HORSES AT TE AROHA. WYNAKDO SHOWS PROMISE. included in It. Kvu'h team in tho throe-yenr-olil gelding by Aero from a Marble Aroh—St, Annum Ijuceri mine. Since joining tlm stable n few weeks ago lie liuh developed very materially and in now a very nlou typo of thoroughbred, showing constitution and weight-carrying ability. On the track hp is a strong mover, and he certainly given promise of making good in due course, Seven Sens, in tlie name stable, is all (lie better for bis effort at Tanranga. It is intended to give this Spear Dance representative a course of schooling over hurdles, and on account of his size and strength it is quite possible that be may be suited to this department, Himv being put on tho easy list lately King Rey has freshened up considerably, and in the regular slow work now being allotted him is always anxious to increase the pace, On present appearances he should be ready to race fairly early in tho new season. Among tho To Aroha two-year-olds already in work, The Aee -Wynette colt VVynardo shows promise, M. Lipsey is in mi way hurrying this juvenile in his preparation, and he is still therefore on the iiig side, (Jupen La. Clay Hose and Mungatoon, owing In having no early engagements to fulfil, are on the easy list. In the Woodstock Slakes at To Awninntu Mungatoon inn up lo his recently improved track fin m, bill whs fo ii certain extent detrimentally affected by the heavy state of the A. K. (ox has the half-sister to Val Wall Ii Ip\ Speiir Diim e executing improved work. She handles herself well on wet tiinks and is quite likely to develop into a (•nimble galloper. The latest addition to this stable Is I he To Awnmulti-owned rising two-year-old filly by I'hilainor. Mr, if, Whitten's rising two-year-old gelding by Vanls—Hilllkins lias been named Slur Vanls. Ho is rendy to be put into work, mid, having been well wintered, and being a neat type in conformation, mny coin,> to hand early. WELLINGTON CANDIDATES.

INVER RESUMES. mver has resumed work at Titkanini, following a spell, during which he was added to the list. luvcr showed winning form in the autumn of his two-year-old career, but a trip to Australia in the spring of last season proved uneventful. The best haß yet to be seen of the Iliad— Sunkissed gelding, who may reach firstclass company next season. MADE AMENDS. Oladium was very unlucky when racing at Hastings, but was rewarded with a win in tho Kakuiatai Hack at the Danncvirkc Hunt meeting on Saturday. His margin was narrow, however, but he won, and that k the main thing. Lo Touquet, the Hastings-trained gelding, was one of the first out, and after shaking off the pony, Sporting Gift, at the straight, looked the winner, but, finishing resolutely, (thulium hung on to get up and win on the post, (thulium is engaged at Trcntham. PROSPECTS OF STABLEMATES. Since joining R. S. Bagby's stable last autumn Stretto and Privy Seal have made good progress, and this pair are in great order to undergo a solid preparation. Stretto has grown into a sturdy-looking (illy, and as she has had a good spell there is every prospect of her reproducing her earlier form when she commences racing again. Privy Seal has not been over-raced, but she displayed sufficient speed in two-year-old events this season to warrant her future being regarded in a favourable light. THRIVING ON HIS WORK. During tho last few weeks Play On has been allotted stronger 1 work than usual and it evidently agrees with the sou of Philanior, for he is thriving better than ever. Although better developed than others of the same age at headquarters, Play On is still flowing, and for that reason he may require plenty of time before he reveals his best form. When sprinted over a couple of furlongs earlier in the season this youngster snowed speed above the average and a good future looks assured for him.

YEARLINGS NAMED. Mr, F, Armstrong, of Akitio, has given the name of Cherry Plum to the rising two-year-old gelding by Bonn Pere from Cherry Pie. The juvenile is a half-brother to Cherry King and Jack Horner. Cherry Pie is a daughter of Elyaian and Cherry Blossom, the latter including in her captures the Winter Cup of 1910. The name •lane Seymour has been claimed for a rising two-year-eld bay filly by Beau Pere from Wood Pulp. Owned bv Messrs. J. T. and P. A. O'Neill, who race L-owenberg, it is likely that this well-bred youngster will also be trained in Taranaki. G. Price, of Kandwick, will have a high-priced rising two-year-old to mould into shape for the coming season, as he has received for Mr. K. •!. Watt, of Sydney, The Squire, a son of Iteau Pere and Helen, who was purchased for IOJOgs by Mr. Wutt at Trentham,

NEWCOMER TO ELLERSLIE. The two-year-old colt Saccone, formerly trainee} at Takanini, is now located at Ellerslie, where he will be prepared for future engagements by H. Nesbit. Although his racing lias been limited, Satcone displayed promise when he finished third to Royal Bachelor and Wildtiower in the Victoria Handicap at Ellerslie last March. All going well, this fellow should develop into a good three-year-old. THE RENNIE FUND. A year ago the Ellerslie jockeys held a ball at St. Mary's Hall, Ellerslie, the proceeds of which were donated to the fund for crippled children. Encouraged by the success of that function, the boys, with their organiser, Mr. Gerald Stead, held a highly mux-awful ball last Wednesday night, niid the proceeds are being given to the hind being raised for onp of their own boys, W. Ronnie, who had the misfortune to be seriously hurt at Ellerslie at Christmas time. The hall was packed with enthusiastic dancers, and among the guests was Dr. A, McGregor Grant, representing the Auckland Racing Club. In connection with this fund, subscription lists have also been out, and a substantial amount has been raised, with still more to come in.
