NOTES. Sporting'writers comment on the failure of the Richmond-Stead team, horses respecting which great deeds were anticipated ia the spring campaigns, whereas only ono race—the Gimcrack StiakeWell to this combination, which cost the public a mint of money. It is believed that better management would have resulted in at least paying expenses. A bad policy is to blame the jockeys. Owners change them frequently when their horses are defeated. Surveyor was the most costly horse, being heavily supported in Six races without winning one. Mr. W. G. Stead is returning to day. The horses Surveyor and Delight will go in the Moerakl on November 19. THE QUEENSLAND CUP. WON BY EARL KITCHENER. Received Nov. 9, 5.5 p.m. Brisbane Nov. 9.

Metropolitan meeting i will bo advanced another stage to-dfiy, when the Now Zealand Derby Stakes, of l r »00 sov3., one mile and a half will bo the principal at--1 traction. This year's three-year-olds are • I hardly up to the standard set by previous ;. winners like Gloaming. Estland, Desert Gold, ' | Noctulform, and Nightfall, but in Affectation, » Rossini, Royal Stag, and Lucid we have a * quartette of promising horses. Affectation Ja llktly to stnrt a slightly bitter favorite

than Rosßinl to-day, hut both have had plenty of racing, and their meeting promises to provide an Interesting race. Rossini Is very fast up to a mile and a quarter, but it is expected that the Xilbroney colt will prove his master over the final stages of the race. The Metropolitan Handicap, of 1250 sovs., one mile and a half, and the Criterion Handicap, of 700 sors„ seven furlongs, are the principal handicap events, and punters will probably find Cup and Stewards' form the best guide to-day. The Auckland RC. spring meeting will be brought to a conclusion ou Wednesday The cramped prices quoted right through the pioco about Gay Lad's New Zealand Cup chance culminated in "no money" on the charts issued on the eve of the meeting. They're a En mo crowd!

The greatest weight carried successfully in the New Zealand .Cup is 8.9, under which Tas-1 man. Vanguard^'Lady Zetland, and Rasanof! triumphed. With races run at top from barrier: rise to finish It is not likely that the feat will he beaten, unless an exceptionally weak field happens along to oppose a crack horse. Many good horses have gone near breaking the 8.9 mark ln-ihe Cup. Nelson ran second In 1886 with 9.if), while Uuroclydon ran Lady Zetland close in the Cup of 1896 with 9.5 up In 1903. Kairlki, 9.2, and Achilles, 96, were narrowly defeated by Canteen, and in 19U, Loa Angelos carried 9.3 into third place. In | 19J2, Midnight Sun was third with 8.13, and j last year Allied a siratlar position with 8.11.
