THE RACING CARNIVAL

t i ON THE TRACK AT ELLERSLIE. VICE-ADMIRAL AMISS. ; The weather was perfect for training - operations at Ellerslie this morning, and a large number of horses were exercised, the majority being confined to useful tasks with an occasional .sprint home of a couple of furlongs, l'ractically all the work was registered on the tin, which is proving a gre;it boon, during the dry weather. Hoy-al Soult was first to work, covering a couple of rounds of the tan, the first at half pace, and the second in '2.0 :>3. Royal Soult moved scratchily, and did not appear to walk away as freely as on Saturday. R. O'Donneu's team, Los Augelos, lion Reve, Eon Ton, Culprit, and Oxeuhope (lid I strong half to three-quarter-pace work on | the tan. j Lieatberbrae and Brown Owl were asso ' elated in a gallop over seven furlongs on the i tan, which they left behind iv 1.30 2-o. | Bleriot and Waiorewa galloped six furlongs, the last four taking 55 2-ss, with I Bleriot going the better at tbe finish, but [ neither were doing iheir best. i Ruatangata, with the assistance of Merry Christmas over the last five furlongs, galloped a mile ou the sand, running the last seven furlongs in 1.36. The Hague and Landrail, which have been suffering from minor ailments since their arrival, spurted a couple of furlongs, the first fast work they have done. Ventura alone spurted four furlongs on { the sand in 515.. her stable companion, Jason, taking 51 3-ss. for a similar distance. I After breakfast Master Walrlkl spurted I four furlongs on the grass in 53 --us., and I a host of others also exeTclsed. ! Golden Loop and Koran were schooled over three hurdles, the latter giving the better display. XEW ARRIVALS. R. Hannon reached Ellerslie on Saturday with Rose de Gnerre. Tinopai, Semolina aud Soldier Rose de Guerre Is suffering from a sore back, and will not be seen out at the meeting. | By the Rarawa, which arrived yesterday. | Waterworks and Kelp were brought to Auckland, the former being engaged at j Ellerslie and the latter at the Thames. ] Ngatimani and Electrakoff also arrived on ] Saturday. j VICE-ADMIRALS INJURY.
