NOTES BV "MOTUROA." Though it in only four weeks torn (he New Zealand Cup, there Is practical!? no business iotng- Nightfan fs firm favourite at 1 to 1, t ridiculously low price considering the stable has other candidates and that there are two more payments due -before backers oan guagc the strength of the field. The topic of the week has been the action trf the A.R.C. Committee in passing a motion to eiclude bookmakers from future meetings. The decision caused great consternation in tho ranks of (tie Auckland xm-tal-licans. The motion was adopted on the casting rote of the chairman, the Hon. 10. Mitckelson, who on being ftvbeiYrowai subsequently, stated that his mind had been urade up on this- subject for a very long time, and he accepted fall responsibility for his action. Que of the reasons given by Mr Mitchelson is "a desire to raise the tone of the club, which ati present is at a very low ebb." Also he is of opinion "that the booknwk-' er a* an Institution ia fiijmical to the welfare of sooiety, for thos« who cannot afford to are encouraged to bet, With tlie result they have in so many instances to borr»w or Steal, or else repudiate their debts to the bookmaker." There is a great deal of public feoling in Aucklaid on both sides, a«d the matter has not been finished with by a,riy means. An extensively sjgned r«fuismon has been presented t>o the chairman, asking) that a special meeting of members er the club be tailed for the purpose #f diseussrag the resolution 'passed by the coramitfee. Raaing at Wellington next Friday and Saturday. The V.A.T.C. meeting commences to-day, wlien the Caulfield Stakes and Camfil-ld Guineas will he run.

A Napier scribe, commenting on Cuneiform s success in the HaWs Hay Guineas says :-"Cuneiform is a nice, muscular, well turned colt, who oo more ;alt'iactive when galloping F wllcn 111 repose. He is sure, with luck, to extern! his winning record. wL'r.

The report of the race states that he jumped well ana ran I • good race, and -should have won bnt for his rider keeping him a loog way behind tie field. He ran into second plac#, but was disqualified as his rider could not draw the weight. Seatiar.se was seen out again 19 th# same month in the Shillelah Steeplechase, in ; which event i he started favourite at 10 to 1 on. He was again unfortunate, as when hold in.: his companions safe, ' hj« shti'-ii a post and rail fence heavily, faltered, and kafl to he pulled up. It was found that cno toot was bad-;

ly torn, but hopes are entertained, that the Nelson horse may race again. American journals state that Seahorse is the best steeplechases they ban's had lor 'many a year.
