Conditions were very favourable for training operations at Riccarton on Saturday and some interesting gallops, in view of the Wellington and Waimate Meetings, were done on the outside of the course proper and on the plough, both tracks providing fast going. On the Plough. Jaloux and Pacify cantered to the five furlong post and then rati home at' a Mrong pace. Both appear to be in bright condition. Winsome Hind onee more showed her track ability by reeling off seven furlongs in lmin 28 3-ssec, the first half in SOsec. A reproduction of this effort at Trentham would bring her success. Riri and Kakara comfortably covered seven furlongs in lmin 31sec, finishing together. Meprisant and Muff were allotted a similar task. They ran the first -|lireo in 36 l-ssee, half in 40 3-osec, and full journey in lmin 29aec. Elude, Minerval, and Red Heckle were associated in a working gallop over a mile, taking lmin 47 3-ssec. Dunraven ran six furlongs well in lmin 17sec, the last three in 39sec. Cricket Bat, assisted by Ball Dress, was sent seven, furlongs, finishing in front in lmin 29 l-ssec. He Y>dll be in vtrong demand f6r the Thompson Handicap, in which he will be ridden by A. K. Ellis. Taragona had half a leilgth advantage from Shatter at tlje end of seven furlongs taking lmin 30 3-ssec, the last three in 39 3-ssec. The former- will " have the services of I. Tilson in the high-weight events at Trentham. Fast Passage drew attention to her condition by galloping nine furlongs in lmin 56 2-ssec, the first half in 51sec, and the last half in 53 2-ssec. Sailqr's Love accompanied Her £or the last seven furlongs, Moorbird, with a feather-weight up, gave an encouraging display in easily accounting for Grecian Prince over six furlongs run in lmin 16sec, the last three in 40sec. While Moorbird does some outstanding work in her gallops on the plough, Grecian Prince has seldom won a trial. Moorbird will probably race on tl\e secpnd day at Trentham, and if so will be ridden by A. E. Ellis. A decision in regard to Grecian Prince has not yet been ihade, but he will carry put his Thompson Handicap engagement if a suitable rider is obtainable. The Quorn headed Desert Song at the end of four furlongs in 52 3-ssee, but neither was ridden out. The former will start in the hack event at Trentham and ■will have the services of H. Gray. Tarquinius and True Shaft strode over six furlongs in lmin 18 2-ssec, and Vcrden covered five furlongs in lmin 4 l-sscc. Ked Royal, joined by Niggerhcad at six furlongs, galloped seven furlongs in lmin 33 2-ssec, the first half in 51 2-5 aet * Monastic showed that he is partial to a journey by galloping seven furlongs in lmin 29 2-ssec, the first half in 49 3-ssec. Taku Tama' joined him near the six furlong post and finished a little in front of his mate. Monastic will be ridden at Westport by ,A. Eastwood, and Taku Tama by K. Coveny, and both should again race prominently. On the Course Proper. Trestles* were placed some forty feet out from the rails, and tho portion of the track used was very fast, especially beforo the breakfast hour. Gay Crest and Charmeuse were com- ? >nnions in a six furlong task. -The ormer broke away in front, but CharmeußO was on terms with him at tho half mile and finishod half a length in front in the good time of*lmin 15 3-5 sec, the last half taking 50see.. Gay Crest did his work well, and with a % reasonable passage in the Thompson Handicap, in which he will be ridden by 11. Gray, he will bo a source of trouble at tho business end. Charmeuse should collect some money at Westpojrt, where she will be ridden by M. Kirwan, and her chance with 7-12 in the Great Easter Handicap again looks favourable. A rider for her in this event has not yet been booked. Tout le Mo lid and Hilary impressed by recording lmin Usee for six furlongs, the latter going the better at the finish. ,

Eamo and Solwit were dispatched from the mile post, running the first half in 51 3-ssec and the full distance iu lmin 43 l-ssec. The latter showed promise by keeping with his companion right up to'the finishing post. Banclagh was responsible for another attractive effort in galloping a mile, Rational 11. joining him after a furlong had been covered. The first half took 50 2-osee, and the full journey lmin 42see, the latter finishing in front. Great Star and Grand Eeview were sent the reverse way in view of their Easter trip to Ellerslie. They covered a mile and a half at a useful pace, the first mile taking lmin 47 2-ssec. Great Star drew- away from his companion over the last two furlongs and completed his task very satisfactorily. Grand Eeview has improved of late, but does not appeal as a likely Oaks winner. A Smart Gallop. On Saturday Silver King was responsible for one of the smartest