WANGANUI FINALS

CASHIER’S PROSPECTS LAUGHING PRINCE IMPRESSES Special to THE SUX WANGANUI, Today. Conditions were again excellent this morning for the final gallops, with number one track in good order. As several candidates for the first day worked on Tuesday, it was left to some of the visitors -to set the main this morning. Valstreet and Crown Link went five furlongs in 1.5 4-5, taking 3S 3-5 for the first three. Valstreet will be ridden by H. Gray in the second division of the Purua Hack. Admiral Drake and Cuticle finished together at the end of four furlongs

in 49 2-5. Admiral Drake looks in good nick.

A good gallop went down to the credit of- Cashier and High Falutin#, the pair covering four furlongs in 49 4-5, the last three taking 37. Cashier was doing it well and is going to be hard to beat in the Connolly Handicap. Bern era took 38 to run three furlongs, but ho was alone and was not stretched out. Auctioneer and Royal Tractor too.it 50 2-5 to cover half a mile, the first quarter taking 2 4 4-5. The distance may* be too short for Auctioneer tomorrow, but he will run well. A Good Effort Laughing Prince and Equitant finished on terms at the end of four furlongs, which took them 49, the last three being covered in 27. As Laughing Prince was carrying just on 10.0 with L. G. Morris in the saddle, the merit of his performance was enhanced by the fact that he was doing it easily at the finish. Mountain Heath took 1.2 2-5 for the last five of six. He moved freely. Flying Juliet and a companion took 13 4-5 for five furlongs, the first three of which took 37 2-5. Moa Bird and Tahoma recorded 1.17 1-5 for six furlongs, both hitting out well. Skyrider and Mister Gamp jumped five hurdles faultlessly, while Prince Lu was sent six furlongs on number one track at a good clip. Pal eta was worked twice round on the plough, and a number of others did useful work. Riding Engagements Among riding engagements are: H. Gray: Valstreet, Bright Glow and Leitrim. B. H.
