FOXHAVEN PLEASES

NEENAH IMPRESSIVE

TRENTHAM RACE TRIALS

Special. WELLINGTON, this day.

The Trentham track was at its worst this morning as a result of heavy rain, and showery conditions ruled during trials. Even with fine weather, the track will be heavy on Saturday.

Tring and Platform were well clear of Bologna after running seven furlongs in 1.48 2-5, the opening three taking 46 2-os. Great Divide and Black Beret kept together over four furlongs in 57 2-ss, and Tifox led Craniond , Bai - over the same ground in 595. The Monarch and Hippodrome worked over seven furlongs in 1.44, the first three taking 455. Foxhaven and Royal Duce took 60s for four furlongs, but Foxhaven. which will be ridden in the Parliamentary Handicap by K. Nuttall, could have done better. Supervision and Susy Lee sprinted four furlongs in 55Js. while Olga's Pal beat Cinna Bay by five lengths in 555. Neenah ran right away from Flying Ace to record 1.29 2-5 for six furlongs, while Gay Chat had an advantage of two lengths from Kronos at the finish of four furlongs in 555. Royal Greek was easing up clear of Haughty Lad after taking 1.20 for five furlongs and Sailor's Song was too good for Broiealice over four furlongs in 555. A number of other horses worked, but their times were much slower.

L. J. Ellis will leave for Riccarton to-morrow with Bruce, which was balloted out of the Trial Plate. Ellis had *er.t Royal Rae, which ia not too sound, home yesterday. Air Acer Piccolo. Amor Lad, and Royal Flight, which all look particularly well, were restricted to pace work. Abdicate is an acception for both the Corunna and Winter Hurdles, but will probably run in the Corunna.

South horses which have already gone homo are Gulf Stream, Baffling. Maggiorc, and Xolco. Sir Percy was so soye that he was unable- to accompany Noko.-.Northern horses which have left Trenthaii include Master Meruit, Brantome, Foxiana, Renascor, Ramicourt. Scratch, Irish Fox, Silver Xote, Derryogue, and Edward.

Town Survey made a better showing than Royal Jay and Brahman over four hurdles. Braham hesitated and screwed at the second fence, but jumped the last two well. Town Survey made excellent showing.