sprinting tasks executed at Ricearton for some time. He was sent out alone to cover half a mile home on the outside of tho course proper, his rider, A. Eastwood, receiving instructions not to call on his mount for any special effort. The young gelding, however, covered the distance in 47 l-ssec, and did not seem to be doing his best at any stage of the task. Oamaru Meeting. Provided there-arc sufficient horses offering from Riccarton for the Oamaru Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting on April 9th, the Railway Department will provide a special horse train to return to Christchureh in the evening, thus obviating the necessity of staying over the week-end in Oamaru. Golden Wings Well. Woodville reports credit Golden Wings with being in good order for his engagements at the Wellington Autumn Meeting. He has acquitted himself very satisfactorily in recent sprinting tasks. A Great Record. The jockey with the best record in the Liverpool Grand National is the late T. Stevens, who, after riding in that race' fift.een times without a tumble, was killed by a fall from his hack when going from his home to a racecourse. The hoTse slipped and fell. Stevens won five Nationals, but the nearest any of his other mounts got was third. Five other riders scored .three wins. Thery were T. Oliver, A. Nightingall, Mr T. Pickerncll, Mr T. Beasley, and Mr J. Anthony. » Amnion Ra is Highly Strung. That Amnion Ka is still us highly strung as he was in the spring he showed at Caulfield. When he went out for the A.J.C. Derby he was in a lather. After the Futurity a writer in a Melbourne sporting weekly remarked:— "Those observant followers, of racing who believe in scrutinising the horses in the birdcage prior to betting will in future make an exception in the case of Amnion Ra. He was in a lather before he went out to do his preliminary i or the Futurity Stakes. Knowledgeable men shook their heads. One of the best judges in Australia, who has also had plenty of English experience, remarked: 'He probably ia a champion, but he has to be np end of a champion to go out like that and carry 151b over w.f.a. and win.'" Eaglet Retired. Several months ago Eaglet went amiss, but after a short spell an effort was made to get her to stand another preparation. However, this has proved unsuccessful, and as Eaglet appeared to be on the verge of a breakdown it was decided to put her out altogether. It can now be taken 'for granted that the turf has seen the last of this brilliant mare. ' Bred and raced by Mr F. Earl, K.C, Eaglet has proved a fine' her efforts paving yielded her owner the good total of £6775, practically all of which was won in her first three seasons,, her only success as a five-year-old being in; the Waikato Cup last November. Not for Trentham. l Owing to tho fact that Bronze Eagle is amiss, J. L. Gray has decided not to jgov to the Wellington Meeting, and I Heremia and Huntingdon, the latter of whom is an acceptor for the: Railway Handicap, will not be taken south. To Resume Work. Cylinder was a good two-year-old, and he promised to turn out a first-class three-year-old, hut after winning the New' Zealand Derby and the Stead Gold Cup, beating Nightmarch in the latter event, he seemed to go off. His next appearance was in the King's Plate at j Ellerslie, in which he ran unplaced, while he was second to Karapoti in the Great Northern Derby. Cylinder has not raced since, but his trainer, J. H. Jefferd, stated recently that he was as sound as a.bell and he would bring him in shortly with a view to preparing him for spring racing. If he can get Cylinder right, some good races are sure to go his way. Took Time. Right Bower, winner of the Maiden Plate at Dannevirke, has reached the age of five years before breaking the ice, but after an unsuccessful three-year-old season ho did not race at all last year. He is by Bisogrie from Rarama; a San Fran mare, bred at Te Mahaiu'n out >of Fairv Gold, by Gold Reef. He has plenty of pace, and should improve. The good price he paid on Wednesday caused general surprise, as he had shown a lot of pace at Woodville .and was up against weak opposition. Probably the majority were aware that for five days prior to tho Meeting he had a bad hock, which was under treatment, and in all that time did not get a single gallop. Apparently he does not need a great deal of training. Improving. The Colossus two-year-old Ythan showed at Dannevirke that he had gone on the right way. since he opened his ; career at Woodville last month. His | performance was a good one,; as he showed courage and determination as •well as speed. He is a good-actioned youngster, who appears to have a very bright future. He will, all going well, be a good three : ycar-old. Sydney Results.

