YESTERDAY’S WORK-OUTS

Special to THE SUN CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday

Horses engaged at the New Brighton and Nelson meetings who worked pleasingly at Addington this morning were Muriel He Oro, Mac He Oro, Accumulator, Country King, Morrison ( and New Metford, while Vendome, The Shrew, Omaha, St. Maura, Somerby, Rolex, Bey Logan and Maiwhariti had useful tasks. The track was in good order. Vendome and The Shrew were together for a mile and a-half, done at a smart clip. Both pacers are in splendid order for J. J. Kennerley, and the effort of The Shrew this morning disclosed that she has benefited by her race in the Timaru Cup. Vendome has come on appreciably of late and her programme will be worth watching. Achray went a utile and a-half at medium pace, and the promising Belinda shaped well in a similar task. Country King and Bey Logan were responsible for a smart effort at a mile and a-half. Rey Logan pleased more, doing a lot better than his companion over the concluding stages of the work-out. A Lively Try-Out The tit-bit of the morning was provided when Accumulator, Omaha Muriel He Oro, Mac He Oro and St! Maura were assembled. All except St! Maura went away from the mile and a-quarter, Accumulator having a good fetal t from Mac He Oro and Omaha, with .Muriel He Oro bringing up the rear. St. Maura joined in at the stands. It was an interesting contest for a mile, but Muriel He Oro came through and held the others at the finish. Accumulator gave a sound display a. repetition of which would flatter his prospects in the two-mile trot at New Brighton on Saturday. Nothingabove a 2.17 rate was attempted, but the manner of the performances of Mac He Oro and Muriel He Oro was convincing. Brentlight, Somerby and Rolex went a smart mile. Brentlight was in front from the start, but had to give way to his companions, who finished up practically on terms. Somerby went particularly well after giving N. L. Price a lot of trouble through his bad breaking tendencies. New Metford was dispatched over 10 furlongs and mustered a torrent of speed. He was eased up over the last furlong, but a repetition of his effort this morning would augur well for his prospects in immediate engagements. Morrison and Willie Herby tramped a mile and a-quarter together at round about a 2.24 gait. Wilma Billon was restricted to easy pace work, and John Mauritius was let off with a light task. Admiral Bingen, looking very fit, was only jogged. Maiwharit.i’s task .was two miles. He went verv evenlv this -.morning. Others that got through useful tasks were Ola Pointer, Nelson Boy ami Great Abdallah. REMINDERS The "Waikato Trotting: Club, having? decided to hold its autumn carnival on April 5, Secretary T. S.
