NOTES.

mzzzsj \33y "Also Started.") Tho Dannevirke meeting was one of the most' successful held) by the Club. It is /another case of getting the fields and you will get the public, who are essential for the success of a meeting. The Wairarapa "sports" sports missed the first race, owing to' the train taking some time to negotiate an incline.

Those who were present at Dannevirke say that the course and appointments are greatly improved siiico last year.

Brown Trout once again let his supporters down. His connections thought lie had only to go put to w:n in the big event at Tamaki. Otahu winner of the Spring Handicap at Dannevirke, has won quite a number of. races as a hack, and is ■ said to be useful.

B. Keeper decided not to take bis filly Gay Lass through to Dannevirke. She may be given a run at Otaki. The disappointing Panthea, ran into third place in the Maiden at Dannevirke.

What a great old battler Don Carlos is. In the Dannevirke Steeplechase he had all the worst''of. matters and "strolled" in at the finish. Glenmore, who appears to have trained off beat all tho others. Glenmore

■surely deserves a spell. Beginning at Wellington in the autumn he has been in -solid commissnon ever since.

Kina was the only favourite to catch the judge's eye at Dannevirke. A. Julian is a very unlucky horseman. He was again unfortunate enough to break 'his collar-bone when Longboat fell i:\ the Hunters' Steeplechase.

There was plenty of money for Strathmoira at Dannevirke. He did not run so well as at Marton, and got into ln'a fences.

While .schooling a horse oil the Hastings' racecourse* a few morirugs ago Mr • John ftllingham received n heavy' fall through his mount coming to grief at one of the hurdles. He sustained a fracture of the right arm above the wrist.

.While being schooled on the eve of Marton meeting the Stratford owned Bismarck slipped into a fenc,e and cut his shin. It will be sonTp time before ho races again. Brmongardo lias gone -right out of favour for the Epsom. This occasions no surprise, as it is an oppri secret that George Price preferred the sta-bl-' mate Bronze. A horse has to be something more than- a brilliant sprinter to win the Epsom. It is generally agreed that plenty of stamina is required for the big mile handicaps. Labour Day is -reported to he'particularly well inst at present. She will probably start at. Wangauui at tho end of this month.
