ELLERSLIE TRIALS.

THIS MORNING'S WORK. REREATU'S GOOD FIVE. A fog before breakfast prevented some of the horses being timed at Ellerslie this morning, but later it cleared and the conditions became ideal. No. 2 glass track was open and the going was good. Landlubber ran an easy seven furlongs, taking 1.43. Zane Grey was sent a round, being assisted over the last six furlongs by Haputale. The full journey occupied 1.52 3-5. Wee Pat, Royal Appellant and Knight of Australia were associated over a round, finishing together, the last six furlongs taking 1.38 2-5. Illumani and Fleetwind were on terms at the end of! live furlongs in 1.3 1-5, which was a good effort for the former. Valspear traversed a similar distance in 1.2 4-5, and did it well. Santoft and Town Beauty were just) in front of Billy Boy at the conclusion of six furlongs in 1.23, the last half mile: taking 555. Te Hai ran the last six furlongs of his work in 1.20, and Shy accom-j plished a round in 1.49 3-5.
