ELLERSLIE TRACK.

A QUIET MORNING. LANDLUBBER AND TE HAL After a very heavy frost overnight the weather was fine for training at Lllerslie this morning. No. 2 grass track was open and the going was in excellent order. Landlubber and Teddy Boy were the first to work, being timed to run six furlongs in 1.15 4 : o. They covered the last half mile in 50s and Landlubber had the advantage at the cncl. These horses are to fulfil their engagements at Wanganui and are expected-to leave on Monday. Teddy Boy is temporarily under the care of It. McTavish, who will have charge of him on the Southern trip. Horowhenua reeled off half a mile in 52 l-ss, covering the last three furlongs in 39 2-ss. ' His stablemate Horotiu sprinted -well over half a mile, which occupied 50 4-ss. H. Rama is expected to arrive back from Riccarton to-morrow.