moderate class of handicap horses at present racing in Sydney. He is now owned by Mrs C. Boyle, of Wellington, and ia trained by G. Price, who also has Carry On, the runner-up, while his apprentice, F. Egli, rode Chide into third place. My Talisman, winner of the Parramatta Mile, has been a useful performer for A. D. Webster since he purchased him last year. The third horse, Love Song, was formerly owned by Mr A. B. Williams, but was sold in Sydney in October last, and has yet to win for his new owuer. Ohinemuri Re-handicaps. Eehandicaps for the Ohinemuri Jockey Club's Meeting are as follows: —Novice Handicap: Dark Marble 8-10; Ohinemuri Cup: Paganelli 8-12; Komata Handicap: Welcome Boy 8-0. TROTTING NOTES. Reminders. Nominations tor th.- trottiug events on the Greymouth J.C.'s programme close to-day at 9 p.m. At 10 p.m., nominations close for the trotting events at Kumara. Acceptances for the trotting events at the Westport J.C.'s Meeting close at 9 p.m. to-day. Nominations close at 8.30 p.m. on Thursday for the trotting events on the Westland K.C.'s programme. Nominations for the Cheviot T.C. Meeting closo on Friday at 9 p.m. , Striking Performances. A performer who has come into much prominence as a result of his double victory at Timaru on Saturday is the five-year-old gelding, Gunfire, owned and trained by the Pleasant Point mentor, D. Tcaha'n. Gunfire first attracted attention at the Ashburon K.C.'s Autumn Meeting, where he won the Selma Trot Handicap at his first start. Until Saturday he had won only one race since then, but his most recent performances stamp him as a really good one. To win a mile and a half race in 3min 23sec and come out later in the day and win a mile and a quarter in 2min 4osec proves him a really good horse. A Quality Trotter. There is no doubt about the quality of First Wrack when she is produced at her best. She made the opposition at Tirrfaru look very moderate and it would be difficult to find a more perfect actioned trotter. It is unfortunate tha't she suffers ilj-effects from an early complaint which' prevents her from seeing out a two-mile journey at times, as she would quickly run into top class company were she minus this defect. t / Protest Dismissed. After the running of the Temuka Handicap at Timaru on Saturday, the owner of Merrijigs, who finished third, entered a protest against second prize being awarded to Great Burton on the grounds of galloping. After the evidence had been heard, the protest was dismissed. Four Winners. The Yaldhurst trainer, M. B. Edwards, had a field day on Saturday, four horses from his establishment being returned winners. While he was at Timaru winning with Cranleigh and Nimbus, S. A. Edwards was at the Soutli Wairarapa Meeting driving Silver de Oro and Historian to' victory. Bingen Blood. Black Jester, winner of tlie Trial Handicap at Timaru, shows promise of reaching much more select company than, that in w)iich lie is now racing. Ho is just a four-year-old and he had his first race on Saturday, but ho did not display any greenness. His breeding may be of interest. He is by Nelson Bingen from Vera Mauritius, by Mauritius from Miss Vera Capel, so li dan be seen that the gelding carries a double cross of Bingen close up in his podigrco, Nelson Bingen being by Bingen, also the sire of Mauritius. Jn the Lead. At the conclusion of the Timaru Meeting C. S. Donald and M. Holmes, with 20 wins each, head the winning reinsmen's list, whilo C. S Donald, with 27 and W. J. Tomklnsoh with 22, are foremost in the winning trainers' list. Rapid Progress. Crnnlcigh; the Timaru Cup winner, won his first race for the season when lie scored in that event on Saturday. The Summer Meeting held at Addington on February 6th marked the date of his reappearance and he ran quite a good race only to meet with trouble in the straight. Since then, he has raced at New' Brighton and a second placing at Wellington foreshadowed an early win, which eventuated on Saturday. Now that he is back to form he should be heard of further befor.; the season closes.

