LATE SPORTING

GREAT NORTHERN MEETING FINAL GALLOPS [Pjsh United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, June 4. The final gallops in connection with the Great Northern Meeting were marred to a considerable extent owing to one of the worst fogs seen at Ellerslie for years. When work commenced it was possible to see round to the sixfurlong post, but a little later the atmosphere was so dense that gallops over a round and from the old mile post were the only ones that could be timed accurately. Shortly before 11 the fog cleared to some extent, but a large majority of the horses had completed their tasks. The No. 1 grass track, on which the poles were 10ft out, was in use, while the hurdles were erected on the outside of the course proper, but only one horse, Trimmer, was schooled over them. The going was holding, and the best efforts of the horses timed during the morning were those of Notium, Enge, Kilonsa, and Valmint. Flood Tide was brought across by float from Takanini, bub owing to the conditions returned home without being galloped. Land Girl and Kilonsa reeled off six furlongs in limn 19 l-ssec,_ a good effort considering the conditions. Knight of Australia was holding Wee Pat throughout a seven furlongs run in Imin 37 2-ssec, the last six furlongs taking Imin 22 3-ssec. Knight of Australia worked well, and Wee Pat also pleased, Bronze Wing had a good advantage over Bright Idea at the end of six furlongs, which took Imin 24 l-ssec. High Star and Salesman were companions over six furlongs, but could only be timed over the last three, which they ran in 39 2-ssec. Salesman looks in fine trim. Lady England was about four lengths clear of Ennation at the conclusion of a round in Imin 59sec. The latter ap- § eared to be labouring at the finish, and id not impress. Irish Comet and Smiling Thru got to the end of a similar task in 2min. Irish Comet was running on well at the end. Jolly Beggar and All Irish worked over a round, taking Imin 58eec, the former finishing in front. Valmint was clear of Gold Vaals, with Crooning further back at the conclusion of seven furlongs, run in Imin 37 2-sseo. This was a first-rate trial. Jack Tar, with Love Parade to assist. completed a mile in Imin 47 3-ssec, a very satisfactory performance. The Cornwall Handicap candidates, King Bey and Master Bnerly, covered a round in linin's6sec, the former being about a length in front at the finish. The best sprint of the morning was that of Notium and Maori Song, who finished ahead of Prince Acre and Trilliarch over five furlongs in Iminrtsec. The first-named pair impressed by their effort, while Prince Acre also pleased. Enge finished in front of Tybalt over a round in Imin 55sec. The last mile took Imin 46 3-ssec, and the final six furlongs Imin 20 3-ssec. It was the best of the morning over the distance, and the performance of Enge will bring him into further favour for the Cornwall Handicap. Hunting Blood reeled off five furlongs in liti'in 6 3-ssec. He had a bit in reserve at the end. Cheval de Voice beat Huskie, with Killndar and Bass close up at the end of a round in Imin 58 4-ssec. Shy and Alyth had a lot of speed on. Alyth had a shade the best of it at the finish, though Shy was staying on solidly. SILVERADO DEAD SYDNEY, June 4.
