GALLOPING AT AWAPUNI

(0.C.) PALMERSTON N., This Day. Conditions were perfect for galloping at Awapuni yesterday. On the course proper the going was good, and the flags were wide out. One of the best efforts over seven furlongs was that of Renascor and Courting, who were joined by Caution at the six. They ran the first halfmile in 57sec and went on strongly to complete in lmin 38 3-ssec. Gaelic Song maintained an even pace over seven furlongs in lmin 40sec, Colibri taking lmin 43 2-ssec. Myarion and Hokumai were on terms in lmin 38 3-ssec.

Victoire and Elusory --were easing up before they reached the post to record lmin 25sec for six furlongs. Good efforts over five were those of Pitmark lmin 8 3-ssec, War Credit lmin 9 3-ssec, and Manahau lmin 9 3-ssec. Sweet Anne came home easily to run half a mile in 55 4-ssec, and Ringless averaged 14sec to the furlong for a similar task. Squeers and Henry of Huntingdon were a couple of lengths in front of Ara at the end of five furlongs in lmin llsec, Selkirk and Colerica registering lmin 13sec. Flying Spray ran three in 42sec. Gamepit (M. Wright) jumped the country out in the oval, giving another sound display. Corroboree (Bliss White), Quadroon (M. Bowden), and Manteau (D. W. Redstone) were schooled over hurdles.

Clarion Call was given a strong work-out on the course proper and pulled up well. B. H. Morris leaves for Hastings on Monday to take charge of Mr. Frank Ormond's horses. He will train them in Hastings.
