The outside' of .the oourse proper was again open- for the gallopsand, as-the previous day had been fine, the; going was much improved; ,A : large number or horses worked, but.the inaj'ority of them were restrioted to easy ciercise'. About the best gallop ;f the morning, was;.th'at..registored, by'lney (\V."Ryan),' who gave Magneto : and' Cohort;a couple.of lengths' break, and easily beat v them' over. five furlongs 'run jn a :shade better, ■ than :lmin. ; :9sec. ; .Sweet : Angelu'a (M'Comb) easily beat Iranui (Hatch) over six furlongs, run in lmin. ' 24sec. ;,' First '■ Mate (Oliver) again galloped-a mile, the last seven furlongs, taking lmin. ; 43scc. ' > Succession (Ryan) was going a little; better than -King P(wt. (Cairns) at the end of six furlongs, run in lmin. 2Ssec. .-Hilarian, (Cairns) did. a cirouit, at half-pabo. and then,sprinted, a!couple of furlongs down: tho back„ stretch. Diamond Star,;Muskerry, Pikopo,. Coronetted, Pohutu,, Contendent, : Dawn, Martyrium, Dreadless, First ;Consiili : Purakau, Truganini, Wimmera, and. a. few others -were allotted' useful' tasks without being sent against the watch.'..-.'. ': It-is safe to say that ; there has never been a bettor, lot of jumpers quartered at- .Trentham than those,there for the;coming meeting. Kairoma was the first of thein to appear-yes-tcrda'y. With F. D.'Jones in the saddle, he did two. rounds on the flat, moving: freely. Southern Cross (Hatch), galloped a mile in lmin. sisec., the last;seven furlongs, in lmin..4oseo. Ben Jonson (Sceats), Scotty (Deery),,and Bully, (Speakman) oantored round to.',tfie' bottom of the. straight, and then sot off together for a mile and a. half .'gallop.. Scotty, who finished olose-behind Ben Jonson, was'pulling hard: at the: finishi ;'< Bully 'was., a"' Couple of' lengths away< The last round was covered in 2min.' Slsec.'{Tauira (Telford) trotted to the six furlongs post, and galloped two miles on tho flat. The last seven furlongs took lmin! 46see. Exmoor(Telford) and Waitarore (Oliver)-did two miles together, Waitarere finishing half a furlong behind his companion. Polyanthus, .Gold Dust,.Corazon, Nadador, Te Aral, Forest,' and Commander did half-pace' work. North Head galloped a inilo and. three-quarters •■ over four hurdles, his' jumping' \ being ' very proficient Black Squall made no mistakes over four hurdles.; Irish (Coohranc); and Lo Bean (Pinker) were sent'together ft mile and -throe-quarters over four: hurdles.; Lo Benu appeared to'bo Soing the better at the last - jump, but Irish nisned ■ a neck in front in the run ■■ to the judges box Xavier (M'Connen) jumped'four hurdles by himself. He mado n sliiht mistake at the' last; Silken Rein (M'Connon) and Waihuku (Cress) were: companions over four hurdles, Waihuku showing to most advantage, i Yosami (Campbell) gave a mixed display-OTei the hurdles. Capitol (Debbie) jumped the hurdles and several fences of the course, and appeared to bo equally at home over both. Sir, Friaoo's absence, from the tracks- on Wednesday oaused baokers some uneasiness, but it appears that his trainer is well satisfied with his condition, and sent him out for exercise on the roads., Yesterday morning Sir Frisco did not work in the early, morning, but about midday ho was sent, over six furlongs in company with longner, whom; he beat. Oliver rode Sir Frisco and Ryan was up on Longner.; ;■• •;■.■■ > <■.
