NOTES FROM EPSOM.

There has not been a preat deal doing at Epsom during the week, but several visitors have arrived and from now on the work should be more interesting. Yesterday The Sinew and Ribbonwood's Last trotted solidly over a couple of miles. Xelson McCormack jVmed them over the last mile and a-half. They all did their work well, The Shrew shovving to most advantage. The Abbey and Dillon Huon were given a strong work out over a mile a;id α-half and finished together. Both are engaged in the Otaliuhu Cup on Saturday, and little fault can be found with their condition, particularly The Abbey, who is looking and working exeeptionallv well.
