WORK AT ELLERSLIE

(By Telegraph—Press - Association.)

AUCKLAND, This Day.

The weather was fine for the final gallops at Ellerslie but a very-heavy fog hung over the course .until about 8.30, and all fast work was done after that hour.1 The No. 1 grass track was open, while the hurdles were erected on the outside of the course proper. After the heavy rain the ground was sodden, but some good efforts were recorded. Those to impress most on the flat were Baroscope, Tradesman, King Rey, Good Hunting, Lord Val, Horowhenua, and Rebel Chief. Among the hurdlers Stanchion and Karangapai pleased most, while Pahu, Clan Ronald, and Royal Limond were responsible for a good showing over the steeplechase course. ..■■■.

One of the best efforts over a round was Baroscope's, who beat Kiltowyn in lmin 55 2-ssec, the last seven furlongs of which took lmin 33sec, and the final six lmin 19 l-ssec. Baroscope handled the heavy going well but Kiltowyn appeared to be hampered by it.

Monanui beat Royal Potoa' (McKenzie) comfortably over six furlongs in lmin 21 4-ssec.

Chile and Master Musk went a round in lmin 59 3-ssec. Both worked nicely.

Versant, On Parade, and Teddy Boy were bunched after half a.mile, but could not be timed.

Riiri was sent six furlongs and worked with plenty of dash. : '

Tradesman ran five furlongs to, the post in lmin 6 3-ssec, and finished full of running. .

King Rey beat Scotch Nation and Pointless over a mile in lmin 50 4-ssec.

Good Hunting reeled off five furlongs in lmin 6 2-ssec.

Lord Val finished in front of Mercian Prince and Tybalt over a mile in lmin 49 l-ssec. The last half-mile took 54 l-ssec. Lord Val was on the outside, and his effort was distinctly good.

Horowhenua and King Musk went away slowly from the seven-furlong post and ran home in lmin 33 l-ssec, the last of which took.lmin 20 l-ssec, and the final half-mile 53 4-ssec. Horowhenua finished several lengths in front. . ■ ■•

Rerepai was given useful work, completing his last half-mile in 54 l-ssec.

Rebel Chief and Lady , Kyra went five furlongs, the first two of which took 26 2-ssec. and the complete task lmin 6 2-ssec.

Adsum, Cornerman, and United were schooled over five hurdles, .taking 2min 31 3-ssec. Adsum impressed most. ■ •-...■.,

Ruaform and Stanchion were .associated ovei1] the same fences, completing the task in 2min ■27 2-ssec. Stanchion's effort, was very impressive,; and Ruaform also shaped satisfactorily.

■ One of the best efforts of the morning over four hurdles was that of Karangap'ai, who ran right away from Whistling Rufus and Rasouli. The time recorded was lmin 20 2-ssec, and Karangapai gave a bold display.

There was only one school over the steeples, when Clan Ronald, Pahu, Royal Limond, Forest Glow, Domo. and Bells of Bow were sent for a round. With the. exception of Bells of Bow, who came to' grief at the stonewall at the foot of .the hill, they all fenced safely. Clan Ronald was first over the hill, and had a good lead coming to the fences, on, the flat, but Pahu and Royal Limond were right up with him. at. the finish. Pahu gave a good exhibition, \as also did Royal Limond, who-, gave .the. others- a start and was right up with them at the,end..
