DUNEDIN MEETING.

WORK AT WINGATUL' I ' . JUVENILES DISPLAY SPEED, ;'< ' ' ■ •-".'Uv'-j (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) . DUNEDIN, this day. Considering that the Dunedin Jockey Club's spring meeting will open on Thursday, this morning's work at Wingatui was disappointing. The inside grass and the tan tracks were in good order for fast work, but most of the trainers were content- to let their horses off with from half to three-quarter pacing tasks. The course proper has made a splendid recovery during the past few days of fine and drying weather, .and now promises to be in first-class order for the meeting, and owners will have little to complain of regarding the course if the weather remains fine until Thursday. Pride or Clutha and Black Earl finished together at the end of six furlongs on the tan in 1.18 3-5. The two-year-olds Gusto and Forecast ran three furlongs on the grass in 37 2-50, the latter doing the better over the last ; furlong. Viking, with his off-hind heel heavily bandaged, but looking none the worse for his gallop along the road and railway Una on Thursday morning,' was sent once round on the grass, and ran his last six furlongs in 1.21. Before work commenced Costume, Autumn "Wind, Araboa and a two-year-old took fright near the. racecourse gates and galloped along the road about half a mile, but were stopped before any serious damage was done.
