-—: o — WANGANUI TRAINING NOTES. (BY TEI.EOQAFII —SPECIAL COIIRESroSDBNT.) 1 ' . Wanganui, March' G. d A cold wind was blowing when training a operations commcnccd .this ■ morning. Tho . work done was of an uninteresting characi tor, many of the horses which had raced s yesterday being, left in their .boxes., , J ' Glenculloch and Millionaire wore tho first t to appear. They were cantered round to . the half-mile post and raced homo together. 0 Glenculloch had tho best of the go, tho time . 0 being. 52 l-ssec. Both horses were, raoed 0 well out from the rails, so'.the time was r satisfactory. Glenculloch. escapes a penalty in to-morrow's contest for, tho Jackson [ Stakes. , . . |J . Happy Maid was sent - once round at a u solid pace. She will be started in to-mor--0 row's hack race over a mile and a quarter, ; and if slio shows no ability to" stay may be e retired to tlio stud. v 0 Cachuca was given trotting exercise only, as wero Mahuta and Uhlando. The latter j will bo ridden by F. E. Jones in the Wanganui Stakes.» '. I, Marguorito was allowed to gallop over the 1 last four furlongs of a mile. She , shaped , pleasingly, and was anxious to increase tho ' pace. Maui and Ataahua were given light tasks. '' The lattcr ( is. engaged in a fiat race to-mor- '* row afternoon. , ' , Taitoko did two rounds at a slow canter, and Mon Ami was given n similar task. 1 Gravitation was looking very fit, but was j only allowed to go along at an easy gait. Prism,'who has recently been purchased by j" Mr. W. Smart, beat Mulga Bill in a four furlong flutter., ; Aorangi, who ran a good race behind J Ataahua in the Hack Hurdles on Thursday, ' looked-none the worse for his exertions.. , 0 ; Irish Rifle, Kitchoiunaid, Moscow, Vasn, 1 and a few others did useful work. 11 - ■ 'i : r~ — , ® , WANGANUI J.C.

Uhlando, winner of, the Wanganui Cup, i is by Uhlan —Revanant, by _ Nelson, from a, daughter of Musket aud .Atlanta. S. Waddell took Zimmerman and Kairoma j homo from Wanganui on Friday. Both 3 horses ran badly ,on Thursday, and'Waddoll 3 thought it was useless keeping them for the 3 second day. • s Taitoko was obviously not himself .when he f galloped so poorly in the Juvenile Handicap t on Tliursday. Ho appeared to ba very nert' vous when he went out for the- race. ; ■ . j - 3 J. Rae took his horses home from the } Wanganui mooting yesterday. Gold Laco 6 . was expected to run .'fairly in the Juvenile 1 Handicap, but bo jumped over the rails as 1 soon as tho barrier.,was released. - Motoa was very unlucky in-tbo Flying Handicap at Wangaaui,'on Thursday. Ho 1 got- away very, badly, and, though ho put, in a terrific run, he could not got near enough v to Gold Thread to make anything ■ liko a r 'finish. . Rangipapa went a trifle, lame at Awapuni t last week, and was consequently not taken 3 to'tho Wanganui meeting. *
