THE BUZZER STILL IN

WORK

Dominion Special Service.

PALMERSTON N., January 14. Awapuni horses claiming engagements at the Trentham meeting were given their tiual gallops this morning. Operations were commenced ini ideal weather. The report going the .rounds that The Buzzer had broken down is without foundation. After the Auckland meeting he was given a few days’’ rest, but is now worked late in the morning. Looking well, he traversed a couple of circuits on the plough at an easy pace. Ecstatic (Tattersall) went nicely over five furlongs, the last four in 52. Ecstatic looks in capital order for coming engagements. Parean (Stewart), under restraint, went freely over half a mile in 54. The Bigot (Tattersall) was allotted a seven-furlong gallop, registering 1.33 3-5. There is nothing amiss in his condition.

Oratory ( W. J. Broughton) and Laughin- Lass (Tattersall) were responsible for a very pleasing effort in reeling off six furlongs in 1.18. Both finished with a good deal in reserve. Copy Cat (Jenkins) left five furlongs behind in 1.8. Lady Ina (Jenkins) had Sporting Gif ; i (Kauake) as a partner over five fuilongs in 1.5 1-5. The former .held tie advantage at the finish. Sporting Litt, however, was not bustled over the last bit They are well tipied up. Dainty Sue (Tattersall) moved in very free style over a round. An improvement has been worked in her appearance during the past week. Cuddler (Broughton) strode over three furjfings in 43, the last two m 28. Ted Prior (Chaplin) and Tail Ligh. (Anderson) were associated in a usefu. six-furlong run in'l.l9 2-u, the first half in 52. The former in particular bears a

vastly improved appearance. Golden. Ridge (Tattersall) continues to perform attractive work, and it will not -be for the want of condition if he does I not race prominently in Trentham eni ga-gements. He was accompanied by iSevfried (Jenkins) in a seven-furlong i gallop. They ran albreast for three-parts of the trip, when Golden Ridge showed |his superiority. The time was 1.34 2-5, ' the first five in 1.5 *l-5. Tidal Gift (Broughton) and Warehi were restricted to a six-furlong gallop, cut out in 1.22 1-5. The former is making headway. , ~ , Chevychase (Templeton) was well clear of Ofi’lament (Ireland) at the close of

five furlongs, run in 1.8. White Gold (Ireland) galloped witn freedom over six furlongs, coming home the last five in 1.5 4-5. Caution (Rael and Deflation (KHminstcij strode leisurely over four furlongs in 55 3-5. ' Both Corroboree and Catalogue are putting a lot of dash into their work, and they look the picture of health. Catalogue is thriving on the tasks allotted him during the past week, and it now looks as if lie will take a prominent part in the finish of the Wellington Cup. In company. thev traversed a mile in 1.47 i, and did it well Corroboree, who finished in front, should get some money at the meeting. ~ Thrasos (Ireland), looking well, was running on solidly over seien furlongs, the last three in -12. ~ Brazil (Ireland) was oust clear ot Bumble (Broughton) at the finish of six furlongs in 1.19 1-5. . Old Bill (Tattersall) finished strongly over five furlongs in 1.64. He will be produced on. t‘he second day at Trentham. Luke Wilson has his charge in good racing shape. , , , Florence Mills (Bowden), under a strong hold, went five furlongs in 1.6. When she strikes a firm track some money will come her way. La Bru (Tattersall) was too smart for Vascbnes (Chaplin) and Newbury Queen (Broughton) over half a mile in 52 3-5. There appears to be a good future in store for La Bru. Entheos, Clarion Call, Aurorae Love and Aurora's Star were given light tasks.
