In view of the good track efforts he had been showing recently, the performance of Moreilo at Addington yesterday was particularly disappointing. Driven by his trainer he was worked in company with several horses, but before he had completed half the distance he broke, a mistake which he repealed a furlong further on. and was then pulled up. Later, J. J. Kenncrlcy drove Moreilo alone, but there was no improvement shown, it is hoped that this lapse is only temporary as I.lorello appeared to have the best chance of the opposition which will meet the unbeaten War Buoy in the remainder of the season's three-year-old events. An Improved Performance. Colorado is not regarded as good on a grass track as he is on the dirt, but he won the October Handicap, the principal event a* the Oamaru Trotung Club's Labour Day meeting a year ago, beating Dillon Logan, Gold vJountry and Enawah into tne places. He raced at New Brighton at the recent meeting, after he had shown good track form at Addington, but chat he is approaching his best again . he demonstrated by the way he completed his work at headquarters yesterday morning. He has only to race up to best to be among the moneyearners in the near future. Addington Track Notes. The Addington track provided good going yesterday, but it was not as fast as it has been lately. A cold wind did not assist in making conditions pleasant during training operations, which were of a more interesting nature than most of the recent track work. Brent. Zolock showed his customary brilliance when working over 11 furlongs, the last mile and a quarter of which he did in 2min 44 4-ssec. He took imin 6- .4-ssec for the last half ! mile, 2min lOsec being registered for the,middle mile. Worthy Queen was given strong work over two miles in 4min 57sec, and Agile was allotted a mile and a half at three-quarter pace. Jimmy de Oro was worked a mile and a half, taking lmin 7 3-ssec for the last four furlongs. Desert Maiden registered 2-ssec faster over a similar distance, and Somerby was given useful exercise without the hopples. Vesuvius was sprinted over a quarter, eased up over the next half to register lmin 14 l-ssec. and sprinted again over the final half in lmin 6sec. Indianapolis led V/ilma Dillon most of the way of a two-mile journey, but they were practically on terms at the post. Indianapolis registered 4min 48 2-ssec. after taking 2min 24 3-ssec for the first mile. Social Pest and Sir Gowan were comnanions in a bout over a mile and a half in 3min 39 3-ssec. the last half mile in lmin 11 3-ssec. General Wrack and Argolis x were let off with an easy two miles in smin 10 2-ssec, while Silver de Oro and Belinda were also let ofl lightly with a mile and a half in 3min 36sec, th: last half mile in lmin Bsec. Garner trotted a mile and a quarter in 2min 57 2-ssec, taking 2min 20 2-ssec for the last mile.

George Key Works Well. Starting off nearly three seconds behind Camera, who led Chef, Apex, and George Rey from the mile and a quarter post, the last-named was a length in front in 2min 52 4-ssec, when the line was crossed, from Apex, who was well clear of Camera, with Chef two ■ lengths further back. Camera took this company, to the six furlongs in lmin 48 2-ssec, and to the mile in 2min 21 4-ssec, shortly after which George Rey and Apex had the othex'3 beaten in a smartly run half mile. George Rey went on for another half mile in lmin 5 4-sse'c making his time for the final mile 2miu 11 2-ssec. Cloudy Range paced well unhoppled over a mile and a half in 3min 25sec, taking lmin 7sec for the last four furlongs. A Pleasing Effort. Colorado was sent over a mile and three-quarters, being accompanied by Checkers for the last 10 furlongs, but Checkers was beaten off over the last furlong. Colorado took 2min 17 l-ssec for his first, mile, 2min 50sec for the mile and a quarter, 3min 22sec for 12 furlongs, and 3min 54 4-ssec for the distance, his last half mile in lmin 4 4-ssec. He paced with plenty of dash all the way, and did his work really well. Cannonball led Brentlight over two miles in 4min 43sec, the first mile in 2miu 24 2-ssec. The trotter won by a narrow margin, but in comfortable fashion. War Officer joined in with this pair over the final mile and u quarter. Fairyland, who is looking particularly well at present, trotted solidly .over a mile and a half in 3min 41 2-usec.

Rare Pronto and Royal Drusus, followed by Clem Dawe, Emmeline's Last, and Morello, went away from the mile and a half post in that order, with 2sec senarating the leaders from Morello. Rare Pronto led past the half mile in lmin Bsec, and to the six furlongs in lmin 44sec, just before which stage Morello broke. The mile was passed in 2min 15 l-ssec, and Royal Drusus had just headed Clem Dawe at the 10 furlongs in 2min 50sec. From there on Clem Dawe did best to win in 3min 25 2-ssec from Royal Drusus and Rare Pronto. Morello had broken again at the end of seven furlongs, and was pulled up. Sister Mary led Blandf'ord and Attorney for a mile, after which Blandford and Attorney headed the mare. Blandford reached the post a narrow winner from Attorney, in 3min 32 3-5 sec; Sister Mary co\ r ered the first mile in 2min 24 4-ssec. Attorney's time for the distance was 3min 31 3-ssec.

Good Trottingr. Norman Fox and Nelson's Boy were companions ov«r a mile End a half run in Smin 39sec, the last half mile in lmin 10 2-sscc. Norman Fox was going very well at the finish.

They raced in Indian file for a mile and three-quarters, where Free Advice shot through fast, and was in front at the finish in 4min 39 3-ssec. Mountain Dell, who had made the pace most of the way, was just behind Free Advice, registering 3sec slower, and Royal Again paced in better style than usual, after a tangling start.
