(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

BUNEDIN, This Da jr.

There was another : hard frost :at Wirigatui this morning and thosehorses which worked early galloped on top of the ground, but shortly after 9 o'clock light rain commenced falling and made the going slippery, and slower; ■

Ventrae ran over half a milo in 60sec, under restraint all the way. Sungem and: Lyeidas were sent over six furlongs in Imin. 23 2-ssec. The latter was going better at the finish.

Lady Kate took imin 26see to cover the same distance, but began slowly.

Bed Eve and Great Weather- were; on even terms at the end of five furlongs covered in Imin 10 l-ssec.' .

Osculate, working- by himself, Tan seven furlongs in. Imin 39 l-ssec, not ridden out. • .This horse looks particularly well. ! . '. . ■.. ■■ - ■

Drawbar was going better than Braw' Lad at the end of six furlongs covered in lmin 24see. • '■•■"• ■

Salmo Salar and Flying Amy finished together ; at the end.of six furlongs. The last half-mile was run in 59sec. . -■■■.'

-Tippling, on the inside, made'early pace from Gustavo and Palmary, when they jumped away from the nine-furlong peg. Palmary quickly drifted to the rear and at the end of half a mile, Tun in 59see, was five lengths to the bad. Gustavo joined Tippling at the end of five furlongs,: Tun in lmin 12sec;.and then Palmary began to close up thegap. Six furlongs took lmin 25sec, and Palmary joined: the other pair as they turned for home.. Gustavo, who was in receipt of a stone from Palmary, stuck to his task well- and though Palmary was ridden out Gustavo had a (good head advantage at the' post; The nine furlongs- took 2min 8 4-sscc." Tippling was not far away. "

Tizzy was only playing with Jaunt over five furlongs, run in lmin 11 3-ssee. ' Mobile, by himself, ran five furlongs ia lmin 5 l-ssec and was doing it nicely all the way.

Jacobin and Dodge were on even terms at the cad of five furlongs run in lmin: lOsec. , Garrish, who arrived overnight from the' south, and Grand' Finale.were both sprinted down the straight. Cultivator, .Dunmure, and Umtali were schooled over the- steeplechase fences.'Cultivator and TTmtali led Dunmure over two furlongs along the back and were then pulled off. Dunmure continued on and, considering it was his first effort over the water jump, took it well. At the first fence of the brush double ho slipped but made a good' recovery and jumped both fences well. They then sent a couple of circuits at three-quarter pace. On the flat, Saxophone easily accounted for Amy Johnson over six furlongs in lmin 24 2-ssee. Graball jumped two fences along the back well and was then pulled off and given a round and a half on the flat. Knoeklong sprinted over three furlongs attractively in 41sec. Blatherskite shaped well in a halfmile spin, which took 55 2-ssec. Calham and Quinopal were given three rounds on the flat. The latter has done well since the Invercargill Meeting and looks bigger. Calham appears to be on the light side for a steeplechaser. ' Water Power had Palantua for a companion over five furlongs. Neither was ridden out to run tho distance in lmin 7 2-ssec. It is reported that Water Power may not be a starter in the Tradcsmer's Handicap on Saturday. Meadow Lark was schooled over two hurdles along, the back, jumping care-, fully and slowly. Giggleswick was sprinted down the straight and appeared to handle the going well. Master Anomaly began slowly but finished up strongly at the end of five furlongs, covered in lmin 8 l-ssec. Vocal and Brown Pearl were sent over five furlongs, but after travelling fast along the back were going easily down the straight, the journey occupying lmin 13 1-osec.
