TROTTING.

WORK AT ADDINGTON. WESTERN VOYAGE RETURNS. BELINDA'S PREPARATION. TODD LONZIA FOR GREYMOUTH. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. E W Franks is working a half brother by Rey de Oro to ttrdiiial Lo«mn He was worked at Addington during the week, and paced in a pleasing manner. ,-. _j Beckv de Oro is building up well, and is pacing in improved form in her training work. She looks as if sprmt .journevs will suit her best. A Cox has to keep busy with the thre'e-vear-old trotter Todd Lonzia, as he puts on condition very fast. During the mst week he was worked regularly, and never looked like making a mistake He may have his first race at,Greymouth next month. F G Holmes has taken over the trotter Reverie, by Peter Moko from Dreamland, the dam of Napland and Fairymaid. So far, Holmes has not asked the big brother to go fast. Bramdean will in future be trained by F Holmes. A. Candy has had the trotter in all his earlier racing, and has done well with him in spite of unsoundness. If Bramdean can be kept sound, he will soon be in better company, as there is no question about his speed. L. Davidson is working at Addington a very promising two-year-old.pacer by Matchlight from a Wallace L. mare. He has not been sent along fast, but he has a fine way of doing his work, and he is expected to race well the first time he is started;.

G. McKendry is keeping Delightful in work, and the pacer is going all right in his training. He has a lot of speed, but his best form has been shown in races up to a mile and a-half.

A two-year-old filly by Travis Axworthy, from the dam of Muriel de Oro, is being worked by E. Berry at Addington. She is small, but she can show a fair turn of speed.

Vendome lias had an easy time since she raced at Addington last month. She is now in solid work again, and the short respite seems to have done her a deal of good,

Achray is being given plenty of useul work by G. McKendry, and the pacer looks in capital shape. J. J. Kennerley is sending the Australianbred gelding along at a much faster speed than formerly, and is keeping him at the pacing gait. He may pick up a race later in- the season over a short distance.

The young trotter by Sonoma Harvester from Adventuress is being worked by T. G. Fox, who was very successful with his dam.

Peter Conquest, the six-year-old trotter by The Triumph from Reta Peter, is being persevered with by N. L. Price. Reta Peter was the champion of her time, and she has two New Zealand cups to her credit. Peter Conquest has been trained off and on for some time, but without any success. N. L. Price is a particularly capable trainer with trotters, and he has made useful performers of many who, under other circumstances, might never have raced. It remains to be seen how •he will succeed with Peter Conquest, who looks a difficult proposition. Although Kef}) did not race well at New Brighton, he has been doing good work in training and his indifferent display must be put down to the track. He failed to keep his gait, and even when pacing he did not show any of his undoubted speed. Western Voyage, who won flie Dominion Trotting Handicap last season, is back in work under W. J. Tomkinson's charge. The Australian-bred trotter looks in good health, and he should be at his best by November. The Auckland - owned pacer Free Advice lias been leased by W. J. Tonikinson and will in future be trained at Addington.

A. Cox is working a useful looking young pacer by Aerial Bingen from Galindo Belle. V. Alborn purchased him in the North Island a few months ago. Belinda seems to be all right again, and G. MeKenury has started to send her along faster in her training work. DILLON HUON AGAIN. Sold last season for £50 to go to West Australia, the chestnut pacer Dillon Huon is proving a good proposition at Perth. Some months ago he was responsible for a record-breaking performance at Brennan Park and a fortnight ago he again showed himself to be one of the most brilliant horses racing there by winning the principal event, the Trayning Handicap of a mile and a half. The'class was 2.19 to the mile or better, and the ex-Aucklander was on 60yds. Unwinding a great burst of speed over the final quarter Dillon Huon won well at a 2.17 i rate. His trainer, Walton, in the past few weeks has won races with Dillon Huon, Spotlight and La Sonette, all exNew Zealanders. WHEEL AND TRACK NOTES. SEASON'S FIXTURES. (By ORION.) ' October 4—Metuven T.C. October 11—Waikatb T.C October 18—Northland T.C. October 23, 27—Greymouth T.C October 2j, 27—Auckland T.C. The committee of the Auckland Trotting Club w/ill meet on Wednesday next to deal with the programmes to be offered during the present season. The Taranaki Trotting Club ended up last season with a profit of £208. This is considered very satisfactory for a club which had held only six totalisator meetings since its inauguration. =• G. Robertson is working a small team at Otahuhu. Great Ballin is the best of the team, and as he can go fast and stay fairly well lie should be a payable proposition this season. He did not race well at the relief meeting, but he was evidently not at the top of his form. Eeremai is being allotted steady work by her owner, Mr. J. Simkin, at J. T. Paul's track at Mangere. Eeremai has been a good winner each season, but now that she has gone fast for two miles she will have to take her place in the best company.

W. Hughes has Loch Moigh in work again at Hastings and this good, but somewhat unsound pacer, is being prepared for early events ahead. Hughes has also a bay filly by Travis Axworthy, which he is educating for the owner, Mr J. A. Mitchell.
