RECENT ARRIVALS.

HUNTING BLOOD FIT.

HUSKIE AND HIRANGI.

ADDITIONAL RIDING ENGAGEMENTS.

Several visiting horses who arrived overnight were exercised at Ellerslie this morning. They included: Hunting Blood, Lucid us, Bryce Street, Kilberis and Pirate King. Strong work was also allotted to a number of other horses on the No. 3 grass track, which provided good going. Bo ce Street, Kilberis and Lucidus were worked separately over about a mile and a half, being speeded over the last three furlongs. J his trio are looking in excellent order after their racing at Te Rapa. Hunting Blood, who is in the same stable, was also given useful work and will strip in great order for his engagements here.

Huskie (Mateer) and Hirangi (Jenkine) completed n round in 1.46 2-5. They ran their last seven furlongs in 1.38. and there was not much between them at the finish. \\ . J. McDowell will ride Hirangi in the Hunters' Hurdles on Monday.

Bass (Jones) and Killadar (Gough) got to the end of a round in 1.47, being timed to run their last seven furlongs in 1.39 3-5. Bads, after doing most of his racing on the flat this season, will contest hurdle events at the Great Northern meeting, a branch in which he has shown marked aptitude previously.

Clarion Call (Lilley) strode over a round in 1.52 2-5. His action was slightly cramped at the start, but he worked freely when he got warmed up, and it is evident that the fall he had yesterday has had little ill-effects. Riotous (Beale) and Royal Limond (McDonald) were going comfortably throughout a round in 1.53 3-5, the last seven furlongs taking 1.44 3-5. A. McDonald will have the mount on Royal Limond in the Groat Northern . Steeplechase. Power Chief (McDonald) hit out freely over a round, taking 1.25 3-5 for the last si* furlongs. This gelding has a nice style of galloping and it will be interesting to see how he shapes over the Ellerslie lountry to-morrow. Additional riding engagements for the Great Northern meeting are: R. Fearn, /ack Tar; S. Tremain, Knight of Australia and Bonnybelle; J. Mcßae, Wee Pat (third day); A. McDonald. Power Chief and Royal Limond: "W. J. Broughton, Disturbed: F. E.
