Eastou and W. Kirkland, two Foxton spoitemen who had motored thiough for the express purpose' of seeing them exercised, ,-j, ' • , Both these well-bred youngsters have made splendid progress in their early preparation." The fi(ly by lamond from Joan--tax, a sister to Meliaande and half-sister to Jonathan, and belonging tojMr. Easton. lis the more foiwqrd, and heV,owner,|expressed himseU as-well-pleased, witb*tho development she has made since he -.pup chased her *thes last, Trentham slles. The filly has had "the name of Naomi claimed for her, and she will be ready bright and eaily for spring twpJyear-old. events. She looks surci to go fast, she moves smoothly, and her e\eiy action be tokens speed. Mr. Kirkland's filly Link. Divine, by Captain Bunsby from Silver Link, thus half-sister to Silvermine and Whenuakura, was ■ also greatly admired. 'Similarly 'marked to .'Silvermine,'she is a larger-edi-tion and moie like Siher Link than any of that bonny mare's progefcy yet. She looks certain,- with ' ordinary luck, woithily to uphold the reputation of her dam as a producer ,o£ all winners. Another youngster that was keenly in epected by the' visitors was Mr. F. G. Moore's yearling edit Golden Promise, by Limond from Lady Bentinck, who' is under the watchful eye of Oney Cox.

Copey was running well until meeting with his mishap on the first day at Waikato. He jumped evenly on the second day, but the distance did not favour bis chance oE success. Both horses were out doing exercise work on Satuiday, and Copey is ito be given another schooling over the big fences before being taken to Auckland for the Great Northern Steeplechase. Taitoru and Royal Peak were associated on Saturday in a gallop over six furlongs on the trial grass", *-which -was in good order. Commencing smartly, Royal' Peak went to the front and was : length in front at the three furlongs, reached in 38sec. Ta\.toru made up ground on entering the stiaight, and there was little between them at the finishing post. I?uri and Oriel both went attiactively in their allotted pace work and are in capital , order. >
