Tho course proper, with the flags about 12 feet out from the fence, was available for fast work and the programme was fairly interesting. W. Pine left for Hawera at a fairly oarly hour and his horses were not on the tracks. He has taken four horses through to the Egmont meeting, his team eonsisting of Dungarvan, Symcony, Dawning Light and Cloudy Bay. Len Pine will ride Dungarvan in the cup. The riders for Symcony will be J . Leach, while S. Wilson will pilot Dawn"ing Light. L. Knapp will have three horses at the Egmont meeting.. They are Forest Glow, Benedictine and Wild Flower who did not Teturn to Awapuni after the Taranaki meeting. W. J. Broughton will he xiding at Hawera and his mounts include Bantry and Taitoru. W. J. McDowell will pilot Bazaine on Ihe first day of the Egmont meeting and Forest Glow on the second... One of the first to work on the course pToper at Awapuni yesterday morning was Round Scora (W. J. Broughton), ... who was speeded up over a mile and a quarter. He began very smoothly, being allowed to strike his gait. The first three furlongs were put behind in even time but the pace was- being gradually Lncreased and Round Score went on to complete in 2.16 3-5. He finished very solidly after taking 1.31 3-5 for the concluding seven. It was a pice work put. Ingenuity (J. Chaplin) and Waitohu (D. Mansfield) were companions over a mile and with Waitohu setting a merry pace they were clocked to break 40 for the first three furlongs. Waitohu had ,been a couple of lengths _ clear but 'Ingenuity was on terms at the three !and they finished together with Ingenuity. galloping very -easily at the plose. They were timed to run the last iseven furlongs in 1.34 1-5. • ; Severe (Broughton) was responsible for a very nice effort over five furlongs. She was not hurried at any s]tage but, swiiiging along very smoothly, she completed in 1.4. It was good time but the feature of the gallqp was the nice way • ifi --^hich the fiUy did her work. ..

Flammarion (N. Voitre) looks a, picture of health. He . was sprintedj half a mile, the last three taking himj 39 l-5secs. He was anxious to go faster: and Yoitre had his work cut out to pre-, vent hl™ getting his head. Since his' arrival at Awapuni' Flammarion has: been given only a couple of short! sprintS.

They were given a round at half pace and then sprinted five furlongs, taking 1.7 2-5. Manawatu's half hrother, by Lackham, was speeded up over six furlongs, moving very well to cut the last fivu out in 1.6 $. Aurora 's Love (L. A.
