EPSOM TRIALS.

KEWPIE'S KING PLEASES.

MILE BY CHARTERIS BAY,

The dirt track was in excellent order for fast work at Epsom this morning and several horses were responsible for useful efforts. „ , Dick Redmond and Gay Sister were associated over a mile and a half and ran two separate half-miles in 1.20 and I.lb respectively. Gay Sister has filled out appreciably since coming to Auckland ana she should not be long in reaching hei best form. Dick Redmond trotted in great style and lie may be given a run at Claudelands early next month. Aerial Bell sprinted half a mile in 1.16 and later got to the end of a mile and a quarter in 3.7. This novice is shaping up well. , Silver Watch, who has just returned to work, was allotted several rounds at a useful pace. He is as yet very big in condition, but is looking well. Dilfashion was sent two miles. He ran the first mile in 2.20. the mile and a half in 3.42 and the full distance in 4.53. He trotted without mistake and hit out freely. , Charteris Bay and Queenie Direct, both in saddle, were given a run over a mile, but the latter soon commenced to gallop. Charteris Bay ran his first half in 1.6, and the mile in 2.13 4-5. It was a sound effort and he should not be without prospects in the saddle event to be decided at the Waikato meeting. Bingen Crest was not after time while traversing a mile and a quarter, but ran his last half-mile in 1.16 3-5. He is looking well and has a pleasing action Travis infused a lot of dash, into his work, but was not strapped up. He has never looked in better order. John's Last and Gold Pointer jumped away '3s in front of Kewpie's King from the winning post. Soon after the start Gold Pointer left his feet, while he again made a lapse further on and was pulled up. John's Last set the pace to the mile in 2.27 and after reaching the mile and a quarter in 2.59 4-5 was pulled up. Kewpie's King continued on to run a mile and a half in 3.31 2-5, and the last halfmile in 1.6 2-5. He paced in great style, but was inclined to loaf over the last furlong. John's Last went very well and is a promising maiden. Lucky Love with given useful work after returning from a spell. He has put on a little surplus condition as the result. Among others to do light tasks were Mountain Sun, El Thorpe. Worthy Song, the Ringtrue —Intaglio filly, the Truman Direct —Intaglio colt, Golden Bramble and a Jewel Pointer—Kirikiriroa filly.
