ELLERSLIE NOTES

BRILLIANT GALLOP BY AUSSIE Dominion Special Service. Auckland, December 20. Very heavy overnight rain made the tracks dead this morning, and trainers were evidently disinclined to stretch their charges right out.

They were close together at the end. Lomint ran six furlongs in Imin. 22see. Royal Flower beat Critique in Imin. 22 l-ssee.
