Hushaway Runs Smart 7f.

Hushaway and Misjudge, rival candidates for the North Canterbury Racing Club’s President’s Handicap tomorrow, made fast time over seven furlongs on the trial grass at Riccarton yesterday.

Hushaway’s halfbrother and stablemate Shipmate ran seven furlongs in better than 1.27 on the same track on Tuesday. Yesterday Hushaway. on a slightly slower surface, recorded Imin 28 l-ssec. With A. J. Stokes up he had a heavier rider than Misjudge, which was ridden by A. H. Eastwood. They ran the last half-mile in 50 l-ssec. SOUND RUN Charlborough ridden by his trainer, R. B. Taggart, led Takatua (G. W. Mein) by a length after running a mile in Imin 45sec. the last half in 50 l-ssec. Charlborough did his work well under a good weight. Time and Tide (A. J. Stokes) and We’ll Find Out (B. Collins) took Imin 48 4-5 sec for their mile and 52 3-5 sec for the last half. Research (R. Murphy) dash-

Skelton) after they had cut out the opening furlong in 12 4-ssec. Hon Roddy shaped well to win the gallop by a neck. The stablemates. Gold Shower (B. Collins) and May Wyne (F. H. Skelton), recorded 51sec for their half-mile. Coral Prince (D. Tucker) followed in 52 2-ssec. and Gingerbread (McCann) in 52 l-ssec. Tixall (R. Moir) and VijayMani (W. H.
