November Back Agala. Readers who have followed foent racing news for some time will be pleased to hear that November, once a strong candidate for the 1993 Derby, was brought back to the Colony on Wednesday. November, racing in Mrs. Paterson's colours, did not do too well at the 1928 race. meeting, although it showed great promise during training.

Elliot Bay, as stated previously, returned on Wednesday with five griffins for Mr. Dunbar, who al ready had one in the stable. These five, ponies, a dapple grey, a chest. nut, a marble grey, a Toan, and a liver chestnut, will no doubt form the centre' of attraction when train ing becomes more intensive.

That useful little suli, The Phea sant, is back again looking very, fit.

Messrs. Hyne's and Mackie's Pickle is also back with us, looking full of life. Peppercorn (last year's griffin) is here too, but not Peterkin. In addition to these the stable has two chestnut and a bay griffins.

Mr. W. T. Stanton brought_n gritha down on Wednesday, and a the skewbald animal arrived on same boat to carry the colours of Messrs. Tester & Abraham in the Derby, if he is good enough.
