[Per United Press Association.!

WELLINGTON, January 18. Only about a score of visiting horses have arrived at Trentham, and there was unusually little galloping this morning for the final trial day. Alosb of t]je local horses were sent against the watch on Saturday, and their work this morning was principally at easy to strong pace on the plough and the course proper. Both were fast and were available for work (if not otherwise stated) on the plough. Lady Pam and Spear Lad did a couple of rounds together at strong half-pace. Actaeou and Rulanut also did pace work, the former sprinting home from the three furlongs in 38sec and the latter in slightly better time. Admiral Drake and Royal Limond did a couple of rounds at hall-pace. The Cup candidate looks particularly well. Princess Argosy also worked, hut at an easy pace only. Anemometer started in front of the three furlongs post and could not be timed, but she stretched out nicely. On the course proper courtyard caught and beat Gold Trail home by a length, Princess Bell being two lengths hack at the end of half a mile in 47 4-ssec. Heremia and High Comedy did easy pace work only. Grand Lahu was being eased up to beat Lady Reno by a length at the end of five furlongs in Imin 3 2-ssec, the last half in 50 3-ssec. It was an attractive showing, as Lady Rene is well at present. Tea Chat had no trouble in beating Palermo by a couple of lengths at the close of half a mile in 49 l-ssec. Flower shaded Shootist at the end of six furlongs in Imin 17sec, tho last half in 61 3-ssec. Lavington and Oration ran the last three furlongs of their work comfortably in 40 4-ssec. Royal Saxon and Nea Lap did a complete round on the course proper (nearly ten and a-half furlongs), running the last mile in Imin 44 2-ssoc, and the last half in 51 3-ssec. They finished together, but looked to have had enough at the close. Compris went over a similar course alone, doing the last mile in Imin 47 4-ssec, and the last half in 53see, but he was full of running at the end. Great Star did about a mile and aquarter on the plough, taking Imin 49sec for tho last mile and 54sec for the last half. He was under a pull throughout. Grand Review and Tea Trader, both looking fit, did three-quarter paco work over five furlongs separately. Aston ran a half mile on the course proper in 51sec, and was blowing hard at the finish. Ruling Light and Irish Chieftain were together at the end of six furlongs on the course proper in Imin 18sec. tli© last half in 50 4-sscc. Both look in good trim. Autopay was keener to work this morning, hut was not allowed to go till well into the straight. Gay Court, whose leg swelled yesterday, showed no sign of lameness in a couple of rounds at a strong pace this morning. Up till noon to-day there had been no scratchings for 'the meeting.