TRENTHAM GALLOPS. WORK ON THE TRACK. (MSE3S . ASSOCIATION TELSJRAM.) WELLINGTON, March vz. Visiting horses have not yet begun to arrive on the scene for the Wellington Meeting, and this morning's gallops at Trentham were confined to locally-trained horses. The plough was exclusively used and provided excellent going. While it was still dark, Normanuy ran six furlongs comfortably in lmin 22see, and Red Sun,did the last halfmile of seven furlongs in 51 2-ssec. Weatherstep was matched with Autopay over five furlongs, just shading him at the end of an attractive gauop 3-osec. Thev appeared to be carrying similar weights. Gold Sand, after a slow beginning, took lmin 6 1-osec for five furlongs, the last half-mile in 51 35-sec. Lady Rene did a similar tusk in lmin 5 4-osec, the last half-mile in 51 2-sscc. Miss Hastings and Cape Town were together throughout a comfortable seven furlongs in lmin 3G l-ssec. Might drew right away from Clangor at the end of five ftirlbngs in lmin 4 3-6 see. the last half-mile in 50 2-sse'c, but Clangor's showing was not right. Gnysong, after getting the worse ot ziie start, bent Sir I'ombal by a good length at the end of half a mile jn 50 l-ssec. _ Eminent did hotter than Lyrical over six furlongs in lmin 18 l-ssec. the last half-mile in 52 l-ssec. Over a similar distance, Royal Game beat Mullaboden by two lengths in lmin 19 2-5 sec, the last half-mile in 53 4-ssec. St. Roger worked pleasingly in beating Waratah by a neck over five turlongs in lmin 3 4-osec, the last halfmile in 50 4-osec. For the same distance, Marjoram recorded lmin 4see in defeating Arajos by a, length, his final half-mile taking 50 3-osec. Joie de Val and Foghorn finished together at the end of seven furlongs in lmin 32sec, the last half-mile in 53 3-ssec. Late Jest slipped over half a mile attractively in 49 4-osec. Cimabue. whose leg is not too sound, took 51 l-ss<3c for a similar task. Tobaccoland, who has returned from a month's working on the beach, did five furlongs, hard held, in lmin o l-ssec, the last half-mile in 52 3-ssee. He looks well, but may require a race or two. Sailing beat Colossical by a length over three furlongs in 36 4-Jssec. Cockpen was three-quarters of a length ahead of Traymela over half a mile in' 59 3-osec. The only visitor yet on hand is Earthquake, who worked lata.

The EosehiH Meeting on Saturday had much interest for aS T ew Zealanders. The Rawson Stakes was a triumph for Dominion-bred horses, who filled the three places. Amnion Ra appears to have had an easy task, and there seems to he no doubt about his brilliance over a middle distance. Nightmarch only arrived at Randwick on Tuesday, so his effort in filling second place and beating Veilmond would be considered quite satisfactory. He' has only had two races since re-entering the arena, and on each occasion has been beaten by a three-year-old. an" indication that he will have probably to meet further trouble from the younger horses in the shorter weight-f or-age races. Amnion Ra, at least, should hold him safe in Australia up to ten furlongs, but Nightinarch now looks like having an easy passago in the long distance events. The win of Panther in the principal "*ftdic*p_ would serve to emphasise tha

TIMARU T.C. CUP TO CRANLEIGH. GUNFIRE WINS TWICE. The Tnnaru Trotting Club held "its autumn fixture at the Washdyke racecourse on Saturday in ideal weather conditions. There was a good attendance, and from a racing pomt of view the programme provided could not have been bettered. Some excellent iiuishes were witnessed. The course was fast, with the result that several winners recorded times considerably faster than those on which they were handicapped, the biggest margin in this direction being 17sec, which Tanejtai clipped off when he won the opening event. Strangely enough the winners of the two main races, the Cup and the Washdyke Handicap did nob improve on their times. Cranleigh registered 4min 34 8-ssec, or 3-usec slower than his handicap mark, and Nimble Direct recorded 2min 47sec from a 2min 47see mark. A new starting barrier, a, local patent and of local manufacture, was in use for the li'ret time, and there were many favourable comments passed upon it. The chief features about it were that it worked perfectly, there being no hitches, and tlie club's starter, Mi" J. H. Tompkins, expressed himself as being more than satisfied with its operation. The principal race decided was the Timaru Cup Handicap, which was won by Mr S. A. Edwards' Cranleigh from Delightful and Major Lind. At the conclusion of the race, Mrs «T. Hole, wife of the president of the club, presented to Mr M. B. Edwards, who accepted on behalf of his brother, a handsome cabinet of cutlorv, which was attached to the stake of the raco. Betting throughout the day was Kteadv, but was not spirited, the biggest pool being that on the principal event, the amount being £1991. The fixture .jvns completed with a minimum of delay, duo to the efforts of the secretary, Mr H. H. Eraser, and his staff of willing and efficient assistants. The totalisator handled the sum of £9908 10s, as against £13,728 on tho corresponding dav last year, representing a decrease of £3819 10s. Comparing Saturday's ficures with • those of the January Meeting, an increase of ! £604 IDs was shown. The results are as follows : I KJNGSDOWN HANDICAP, lu h.'irnoiiS.

