SPORTING.
AUCKLAND TRAINING NOTES. Auckland, April 9. Good work was done on the racecourse this morning, about thirty horses undergoing their preparation. Foul play and Paramena did a fast two miles in the presence of their owner. The former is looking in grand fettle, and if fit on the day should take a lot of beating. Matau, who is first favorite at 2 to 1, only did walking exercise. Dan did about two miles with rugs on, moving very free. King Quail did slow work. Lonehand did about two miles stripped, moving well and looking grand. The rest of the work was unimportant, with the exception of Major George’s fill} 7 , Tenambra, which did one and a quarter miles in fine form, finishing in grand style.
