Training Wptes- ■ Wellington, Yesterday.

This morning the Island Bay coarse i resented a busy scene, the majority of tftg

horses located in (he neighborhood being on the track, although there was little fast work done. Daring pare of the time the rain came down heavily, and A toot’s billet was by no means a pleasant one. Dan O’Brien’s team were oat early. Tasman, looking first-rate, went round ,by himself, and was then picked up by Rubina and Gaiters, and the three did another circuit at half speed Mr Butler worked Fusilier and Talebearer ; the former went the Gold Oup distance, picked up at the three-quarter mile post by Talebearer, who brought him home pretty fast. Both horses wetit Wldba*"style, but Fusilier’s pipes were as noigyas yesterday. Linwood, in sweaters, want • three times round slow. Sou’-wsstar and t, Ugly Buck, separately, did a fast mile,; , the former went particularly welL Trickster travelled three times round at a fair pace. Lady Evelyn was out and did a fast mile. Black Bose only walked/ bat Clogs did a rousing gallop of a mile. Marniion also did a good gallop once round, moving freely and welL Several others were out walking. This morning a thanderstorm passed . . over the town, but after midday the weather cleared, and this evening there Is every probability of its being fine to- * morrow. The rain has done the Island Bay course much good, And unless there is more wet it will be capital going. There was a very large attendance at Tattersail’s to-night, and business was' more < animated. Tigredia is a decided favorite., for the Gold Oup, at 6 to 4. Black Bose has receded slightly, and is quoted at 3 to 1. The prices of the others in the Gold Gup show no alteration from quotations telegraphed last night. Jim was scratched for the first day’s hurdles at 4 this afternoon, and Salvage for the Gold Oup at' 7.30 p.m. This afternoon the owners and trainers engaged the bookmakers in a cricket match, when the latter sustained a hollow defeat.
