TE AWAMUTU HORSES.

CANDIDATES FOR MARTON. KING'S KNAVE GOES WELL. CARTAGNAN ALSO PLEASES. The course proper, -which was cutting up badly, was available about 50 feet out from the rails for fast work at Te Awarnutu yesterday morning. Although, no outstanding times were recorded much useful work was indulged in. Other tracks in use were the middle grass tor pace work and the hurdle grass for two-jcar-olds. The Course Proper. King's Knave, who looks in the pink of condition, was the first out, and traversed three furlongs nkely in 42 1-os. He had a lot in hand at the post. D'Artagnan was sent four furlongs, and after covering the first two in 28s ran the full distance in 595. Nothing on the tiacks at the present time is working or lookin" better than this fellow, who, ii taken to the Marton meeting, should not be disgraced. Impasto was not asked to make time while traversing five furlongs, but was hitting out nicely throughout. A pleasing task was provided by JUarecnal, who placed four furlongs behind nicely in 55 4-ss, a like distance being covered by Campanero in 595. Kanapa was under restraint while completing two furlongs in 28%5. Spearwin was moving along more generously than usual when he covered three furlongs in 445. Jonathan had the" Lapidary gelding as a companion over three firrlongs which occupied 44 3-ss. The two-year-old Ling Moy was accompanied down the straight by Loombination, and, although she ran about a lot, she shaped nicely.

The Middle Grass. Among those doins pace work oni this track were:—Tenakoe, Lucidue, Iβ laua, Knight of Australia, Ruri, Kopurere, Lia' Fail, Sir Musk, Emancipation, &? u J£ fc Jack, Musquil, while Namukea and the Gay Shield—Persia filly did jogging on the £or pagt j j ve months has 'been located at the Waipa Racing Club's stables, is leaving this week to make his headquarters at Matamata. .He mil be taking all pi his team, comprising Emancipation, Lia Mail and Sir Miiek. _ ~ Beryl Latour, who figures among the nominees for the Marton meeting, not attending ;the tracks, but is enjoying a spell in the paddock. .It is understood that a- good offer has been made for her by a southern eporteman, but nothing as yet has been finalised. Protomint, who was severely cut about in his race at the Pakuranga meeting, is still very lame, and is not likely to be seen out on the tracks for. some A. Rowan has another promising gelding in his stable, the five-year-old Nimbue (Catmint—Freesia), but has not as yet started him in regular work.
