TARANAKI MEETING

FINAL GALLOPING TRIALS

(Special, from "Harry Qn"h

NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day.

■'The New Plymouth tracks" were 'in.* splendid order for' the filial, trials for the Taranaki Meeting, when both ; the plough and the outside -of the course' ■proper were, in use. There was not a; great deal of fast work, few of the horses who had raced atv Wangahui; ibeirtg sent against the-watch. -^,-

: Tahurangi, who'looks" bright and well, was allotted two' rounds at -half pace. Though he has, accepted ;for two events his owner this morning, that he will most probably take his place in the field for the Cup tomorrow. , "■; ■'■ -''■ •'.•'"'■;■•'-;-, •■■■;■

. Refresher, who is comirig to hand quickly, did-a working gallop overa circuit, the last five furlongs, taking lmin 10;4-5sec. Lalla Quex pulled hard over a round at ;three-o.uarter pace. She looks fit arid well. . ■'.

. H. Dulieu's team, -.Ringside,.... Bay Sand, Ythari, Chief Marionette,-: Gold and Grateful,. were- let • off With pace work. Yesterday ■ morning on the plough Ringside and Gold Mission, occupied lmin ■ 5 3-ssec for-five furlongs, a^d ■ Chief Marionette, ■on her own, ran six in lmin 18sec; : , ; ■

Glenvarie, 'who appears none' the worse for his racing at Wangahuijhit out freely in his pace work.-

Merry "Way beat.'.: Vihco.'/' comfortably over fiye. furlongs on the out side of the course proper, running the distance in lmin 4Jsec." She cut the first two furlongs out in' 24sec. arid the three in 36sec. Despite her failures at Wanganui .this. mare, is in ■ great order at present. ' '

Courtega -pulled hard over a .couple of circuits .of .strong, pace : work on the plough. R. Johnson has this .mare very well at present. ' : : \

' Illuminate, with a good weight up, ran seven furlongs on the plough in lmin 39sec. He was going easiiy over the first part, but recorded 24sec for the last two furlongs. Aussie Ra and Davistock were associated over a couple of rounds -of good pace -work, the second.being run at a good threequarter pace. Both hit.out in pleasing fashion. ■ ■ '•'..

Joy, Box showed all her accustomed speed to run five furlongs oh the plough iri lmin 3|sec. It is. unfortunate that this .filly is wayward at the barrier, as she has: plenty of speed. Bonny Glow was a head in front of General Quex at the conclusion of a similar task on the same track. in lmin' 5 l-ssec. The two-year-old Bonny Glow, who will be 'having her 'first race, tomorrow, has ' shaped attractively lately. • •:■..•■...."'• .- ■•; ■'■■••■•'■ ••••"■•':■.■■

Lady Kyra beat Red Fox rather decisively over five furlongs on the: plough in lmin 3Jsec. The. filly :was always going comfortably and carried out her task in'a pleasing manner.. ... ;. .' ; •
