WINGATUI TRAINING NOTES.

YESTEEDAY'S OPEEATIONS,

(Pcr.Upited Prtss Association.)

DUNEDIN, Oct. 7,

The . weather was slightly chilly at Wingatui this morning, and a goofl breeze sprang up towards the end of training operations. . .

Battle Eve and Holiday galloped hair a mile in 53 sec. finishing together.

First Flight and Quarantine worked at the mile just breaking 1.29.

Snub' and Spangle cantered on the grass, and Bonny Dream and Wishful were allotted a similar task.

Marvelight traversed five furlongs in 1.61-5 on the plough, and Margaret and'Uranean ran half a mile in 52 2-5.

Encore and Don Francisco were put over six, furlongs which they covered in 1.19 2-5- .

Neither Golden King nor Red Charm was fully extended while travelling five, furlongs in 1.9 2-5.

Moulu worked steadily over a couple of circuits, and Warstep and Chrysotia were trotting and cantering.

. Noves, Downsteepy and the Down-Bhire-Cyre gelding, were to break away from the half mile on grass,, but the start was mulled, and the gallop over three furlongs did not furnish a correct line to the merit of . the trio. Noves, however, is obviously smart to begin, and as far as could be judged put up the best display.

Martius and Findhorn worked stea»ily over a cireuit> and then covered a mile, at a fairly solid pace. After a •breather they were again cantered. ~ Waitara and Carolus covered six fur-

longs in 1.18 3-5, and Slogan worked stefadily over a couple of circuits.

Peerless took 1.20 to cover six furlongs, and Troon registered 1.36 2-5 in getting over the last seven furlongs of a- mile. • Rencontre and Lion broke away at seven-* furlongs. Disc and Former were showing to advantage throughout a gajlop' which occupied i; 34 after the .first half had been left behind in 50 1-5 sec.

Silver Shield and Beldena ran five furlongs in 1.7.

Others out before breakfast included Moonglow, Victoria, Horoscope, Parable, Speedometer, Kirn, Roumaln^a, Volspil and Sauce.

After breakfast Carpet Knight did usual work. ■

Chicic ran five furlongs in 1.0 4-5,

United Service was not bustled when getting over half a mile in 57sec, and Russo followed at a more leisurely pace.

Ogier stood Birkbeck three or four lengths at the start of half a mile, and after picking up Taft ran home in front in 50 1-5.

Kingsway and Moddie ran half a mile in 51sec. the latter doing its best towards the finish.

Rongahere drew out a bit from Pride 0' Clutha when winding up a seven furlongs gallop, the last six taking 1.22.

Red Pennon shaped fairly well in galloping six furlongs in 1.21 1-5.

= Ardenhor and Blitz after trotting and cantering worked half a mile on the grass in 55 2-5 sec, the latter shaping more freely than the former.

Gnome cantered a couple of circuits, and Lord Frederick and KiaoTa were schooled over the hurdles. The latter ran off at two fences, and the former after dwelling a bit at one obstacle and getting up. too high, at one crossed the last couple of obstacles in fairly good style.

Cardiff, St. Aidin, Leading Lady, Bon and about a dozen others not engaged at the meeting were also on the track.
