Stowe) was givea a working gallop over five furlongs to finish strongly. Padie (C. Cameron; took 66 secs. for five, but he, too, wa^ not fully extended. • * m Kalika (B. Stowe), who is definilelv on the improve, had slightly the better of Felicitation (C. Go]d?bro) over lialf a mile in 505. • * • Marsyas (C.

Tiger Gain (C. Shields) and Anibus (C. Goldsbro') were not showing their best in taking 66 J for five. The latter is the gelding previously alluded to as Ambusian, but he is not now making the trip to Woodville. # * # Contact (J. Forsyth) and Royal Banquet (P. Atkins), for hurdlers, did very well to run three-quarters of a mile in 1.18i and both appear to be in forward nick to commence the jumping season. • # * Big Dook (I. Eerr), a Hawke's Bay Cup candidate, pleased by sprinting six furlongs in l,16i. W. D. Turnbull has last year 's cup winnen back to Ijis very best„ form. « # - • There was little or notning to choose between Moua Lisa (H. Murray) and Eoyal Bengal (J. Forsyth) at the end of four in 52. • # # *• By running seven furlongs on the grass in 1.33 Iddo (W. Hepburn) pleased. He was aceompanied by his stable-inate Parry (B. Stowe).

Atkins) over once round in 1.39J, the same time as he registered *on Saturday morning. This gelding will be starting in the ten•furlong event on Friday at Woodville and will be expected to make a bold bid. ♦ • • Cotsfield (J. Walsh) was the only horse sehooled and in his round over the hurdles made no errors. Soho (P. Atkins), doing it well within himself and not undnly bustled, registered 1.42 for once round.
