Both youngsters shaped pleasingly. The Jumpers. Master Clements (McGregor) was tried over a couple of pony hurdles. He cleared the first one safely, but having no pace on he baulked at the second. He was taken, back and jumped it all right. .' . •"' ' . ;; ... ■ Chelone (Husband), and Zane Grey (Duggan) cleared a . Couple of pony hurdles in good style. They, were trotted around and repeated the performance over two big hurdles.''

Stonewall (Mr. Kendall) gave a safe display while negotiating half a dozen schooling hurdles. Kawiti (Nightingale) baulked the. first time he was tried at a pony hurdle, but eventually cleared a couple -safely.
