IMPROVING.

EUGENE DE ORQ WILL WIN SOON.

(By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.")

CHRISTCHURCH, ihis day

The trotter Bramdean continues to do steady work at Addington, but. he is not sent along as his best speed. It looks as though his trainer will have a difficult task to keep the Nelson Bingen horse in work, as he does not appear to be any too sound.

Mac Locanda looks none the worse for his recent racing. He won decisively at Methven, and his training work suggests that he will go on to further successes. F. G. Holmes has worked considerable improvement with the pacer. J. R. Kennerley is now sending Black Wattle along at a faster clip in his training work, but the Australian-bred pacer is some removes from being at his best. The pacer Reylet is now doing plenty of fast work, and shows a good deal of speed. He looks best suited to short journeys. The trotter John Mauritras is remaining sound, and is coming along the right way. When at his best he has a lot of speed, and is a fine stayer. He is not yet being sent along at his best speed. Sonoma Child.has how settled down to steady work in training, and E. Carlyon has the tAvo-year-old classic winner on the improve, . Sarella is back in work again at Addington. At present she is somewhat in the rough, staid she may not be ready for a few, months. Rolex is now a regular attendant at Addington, and the pacer is fast getting into good racing condition. He may turn out a useful performer for E.-C. McDermott. G. McKendry is giving Grace Huon plenty of work. She is not a particularly attractive pacer, but she gets over the ground fast, and looks to be on the improve. Eugene de Oro was unlucky in his race at Methven, where he finished second to Arikitoa, being beaten by a narrow margin in the best race of the day. He should not be long before he is returned a winner.
