BRYCE STREET IMPROVED. j The single pool system of betting | I will be in operation at Ellerslie, toI morrow, the occasion of the annual meeting of the Pakuranga Hunt Club. Valamito. Yalamito lias been hitting out in attractive style on the Takanlni tracks and lie promises to be one of the hardest to dispose of in the sprint on Saturday in which lie appears on the minimum. Progress of Kiltowyn. Kiltowyn has been making steady progress on the. tracks at Ellerslie during recent weeks and he should make, a creditable showing in the’ Jellieoe Handicap. The firm nature of the going will assist his claims. Parquet’s Credentials. A firm track at Ellerslie, to-morrow, will enhance the chances of Parquet, and in the' event of such conditions obtaining the Takanini representative should make a hold showing as she is in first-grade order at present. All Irish. All Irish is reported from Ellerslie to he in good heart to contest the* Pakuranga Hunt Cup to-morrow. Yesterday, in the final gallops for the meeting, lie shaped well arid will claim ' an optimistic following when lie goes ; into the starter's hands. To Whiowhio. J. F. Tutchen has a useful performer ■ in Te Whiowhio to carry stable expectations to-morrow in the Ladles’ i Bracelet. During recent weeks he 1 has been hitting out in pleasing style on the tracks and in the mediocre class ‘ engaged he' should show to advantage. ( Likely Four-year-old. ! Alytli is handily placed with 8.6 in the Sylvia Park Handicap to-morrow, f Her form at the Ellerslie June meeti ing was good and she will have’ her opportunity here of making amends for J her defeat ot Te Awamutu, where she i ran fourth In the Ilairini Hack Ilandis cap, won by Bescigc'. Qay 6treak. Gay Streak Is not without good prospects of success in the Auckland Ilamli- , cap to-morrow. He impressed yesterday in company with Respectful over six • furlongs, cutting out the distance in ‘ time which compared more than fav- . ourably with any other trial over the i distance during the morning. Galllo’s Chances. , Gallio drew attention to his sprint 1 prospects at Ellerslie to-morrow, when ; he shaped attractively on the tracks at Te Awamutu yesterday. He has been i in steady work for some months,past [ and promises to strip in good heart for | engagements ahead.

MAY SONG. May Song Is In splendid order to contest the Sylvia Park Handicap and on her running at Gisborne recently she will take a power of beating. Yesterday she pleased by accounting for Prince Aero over six furlongs. She Is a definitely improved mare now and her connections should experience a remunerative season with the three-quarter sister to Pink Coat.

Orao Should Run Well. Among 1 lie light-weiglil prospects entered for llic Jellieoe Handicap is ' M. J. Carroll’s charge, Urac, whose . efforts on tlie tracks over the past . several weeks have' been distinctly 1 promising. He is looking in splendid , nick and it will not be on the score i of condition if lie fails to give of his ‘ best. Hlrangi. In the Ladies’ bracelet, file event for ' gentlemen riders at the Pakuranga [ Hunt, it Is more often than not that ■ riding tactics play an all-important part in the decision. Among the horses, who will he well served in this regard is Ilirangi, a member of L. Knapp’s Awapuni team, who will have the services of the well-known amateur, Mr K. McK. Duncan. Gay Seton. When thoroughly attuned Gay Seton possesses more than average ability to cover the ground and while he would be • preTerred more with a race or two into him he should, nevertheless, strip a fil horse for his sprint encagement ! to-morrow. Tutchen has him in good order and lie’ lias been doing everyi Iking required of him on llic tracks | during recent weeks. Lochlel Lad.

TANGLED.

The Riccarton displays of Tangled will ensure the Awapuni horse a strong following In the Hunt Cup to-morrow. He won Impressively in both essays at the National meeting and is in rare order. Tangled has previously won i over the Ellerslie country and with every prospect of firm going obtaining it will take a good one to lower his colours on the day.

Has Abundance of Speed. Latest reports from Te Awamutu stale that Huntingmore has wintered well, and his prospects during Hie present term are regarded highly. As a two-year-old last season the son of Hunting Song and Curraglmiorc registered some smart performances, which left no doubt concerning bis speed. If Huntingmore makes the improvement that horses of his age are reasonably expected lo do lie should make a first class sprinter this season. A Likely Improver. Among the improving talent entered for the Pakuranga Hunt is Bryce Street, who in recent weeks lias made splendid progress under M. J. Carroll's charge. A lino through his showing on | the tracks yesterday would suggest I that his connections can confidently anticipate, in the near future, some justification for their early optimism concerning the son of Little England and Cliancit. Won At Trentham. Dutch Girl has been paid up for in Ihe .lellicoo and Auckland Handicaps and it is not yc't known what race she will contest. This mare was in good order at the Wellington fixture, where she annexed Hie' Petone Handicap, run over a mile, on the second day. if reserved for llic Auckland Handicap, which is run over llic' same distance. Dutch Girl should give a good account of herself, as she Is not overburdened willi and slays on better Ilian most backs. Has a Dual Engagement. Rozel, who is engaged in the Greenmount Sleplechase and the Hunt Gup was second lo All Irish in the Hunt Club Hurdles at the Great Northern meeting, but she failed to get into Hie money in llie Hunt Club Cup Ihe next day. She was second to All Irish till ascending the' bill Hie last time, where she commenced to lire ami cone I«» grief at an obstacle ~n 10,. of the lull.
