SILVER STREAK

Not Going North

REREATU IS IN RAILWAY

(By The Watches.) The surprise of the Auckland acceptances was the absence of Silver Streak from the Cup field. It was announced after the decision not to send Willie Win up. that D. J. EHi« had been engaged for Silver Streak. Ellis ifl thus again left without a mount in the Cup, which he has won two years in succession on Cuddle. Though Silver Streak did not accept for Auckland. there is nothing wrong with him. His trainer, T. Hobbs, stated last evening that the reason for the cancellation of the trip was that he was unable to go with the horse, and the owner. Mr. E. H. Aubrey, was unwilling to send him under any other conditions. Silver Streak will race at Dunedin, Waikouaiti and Oamaru during the holidays. Rereatu In. , . , Rereatu, 8.5. is an acceptor in the Auckland Railway Handicap, not Impasto, 8.5, as appeared in tbe telegraphed list. WORK AT WANGANUI Smoke Screen Well Dominion Special Service. Wanganui, December 18. The feature of this morning’s gallops was a good effort over a mile by Smoke Screen, who cut out the distance in 1.41 3-5, going the reverse way. The son of Limond went the first half by himself, being picked up then by Ilias, and he finished' up strongly to have a slight advantage at the end. He was ridden by Reynolds, a lightweight, and was in close to the rails, but the going on the No. 1 grass track was somewhat holding after heavy rain. Taurangi slipped over five furlongs, in 1.3 1-5, time-which she would have improved on but for the boy mistaking the post, and easing the filly up very appreciably over the last 25 yards. . Imposture and Reipar put m a good working gallop over six furlongs, registering I.IBL Civil hit out very freely in covering three furlongs in 37 by herself / Collodion went half a mile by himselt in 50 i, doing it nicely. After breakfast, Amigo slipped over five furlongs the reverse way without being after time in 1.14 1-5, J-h® a V half being done in 51 1-5. Mr. D. G. Paul now intends to leave for Auckland on Tuesday. AUCKLAND REHANDICAPS By Telegiafh—Press Association. Auckland, December 18.
