Roseal had no companion in his work over a mile and a half. It wa3 evident from the start that the gallop was a searching one, as he was sent along at top for the first part of the journey, and he accomplished a milo and a quarter a tick under 2min ISsec, and the full distance in 2min 42Jsec. The colt did not finish too well, but this may be acounted for by the fact that he made the pace very fast at the start, but after he pulled up he was not distressed. The gallop, therefore, must he recorded as a good one, and the best of the morning. Gist cantered mid finished up strongly. Wonderful and Cfiain Guard finished fast over six furlongs, (he former being a length in front at the finish. Antigone and Bayonet performed useful work.

NOTES. Kelburn did not make his appearance on the tracks «t Riccarton yesterday morning, and it became known that he was very sore on tho hind fetlock joint. There are doubts about liis starting for the New Zealand Cup, Pallas was in evidence at Riccarton yesterday morning, when he workfe with Canteen, and moved freely, but his off fore leg has filled to an extent that has caused his trainer some anxiety. After his gallop with Canteen he moved off the course freely, and is evidently in good heart, so that hopes are entertained that he will fulfil his engagements at the forthcoming meeting.
