TRACK GALLOPS.

WORK AT ELLERSLIE. A QUIET MORNING. No. 1 grass track was available at Ellerslie this morning and provided excellent going, but few horses were galloped. The tan and sand tracks were in demand for pace work. Gay Broney and the Kilbroney-Miss Hazel gelding were first out, being sant over five furlongs. They ran the first three in 39 3-ss, and completed the gallyp in 1.6 1-5. Dcniylus was alloted a round, which he covered in 2.0 2-3. He went freely throughout, running the last six furlongs in 1.25 2-5, and the final three furlongs in 435. Jewelicd Girdle was given an easy six furlongs, which he traversed in 1.26 1-5. This maiden has improved in condition considerably during the last month. Chief Cook cantered round to the three-furlong post and ran home in 39 2-ss. Others to do useful work were: Braiupton, Angie, Lady Winifrede, Ruling King, Supreme JRuler, Operatic, Thunderstorm.

Tigerism beat a useful field of handicap horses in the Feilding Cup yesterday, registering his best performance to date. This was his first outing since he raced at the Auckland' spring meeting, where he ran a creditable race i.n the. Mitchelson Cup, but failed to see out the journey. He performed well in hack company last season, and, judged on his latest success, should be seen to better advantage before the season is much further advanced.
