KING BRIERLY'S FUTITRB.. •* r-'-TO BE USED AS A LADY'S HACK.

In a spirit of ■ progressiveness, rMr. R. Hines has effected the purchase of the Frodsham property, of five acres r arid

buildings, fronting .the Waihoii' ihain road and > within a short distance of th£ Te Aroha racecourse. Several- modern loose boxes are being erected, which 'in' the near future will be occupied by the owner's yearlings, which are now at" •Mountain View farm, Te Aroha West.

During the week Mr. McSheffrey's mare Queen Lu has been speeded up in her track work, and with a good weight up has acquitted herself very satisfactorily. She will be among the contestants at the Taumarunui fixture in October.

J. F. Eva has lately effe.cted a distinct improvement in the condition of Libra, who will be ready to race in the near future. She .has only to repeat her track work to run prominently with the colours tip.t-

' At-' the last Te' Aroha meeting * Kin& Brierly had a bone broken in one of his fetlocjc joints. He made -arglow- recovery from the effects of the injury, and ■ the joint still bears an enlarged appearance. "There is a decided doubt as to whether he .'will become sound enough for racing purposes, and during the wieek, as Miss, Dayies,- of - Springside,. expressed wish to get i the. horse for'.use -as' a'Jady's, hack, Mr,.Hines made her a present of him.''"

The latest addition to the' Te Aroha horses'-is Mr.. N. Grafa's: Impasto, who, chas. ,joined -H.. Eva's :team. ..He appears to be quite sound and is. in nice; condition to; recommence iwcirk-y. '•'! ■ ,:j y -

.A. E.' Cox has Fei-Mah and Black Musk bowling along very freely in their track work. The latter, who is a full-brother to King Musk, may. still take time, but he chows distinct promise,, andlater;on in the season may be .'racing prominently'; in the. handicap events. '■ . . . Bonnie Song, who is now among the regular track workers,'is likely to perform better this season thaii' last:. .She .'.is : -.in, decidedly good trim and is putting' cOn£. eiderably more vim into her work': than previously. ' Mungatoon is being kept up to his work and lias neyer been better at this'period of the year as far as condition is concerned. Mungacre is being indulged in , !alight preparation and should pay his way this season. Long slow work is. still bein'g .allotted Golden-Sheila arid Solaria. Both are-very ■well, and when the tracks become ;"inore firm may be seen in some good sprinting ■work. ; ' <,•
