RANDOM NOTES. Thtj Auckland Cup candidate Melodcon was bwii out in the principal handicap nt Woodville on Wednesday. According to, press reports the son of Medallion and Melodia must bo credited with a meritorious performance. H« was giving weight to everything in the race, and was just beaten by half a length by Itopa, who had (201b tho '.best of the weights. The fact that th* mile and a tjuarter was cut put In 2mjn 8 8-6 sac on a very baavv course speaks frr itself. Melodeon's chance in tho Auckland Cup looks promising with only 7st 71b, as the horse is a proved stayer, and now he appears |to be getting into form again he must, be reckoned dangerous. Disquieting rumours have Eeen 1• circulation during the week about bcth Mafautonga and Quarr,\-man. Iho former was shoulder sore after doing a couple of circuits last Saturday, whilst Quarryman displayed symptoms of soreness last Tuesday. Rowover, in his work the fol,owing morning he moveH in attractive style. I'rofcabl.v he was feeling tho effects of the steamer trip up the coast. I'aritutu is trained privately, but from all accounts the local representative is in great form, land Ito "n a position to make a liold bid for victory. I>e Ix-tting market is very juiet. Locally I'aritutu is favourite at 4 to 1, and he Is sure to have a big following on the [day of the race. The Melbourne states thai T. Scully, trainer of the Caulfield Cup winner. Marvel Loch, has a largti t«am in work at Randwirk nt present. His chargjes total I'V, amongst Hum being Masvel Loch, Maniapoto, I'ort Arthur, and l.a'iy Evelyn. Mr J. Hogg returned from Sydney last Wednesday by the s..i. llonowal, and brought the hurdle mare Levant back with him. Mr Hogg, on being interviews! by ai Wellington scrilio. stated "that the Irip was not a- fin ancial success, although Levant won a couple of suburban hurdle races." He was of opinion that ihe mare was treated harshly, having to carry 11 st 4tt> up to list 121b, whereas she generally received about 9st 101T> in this Colony.

Mr (!. (r. Stead s representatives at the A.K.C. summer meeting will be Xightfall, Cuneiform, and Iluascar. The FeiMrng Jockey Club cleared beMrem £3OO and £IOO over tho last meeting. A h«lf sister to 'Ghoorkn, Loch Katrine, Benedict, amd Amourette liy Graftcn from Fiance, has been naniml The Intended. Fifty horses remain in the Manawatu Stakes after declaration ol sw cond forfeit. Ropa, the highly-bred son of SI. ami Rrown Alice, apjiears to lx» regaining the form he displayed as a two-year-old. Last season he ran very disappointingly, failing to catch the judge's eye. Last week nt Feildinc Ropa was just beaten for first pbire, and at "tt'oodvillo on Wednesday ho wen the principal event, beating a good field. Windmill, the dam of Air Motor, and Spalpeen. Has foaled a colt to Soult, k brown in colour, and described |as a| strong healthy youngster. . Of the six flat*«ventsjat Christchurch list Saturday, Hewitt ami Jones redo five winners. The fcrmcr scored on Mythical. Machine Gun, and Count Lochiel, whilst F. Jonjs rode Tirole and King StorJc. "Hie Wellington Racing ClulJ has granted a license to T. Carroll, who in June last, was (disqualified for six months. Carroll's services wII be in great tleirand. He can ride fist 71b, and is a capable horseman. Stepdancer was a warm favourite for the Wlmteori Handicap at Christchurch last Saturday. Though favoured by the services of Hewitt, she was never dangerous. AJ Southern writer is of opinion that Bagpipes was very unlucky to lose the W ndsor Handicap. He says Jas. Pine, th« jockey, appeared to he completely asleep on tho ,■ mare, ami after gcltiug tndly away allowed her to gallop leisurely along in the rear until about two furlongs from home. She 'then came with a tremendous rattle. «nd in 'another 'two strides would have won. The writer adds : "It was a great piece of misfortune for her owner, whose luck has bivn disgustingly Ibad for some time past, that solely through indifferent horsemanship llagpipes should have missed winning." Oiy Spark is an unlikely starter in the Auckland Cup. Qnnrryman will l>e piloted by V. Cotton. Tho A.R.C. Commitliv are building p stand in a CBWtef of the birdcag'for tho use ,of only, from which lbey will be able to view the races, ami also lie handy jto receive their charges, aftei they return to weigh in. Carruthors". |lho Valdhurst lightweight. has had his license cancelled for .using obscene language when away from the course. After final payments, only five horses continue their the Ashhurst Guineas, to be run on Dec. 28—Aorangi. Oemiine. Sylvan Tide, Waitapu, and Tangoroa. On performances Mhe everii appears a go<-d thing for Aorangi MOTI'ROA.
