Others to traverse this course were Opaltown, who worked freely in 41; SternChaim. liis first since resuming training, in 42; Alondi (easily), in 40}; Aral, 41; Klneonda, 40. Poutatau established the best time tor half a mile in 511. He is In great order for Wellington. He leaves at the weekend accompanied by Casllda, Royal Pageant and Captain Star, providing the latter shows the necessary promise in Saturday's steeplechase. Kauri Queen also went a smart four in 51}. but was weakening in the last furlong. Other half-miles were: South Riding and Silver Rod (easily), 56}; Royal Dash and Flying Spy, 52}; Cardoness, 55, the last three in 39}; Peat and Hula Chief, both impressively, vli; Peter’s Girl and Yarow, 54; Klnzano, 54}; Gynetto, Laurium and Sunny Rosa, in that order, 55; Silvestro, Indian Gold and Ausas, 54; Grand Coulee, going better than Foxspear, 53}; Circular Note, 52}; Treasure Tee, going well, 52}; Singing Hills, 56.

The only seven-furlong gallop was that of Catterick Bridge, who held the upper hand of Lenardo in 1.36}, the first’half-mile in 52}, Greenfeast and Alienate recorded the best time over a mile in 1.48, the last half-mile in 531. They came home impressively. Ivar ran a mile in even time, pulling hard throughout. Boulder Dam was not very impressive when taking 1.55. Regal Night, after running 53 for the first half, completed a mile in 1.51, when he was half a furlong ahead of Fiddler’s Green, who in her last two gallops has gone very badly. Kinneff, who apparently has recovered from his recent lameness, was never off the bit when recording 1.43 for once round. There was not a great deal of schooling this morning Siglow, going better than on his last visit to Hastings, finished clear of Black Saint over a round of six hurdles. Black Saint did not jump well. Lindrum over three, and Pompit over live hurdles, made no errors. They later ran five furlongs in 70, with Pompit outclassing his mate. Oxyopia pleased in his school over a round of the country with Tigreterre. Both jumped soundly. Malacca, though jumping better than Captaiu Star over the four brushes on the course proper, did not give a finished display of steeplechasing.
