ELLERSLIE TRAINING NOTES.

Tuesday. Yesterday the Opotiki gelding Mokomoko schooled over hurdleif Later on Sudden, fencing nicely lJ Katere aud Monk over the steeple, chase course. This morning Rosella galloped a mile in a pleasing ___ v , ncr, in company with Derringcote who could not finish with her. Can' nongate came home fast over the last part of a circuit, after doing one a t a steady pace. St. Peter was some lengths too good for Rags [__ "T soundly run once round. Beddington and Glasgow covered the same distance, both going well. Regalia aad Bacchus put in long steady work and St. Ursula registered a capital ' once round, evidently being sent on a time making mission. Sundial aud Honesty, with lighter weights than Winsome carried, easily held their places ia front of that mare, Sundial going in the freer manner throughout. Hastings skipped over six i__. longs merrily, and Balbirnie, who registered fair time ove r a mile, ran right away from Bandolier. J^ Gloria and Formula, after canterin** once round, traversed a mile at a sound pace. The weights were all against La Gloria, who stuck to her companion well. Cavaliero went twice round at half pace-. The Grand National Hurdle favourite moves short, and there is evidently a screw if only a small one, loose with the big, son oi Cuirassier. Favona this -morning did a stronger gallop than _su_l. Result, lameness- more pronounced,!; He had Fairyhouse as a companion in the last circuit of two. It is a pity to see Favona toiling along morning after morning in such manifest: trouble. Volee did useful pacing, Blackberry and Coeur de Lion, after running once round at better than a half pace, improved it, and ran another, keeping together to the turn,. when Coeur de Lion came away, gal-, loping in rare style. He walked very sore after being dressed. Princessof Thule was too fleet for Starlight. Tim. put in long steady work, and so 'did, Hairtrigger, Nor'-west and Plain.; Jack. Rufus alone traversed two cir-' cuits on the grass, the first at th_ee_ , quarter pace, and the second with all;', pressure on, and acquitted himself' really well. Admiral Hawke gallop-' ing more generously than Picklock and Motor at the end of a mile. Lady, Avon and Merry Kate rattled off, fire*.. furlongs nicely. Sudden went away from Tarragon in the second of two' rounds, Monk, who started with them, tailing right away. St. Olga,* appeared tired towards the end of, a gallop over the best part of a circuit. Straybird, Forty-seven and Paul Sea* ton each did steady work. While schooling The Needle rapped a hurd__' hard, displacing it, and The. Swimmer,, jumping on top of it, fell, his.rider being- unconscious for a while. Capford did not jump the big fences with the same dash as he ha's done the 1 smaller ones. Plain Bill was gallop-..' ing stroiiger than Kaimate at the end of two circuits, and this gelding, is evidently coming on. He pulled up well. Dingo, Royal Conqueror and Swiftfoot set out on a hurdle jumpitig j task on the course proper. Swiftfoot 1 behaved badly, a.nd Royal Conqueror; was somewhat erratic in jumping, but. from the last hurdle home he beat 4 Dingo. • The fourteen furlongs war). :■■ got over in fair time. Hinau and Cannonade went about a mile and a half § together oyer .the same number of hurdles, and acquitted themselves, nicely. Moifaa and Sylvanus were al-, ways well in front of Vanquish in Wi turn they took over the steeplechase; course, and Moifaa was some lengths in front over the water jump. A round-.: of the tan was then taken, Moifaa-; drawing away from the tired Sylvanus. Riot, the Taranaki gelding,' jumped some, of the schooling- fences nicely. ' 7
