Dan a<? is proing alonjr nicely in her work, and should be seeu to advantage this season. Right and Left is looking well, and has performed creditably in liis trade work recently. He is engaged in the Mitehclson Cup. A. Fhearsl-y. IT. L. Russell, M. J. Carroll and J. T. Jamieson are expected to arrive at Ellerslie to-morrow, and their horses will be at W. Mobberley's stable. A. Brown is not having much fortune •with Harold Junior and Red Star, but the pair are not nllowed to be idle, and Red Star is striding along freely in his work. Nominations for all events to be decided at the spring meeting of the Takapuna Jockey Club, also linal payment for the Takapuna Plate, close with the secretary, Mr. R. Wynyard, at 5 p.m. Te Monanui appears none the worse for his racing at the Avondale and Wellington meetings. He performed creditably at both these fixtures, and will not te without some supporters in the Mitclielson Cup. So far Master Councillor is standing up to the light tasks given him since lie returned to work. He is well bandaged, and, with the tracks almost certain to be hard from now on, it may te difficult to get him to stand a severe preparation. Money did not manage to win a race at Te Aroha, but this pacer would have gone very close to landing a stake had he not begun badly in his races. He was not so forward as some of his opponents, and will be a much better horse next time he faces the starter. The training track at Epsom this morning was in great order, and particularly favourable to fast times. Moderate performers were reeling off 'brilliant halfmiles, and one could only wonder what a champion would have gone had he been "stepped out and sent a-half at top. Dean Dillon is going along attractively in his work at Epsom, and this morning "vV. Kelsey allowed the gelding to stride out over two miles. It is over twelve months since the pacer won a race, but he is doing well now, and Kelsey looks like catching a good stake with him before long. G. Phippe is not startling the touts at Epsom with the work he is allotting to Dick Dillon and Black Lila, 'but he often is seen at the park twice a day, both morning and afternoon, and the appearance of Dick Dillon in particular suggests that he will not require much speeding up to put him right at the top of his form. Ben Wallace was one of the early brigade at Epsom this morning. The gelding shows all his dash for half a mile, but does not stay on. He is one of the best beginners ever seen at Auckland, but, unfortunately for his owner, the stake is decided at the other ena of a race, not at the beginning. The Blue Mountain King—lntaglios three-year-old which G. McKendrick) has engaged in the Great Northern Derby is regularly attending the Epsom track, but he is yet a novice, and it will take time to get him accustomed to the business. He is inclined to hitch at times, ibut on other occasions moves along in & way that is distinctly promising. Kamehameha ran second to Star Stranger in a nine-furlongs race at Avondale, and it seemed as though it was assessing his ability fairly high w-hen he was accorded a nomination in the Mitehelson Cup, but after the round he did with Barometer, Te Monanui and Town Bank this morning, he certainly must be given a chance among the 7st division. A very fine workout was registered at Epsom this morning between Lord Kepean and Nelson Fame. Strapped up, both pacers went in great style over a mile and a-half, never putting a foot wrong, and with the pace right on all the way, they finished up their task well. Nelson Fame is now in S. August's stable, and last week he was worked in saddle, but this morning lie was in harness. G. McKendrick looked upon Dillon Huon as a, certainty at Te Aroha, and it was a surprise to him, also the trackwatchers at Epsom, when the chestnut was beaten into second place. McKendrick says the chestnut was never doing ■his work right at any part of the race, and the colt could not handle the grass at all. Being not yet a four-year-old, Dillon Huon has plenty of time before him, and it will be surprising if he fails to make a high-class pacer. Old Moneymaker is a hard proposition for any trainer to battle along with, and not many would feel confident of getting a race out of the veteran. For some time he has been pottering about at Epsom with other members of A. Xewdick's team, with the result that now he is shaping up and getting quite lively. With or without the straps he is a bonny little pacer, and if Newdick can win a race with him he will deserve quite a lot of credit. Another veteran in Lord Minto is in the same team. Since the inauguration of the rule regarding divisions where the acceptors exceed the safety number allowed by the conference, much dissatisfaction has been expressed by owners, trainers and jockeys, and several clubs have asked the governing body to Teconsider the position. This is now being done, and it is anticipated that an alteration will be made in the amo'unfc of space allotted to each horse at the barrier. This will allow of larger fields, which experience. jt has shown can be safely started on Q many racecourses. In view of this, the H Auckland Racing Club expect that it B will bo unnecessary to divide any of I their fields-on Saturday,
