JUMPERS SCHOOL AT AWAPUNI

CONDITIONS RESTRICT FAST WORK Jumpers were active at Awapuni yesterday morning and i'nterest was increased witli the addition of several newcomers to tho ranks. Owing to the conditions, galloping was restricted and no outstanding trials were recorded. The course jiropcr, with the pegs out 30ft., was avaiiable for fast work, the going being very heavy after ovemight rain. Donegal Bay (Aitken) cleared out froiu Broderie (Eout) over the coiicluding stages of a niile and beat her by eight Jengths to register 1.59 2-5, the lirst three furlongs taking 45seo. , Donegal Bay is engaged in the Connolly Handicap at Wanganui and she gives the impression that a niiddle distance will not trouble her. Czarina (Aitken) hit out pleasingly over six furlongs in 1.26 2-5. The Oordnacli lilly lias benelited by her recent racing and should be in good order for Wanganui. Jumpiiig away froin the seven-furlong barrier, Bileas (Amey) and iSwift Jay (Bowness) liuished on terms in 1.38 3-5. Both were doing it well, and the time was not bettered duriug the morning. Eoto Parera (Andrews) had the measure of Man's Pride (Christensen) at the conclusion of a round, the last live furlongs occuiP'itig 1.16. After running the lirst four in 51 3-5sec., MesaJliance (Bain) coniplete.d seveii furlongs in 1.10 3-5. Looking improved with recent racing, Hakini (Broughton) strode leisurely over a jnile, the last seveu furlongs taking 1.19 2-5. Glen Urquhart (Christensen) did not impress while running live furlongs in 1.13. llavildar (Broughton) was not bustled to run seven furlongs in 1.10. Matawene (Ilarris) shaded Insulate (Bowness) at the end of three furlongs in -11 l-5sec. Mystar (Harris) beat a King Lu gelding (Ewan) in 12 2-5sec. JS'ewel Post (Christensen) was let olf with an easy lialf mile, the last three furlongs taking 10 l-5sec. Airpier (Bowness) reeled olf the last three of four furlongs in I2sec. Authoress (Baunders) worlied over a round, but was not required to do better than 15 to the furlong. She looks in good trim for her engagement in the Napier Uteeplechase on Saturday. Gold Money Song (Andrews) gave his usual proficiout display while schoolmg over six nurdles. In a siniilar task, Colden Tide (Andrews) was inclined to junip big, but she had little pace. Blanket (Fagan) was sent over six liurdles in the shute and cleared theni without mistake. His iatest form has not been in keeping with his traclcwork, but a course of schooling may mahe liiiu niore solid. Showing big improvement on past displays, Sovereign iaid (Andrews) jumped with niore dasli and conlidence than Eink (Andrews) in a schooling bout over six liurdles. Jasper ( Fagan) gave a promising showing while negotiating six hurdles in the shute. lie has only heen recently takou in hand by M. Griftiths, and is by Lang Bian 1'roiu Jacynth, the dam of Journet. Full Pitch (Fagan) cleared 12 sLeeplecluise fences safely, but his showing was not particularly . impressive. Allhough he rau about at the brush double, Peuwilt (Fagan)' was responsibie for a more -. accomplished snovving. lie is now a meniber of B. Nicol 's teani. Indiaji >Sign (Andrews) went once round over Ihe country and gave his usual proiicient display. A doubtful leg is likely to curtail this line 'chaser 's career. The stableniates, Eed Glare and Authoress, were schooled in eompany on Monday morning, the former being the more impressive and drawing attention to his prospects in the Grandstand yteeplechaso at Wanganui on ISaturday. * ltiding engagements aniiounced for Wanganui include: — M.
