RAIN AT WINGATUI
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.") DUNEDIN, This Day. Though the opening day of the Dunedin Spring Meeting is only three days away there was little interest taken in the few horses who worked against the watch this morning. Heavy rain early in the morning made the tracks a trifle slower and would do the course proper a deal of good. Delrain (H. Powell) jumped three hurdles at three-quarter pace and hit each of them fairly hard. Vantoon (J. Richards) gave a much better display! in a similar task. Darieu (H. Powell) and Song Boy (W. Cooper) jumped two hurdles along the back, but the pace was not on. There wer^ only two gallops against time. Moneyless recorded lmin 18sec for six furlongs on the outside of the inside grass track, and Valantua, who jumped off at the nine furlong post, ran the last seven furlongs in lmin 32 sec and the last five furlongs in lmin 3 3,ssec. . !
