GREAT NORTHERN MEETING THE FINAL GALLOPS [Per Umteo Press Association.] AUCKLAND, May 28. The final gallops for the Auckland Racing Club’s Great Northern Meeting were held at Ellerslio this morning in fine weather, with a largo attendance of spectators. There was a lot of interesting work, including schooling over hurdles on the course proper and steeplechase country, but the jumping was not up to the standard of previous years. The No. 1 grass, on which the poles were 10ft out, was available for the fast work, and the going was excellent; in fact, it has never been better for this period of the year. Good efforts were recorded by Crooning, Scotland, Royal, Appellant, and Knight of Australia over the distance, while fast gallops were registered by the sprinters. Among the jumpers, Jolly Beggar, Scotch Nation, and Royal Limond pleased most. On No. 1 grass, Teddy Boy did a round in Imin 57 3-ssec, the last six furlongs in Imin 23 2-ssec, in good style.

Rercatu, after running the first three furlongs in 38 l-ssec, reeled off six furlongs in Imin 17 l-ssec, one of the best gallops of the morning. King Tut and Sehrof did five furlongs in Imin 4 4-ssee. Both carried failweights and were running on strongly. Mainland and Te Money jumped away in front of Landlubber at the Jivefurlong post, and the first-named was just in front of Landlubber in Imin 3 3-ssec. Persian Lady and Solas, after traversing the first three furlongs in 40 3-ssec, completed six furlongs in Imin 19 3-ssec. Grateful worked steadily over a round, which took 2min 4 l-ssec, coming home over the last half-mile in Sosec. Gold Mission and Mustang ran half a mile in 49 4-ssec—a smart effort. Survey, who followed just behind them, completed a similar distance in 48 4-5 sec—the best of the morning over the distance. Te Hai, after commencing slowly over a round, finished the task in 2miu 4 l-ssec, the last half-mile in 54soc.

The jumpers Sporting Song and Saltspray started off for a school over four hurdles on the course proper. They jumped safely till reaching the third fence, where both lost their riders. Sporting Song was remounted, and jumped the last, but Saltspray was not persevered with. Yal Watch was given a similar Task, and, jumping well throughout, registered Imm 20 4-ssec from hurdle to hurdle. Illuininagh and Kanapa shaped well over the same fences in Imin 19 4-ssec.

LONDON, May 27. (Received May 28, at 11 a.m.) The first sensation of the day was Tolley's lapse against the AVelshman, Roberts. Tolley went out with a majestic 36, and then there was a landslide in Roberts’s favour, Tolley going all to pieces. Roberts’s three putts at the seventeenth permitted Tolley to square. Tolley missed a 3ft putt at the eighteenth, but at the nineteenth he sank a seven-yarder for the match. A great crowd accompanied Ferrier against Braddon, a member of the advertising staff of a London evening newspaper essaying his first championship. He plays a beautiful ball and is very accurate in approach play. Both went out in 38 and turned all square. Ferrier lost the next three holes, being off the line with his drives, but won the next two through Braddon taking three putts at each green. Ferrier holed a four-yarder at the fifteenth and a three-yarder at the sixteenth to get halves, and downed a four-yarder at the seventeenth to square the match. The eighteenth was halved when Ferrier failed to sink a 3yd putt. Both had magnificent drives at the nineteenth, and both superb seconds to 4yds from the pin. Ferrier had the first putt and laid the ball just at the edge of the hole. Braddon seemed nervous and took three putts of short distances, so Ferrier won. He was visibly showing signs of the strain anti said it was a desperate struggle. “ I was lucky to get through.” he declared The Scottish champion, Hamilton, went down to a former Oxford champion. Morrice. The English champion, Bentley, had a vbry tough fight to beat the Irishman, Gill. The defeat of M'Lean in the fourth round was most surprising. Sweeny (a London American) was 3 up at the eleventh and was then dormy 2 M'Lean won the last two holes and halved the nineteenth, but Sweeny won the twentieth. Tweddcll’s defeat was surprising, as ho had just been chosen captain for Britain against America. £ Thomson played brilliantly. He was five under 4’s for 16 boles. Ferrier gave a magnificent display against Howell, who was eight times AVolsli champion. The Australian simply overwhelmed the AVolsh rna n, driving an enormous length, and his second shots covering the pin. Ferrier was out in 34, his figures being 4,3, 4,4, 4,4, 4,3, 4, and turned 5 np. He did the next four holes in 4,3, 4, 4. Howell made some slips, occasionally taking three putts, but he was devastated by his opponent’s finer golf.
