The race track at Addington wai ploughed up last week, but it has sooi been put in order again, and horses wen working to-day on the part that hat received attention. Trainers assertet that it had never been in better ordei than at present. W. J. Tomkinson worked Concliff Elzear, Logan Park and Daimeny ill Addington this morning, die quartel going a little further than a mile anr; β-half at a useful speed, and all did theji work quite satisfactorily. Coneiiff is fasi getting into good racing condition, and k remaining quite sound. Jolly Pet. who seems to be settling down to steady work, was sent a little further than a mile and a-quarter, and paced in his beet style. Hinkler, Lingfield, Wilina Dillon, and Prince Pointer set off in that order, with gaps of about half a dozen lengths between them. When they had gone a round Prince Pointer closed" up to Wilina Dillon, and the pair theii raced in line. A little further on Lingfield took charge and led Hinkler by a couple of lengths. The horses were worked right-handed, and after doing a mile and a-half at a useful speed they commenced to go faster round the turn out of the straight. They sprinted along the back stretch, going about two miles in all. It was an interesting piece of work, although none of the pacere went at top. Wai and Country King were jogged a couple of rounds, and then the trotter did about a mile at a faster clip, going without any mistakes. Country King was net worked fast. PvOlcx worked a little further than a mile at a, solid sped. The pacer is fast getting into his best form.
