LATE SPORTING

WELLINGTON RAGES TRENTHAM TRAINING NOTES (Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, January 21. By this morning nearly all the visiting horses lor the Wellington Meeting this week were on the scene at Trentham, and there was any amount of short work, but trainers for the most part were not interested in time performances of their candidates. It may be assumed that all serious final galloping'had been done on homo tracks. The weather was fine early, with dry tracks again, but after the main part of the work bad been completed heavy rain sot in afresh, and fell for oyer an hour. Later in the morning it was again brilliantly fine. The course .proper and the trial grass were used for galloping, most of the work being on the former, on which the distances did not appear from the times to he correctly flagged. On the trial grass Red Sun was going better than Sunee at the end of six furlongs in Imin ICsec, the last half in 51sec.

Dombey, who looks well, ran half a mile in 51sec.

Cyclonic went seven furlongs in Imin 28sec, the last half in 50 2-ssec. Knockout and Spiral finished clear of Rocket at the end of half a mile in 48 2-ssec, the pace being too fast for Rocket. Silly Owl and Back Thrust ran half a mile in 50sec. Severe was always too good for Abdication over three furlongs in 38sec. Hunting Bay and Palatinate sprinted six furlong in Imin 15sec, the last half in 50 2-ssec. Burnish and Mother Superior both moved- well over half a mile in 49 0-ssec.

Tout le Monde and Invoice took 50 3-ssec. Gay Marigold did seven furlongs comfortably in Train 29 2-ssec, the last half in 51sec. Probably the most instructive trial of the morning was five furlongs on the trial grass by Princess Doreen (S. Wilson) and Diatomous (P. Atkins). The pair remained together for about three furlongs, hut then Princess Doreen moved away clear and Diatomous got back on terms at the post only on sufferance. The time was Imin 3see, the last half being run in 49 4-ssec. Vinco, a four-year-old half-brother by Grand Knight to Wasteland, who may have his first start in the Trial Plate on Thursday, continued the recent rapid track improvement he has been showing by beating Fersen and Arouse very decisively over half a mile in 49 2-ssec, Lucidns led Silver Streak at the end of half a mile in 48sec.

' Nightlass was always in front of Fulojoy over a half in 48 l-ssec. Hot Stuff ran five furlongs alone in Imin 7 2-ssec.

Colombo, Eprjs, and Wino ran a half in 50sec.

Most of the other horses with engagements werh out working, several clocking 49sec or better, but they were going singly and their connections were not interested in the times recorded. Star Artist, Royal Artist, Grand Jury, Cherry King, and Limulus were amongst those galloped yesterday. Star Artist and Limulus, who is quietly fancied by her party for the Stakes, both went attractively. At noon to-day there were no further scratchings ; but it is understood that Cadbeen will not be on hand. The Australian racing men, Messrs E. Moss, H. W. Mackay, G. N. Magill, H. M'Lcan, G. R. Price, J. T. Cush, and W. Booth arrived by the Mannganui this morning and will be present at the Wellington Meeting. YOUNG SOVIET ETHICS “ TWELVE COMMANDMENTS ” The Warsaw ‘ Isvcsiia ’ has begun to publish articles discussing the moral ethics of Soviet Russia’s younger generation. Preliminary to a general discussion, the paper brings extracts from the diary of a young girl who mentions that she changed her name from Eurfrosims to Zozia because the former name was unfashionable. In her diary the young girl wrote ‘‘ twelve commandments for a young girl.” They are as follow: —

1. Learn how to lie everywhere and to everybody except to yourself. 2. Don’t attempt to be different from others; rather appear modest and. ordinary, but in reality try to placo yourself on a higher level, and influence others without appearing to do so. 3. Do not get excited anywhere, about anything, or anybody. 4. Love no one but yourself. Feign love and friendship with others. 5. If you must surrender yourself to a man, only do so for a very good icason.

6. Take tile maximum, give the minimum.

7. Flatter, tell other people pleasant things. Feign that you aro gentle, but in reality disdain other people. 8. Make profit of everything and everybody you meet; pave the road to your success with everything and everybody. 9. Appear to be delighted with children, but never have any. 10. Speak about ideas, enthusiasms, and other ‘‘ politgrammatica,” and remain cold when they attempt to “ inflame you for action.” 11. Learn how to get money out of everything and everybody, even a piece of wood.

12. Feign that you know everything when you know nothing, and that you know nothing when you know a lot.

Tim ‘ Jsrcstia ’ believes that an interesting discussion will result from the publication of this remarkable human document. v
