BIT BETTER

1 Class Is Good In | Penrose 1 (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland : Rep.) 1 The hack hurdlers engaged m the Penrose on Saturday include a shade better lot than is usually associated with that class of event at Ellerslie. > MOTABLE ones are Peneus, Mt. Marta ; *' and Kilburn — all winners from the south. I Of the northerners, two hopefuls from Cambridge — Bourn and Prince Lu — will claim attention. l It is m Bourn's favor that he brought : about the defeat of Beau Cavalier at i Te Rapa over a similar distance. Llewellyn may' not be ready, while the big hurdles at Ellerslie will possibly trouble Wenday. Potoanui and Lady Spalpeen have form enough to suggest themselves as possibilities, while Scot Free has been going better than ever m his work. Of the real maiden section, Archeno, Marble Mount and. Quincoma all give promise. Kawini is an acceptor, but he can hardly be thoroughly right. Peneus will not be troubled for pace m the class, but the thick going may tie him up. ' As for Mt. Marta he still showed lameness after working. He fell on Tuesday and suffered injuries calling for his destruction. Star of the East has had experience, and may be a light-weight, possibility. Three with hopes of being m at the finish are: BOURN, * ARCH ENO and 3 POTOANUI.