Tanepai All the Way. The favourite for the Kingsdown Handicap, Modern Girl, had gone only a few yards when she broke, and she took some time to settle down again. Tanepai immediately went to the front, and he continued to increase his lead until he had a fifteen lengths' advantage with three furlongs to go. Not being troubled at any stage, he won ridiculously easily by ten lengths. Honora Bingeu, who had been in second place most of the way, finished in that position, two lengths ahead of Gay Paree, who'trotted very fast over the final circuit, after being slowlv away. Merrijigs was fourth, giving a solid performance .ill the way, and the favourite was fifth. She ran into a handy position with six furlongs to go, and was third turning for home, but she was outstayed by Guy Parce arid Merrijigs in the run to the post. Tanepai thus annexed his first win, and bv the fashion in which lie scored he is capable of winning in much better company., Honora Bingcn trotted steadily throughout, and she stayed on better than sho has done" previously, while Gay Parcc's effort from 120 yds was of outstanding merit. Lady Headford and Garner made the best showings of the remainder. Won at His First Start. Midnight Sun, Wild Guy, and Essay were backed in that order for the Trial Handicap, in which the favourito was the only one of them to fill a place. Wild Gny had to be pulled up as the result of a smash in the first furlong, while Essay did not leave the mark. Sunbrown was in front coming to the stands tho first time, followed by Gold Spear, but the latter stumbled and fell, and Erin's Own fell ovei tho top of him, and Wild Guy had to be stopped, to avoid a fall. Midnight Sun had to swing wide also to avoid a collision. The leading division then comprised Sunbrown. Arion Axworthy, Black Jester, Midnight Sun, and Evening Sun for Arion Axworthy to be in front with a round to go, from Sunbrown, Black Jester, and Midnight Sun. Just before tho half-mile peg was reached, Black Jester shot to the front, and he was followed down the back straight by Sunbrown, Lord Lupin, Arion Axworthy, Midnight Sun, Evening Sun, and Auspicious. Black Jester was still in front at the straight entrance, closest to him being Lord' Lupin, Midnight Sun, Sunbrown, Arion Axworthy, and Auspicious. Black Jester maintained his lead j to score handily by two lengths from Lord Lupin, who was a similar distance in front of Midnight Sun, who had gone to a break when issuing a i-halli'iigc to Lord Lupiif. Ten lengths ■ further back came Tatsy de Oro, Aus.picious and Sunbrown in a bunch. This was the winner's first start in a race and for that reason his performance was all the more impressive. He is a very good-aetioned pacer and he has a very ! attractive appearance. In him, the Oamaru trainer, J. Henderson, appears to have the makings of a very useful horse. Lord Lupin ran his best race to date, but Midnight Sun did not finish ns well as might have be'en expected, as he was going strongly at the turn for home. Arion Axworthy disappointed. Auspicious lost a good deal of ground at the start and J. McLennan. the driver of Regina Derby, was quite unprepared when tho word was given to go. He had not taken his pjace in tho sulky. Erin's Own lay prostrate on the track after her fall, and the field had to go wide to avoid her just before starting upon the final circuit. ' Cranleigh's Cup. Black Lion was once again very solidly supported with the result that he was elected to favouritism for the Timaru Cup. Closest to him in the betting were Cranleigh and Anon.. The favourite showed more brilliancy than anything in the race, but he'tangled and ran wide with little less than a round to go, when running second, and a few vards further on he was the cause of a mishap* which cost him, as well su several others,"some ground, and upset Festival, Tarndale, and Royal Comrade. Jt appeared that with any ordinary luck he would have finished a good deal closer than fourth. The bracketed pair, Major Lind and Colonial Boy, were responsible for the pace over the first mile and a Cranleigh, Festival, Anon and Grand Canyon never being far away. Black Lion was in a rear position early,' but ho put in a fast" run along the straight. He was in second place with about five furlongs to go when he came over on to