NAPIER PARK CANDIDATES

(By Telagraph.). ' (Special to the "Evening Post.") HASTINGS, This Day. The final trials for the Napier Park Meeting were done this morning, but the gallops were not very instructive, as in the majority of cases the horses were not extended. Silver River and Gascon Chief, neither at their best, took 38sec for three furlongs. Monarchy, looking very much in the rough, occupied lmin 46 sec for once round and was not impressive. Quake, hard held back to Glen Rossie, ran five furlongs in lmin 4Jsec. She is a possibility for Saturday. Blue Shirt, moving short in front, took 2^ sec for two furlongs. Refulgent did a working gallop over half a mile in 55sec and is an outside possibility for the maiden on Saturday. Caen, who is on the big side, was not extended over five furlongs in lmin Osec. Carrying Saturday's weight, First

Chapter beat Lavina by half a length ever five furlongs in lmin 4Jsec, but the former got a- break o| two lengths at the start.

Red Rufus showed decided improvement in jumping three fences, but there is room for more.

Sardius did an easy three furlongs in 41sec, and he is a very fit horse. Maahanui surprised by running half a mile in 50sec, so may enter calculations on Saturday.

Black Frost led Trailer easily all the way over five furlongs in lmin 4jsee. He has been an expensive betting proposition, but looks like getting one early now.

Passion Flower, giving away, a stone, accounted for Slippery over half a mile in 51ijsec. Doing their level best Count Siegfried and Barley 'Almond took 51 sec for half a mile.

Servitor, the best of the Hastingstrained youngsters, easily ran three f urloQgs in 38sec. Quirrlper and Mary Rose took 39sec. Taupiri held Awanga safe over half a mile in 52sec, with the former going easily throughout.

Still suffering from shoulder soreness and having to be warmed up for the task, Pakanui ran half a mile in 50Jsec, the best of the morning on the plough, which Was not used a great deal. . • ■

At Gro«BJneadows, Werohia, giving away two stone, was beaten by Captain Furst by a length over a mile in lmin 47sec. Lord Hereford, fit as a fiddle, outjumped Sybilsong at each of six hurdles. EnVidette was defeated by Mahala easily over six furlongs in lmin 19sec. The latter is a maiden outside possibility. .

Lucullus Lad, with a two-stone advantage in weight, easily accounted tot Essex over six furlongs in lmin 18sec, the best of the morning. The former has yet to race up to his reputation, but his turn appears likely to coma soon.

Mata Hari, not extended, beat Tahoma over half a mile in 52sec. Tha former is very well.

Granvale, who has done mostly hill work lately, was brought to the course and ran five furlongs in lmin 9sec. Ha looks backward.
