ADDINGTON CANDIDATES

n/^ en list of acceptances was ieto«T u?t eY, enm S for the Wellingn H Tr^ cl«b's February Meeting at Hutt Park on Saturday, and an interesting day's racing should be pro- ? l Or the Wellington pubUc. As usual the majority of the runners hail from, the south, and several of these were worked on the Addington track yesterday morning. The trials were done about two sulky wheels oiit, the; portion inside having been ploughed

Ruth Logan was wide out while running over a mile and a half in 3min ii 2-ssec. She worked freely. Pi-ince de Oro's non-acceptance -is explained by the fact that he failed badly to give a maiden pacer three seconds' start from the mile and a quarter, going 2min 50sec and tiring. Bracken went two miles in 4min 40 sec. After going the first half-mile in lmin lOsec, she was joined by Edgar Wallace and they ran the last mile in 2min. 19sec, finishing together. Native Son recorded 2min 15 2-ssec for a mile of his task.

Levity joined Bingen Palm after the latter had strolled over half a mile in lmin 17sec, and the pair did the mile and a half in 3min 31 2-ssec; The last' mile, took 2min 18 2-ssec and the last half-mile lmin'6 2-ssec, with- both horses always going nicely.

The trotter Flotsam went a quarter of a mile in 34 l-ssec,: and was. then joined by Resound, who,, however, broke at the end. of two furlongs,: and Flotsam went on alone1 to complete a mile and a half in 3min 26£ sec, the last mile in 2min 17£ sec. Otama Chimes, Finnebrogue,' Racketeer, and Grace McElwyn went away in'that order from the mile and a half post, and they were joined after going four furlongs by Blandford (saddle). Racketeer and Grace McElwyh did the best, the former going 3min 29' l-ssec and Grace McElwyn. slightly faster. Grace McElwyn is the only one of these horses making thetrip'to Hutt Park.

Agile, Pronto Bingen, and Somerby went away.from the mile.and a half post in that order, with the last-named giving Agile three seconds start. Agile ran the first half-mile in lmin Bsec, the mile in 2min 16 '4-ssec, and held his own in the run • home to record 3min 20 l-ssec, the last half-mile in lmin 3 2-ssec- He did his work well. Pronto Bingen went 3min 19^4-Ssec and Somerby 3min 18 4-ssec. However, Agile was not extended and was the most impressive. ________
