ON NEW PLYMOUTH TRACK

YESTERDAY'S WORK

(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Even'ng Post.") NEW PLYMOUTH, lGth.Scpt. A heavy downpour' during the night left the New' Plymouth: .track, slightly on the slow side for the work 'this'morning. As usual, the outside of the course proper was open for'fast work. . ' ' Melissa worked early, but her task was uu easy one.- This marc came through her racing at Wanganiii very, well,. and will make her next appearance in the.Flying Handicap at Otaki. ' Green Patch moved very freely over three furlongs in ■ 42sec. • Tangiroa went once round at an easy pace and sprinted down the straight. This half-brother to/Paitoim. by. I'btoa- is- coming on nicely, but he is .to be given plenty of time and will not be asked to race much before- Christmas. - . ■' " ■ Orapai, who is • showing improvement, was, not'bustled over, three •-.furlongs in 44sec. . ■■'~'. ;'.,. '■''"' ~.. . ' Belle.'Star weut oiic'e roivnd at-an easy three-quarter pace. This juave is''doing remarkably well, bu't'nothing serious will be asked of her before her owner, R. Johnson, returns from Australia. Omeo did two rounds of half pace work. His injured' stifle is healing well,-and he hit out freely in his work. Crenua Town and Manly were sent once round, tha last half-mile at a good threequarter paae. The former is developing into a nice horse. As he is fully seventeen hands, he must be .one of: the biggest horses in training at t the present time. Lady Lulu, who was physicked last week, was exercised • on, tho. inner track. She will have an easy 'time until" her trainer, E. George, returns from Auckland. . Gold Dawn, who; joined W. Mantle's team again ;*last : week after ■ a three months' spqll, -w.as trotted twice round. Her trainer „is very pleased at the way she has wintered. , , Moerangi and Singer, separately, went once round, the/last four furlongs at a good three-quarter pace. Moerangi, who is a full-brother to ; Omeo, .is coming on nicely. •'.'.'•. The hunters Ngawhaa and Potency, and the Acre ■ two-year-old Hinepuui, were also worked. Though Te Atiawa has paid up for the Flying at Avondale, it is most probable that his mission will be the sevenfurlongs event. Merry Jest has thrown a fine chestnut foal to Potoa,1 and Amyrin, the dam of [ Melissa and' Bathos, a filly to the same j sire. ' ' • '"■■'.■•'- * I The Hunting Song two-year-old Sparkling Morn has been on^the easy list since I the hunt meeting; but the trouble is not j serious, and she should bo back on the i tracks again shortly.
