Tho tracks are iu capital order, but the work was not attractive aud all was done on tho tuner grass track. Mermvai, Nadador aud Waipu wont two circuits at half aud throequartor speed. Ivanoff, Eveulode, Phaeton itis and Lull were put to useful work. Kaitero was also sent over the fences. Pitcher was not pleasing over eight hurdles, but Cniragno aud Le Beau gave creditable displays iu tho schooling task. Cuiraguo especially. Makuri aud Paritutu gave a very satisfactory performance over tho sticks. Idasa, Southern Cross, Top Rose aud Wild Cat all fenced capitally. making tho most attractive, display of tho season. Medium to light tasks were practically all that were accomplished by a large number of the horses.
