DUNEDIN TRAINING NOTES. [By Telegraph.] [from THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE PRESS.] Dunedin, February 20. “ Pegasus,” in to-night’s “Star,” reports : At the Forbury this morning there was a large assemblage of spectators, and the weather being veay fine all tho horses were out. Mason and Goodman had Oberon and Chancellor on I he Beach at an early hour, and sent them about Cup distance with, it is said, their weights up. The result was, as I understand, that Chancellor had considerably the best of it. Webb gave Trump Card and Bribery two rounds outside the hurdles, and Ted Cutts followed suit with Ariel and Longlands. All four look sound and well, and none the worse for their trip from Christchurch. Ray gave Templeton a heavy sweat, sending him three times round on tho outside of the course, and accompanying him on Shillelagh. Titania, stripped, joined her stable companion at the buck of the course, and finished the last mile and a half with him. Pungawerewere did only walking exercise. Callaghan tried for half an hour or more to get Starlight to face the hurdles, but without success. Of Dan O’Brien’s string, Luna and Xantippo did a serviceable two miles. The chesnut filly, however, soon left her mate behind. Eclipse had a cantor on the tan. French put a boy upon Hippocampus and sent him three times round in clothing, Wattio joining him with Cloth of Gold at a mile and a half, and coming home with him. Swede and the Virginia colt went about two miles together stripped, at a good pace. Kildare worked on the tan, but Little Dan and Warwick went three or four times round the tan, and over the hurdles. Little Dan jumps very high, and Warwick, though but a novice at this work, cleared the jumps in very good style. The morning’s work was wound up by Unknown going twice round fast, with Amulet as a companion for part of the distance.
