The inside of the trial grass gallop was open for fast work yesterday, hat there was very little doing. , Parody was on the coarse. She has grown into a sturdy mare. It is reported that Glooming and Parody -will leave for Sydney by next week's steamer. Their, prospects of winning a raco at Bsindwick in October do not look good, aa both are very backward. Deucalion was going better . than Blno Socks at the end of a solidly run mile, but the time waa far from being good. Paleatrina wae sprinted over a short oourse, and afterwards did some trotting exercise in the middle. Pilliewittkio fthd Mstny Kittle *a.fctled ovar half a mils together and registered fairly good time. Both geldings are in nice health. Hiero and Paul Pry, who were schooled over four flights of hurdles together on Wednesday, and are booked to .leave for Timaru to-niOrrow, were worked, out. Paul Pry galloped a mile, hating Hiero to bring him home over the last seven furlongs. The time was nothing out of the ordinary. Knoeklyn and Sprinkler were not doing their best when they sprinted half » mile together. Dame Straitlaoa wag galloped a>. mue. onss left' the first half behind in faat time, and runhihg on stwugly registered a smart performance for the eisht furlonge. Grim Joke was given a strong vrorkin? gallop over a distance on the sand, and went well. Gfclway and Pamplona wore out, but T?cro not asked to do anything iriOro than trot round the middle. Pamplona was led alongsido his Etablemato. Galway was slightly lij,ifle when he started, and Pamplona was tied up all over, hut they worked their soreness OS before completing two rounds. ' Warseer surprised by defeating Royal .Star over.a tfiile. He i 3 a patchy worker, ebmetimes showing good form and at others goltig lika a duffer. . . WQI Oakland 'was given a short spnnt. Lord Leslie Raltobed. six furlongs.. Sayonara beat Whipcord over a mue, ana did it rs-thtvr comfortably. lied Wink was given a working gallop with Lucinette. Charlatan and Tigerland were oompamoas in a solidly run mile, the time being useful for jumpers. Both were under pressure over tWe last furlong and. Tigerland 'had something of an advantage at the finish. The following horses leave for Timaru to-morrow to carry out their at tho South Canterbury Hunt Club b Annual It a"' Meeting :—Hiero, Paul Pry, Wink-a-Peep, Taralga, Sjriudaßa, land, inoclflyn. Camel Ainble, Red Wink. TROTTING NOTES. ; £xcell6nt nominations have been received by the New Zes-land Metropolitan Trotting Club for its August Meeting.
