Black Duke is entitled to his place by his consistent roeord and to the fact tlint ho was beaten bv a neck only by Straighteourse ii» the race twelve months ago with 8-10 on his back. Full Feather will have to be considered it' tho track bo soft. In his previous raco to this, in the big handicap at Dunedin on the second day, ho would have disputed the finish with Hivl Son and The Smuggler but for running off the track at the straight entrance. Ked Racer has only to reproduce his Duuodiu form to be a good proposition, hut ho failed to gain a place at Cromwell last week. _ RanelagTi is not fancied over the distance, and will be better served later in the day. Ttamo is tho form horse, and with a pound less than tho weight he carried in the Peninsula Cup his chance looks very hopeful. Of the remainder, Minerval would he in keen demand should the track not he hard.

TRENTHAM NOTES. YESTERDAY'S WORK. (PBEBg ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, March 16 v One of the heaviest fogs for several months enveloped Trentham tracks this morning, and during most of the time that the horses were working it was impossible to see either horses or tfie index marks. For periods the straight from the three furlongs mark was-clear, but the fog only occasionally lifted along the back stretch. The plough was slower thau yesterday, or on Saturday. Autopay was one of the first horses that could be picked up, running the last three furlongs of half a mile 'in 3Ssec. He is very fit. Weatherstep followed with the last three of half a ntile in 36 l-ssec. Cricket Bat did the last three of his work in y7 2-ssec. 'Sailor's Love, Past Passage and Winsome Ilind did strong pacing only. Clangor iniproved on recent track efforts to beat Courtyard narrowly over three furlongs in 35 4-ssec—a good gallop. All Humbug gave further evidence of forward form by beating Pomp by over

a length in a seven furlongs teat run in lmin 31 4-ssee. Chrysology sprinted five furlongs in the fog all the way. K. Voitre is to ride him in the Thompson Handicap. Monarchy finished half a length in front of Miladi at the end of five furlongs, the last three being run in 39sec. Mullaboden shaded Red top at the end of six furlongs, the last half inile being done in 54see. Inflation, Chief Marionette, Lu Moderne, Chief Clerk, and Blacksmith all did strong pacing. Make Up, who may be racing on Saturday, was half a length too good for Lady Rene over six furlongs run in lmin 20 2-ssec, the lust half mile being done in 54 l-ssec. On the course proper High Falutin' ran half a mile, but could not be timed. :

Arena and Cadland did strong pacing. Fiji does not appear to have been brought down. The most interesting trial of the morning was six furlongs done by Lady Quex and Hunting Cry, the pair being together throughout and registering the goocj time of lmin 16 2-ssec without being unduly bustled at any stage. Gaine Carrlngton and Midinette slipped over three furlongs in 36 4-ssec. Peter Jackson, View Halloo,- Silvermine and Awaken did pacing only. All arc looking in great order. Gay Crest and Fairway ran five furlongs together in the fog, and Tho Quorn and Tout lc Mond followed with a similar task. In the latter trial Tout ]e Mond was in front when they came out of the fog, and had a length advantage aWthe post, but. neither appeared to bo extended. Tobaccoland again went six furlongs under a pull, but could not bo timed.
