JACK TAR.

A GOOD FIVE. HORSES AT TAKANINI. Although tlie giouiul had dried coilsiderdbly since Tuesday the going was still heavy on the outside grass track, whicli was open for fast' work at Takanini this morning. Among those to please was the .Jellicoe Hundica.p candidate Jack Tar, who was responsible for the best five turlon»rs. Milanion also impressed.

I nver (.Coleman J ami To I'oto (k'ursona) covered five furlongs in 1.7, Inver doing t'lie better of the pair at the end, finishing in front. (jleneonnell (Green) was fcnt, over the name ground, coining home over t'lie last lour in 52 3-ss, finishing well. Gladynev (McTiiviah) had the measure of Sunolu (Smith) at the end of live furlongs in 1.7 1-5. .Vnniarn (Gray) went almost nix fm longs, running the last liv e in 1.1), being eased a good deal in the stivti«ht. Klood Tide (Parsons) cantered round to the tinee-furlong pout and came home in 41s. Gay Movie (Cleaver) again hit' out well while running half a mile in 53 l-ss. Oielio (McTavish) traversed Kve furlongs in 1.7 3-5, moving very freely throughout. He gave the impression that lie could thave done a good deal better.Tip Toes (Green) was not unduly bustled to run the ia.s<t six of seven furlongs in 1.26. Proud Fox (Smith) was holding Kajanya (McTavwh) safely at the end of five furlongs in 1.9. There was lit'tle between Milanion (Beguley) and Marie's Acre (Bartle) at the finish of five furlongs in 1.5 4-5, Milanion being a shade in front at the post. Xoisy Xight (Parsons) ran his lust three furlongs in 41s. Tellsoni (McTavish) and Princess Yal (Parsons) covered half a mile in 535, with Tellsoni about a length in fron.t at t'lie finish. Hunting Bee (Kingi) ran three furlongs in 40 3-os, Kentucky (Green) and Payette (Spinley). with their riders sitting against them, taking 435. Buccaneer (Parsons) and High Crown (Hat'well) covered the last five of riix furlongs in 1.7 4-5, both working freely. Silver Glow (McTavish t had a couple of lengths to spare over Philcoui* (Bartle) at the conclusion of six furlongs in 1.23. Inquisitor (Th6mson), working sluggishly, took 1.12 3-5 to cover five furlongs, while Jack Tar (McTavish) and Birthday Boy (Fearn) both impressed by covering the distance in 1.5 2-5. Jack Tar, on t'he outside, worked very freely, while Birthday Boy gives evidence of a quick return to form. Bachelor King (Bartle) was too good for Vualsstar (Kingi) at the finish of three furlongs in 40 2-as, upon which the former could have improved.

Romani (Green) and Saccone (Curwen) were together at the finish of half a mile in 53 2-08. Lapidarian (McTavish) covered a mile in 1.52, doing his work well. Gamos (Thomson) and Te Kawiti (Fearn) ran half a mile in 53 2-as, the foi-mer impressing moni'. Te Kawiti afterward joined Queen City and the Solicitor-General colt (Mclnally) at barrier practice and shaped well. Lovaals (McTavish), The Dozer (Green), Grandora (Paisons), Xightbeam (Cleaver), X i«-ht Pilot (Logan) and Kuni Kuni (Smith) were Bent away from a barrier start. Lovaals and The Dozer were tflie quickest to begin, and drew clear of the ofcheis to cover their first two furlongs in 25 4-s*. The Dozer wu the only one to continue on and he completed 'half a mile in 53 2-as.
