ACCIDENT AT AWAPUNI

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

PALMERSTON. N., This Day.

With the going good and the flags well out on the course proper, there was some interesting work at Awapuni yesterday morning. The horses that were engaged at Otaki on Saturday were among those on the easy list.

Three furlongs in 39 l-ssec was recorded by the youngster Pickmeup; and Hot Shot, from a standing start, required 42 3-ssec. Hot Shot is a brother of Ringshot, and he is recovering from a cold.

Dungarvan and Dawning Light were companions in a six-furlong flutter. They reached the three-furlong peg in 41sec and completed in lmin 23sec. It was^a good effort, particularly on the part' of Dawning Light.

The Crooner and Laughing Chief were together just in front of Bluffer at the end of a three-furlong scamper, the time being 38 3-ssec. These youngsters are coming along nicely.

Patter and Black Fox have rejoined the active brigade and they were given a "pipe-opener" over three furlongs.

Miss Pango and Padnos galloped a mile. The first five furlongs took lmin lOsec and the full journey lmin 52 2-ssec. Miss Pango had an advantage in weight but she was galloping well throughout. W. J. McDowell will ride her in the steeplechase at Ellerslie. •

D. Mansfield, the lightweight attached to G. W. New's stable, sustained a fractured left arm on Monday when a two-year-old fell on him. It was after the morning work had been completed and Mansfield was riding the youngster back to the stable when he reared and fell back.
