TRENTHAM TRIALS (Special.) WELLINGTON, July 13. Although the weather has improved, the track at Treutham was still heavy. Nevertheless, there was full work this morning, the four tracks being in operation. Foxhaven, one of tho favourites for the Parliamentary Handicap, gave Paladeo a break of several lengths on the trial grass (which was ivell cut up) ta be a handy pacemaker at the post, running the last half-mile in 53sec.

Later the pair ran half a, mile on the trial grass in The Auckland contingent arrived by boat last night, having been aboard since Sunday afternoon. Erndale looked none the worse this morning, but Skyetto is reported to have suffered on the trip. It is uncertain which race Erndale will contest. If tho Winter Hurdles, he will be ridden by L. C. Brown, and S. Green will have the mount if he runs in the Parliamentary. Mr W. E. Hazlett stated this morning that both Noko and True Range will.run in the Steeples. The former will be ridden bv R. Beale and the latter by T. J. Boyle. Khurja was scratched at 4.45 p.m. yesterday. Kanui te Pai is viewed as a doubtful runner.
