Aero King Looks Well

Dominion Special Service. ) AUCKLAND, August 22. Some interesting work was performed at Ellerslie today, in view of the Pakuranga Hunt meeting on Saturday. The No. 1. grass was available for galloping, and among the horses to go well were Llandaff, Royal Message, Calttla Boy, and Golden Pay. The going was holding, and was probably slower toward the end of the morning than earlier. On the Grass. Tybalt covered .seven furlongs in 1.37 3-5, the first three in 40. • Golden Pay easily beat Purple Vermeer over three furlongs in 38 4-5.

Rex Maitland and Sir Cameron were in front of Brazilian after completing five furlongs- in 1.9 3-5, the first two in 29 3-5. Rex Maitland has not raced for a year, but has been working in good style and should riot be without prospects among the hack sprinters on Saturday. Sir Cameron has also been working satisfactorily, and looks like being a good three-year-old. Best Four Furlongs.

Big Bill jumping with groat dash, though he was nearly in trouble when he stood too far off at the second fence of the double. Lovelilt and Mahala led Pyrenees and Searcher over a round of the steeplechase course. Lovelilt went very pleasingly. and Mahala also did well.
