Banday, has not yet been slackened oat, ! sad so far has done nothing bnt half-pace | Work. To look at Isolt one would not Dick j her to be the champion she has proved feerseif to be. The work oa the tracks at Ellersiie this teorning was of the steady order. The new Ito, Mobility, Lyrist, Medallist, Marguerite, William L, Tambonrtoa, and Certainty—were out and were la- :, m easy pacing. With the exception ft R. Harmon's team, all the visitors enJtged at the meeting are now at Ellersiie. , ':, Marguerite, which is practically favourite JOT the A.R.C. Easter Handicap, arrived «rom the South yesterday, and was exercised at Ellersiie this morning. The mare, although perhaps a trifle on the small side, looks wellr and in some quarters the big . mile race is looked upon as practically a certainty *«* & H. Prosser's representative. jJttrW.

are the popular-picks for the mile race, and both are looking as well as their best Bupporters conld wish. Leonator la pari ticular. Is looking bright and _ well, and has got through a-lot of useful, work la company with his stable companion Landlock, and it Is rumoured he Is likely ,to be the select of the stable, so if this proves

correct he will probably start favourite on the' day. Marguerite has a very strong folllowing, and her connections are confident she will make a good' showing. Marguerite-looks well. . Nothing is looking better than Gladstone, but the weight and the heavy going may find him out. Lady Annie has come on a lot lately, and can be depended upon to make a bold bid for the stake, and; it would occasion" no surprise were she returned the winner. Strathavon demonstrated at Avondale "that he still .retains all hl3 brilliancy, and not a yew good judges are tipping him to be in the first three. Ironmould and Delania are both going as well as their best friends could wish, the former especially so. Taken altogether, the event looks as open a one as we have had for some time, and iris anything but an easy task to try and pick the winner.
