AWAPUNI TRIALS

THEIOLYN DOES BEST A probable candidate for Trontham next Saturday, Theiolyn was seen to advantage over seven furlongs. at Awa".puni yesterday morning. As the majoritv of the horses who raeed last Saturday did not return home, there was uot a great deal of intercstiiig work. The course proper, with the pegs out 80 feet, was available for gallopiiig, the going being in perfect order. Red Glare came home the last three furlongs of his work in 42see. 'He looks in splendid order to commence a pre paration for the juiuping season. The two-year-olds Emerge and Lady Oratory covered an easy three furlongs iu eveu time. Kanui te 1'ai and Bonlull were associated over five furlongs in 1.9 4-5. Despite his 12 years, the fonuer looks remarkably well and may still be a force to be reckoued with this winter.

After runuing the first four in 51 l-5sec., Theiolyn and Rink liiiislied together at tlie end of seven furlongs in 1.55. It was tlie best ell'ort of tlie niOTning, aud botli liiiislied very solidly. Theiolyn gives tlie impression of being a better horse now than formorly, and he may go to Trentham to coulest the Hutt Handicap 011 Saturday. Mesalliance pleased more than Gala Song over seven furlougs iu 1.41 1-5. Airpier was not ridilen out to record 1.9 1-5 for five furlongs. She appears to have made some headvvav since be ing takou in hand bv B. Burgess. Tremeilo, vvlio is holding his condition well, strode over five furlongs in 1.10 4-5. Financial, who raeed well below form iu the Autumn Handicap last Saturday, was let ofl" with an easy mile. He may not race again until the Manawatu meeting. Bay Robe sprinted half -a mile in 52sec. Gay Stitches and Spear Lighl took 55 4-5sec. Saludos was sent a mile, being speeded up only over the last three furlongs which took 38 4-5 see. The- Salmagundi gelding looks noue the worse for his race iu the Autumn Handicap and will return to Trentham 011 Friday to contest tlie Presideut 's Handicap in which he proiuises to give a good account of himself with 7.12. Tula and Gardane were well uiatched over seven furlongs in 1.36 3-5. The latter is boolced to race at Stratford next Saturday. The promising two-year-old Volthic was hard held to run five in 1.8. Arco and Coronara sprinted three furlougs in 39sec. Over a similar distance, "Man's Pride and the— Tlieio — Piuthair filly took 42 4-5sec. Persuade ' liiiislied clear oi" Broderie aud aaothen

— - at the couclusion of five furlongs run in 1.7 4-5. The former is au improving uovice. Cincture could have bottered her 41 l-5sec. for three furlougs. Havildar ; was timed -to coniplete the last seven j furlongs of a mile in 1.39 2-5. He is ■ to race at Stratford on Saturday. Glen j Urquliart proved too speedv for Pell- j meer over five furlongs in 1.8 3-5. Lady Spiral was allotted an easy seven furlongs, averaging losec. to the furlong. She appears to have lightened up a little after her hard raee in the Autumn Handicap, but is expected to be 011 iiand to contest the prineipal eveut at iTenthaiu next Saturday. Speed King (Reid) was schooled over four hurdles, giving a proiicient display. Utility (Waddell) vvent twice round over four fences, but she tired badly and rapped the last two very hard. ' x - Roto Parera (Andrews) gave a slovenly display over six hurdles. In company with a Christopher Robin three-year-old, foxiana (Tempertou) juniped four hurdles and a brush feuce. He gave his usual proficient display and appeared to p ull . 1 43 well.. Golden Tide (Andrews) made 110 mistakes while negotiating six hurdles. Ariiong those who have rejoined the active brigade are Sir Bradbury, Lord Bradburv aud Blaek Water. During the running of the Autumn Handicap at Trentham, Flying Ace was badly galloped 011 and the injury may keep him olf the scene for some time. Troubled by unsoundness lately, Phalaria went a poor race in the Rimu Highweight and his conuections have decided to put him aside for a lenythv spell, ' i
