, PALETA TO RESUME. HORSES FOR ELLERSLIE. WANGANUI TRACK WORK. (By Telegraph.—-Special to "Star.") WANGANUI, Thursday. The weather was fine for training operations this morning after light rain over night, which took the sting out of tlie ground. Horses with engagements at Auckland were worked before breakfast on the course proper, the reverse way. Count Palatine and Pedestal jumped off together three lengths ahead of Vertigern for a gallop over a ; mile. Count Palatine and Pedestal were abreast all the way, and more than held their advantage over Vertigern. The first two furlongs were run in 2os, the six furlongs in 1.10, and the full distance in 1.43 2-5. Pedestal continues to show improvement, and his track form points to him as likely to win a race shortly, though on performances the company in the Nelson Cup, in which he is expected to start, may be a bit above him. Cou'nt Palatine has gone on the right way since winning the Marangai Handicap at the Wanganui meeting. , Ceremony ran half a mile; by himself in 49 4-ss, on the outside of the course, and did it well. If lie runs up to .track form he should win a race at Ellerslie, as he is more solid looking now than he was at Wanganui. j Grecian, Appledore and Pomp were companions in a six-furlong spin, Pomp being on the extreme outside of the course. The others were also very wide out. They ran half a mile in 51s, and the full distance in 1.17.' Appledore went well, while Pomp's effort was a'n exceptionally good one, and he should run a great race in the Guineas at Ellerslie, tliouo'h lie may want another race before being at his very best. Grecian is Hitting out in good style. After breakfast Paratoo ran five furlongs on No. I track by himself in attractive style, cutting out the first quarter in 24 4-ss, and taking 1.3 for the iull journey. He will be taken to Hastings to-morrow for tlie'.Hawke's Bay Guineas, in which he should be very hard to beat, as he has improved considerably since the Wanganui meeting, at which Ije ran

two good races. * Zarene has gone amiss and will not make the trip, but Knollmere, a three-year-old by Grandcourt —Orozino, might accompahv Paratoo for experience. Knollmere went half a mile this morning with Cluny.' The former showed clear in the early stages, but was eased in the straight, to run the distance in 50 2-ss. He is°going to prove good. • It is .understood W. H. Dwyer is to ! put Paleta into work again, the freldin* having thrown off his lameness.
