ORATES SMART FIVE
(Special from "Hurry On.")
NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day.
Smart efforts over five furlongs by Orate and Clessamor were the features of training operations at New Plymouth yesterday morning. The tracks were in excellent order, both the cpurse proper, with the flags out about 15ft, and the plough being freely used.
Clessamor displayed his usual dash to run five furlongs in lmin 4sec, the first three furlongs taking 38sec. He came through his racing last week in good style. / Namara, with the assistance of Basra over the last half-mile, covered six furlongs in lmin 18sec. He showed a lot of pace to run the first half a mile in 50£ sec, but appeared to be stopping at the end. He will be ridden by P. Atkins at Wanganui. Orate jumped off at the five, and after running the first three furlongs in 37 3-ssec picked up Biddy's Lass and completed the distance in lmin 3|sec. This was a good gallop, and Orate is in first-class order.
On the plough Annoyer completed a round of pace work by sprinting home over the last' three furlongs in 39sec. His two races last week do not appear to have done him any harm. Majority and Ned Cuttle did steady pace work the reverse way. They are engaged at Avbndale. .
