There wae a white frost at Trenthtini on Saturday, and for a time a dense fog prevented the starting of training operations. A good crowd was present io see the work, which included a good deni of jumping. The No. 1 grass and sand tracks wero open, and the going was splendid. If the present weather holds the^t racks will be in perfect condition for M edneaday’s racing. Royal Exchange, who looks well, had to bo kicked out io hold off the two-year-old Lord Martian at the end of five furlongs on tho grass. Militaire. next galloped six furlongs hr himself and moved resolutely. Rose Pink revelled in the soft going, and had Trentham Rose beaten off at the end of six furlongs. Spook and Bonnie Maid were associated over a mile. The former cleared out from his companion, and got to the end of the journey in Imin. 50sec., a useful gallop. Callaahan, who bears signs of having knocked himself behind, was associated with Forest Gold and Ilymestra over six furlongs. The two first-mentioned finished many lengths in front of H'ymestra. the time being Imin. 21sec. Callaghan does not gallop well on soft tracks, nnd Forest Gold was not allowed to do his best. Halifax and Battle Song were given trotting and cantering. They are not engaged at the meeting. Great Effort, whose owner was present, and Siberian went five furlongs, and were joined by Hellenois, tho half-sister io Astinome. over the last two furlongs.

Fortune Teller, who looks very fit, spurted down the straight, and was then trotted On 'he sand. Jingleform alone ran five furlongs, and finished well. Opiate was given trotting exercises on the sand. He has not been doing well of late, and his trainer is not asking too much of him. Deucalion, galloped half a, mile down the back. Hyttus, with his trainer in the saddle, was given a couple of slow rounds on the sand. Manchester, the full-brother to Kyoto, and the Merrie Gain filly, ran down ths straight.

Tho Trial Plate candidate Munns was spurted down the back. Printemps and Auckland galloped five furlongs in Imin. 7 l-ssec. Some Fashion strode out freely over a counle of circuits on the sand.

The first-named is not engaged at the meeting, but Arch Salute will race in the Parliamentary Handicap and Winter Oats Handicap. Amongst the jumpers seen out were Simon and Gladful, who gave a good exhibition over hurdles, and afterwards galloped seven furlongs on. the grass. Hallow and Alteration schooled over hurdles, and shaped well, as did Sweet Tipperary, who gave a faultless exhibition. and seems a greatly improved mare since joining A. Goodman’s team. Oakleigh and Malincourt jumped the big fences on tho course proper, and John Bunny, Luperino, and Pokekane gave a good showing, but the latter ran off at the last two fences.
