The yearlings Hayduck and Good Hay, associated in a sprint over a furlong in the back straight, recorded 12 2-ss, and hit out in approved style for a first sprint. Jlayduk shaped very well and promises to creditably represent Salove, a new sire. An Oration—Miss Kgypt filly and a Verineer—Aureola gelding were sent two furlongs, the Oration filly getting the better of the start and leading her companion by two lengths at the end In 25 4-os. • Representative and Royal Merit strode over the Inst three furlongs of their task in 41 :j-ss, the fl/st-named doing his work in effortless manner and giving the impression that he will be well forward for early spring racing. Ascot Bloom worked solidly over a mile and a half, sprinting the last halfmile easily in 555, while Proud Fox hit out in dashing style with Lovaals over half a mile in 5Li .'l-.js.
