TURF TOPICS. (By "Moturon.") Avon Park was scratched for all engaments at Wanganui at 9 a.m. on Friday. Waimatao is reported to be an unlikely runner at Wangandi. The handicapper gave him 10.0. Bore and Charlie did easy work at Wanganui on Friday morning. Both look very well, and thefe is no sign of Bore's alleged lameness. Soldier E. Copostakc is now jockster E. Copestake. "Copey" will be riding at Wanganui. A Wanganui scribe opines that Collector will be saddled up for the Century Hurdles in preference to the Wanganui Steeples. This scribe doubts it very much. . Nitft is looking very well, and nothing | is going better on the tracks at Wanganui. Last year she finished third, necks separating Oluopot, Braeb'um, and her ladvship, and most people reckoned that hut for interference she would have won. She was finishinir the faster of the trio that day, and should heat more than best her next Thursday. Another of the old Ihri'Tflde that has been getting through solid tastes at headquarters is old Mnrt-on. Nothing has it on him In anr trv-out. and the old prad *eem to relish his brushes,over bier conn'<p\ T/ast season he was inclined to shirt it at times, but that is a thing of the past. "Munser, who arrived on Thursday, jumped a couple of fences proficiently on Friday morning, and afterwards did long, slow work. Coalition has not dono anythting startling since reaching headquarters,'but bears a well-trained appearance. Gluepot and Sir Fisher are hoth bright and well, and they ploa=ed the touts greatly on Saturday morning.
