TRAINING'AT-TRENTHAM. - ' [By Glencoe.] Fine weather at Trentham yesterday gave trainers another opportunity of getting through their business with a minimum amount of trouble. Very little fast work was indulged in,- the' majority of tho candidates being restricted to useful half to- three-quarter pace work. ; Considerable interest centred in the appearance of the Cup favourite, Miss Mischief: who is looking in the pink of condition. With a light-weight in-the saddle, £he was sent two rounds on the tan at an easy' pace.' This did not' appear to quite satisfy the Treadmill mare,' who was pulling hard the whole/way. . Goldfiudcr (B. Deeley) traversed. "twQ rounds of the toil track, and moved more 'freely than in his-previous, essays.- Other l Cup candidates which did useful work were:. Irariui, Lady Reina, and Merrivouia.

Gipsy Bello and Dearest covered six furlongs on tho grass in lmin. 18 3-ssec. St. 1 elix .was 100 .good for Laius'Dver six furlongs, run in lmin. lUJsec. St. Petersburg finished in front of Aloha over four furtongs (standing start) run in 53 3-ssec. Peter Pan sprinted four furlongs alone. Effort was again, unablo to pace it with Gold Laco .over a short - sprint. Big Blast, the Chokcbore candidate for the Ruapehu Handicap, was hitting out in bold style, and is very well. Among the many others to work were: Tenterhook, Countermine, True Knight, Sharpshooter Nithsdale, Counterfeit, Fasnakyle, Izdu■bar, -Colleen Marv, Orton, Byron, Dir'ecloiro, Mira, Lambton, Ladv Medallist, Sinapis,' Culprit, Sunbonnet, Lady Kil'choraii, First Battery, War Queen, and Sonitc.

After the breakfast adjournment Sea Queen ran tour furlongs in 49soc.—a really good gallop.. Bracken and Whitestone ran a mile in Jmin. losee. The latter finished in front, but the former appeared to ba doing his work comfortably.
