TRAINING AT TRENTHAM,

Dull and showery weather conditions prevailed yesterday morning, when training operations commenced at Trentham. Among the horses present wcro the majority of .tho candidates engaged in tho . Thompson Handicap and tbo Railway Handicap, to bo run at tho Wellington Racing Club's Autumn Meeting'to-morrow. Practically all tho work was dono on tho trial grass gallop inside the rails. Tho going was in good order, but tli6 turf was inclined to cut up towards tho close of the.morning. Expcct and Pariform were to have galloped five furlongs together, , .but Pariform bolted with the boy, and had a ten lengths'break when the startingpost was reached. He was steadiod in the straight, but Expect failed to reach liim. The time • taken by Expect in covering tho distance was Imin! 7jsec. Emperador, in company with Cherubini, covered a round at a good threequarter pace, tho last seven furlongs being travorsed in.lmin. 35sec.

Merry. Roo and Bleriot. were companions in a gallop over a milo, traversed in lmiii. 48sec., Merry Hoe showing to most advantage. Red Book cantered to tho thtee-fur-long post, and then galloped homo in 89 j sec.

Ladoga gave Martian Princess a start over five furlongs, and just failed to catch her. The Sir Laddo gelding's time was lmin. 4 l-ssec., and his effort was distinctly pleasing. Valhalla, in company with Historiette, galloped from the two-furlong post to tho six-furlong post—a distanco of four furlongs. Valhalla covered a lot moro ground than his companion, who pulled up very lame. Tho filly will havo to forgo 'her local engagements. Gipsy Belle galloped six furlongs with Pavlova, tho time being lmin.. 20sec. Pavlova shaped moro attractively than tho Thompson Handicap candidate. Ineuru and Byron, the former on the outside, finished together at tho end of six furlongs run in lmin. 19 2-osec. Beldamo was restricted to three-quar-ter pace work. Haskayne and Silver Shiold gaveHyettus a good break over six'furlongs, and both finished abreast of the two-year-old. The distanco was covered in lmin. 20sec. , Fair Rosamond alone went very well

over half a mile, which was left behind in 50 2-ssec. Immcr jumped off at the seven-fur-long post and was brought home by a oompanion over tlio last naif-mile. The Martian maro registered an attractive performance, covering tho. distance c<Snitortably in lmiu. 33Jscc. Royal Arms was allowed to stride along for a circuit at three-quarter pace. Salzburjg was much' too good for Mowbray over sis furlongs, run in lmin. 19sec. Sveaborg and Bronzo covered a similar distance in similar time. Of tho Railway Handicap candidates not mentioned above, Ermengarde, by herself, ran fivo furlongs in lmin. 'isec. —ono of the best gallops of tho morn-! ing; Crown Pearl hit out freely over 6ix furlongs, which occupied lmin. -20sec.; Bertrada was given three-quarter pace work; Altcar revelled in the soft going; Aratiatia was alongside Gold Stream at tho end of half a mile, covered in 52sec.; Mount Victoria was much too good for Haumakaka over four furlongs, traversed iii 50 3-ssec.

Bolasco and George got to tho end of sis furlongs in lmin. 22sec. Sir Knox ran right away from Kakawai (Bezonian —Platypus) and finished a five-furlong gallop in lmin. Bscc. Intelligible beat Kaminolie over four furlongs, run in 52sec.

Downham finished better than Ringform over half a mile, which was completed in olseo.

Tete-a-tete was allotted half-pace work and Marshal Macdonald did trotting exercise. ' . •

■ Rerahau defeated Arlington in a fivefurlong gallop, covering tho distance in lmin. 7scc. •

Reno showed to more advantage than Grandee, whilo galloping fivo furlongs in lmin. 7sec.

St. Curio was schooled over the steeplechase fences, and after a fall at the second obstacle was, remounted and gave a good display. •

Renowned May and Exotio were also B'chooled over the fences, 'while several other .jumpors did useful work on' the flat. , "The Varco —Adria colt, purchased in Sydney by Mr. Duimett for 380gna., was, it appears, for Mr. T. H. Lowry, or Hawko's Bay. The youngster is expected to arrive in Wellington to-day. He is a first foal, his dam being a 6ister to King Log and other winners. Adria will be remembered as a mare tliat carried big weights to victory in many races on tio West Coast. In this island she won tho Foxton Cup.

•In connection with tho _ Wanganui Jockey Club's Winter Meeting, to be held on May 21 and 23, owners are reminded that nominations close on Friday next. Tho programme for the meeting is a very attractive ono, prize money being on a liberal scale.

■H. Cutts did not, as generally anticipated, arrive from Riccarton by yesterday's southern' steamer. It is now stated that Sir Geo. Clifford's horses will, arrive at Trentham to-day.

