SHOWING ABILITY The Surveyor gelding Gold Land is being prepared for the approach" ing jumping season by M. O'Connor, nnd is showing promising abilitj 7 " for a beginner. When tried on the flat Gold Land showed any amount of pace in his races; while the fact that lie can handle soft going will be an additional asset. TO RACE AT AVONDALE E.

The daughter o1 Lord Quex was schooled over hurdles recently at headquarters anc gave a first-rate exhibition for £ novice. With the speed that slit possesses Lady Ex should be capablc of paying her way in hack hurdle events later on.
