ELLERSLIE TRACK.

A QUIET MORNING. BLACK MARLIN SCHOOLS WELL. No. 3 grass track was available for fast work at Ellerslie this morning and the going was a shade on the soft side owing to lieavy vain overnight. There was very little fast work done, tiie majority of the horses being allotted pace work on the s;md track. Te Hai was sent six furlongs and, after running the: first' three in 38 l-ss, completed his task in 1.1!) 4-5. He was inclined to work lazily and would have done better with a mate. . Horowhen,ua worked over a round on the sand and Gascille did strong work on the same track, being timed to run his last seven furlongs in 1.39 3-5. Black Marlin (Moore) was schorNl over four hurdles centre, giving a firstrate exhibition. Lord Val (Moore) was sent over the same fences and jumped safely, though he dipped badly at the last obstacle. Triune and Velocipede left Avondale for Wanganui yesterday to fulfil engagements at the winter meeting there. Velocipede was not paid up for on the first day. but will contest the Connolly Handicap on Tuesday.
