AUCKLAND TROTS.

THE EPSOM TRACK.

WORK ON THE GRASS.

"WEE MACHINE AND REPLICA.

The grass track, with, the flags 35ft out, ■was available for fast work-, at Alexandra Park this morning, and the going was in excellent order. The best efforts of the morning were credited to Wee Machine and' Replica oh the grass and Nimbus and Mountain Dell on the dirt. • On the Grass. Manoeuvre , opened proceedings by running a mile and a half in 3.40, tlie last half mile in 1.13. • She ehowed a lot of epeed, but was inclined to bore on the bends. Wee Machine finished full of running over a mile and a quarter in 2.59 3-5, his last half mile- taking 1.7 3-5. This was the best four' furlongs of the morning. Going away •smartly from the mile and a half post, -Replica was driven out to register 3.37 2;5, her last half mile taking 1.11 2-5. This mare bears an improved appearance ae the result of her race last Saturday. Young Rodney' and Autumn Lu were associated; over a mile and a half, the latter galloping, fully a furlong before striking her gait. However, the pair were not "under pressure to complete the task in 3.48 3-5, the last half mile in 1.14. '

Mute and Worthy Nor went away practfcally together in. an essay over a mile and a half, Mute clearing away from hie companion over the last furlong to record 3.44, the last half'mile in 1.12 Worthy Nor took 3.48. Mute worked very freely and did .not show any signs of the soreness which has'troubled him of late. Our McKinney (saddle) and Spessiva went away 2e in front of Haerenga Pai (saddle) from the mile post, but the lastnamed was,slow to pick up speed. ' Our McKinney -was always, in front and although Spessiva made a determined effort in'the straight,. Our McKinney hung" en to beat her by a length in 2.21, the last half-mile in 1.11. Spessiva registered 2.21 3-5; while Haerenga Pai took 2.26. It was a really good effort oh the parts of Our McKinney and Spessiva. Edna conceded Captain Bolt 7s and Audo Patch 3s over two miles and beat them 'home in 5.4, the last half-mile in 1.14 2-5. Audo Patch, w.ho was eased up over' the-last furlong, recorded 5.7, his final, half-mile taking 1.15.' ' Audo' Patch pleased most.- - Lucky Love was timed to run a mile in 251 3-5, his last t half-mile in 1.10 2 T 5, and the final quarter 355. He is a very fit horse.

Kewpie's Guy got to the end of a mije and a quarter in 3.11, the last four furlongs taking 1.14. She appears to have improved with her race on Saturday. Mountain Sun was never at top over the first mile of a mile and a half, which took 3.48 4-5, but came home over the last half-mile in 1.12 4-5. Brown Betty Began faster than Grey Mist (saddle) and Charteris Bay from the mile post, but after going about five fur-longs-Charteris Bay punctured a tyre and was " pulled up, Grey Mist going on to finish two lengths in" front. of. Brown Betty "in 2.27, the last t half-mile in 1.14: Brown Betty registered 2.30. Charteris Bay was brought out again later and sprinted half a mile in '1.13. ' Kewpie's Triumph jumped away from the mile and a half post, and after running a quarter, was picked up by Kewpie s Crest, the pair keeping together until half a furlong from home, where Kewpie s Triumph forged ahead to beat his" cont panion by a length. He ran the full Journey in 3.41 3-5, the last half-mile taking 1.11 3-5. Kewpie'e Crest registered 3 6 1-5 for the mile and a quarter and ■I*l2 1-5 for the last half-mile. Kewpie s Triumph was not doing his best over the concluding stages. Slissa, after several attempts, went away from" the mile and a half post, coming home in 3.55. the last half-mile m 1.22. She went well within herself.

The Djrt Track. Nimbus was allotted two miles on the flirt track! He was loafing over the first mile to record 2.25, but speeded up, .ran the last mile in 2.16 and the final four furlongs in 1.6.- -The chestnut- appreciated the excellent going and revelled in his Eliminate (saddle), after running Ws first half-mile in 1:4 3-5, completed a mile away smartly from the mile and a half 'peg, Mountain Dell was .tuned td register 3.30, the last half-mile in-1.6, She&s to be improved after herrace on Saturday.
