Heavy rain had fallen the previous iiiglit, and the morning was dilll ami inclined to be cold. A largo number of hoi-sen ivbro on the tracks, but though ono or two excellent gallops were recorded, the major portion of tho work consisted of half-pace miles and short sprints. The outer , grass gallop was open, the going being a trifle sticky. Cutts's team commenced at half-past six. Stratagem, Husbandman, and Gloiiculloch were iiot sent along at fiill speed, but Flitawaj was spurted over half a mile, which she negotiated comfortably in 53 4-ssec. , Tho St. Leger candidate All Red (L.

Dawn is a sure starter, rill going-well, and will be ridden by L.

L Seaman (Geo., Price) was galloped once round. Tho Sylvia Park gelding was pulling hard all the way.

WELLINGTON RACINC CLUB'S AUTUMN MEETING. The autumn meeting of the Wellington Racing Club will commence at Trcntham today. At the timo of writing there is prospect of fine weather, and as the racecourse grounds are looking at their best, and the track is in good order, tho 'afternoon's sport should be enjoyable. The, railway service to and from tho course is an' improvement on that which obtained at previous meetings, and it is anticipated that the. number of trains on this occasion will successfully cope with, the traffic. The first , train leaves To Ai'o at 10.25, and from the Thorhdoil station there will be trains at regular intervals after 10.48 a.m. Tim racing comtnences at. 12.15 f> f im The principal event, the Thompsoh Handicap, will be started about 2.25' p.m. A good field promises to go to tho post for this event, aiid judging by the creditable track work of sfeveriil of the candidates a keen struggle should result. Of tho. 14 acceptors it is probable that 12 will go to '.the post.. . The attention of the public is directed t6 the in tho Correct Card regarding betting with the bookmakers arid on the Totdlisator. • HABTINCB TRAINING MOTES. '. (BY TEI.EORAPH.—HItSS ASSOCIATION.) Hastings, April 28. Trainers were busy this morning on the courso preparing for the autumn meeting. Heavy rain during the night made the going slow, hence the times recorded are misleading. Interesting work was done over the hurdles, steeplechase country, and on the flat, but only the . plough' gallop . was available. Mystification, accompanied by Chicane, and picked Up later by Sky Highj, - ran a mile and a quarter, and finished several lengths ahead of the latter. The Cup horse - did a ino6t satisfactory gallop. Lamsdorlf jumped a few. lengths ahead of Eri King from tho six fiirloßgs, but. they wer6 together when finishing. AVaipii aiid Seatoli Dalo iverd together after a short flutter. Reminiscence was going, bettor at tho end of a sprint tiiaft the Renown—Girofla filly.; Sir Benson .beat Comedian easily over five fur- ; Icings. King, Billy wont seveii furlongs alone in attractive stylo, ■ Commander finished well after a oiiCe-round gallop.; lie had a featherweight ilp. My Darling finished in front of San Jose after a half-milo sprint; Aborigine was. out for 'the first time since the Auckland meeting. Tarina was too good,for Bobrikoff over five furlongs. Goldfield, Nadadt>r, King's Lynn, Eerciigaria, Saiidstream, Robin Link, Maid of Astolat, Esparto, Cauldron, Aliei, Turquot, Papatii, arid Cafrow were given easier tasks. Kaipetipeti and Faro gaVo a fine two rounds over country exhibition,' aiid Makii and Matahuna went one. rolind over hurdles , erected low for Maku's beilefifc—he appears a bettfer jumper. Black Ro.triiird, Whakawchi, and Full Cry all jumped . well; tlip liist-ii&med is distinctly musical in his respiratory organs; A CORRECTION. • , (By YEKEGRAI'II—riir,SS ASSOCIATION.)
