Nystad ftnd Warnlano went s;x fui'loiißS fast', and finished together.. G.rPrice'was particularly pleased with the gallop of the Railway 'Handicap candidate. Simonides .alone went over a similar distance. He seemed to jjo very kindly, and'was not disposed to hang at all. Snsanof (11. Gray) and Taunalia (L. Morris) did a fast seven furlong. The first-named pj'eiiied to be going the better of-the pair at the finish. - The latter was very sore after racing, and is a doubtful starter at the meeting. GCoaniing - (Jfackie) went six furlongs 'at top s'pfSd. There seems to .be littlo wrong with the champion. Afterglow (B. Deeley) was given ha.fpace work. ■ Spanner (B. Deeley) . galloped seven furlongs alone, bnt thoush no n)oved frcelv and pulled liorcK his rider had him'o-i the bit the whole way. 80-Peep (H. Gray) and Active ran half a mile, finishing together. Old Gold was too good for Tigntiya nvM 1 live furlongs. ' . After breakfast Red Ribbon (Maek;e) and Star Lady (r<. Morris) ran n mile together. The'distance was encompassed in lmin. 43Jsec., and both finished well, but the chestnut mare lmd the advantage. However, as it was the first gallop that Star Ladv had had since the Hllerslie meeting, it can bo depended upon to improve her - ■ On the tan Battle Song defeated Bonnie Jlaid ,'ind l'aciiic Slope over a mile. Mascot easily beat Trrssida 'over a mile, and Pretty Bobby and First; Salute finished together iat the end of seven fui'loiigb. ' ' ... ... Torchlight went a.nule "by himself. His new owner, 51 r. H. Cotter,- takes possession of him after the meeting this week. ■ Seadown und'Munster separately were schooled over ..hurdles by IT. M'Rweeney. Melbourne files to hand state that the New Zealand' horseman, Stan Reid is engaged schooling HclUitio over hurdles at Catiifield, and the Lowry cast-off is jumping well. B?ltnne was successful in the Übioue Welter Handicap at Caullield tliis month. .Locally there is a lot of rivalry between t.lie supporters of both Sasanoi and Snanner for the Thompson Jlandicap. Tile horses named are declared, to have lioen unlnckv in the Easter Handicaps, and their admirers are looking to them to do considerably belter on Thursday. After seeing R'ebekah run second in 1 lie Easter Handicao at EUerslie one, wellknown judge of the game stnted that had Trainer J. M'Laughlin and her owner decided to take her to Ricearton, tb" Bezonian filly would have won tho C.J.C. fircat Easter Handicap. The opinion is freely lipid here that Snanner wiU be a much fitter horse at Treiitham than lie Was at Ellerslje. Prior to the Auckland gathering lus trainer was very easy 'oh the Australian-bred horse, and the racing lie had there will work i\ l)ig imnrovenient in him. •R Hunt, who was seriously injured while" schooling Lady Kilworth at- Dannevirke, and.was removed to the hospital, is mnking very slow progress and il. will be some considerable time betore he is seen in the saddle again.
