(By Telegraph.) : (Special to "The Evening Post.")

NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day.

.Though many" of the New Plymouth horses are still away at Auckland, the track'has been bearing quite, a.lively appearance with preparations for the Otaki and Waverley Meetings, The Swell is looking bright and well and hitting out freely. He gave a splendid exhibition over four fences, in company with Spanish Prince, on Thursday morning, taking the obstacles in great style; So far he has never started in a hurdle race in the. Dominion, and his initial effort will be watched with - a lot of interest. • •'• '■■'.' The big two-year-old Tea Tray—Rebekah filly Kaimiro, .who'had to be eased upin her work after the parade at the Taranaki Hunt Meeting, is moving freely enough at present, though .she. has not been asked to do anything serious. There, is no doubt about her quality, and all going well she should make her'appearance before Christmas. .Royal Bengal is beginning to assume a racing appearance, but will require a little more time before being at his best. ,R. Johnson has taken a lot of trouble with him, but it remains to be seen 'whether, he can make this unreliable son of Chief Ruler produce his best with the colours up. ' Easter Time is having an easy time, and has brightened up a lot during the last week. With the return of the warmer weather'he may improve and «how a.re-. turn of hit two-year-old form. .■ . Gold Dawn made manifest that she has lost none of her pace by reeling off a nice six furlong* o'a Thursday morning in. Imin 18iec. This mare certainly seems much improved, and should be in great order for Waverley on Labour Day. Her stablemate, Singer, is also doing nicely, aud will be ready to play his part at the Bame meeting. . •-.■!'