Festival, who fell, and in a flash Tarndale toppled over and Royal Comrade also came to grief. Anon lost ground as a result. Commencing upon the last half mile Colonial Boy was at the head of with' Major Lind and Cranleigh together, -.Delightful, Anon and Grand Canyon prominent of the others.. Anon appeared to be crowded at this stage and she could not improve her position. When fairly in line for the post Cranleigh shot out from a bunched field. The next to leave the bunch was Delightful, but although he made a good effort he failed to gather the leader by ~ length. Delightful beat Major Lind by a head for second money, two lengths away being Black Lion with Anon and Grand Canyo./ at the head of the others. Wellington form worked out well in ,-eeai'd to Cranleigh. who has shown steady improvement since he made his re-appcarance a few weeks ago at the \ddin<zton .Summer fixture. He ran second'to Milo Minto in the corresponding event last year, so made amends for that defeat by Saturday's victory. Delightful's effort was good and Major Lind surprised by his forward running, but Baron Bingen was never prominent. Back-Marker Wins. Claranda was a good favourite for the Seadown Handicap, Onoto and Special Sun being best supported of the others. The favourite had every chance but he was no match for Gunfire over the concluding stages. AVlien the field had settled down Needles was in front from Claranda, Tatsy de Oro. Flying Kate and Autowin who began very slowly. Claranda was in front going down the back the last time at which stage Tatsy de Oro, Needles, Autowin, Flying Kate, and Lord Lupin were following in that order, while the back-marker Gunfire became prominent. Improving his position he was in fifth place behind Claranda Tatsy de Oro, Autowin and Needles, when the field swung into line for home, lean Drusus was also coming fast. Claranda weakened in the straight and Cunfirc with a well sustained rim, got np to beat bin by. a length and returned

the best dividend of the day. Three lengths back came Jean Drusus, tnen Tatsy do Oro, Worthy King, Autowin, and Needles. Onoto refused to leave the mark and Worthy King and Jean Drusus lost ground at the start. Gunfire has improved greatly since he raced at New Brighton and he staved on much better in this race than he did at his previous outing. He looks like taking much higher honours. Jean Drusus ran a fine race and Tatsy de Oro gave her usual solid display. Autowin failed to stav as did Needles, and Special Sun was never dangerous. A Decisive Victory. At the start of the Temuka Handicap, Gainer was first to show out from First Wrack and Stanley Bingen, but named broke badly at the end of a furlong and Bonne Fille ran to the front turning out of the straight, but she broke and was soon a long way back. At the end of half a mile Merrijigs was in front from Great Burton, First Wrack, Great Harvester, and Hydro. This order was maintained throughout the next circuit and the only alteration was at the turn out of the back straight the last time, when Great Burton hit the front two and a half furlongs for home, only to break. When turned for home she was running second to Merrijigs with First Wrack close up, and Great Burton next. Below the distance First Wrack drew right away from the field and went on to score a very decisive victory by three lengths from . Great Burton, who beat Merrijigs by a length. Great Harvester was fourth, followed by Edith Voyage and Hydro. Tho favourite, Stanley Bingen, was never dangerous after his first break. Great Burton gave a mixed display of trotting and- galloping, but Merrijigs gave a sound exhibition after being in front most of the way. Great Harvester trotted really well, but Hydro broke three furlongs from the post. Kcal Boy did not go away, and Edith Voyage lost all chance she possessed by a bad beginning. A Close Finish. The Fairlie Handicap provided a stirring finish, necks separating the placed horses, after a close tussle all the way up the straight. Onoto refused to leave the mark and Lomar, the favourite, was a little slow in moving. Colorado led out from Lord Antrim; Flying Cloud, Aristotle, Nimbus, and Lomar, and they were in that order over the first circuit. Lomar took the lead before entering the straight the second time, and she showed the way