TRENTHAM TRACK WORK. TWO SCRATCIII.NGS ANNOUNCED. I’ci- I’icss Association. WKUT.TNGTOX, July 5. With a very heavy iog agan obscuring tile discs during most of the working hours, practically none of the galloping could be clocked at Trent ham Ibis morning. Only those horses starting from the longer marks , could be caught, the fog never lifting round about the half-mile and five furlongs marks. When the- sun broke through atiout 10 o’clock it was warm but lacked 1 drying power and the tracks will now be heavy and pasty for to-morrow. The first horses lo school were Trisox (W. Kitto) and Snowy Dawn (V. Unrigford), who went over live steeplechase fences but could not be seen as the visibility at the time was loss than a fullong. Unicr on, when it was clearer, Maninvatu (A. McDonald) and Hunting Go (T. Bovle) , both jumped the same flight fence for fence with Gay Box (V. Langford) trailing them some lengths behind. The only horse to go over the hurdles 1 was Sunder (L. Duliou) who carefully jumped two fences. I So little of tho work on the Hat was caught that it would servo no purpose to give what was noticeable. Among (hose who impressed were Polity, Southern ] Blood, Boomerang, Maori Song, and Val- < mint, but many wore missed. Nearly all j the horses engaged at the meeting were c on the tracks. Billy Boy, who pulled up sore yesterday. I will not be starting, nor will Biigiulore, 1 and Sporting Song is skn an i-n!.-nr,-
