The track proper a t New Brighton is very hard at the present time, and unless lain isills before next Thursdav the openiUK clay <>| the Clul>\ Summer Meeting, it v. ill be very fast, but vt-rv du«tv.

"Kilbiogan and Kilbov, the colts from Showan 0 and Cvre respectively. who were in M. Hobbs's establishment till recently, aVe now trained at Ponriia by J. Prosser. It is thought that there the beach and hill work will l>e more suitable to horses oIV their conformation.

A special meetina: of the Smith Canterbury Jockey Club was held on Saturday atternoon to discuss a motion by Mr Alex. Scott that the New Zealand Racing Conference be urge<l to discontinue racing during the continuance of the jvar. There were fiftv present Hi* question was discussed at considerable length, and Mr Scott withdrew his motion in tavour of an amendment by w Cray. that racinp be reduced. Air J. W . Kelly's amendment that the question bo held over for on that day twelve months, was defeated, and .Mr Cray's amendment was tarried by 3'J to 18. F. McGrath, who has been holiday-

making since the Melbourne Cup Meeting, returned to Sydney recently, ami no doubt within the next few days ft decision will be arrived at as to whether Reputation is to start work again shortly with a view to the Autumn I Meetings or be sent away for a speil I (?ays the Sydney "Referee",). Since j lie came back from Victoria -the blacK : horse lias spent most of hi« days in a paddock adjoining his trainer's stables, and has not reappeared on itie training track.

Wnrdanopr was slightly bettor than (mkhl iiopi' in a six furlong gallop the revoiM- way in 1.18. Emper.v dor and Xnntlios took 3.17 '2-~> for ir.e vanio. foiirso. but this time could liavo liot-n bottorcd, the first five I'nrlongs bt'ing cast behind in 1.2 2-5. Start worked alone, and .strodo along Ircelv over five furlongs, registering 1.2 ]-j. Dimeter over tho last half-mile of about five furlongs ii. YJ -1-3. Wisobird's task was a working gall(>i> over six furlongs in coic]>any w itli tho San Francisco three-yeiir-old San Sebastian. Warstep, carrying plenty «1 w eight, and Snub, who was ridden by T. Musseii, .sot out rather slowly <ui a mission over a mile and a half. Increasing the pace at the end of three furlongs, the remainder of the journey was run fairly evenly. The first mile occupied 1.4U 3-5, tho liliie and a quarter iu 2.10 1-/5,. and the full distance in 2.38 2-o. Glee and Ardenvhor were the first, to commence operations the ordinary way round, and they finished abreast at the end of half a mil© in 51, with Ardervhor doing the work the easier. Scotch Melody took 1.31 1-5 to get to the end of • seven furlongs. Hod Tvnight was slightly ahead of Zuland at the end of a five furlong flutter, though perhaps on sufferance. First Glance, who galloped after the interval, ran a mile very evenly, and got !.-> the end of it in 1.42 3-5. Peronilla finished on well when running six furlongs in i. 1 ■'>, and Hoc did not seem overtaxed m running a similar distance in 1.10. A largo number of horses wove given l.arrier practice, but nor.e of them showed any exceptional promise as beginners. The two Kilbroney colts in M. Hobbs's stable, Jvilboyr.e and Kilkee, ran on to the end of six furlongs from one of the despatches, and the English filly Greenstreet was allotted a similar task.