to Colorado, Aristotle, Lord Antrim, Nimbus, and Flying Cloud. Half , a mile from home Lomar, Aristotle, Nimbus, and Colorado dreW away from the field and turning into the straight, Lomar held a slight advantage from Nimbus on the outside, and Aristotle, who were in line. Lomar was first to feel the strain and Nimbus, Colorado, and Aristotle set to in a desperate struggle for supremacy. Nimbus responded under , pressure "to score a narrow victory from Aristotle, who beat Colorado by a neck. Sister Kose, finishing strongly from the back, was fourth, followed by Lomar and Halswell Queen. The three j placed horses were all responsible for j great efforts and Sister Eose indicated that she is likely to win at two miles, a distance she has not previously favoured. Flying Cloud was done a long way from home and Lord Antrim stopped badly. This is the first win recorded by Nimbus since he was taken over by M. B. Edwards a few weeks ago, and a feature of his success was the display of marked gamencss which gave him victory. Aristotle gave promise of making a good two-miler, and Colorado was responsible for one of his best efforts to date. The winner clipped 11 3-5 seconds off his handicap time. The Favourite Fails. Backers of the favourite, Arachne, in the Washdyke Handicap did- not receive a run for their money as she would not settle down when the barriers were released, and she took practically no part in the race. Baron Bingen and Netta Oro were best fancied of tho remainder. Festival did not tio awav well, hut she ran to the front in the first half-mile to be trailed by Nimble Direct, with Wrackeen, Lily Bingen, Morning Sun, and Baron Bingen handy., The leading division was practically the same throughout, but Kollo was beginning to make his presence felt rounding the home turn, and he had five horses in front of him there. Festival compounded in the straight and Nimble Direct then asserted his superiority to have a length and a half to spare from tho fast finishing Baron Bingen at the post. Wrackeen was a length further away, a neck in front of Rollo. John Noble, Festival, and Morning Sun were next to finish. This is the first, victory secured by Nimble Direct since his arrival in the Dominion. The course evidently suits him and the only other place-money he has won on the trip was at the same Club's January Meeting. Baron Bingcn might have made the task' of the winner much more difficult had 4ie received a betterrun round tho final bend. It was not until the field was well into the straight that he received an opening and although he finished well hie chance came too late. Wrackeen was always prominent, but Lily Bingen failed to stay. Major Lind did not show his earlier form, but Kollo can be given credit for a very solid showing. Gunfire Repeats. Jean Drusus, Gunfire, and Princess Thea carried the bulk of the investments in the Wai-iti Handicap, and it was left to the second favourite to return the winning dividend. At the end of half a mile Needles held command from Royal Chenault, Automatic, and Wild Bingen, with Gunfire at the head of the others. Needles began to drift when the back straight was reached and she was headed by Automatic when leaving the straight. Automatic had, as his nearest attendants, at this stage Royal Chenault. Gunfire, Bokena, Jean Drusus, and Russell Pointer, and they filed into the home straight in that order. Automatic looked the winner a hundred anfl fifty -yards from the _ post, but Gunfire finished too strongly' for him and he went on to a neck victory. Rokena did best of the others to gain third money three lengths away, the next to finish being Russell Pointer, Jean Drusus, and Royal Chenault. Gunfire, despite his 24yds penalty for his earlier success, was not in the least affected by his previous run, and he staged a very strong finish. Jean Drusus, /the favourite, ' struck trouble at the start, being interfered with by Lady Antrim, who refused to go away properly. % Princess Thea and Onoto were others who did not begin well. PHAR LAP FIT. TRAINING AT AGUA CALIENTE. (united prbss association—Br electric TELEGBAPH—COPYRIGHT.) NEW YORK, March 11. At Agua Caliente on Friday Phar Lap galloped two miles, and then was put through a seven furlongs' work-Out against time, clipping each furlong off in 13sec.
