is asked to do.

John Dillon, Junior A novice, John Dee, by John Dillon, was taken up to the Ashburton Trotting Club’s autumn meeting, but failed to make good for his southern admirers, although he made a good showing for part of the journey. However, this juvenile has not had a great deal of experience yet, and he will surely do well as a four-year-old next season. John Dillon, sire of John Dee, was a splendid representative of Harold Dillon and won many good races from one to two miles.
