FINAL GALLOPS AT NEW PLYMOUTH

(By Telepranh.) (Special to "The Evening. Post.") NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. The New Plymouth' track was again in good order for the final try-outs this morning: The high wind that-has been blowing for the last few days had died down, and the track was: very, fast. Agaiu nearly all the fast-1 work took place on the plough. ■ Tea Queen and Malayan did halfpace work. Open Cheque (S. Wilson) took 51 3-ssee for half a mile. Impetuous and Missland took 51sec for the same distance,, both moving well. . Tenterden went half a mile, the last three furlongs taking<.'37£see.-' He looks improved by his recent racing. On the outside of the course proper,' Melissa went seven furlongs at a good three-quarter pace, and Miss Chatter took 41-Jsec for three furlongs. Solange went five furlongs, the last half-mile taking 52Jsec. ■ ' •, ' . Ceremony did strong pace work. He was anxious to go faster, and appears to be in great fettle. , !:■•■ t.-..,-. ■; Vertigern, Otairi, Llandudno, Consent all- did, three-quarter pace work, and did it well. ; , Chopin was going better than Merry Cry at the end of five furlongs ia Imin ssec on the outside of the course proper. This was a good, piece of work on the part-of both horses. • .., i Werata pulled very hard over five j furlongs, taking Imin lOsec. : The Cup candidates, White Pang and Eoyal Parade, went a mile; the first furlong was slow, taking 14sec, but then thopaco was on, and the half-mile was reached in 52sec and the full distance in Imin 46sec. White Fang vfas doing it bettor than his companion at the finish, and may prove a dangerous lightweight in tho Cup. Paganelli, who looks well, went half a mile on tho outside of tho course proper in 51isec, and did it nicely. So ■ far ho has tho fine record of three starts and three wins on the local course. " tfirst Acre went well over half a mile in 51sec. There is no doubt that ho is fit. Chief 'Savage took 36sec for three furlongs down tho back, but these are slightly down-hill, and very fast. Bayacre was going withln_ himself over five furlongs, run in Imin 4sec. Cornerman and Spring Song, on the trial grass, took 38sec for three furlongs. ■ ' Tho appearance of the crack two-year-old Aminon Ka created a lot of interest, but he was only cantered round on the outsido of tho track proper, and allowed to run down the straight at a little better than threequarter pace. However, he looks very fit and hit out freely. In the Shade did steady pace workEaglet did a similar, task,: but was allowed to. bowl along over the last half-mile in 54sec. ' Both these horses look in the pink of condition. .".. ": ,' , Arakira appeared anxious to. go faster when, doing pace work, and looks much improved;- ' . . Paiko went five furlongs, but was not' timed. ,' ." . '.'. '". Statuary was always going1' easily, over five furlongs in'lmin; Sjsec.:,'. Maiii, who arrived yesterday, did a round at three-quarter pace.* -;. "■' ; ; : Easter Time (Gray), on .the outside of the track proper*.slipped easily over three furlongs in 39Jscc. , . , ' Gold Pawn was going very easily to record 42sec for three furlongs on tho trial grass. Belle Star took Imin 18 l-ssec for six furlongs, going very evenly. Manly, with A. Jenkins up, was schooled over four fences. He made indifferent jumps at the first ah'd last, but cleared the two: afr'th'o". back in capital style. ' ',' ' '. "■■'■'■■:'..' . ; Kidgmount (Gray)' was under a strong pull over six furlongs covered in 'Imin 19sec. _ *; Orapai, who has been working at the beach since the Hawera meeting, did steady pace work. He is very unlikely to start on the first day. ' • Cronna Town was going very easily alongside Omeo .at \ the end of five furlongs, run in Imin 6 l-ssec. He is very fit and is moving better than ho has done before. ■ Lady Quex (H. Gray) was again responsible for .a great. trial when she dashed over five, furlongs on the. trial grass in Imin 2sec. She did the fiifst two in 25see and the three in' 37see. She appeared to have something in reserve at the finish. •'■ ■ ■' '; Hunting Cry. and The Hawk, who arrived last night, did steady work on the plough. The former is looking well and fit. So far no rider has been engaged for him.for .tie- Stakes, his usual pilot, E. Seed, being in Dunedin. Eoyal Finance dashed over half a mile on the trial grass in 50sec. Singer did solid pace work on the plough. . ■ ; . Tho riding engagements are:—H. Gray: Concentrate', Lady Quex, Chief Link, Eastertime, True Lap, Eoyal Finance, Crenna Town, L.