M. Hobbs arrived from the south yesterday morning with Rinaldo, Honesty; Chamilla, and' Angelina. Other arrivals wero R. o'Donnell with Sauei and R. Longley with tho two-year-old Bee.

Ono of the outstanding features of the Australian' Jockey Club's Autumn' Meeting at Randwiok ' was the victory of Imshi in the Sires' Produce Stakes. Tho colt only gained his, victory alter putting in a phenomenal run in tho straight, and ho is now rogardod as a possiblo Derby -ft'inner. ' He is by Persian Knight (three-quarter • brother'; .to : ' Charlemagne II). and bolongs to tho same family as tho C.J.C. Oaksr winner, Bonny : [Helen. Discussintf'-tl^ra"c'd''fot' ; -Produce Stakes,-the. 'Sydney • 1 writer;'?Bilot," says :—"Tho' result; was parti; : cularly pleasing to Imshi's breeder,' Mir. •E; O. 'jilKiniSho only gave SOgn's." for the colt's dam,'. Cramari. Tfhcn Mr. Alien bought that mare she had missed four seasons in succession, but tho change from one stud to another must have agreed Witli heT, as sho has foaled regulanjr for the past fivo years. At present sho is suckling a full-brother to Imshi. Persian Knight's stud opportunities liavo riot been great, but as Mr.' Allen tells'that of. his 33 foals which havo raced, 23 aro winners, his record is ah excellent one, and now that ho has sired a really first-class colt he may receive greater attention in future."

Tho brood., mare Gypsobel, who was sold in Sydney during the week for 30 guineas, is, a half-sister to Gipsy Bello and Bolasco.

. Thrco lilliea are to arrive from the south to-morrow to enter the Porirua stable.. One is a\Downshire—Happy Valley filly, owned uy Mr. Henry Gaisford, of Oringi, and another is a halfsister (by Vasco) to Pavlova, owned by "Mr. Marton." The third is a youngster by Martian —Savannah, the property of Mr. Acland, of Christchurch.

Mr. J. Sullivan, of Woodville, has purchased the racehorse Kuropotangi from Mr. G. Keenan, reports the "Examiner."

. Lanyard has been lame at intervals for some time past, and he will be unable to fulfil any engagement ■at .Trentham. Yesterday morning ho was given a strong working gallop with Silver' Monarch, but was unable to hold his own, and ho was limping after it was over. Tlio trouble seems to be in the hip.

Ventura is to be sent to Sydney on Friday. On account of her victories in the Great Easter Handicap at Riccarton and the Easter Handicap at Auckland, the Traquair mare would no doubt have had big weights to carry in handicaps in. tho Dominion in the near future, and her owner no doubt took this into consideration in deciding to have her shipped to the other side.

' Tho rumour that C. Emerson would go to England to ride for R. Wootton's stable appears to be without foundation. At "jhe present time Emerson has no intention! of going to England.

Besides the Varco—Adria. youngster, it is probable that several other yearlings purchased by New Zealand owners at the recent Sydney sales will arrive in Wellington by to-day's steamer.

The. Charlemagne ll—Arai to TJm filly, which recently camo from the South Island to enter J. Ayers's stablo at Tre.ntham,. is a liandsomo youngster, but her good looks are 'somewhat marred through her'having only one car. After the second day's racing at the Australian Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting, Radnor's record was 10 wins, 5 seconds, 4 thirds, and twico unplaced for 21 starts, the prize-money Credited him totalling £11,185 155., as against £11,920 won by Beragoon. Iu Mr. Alackay's colours .Radnor won soven times out of eight starts, and earned £6343 in stakes. Pedigree readers may be interested to know that tho Liverpool Grand National wimior, Sunlock, who goes back to Appolonia 8, is one of tho very few horses alive with male descent, from Orlando. His sire, Sundorne, was by Colorado 16, by Georgo Frederick 13, by Marsyas 12, bv Orlando 13. Colorado was a son of tho famous P>crcy 16, by Atherstone 13 (son of Touchstone 14) — Fair Agnes ; by Voltigeur 2 —Little Agnes. Bred in Ireland, Sundorne was out of Lady Louger '2, by Kilwarliu 9—Spoleta, by Hermit s—Villanfranci, who descended from Eleotresa, ancestress of Gang Forward, St. Albans, etc. Tho Otaki Maori Racing Club is at present carrying out great improvements on their course (says our Otaki correspondent). The steeplechase track is nearing completion, and a cloakroom, etc., havo been crect-ed, and improvements carricd out to the jockeys' room and publican's booth. All the improvements aro of a. substantial nature, and should be appreciated by pat-1 rous at tho comiuc meeting. J
