NOTES FROM HAWERA.

HORSES FOR AWAPUNI.

SILVERMINE AGAIN IN WORK.

(By Telegraph.—'Special to "Star.")

HAWERA, this day.

Training operations on tlie local tracks since the Trentham meeting have been of an uninteresting nature, but with the new season approaching will soon revive. Just now a lot' of attention is being given to youngsters. This morning was fine and the horses engaged at Manawatu at the end of the month were given strong work. M. Conway has' two engaged—Maidos and Pikimai. The former was given two rounds of solid pace work on the sand. Pikimai went round on the trial grass (which was rather heavy) being accompanied by Calamine, who is also engaged at Awapuni, the last six furlongs being run in 1.28. Pikimai is in splendid oTder for his races. J. ■ Fryer has Orazone and Copey entered for Manawatu, and they are a likely pair. This morning Orazone did a good round on the trial grass by herself. The Bisogne mare finished well. She handled the winter going in good style. Copey schooled yesterday and acquitted himself well. The Warden, another Palmerston candidate, went in company with Double Red and finished his half mile in 565, his companion also going well for a couple of furlongs. Son o' Mine went well in his pace work over two rounds of the sand. Apparently he has recovered from his mishap at Trentham, but he is unlikely to start at Palmerston.

Gasnapper is looking and doing well in his work. . «

Havering, after being exercised inside, did a working gallop over a mile on the grass, coming home over the last half mile in 575. The Quin Abbey gelding is greatly fancied here for the Winter Cup. Riclifield, who it is intended will race in Australia, reflects credit on the trainer. He was given useful exercise on the sand.

Silvermine, who has again returned to the tracks, was given steady pacing. A number of youngsters were out doing routine work.
