All Irish Schools—Black Marlin's

Effort.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, this day

After something like a month of persistent southerlies the wind has at last changed its quarter, and the result was the heaviest log at Trenthatn this morning that has been experienced prior to a meeting for a decade. As several trainers and jockeys had to leave for the Manawati} meeting the work of a number of horses had to be done early, but the rest of the work dragged on till very late. It was after nine o'clock when the first gallop cOnld be clocked. The weather was clear overhead as soon the fog lifted, and the sun soon broke im the light frost. The tracks, however, were still very heavy, though the going was reasonably good on the steeplechase course along the back, where five- permanent fences are situated.

The first to go over the big fences was C'rovdon (T. Tito), who jumped five while the fog was still thick. He came round fast, and obviously had made no mistake.

The fog had lifted when All Irish (R. Smith) and Black Marlin (F. E. Bakerl took their turn over the same flight. All Irish was iu front most of the way, but both horses fenced faultlessly.

Sky Pilot (Baker), Streamline (G. Ridgway) and Santoft (R. P. Register) were then associated over five fences, and they. too. made no mistakes. Streamline running up to join Sky Pilot for the last two fences.

The last to be schooled over the big fences was Chang (Register), who jumped five obstacles most attractivelv alone.

The finst of the hurdlers to school was Iddo (N. Trillo). who jumped two fences while the fog was still tlrick.

Ethiop (R. Thomson) went over four fences without a great deal of pace on, but he jumped the last beautifully.

Lord Yal (Baker) and Collision (C. McGovern) made no mistakes in a fast bout over four fences.

Donegal (J homsonl jumped four fences and was doing better at the last two after not being too sure at first.

Blue I iger (McGovern) was popped over a couple of hurdles.

l'alui and Billy Boy were given n round on the Hat. Palm finishing well clear after running the laat Bis furlong* in 1.35. Very little of the work on the Hat could he timed a* neither horses nor discs could be seen till the morning was well advanced. Half the galloping had been done when Young Paddon and Laggard were picked up to run half a mile in

Among the horses who were sent along while visibility nil were Southern Blood and Haupangi. Bed Sun and Korero. Arctic King. Greek Gold and Girl Pat. Shy and Rebel Mate. Valmint and Galteemore, and Brazen King and Mother-in-law Brazen King in finishing well clear of his mate appeared to be going verv liicely. and Valmint and Greek Gold aU> stretched out pleasingly. Pontv. picked up by Winoat the five, ran seven in 1.56. the last halt mile in and he was a shade in front at the finish. Legatee Wat Kevival by a length oyer halt a mile in F ,rß t Hand ran six furlongs in 1 30 n indward and Waka taking 1.23>4, the last half mile in 35%5. Boomerang.' who attempted to bolt when taken on to the track, did his last half mile in 565.

The retit of the work was of an exercise na V- ,re ' ae , K all «Ping was ot very little instructive value.
