WANGANUI GALLOPS

THIS MORNING’S TRY-OUTS INTERESTING SCHOOLING (Sijecial to THE SUN.) WANGANUI, Tuesday. The weather conditions this morning were perfect for training purposes. After heavy rain last night the track was in great order, and a couple of fast gallops were recorded. Civility with a light boy up, jumped off at the half-mile and ran the first furlong in 12 2-ssec., the quarter in 24 2-ssec., and came home in great style in 48 2-ssec —another brilliant gallop. F. Lind has the Elysian mare in capital order for the Connolly Handicap, in which she will be ridden by Bert Morris. Alio way (Watts), Ngata (Bert Morris) and Rowley (Wiggins) ran six furlongs in 1.19 2-5, running the first quarter in 24 3-5, three in 38, and halfmile in 51, with Alloway doing the best, though Ngata was not being pushed. Royal Elm and Break o’ Day ran the last four of six furlongs in 50 2-5. The former appears a trifle sore. Rising Star (Wiggins) covered four furlongs in 50 4-ssec., going well. Berinthia and Mount Marta ran six furlongs pleasingly in 1.18 4-5, the first quarter in 26 l-ssec. and the half in 52 l-ssec. The former was a little in front at the finish. OVER THE COUNTRY Banjuke and Hallowmorn (McSweeney) went two miles over the steeplechase course, the latter pleasing most. v Whetuhine went better than Tamakana in once round over the hurdles. Tamakana, piloted by Thomson, appears to be touched #n the wind. Zircon (Coleman) and Day Bell put up a good display over the hurdles, the former app ling most. Brigadier Bill showed too much pace for Ardath and a companion in two rounds over the battens. Ardath struck the last obstacle heavily. One of the best exhibitions over hurdles was given by Attractive and Ruby Red, who did a round in 1.33 2-5, the latter fencing attractively. OMAHU PLEASES Omahu gave a splendid display over country in company with Tuki, who looks well. Maunga, Little River and Comical set off for two circuits of country, but the latter hit the brush hard aiid was eased up and then completed the journey, but failed to negotiate the brush cleanly. Maunga fenced well, but had no pace on the flat. Little River appealed most. Birkenella and Bonny Rill set off for two rounds of country, the former fencing best. Lady Spalpeen gave a good display over the steeplechase course in company with Peter Rosa. Gold Jinks (McGuire) and Crown Coin (Thomson) jumped the country, the former clearing the obstacles well, but Crown Coin had to b . ridden hard at each fence. He got over safely. Labour Morn showed promise in a circuit of country alone.

Matinee, displaying unruliness, went once round at good three-quarter pace and was warmed up over the finish.

A large number of others worked More visiting horses arrive to-night.
