TRENTHAM NOTES

(BY "VEDETTE.")

For a week subsequent to the, Wellington Club's Meeting, there <was practically no activity at Trentham. Only since last Monday have trainers been coming to the tracks, and even now the work is of negligible character.

Grand Knight enlivened proceedings this morning by running half a mile on the tan in 51sec. This horse, with Nadarino, leaves for-New Plymouth next week. The pair will then" come back to the Wanganui Meeting, where S. J. Eeid also has Pantler engaged. Grand Knight claims an engagement in the Taranaki Stakes.

Laughing Prince and Pantler this morning ran half a mile on. the tan in 55sec without being hurried. 'Bdth appear to be well. . • ' ■ '

.■■ Orchid v is working along steadily. He appears to have thrown off his lameness, and may be takenfto the Wanganui Meeting. . '. . ■•

J. Ayres probably will have-Outfit and Matu at Wanganui. They are working along steadily. ■[

Royal Divorce appears to be coming back to racing shape, and is steadily losing his surplus flesh. He had his first sprint this week with the two-year-old Wild Pigeon. .. ' ;

Nearly all the.Trentham trainers have yearlings or young horses in their stables purchased at- the recent sales. Practically all these young horses are: being handled, and are receiving the preliminary part of. their education.
