TROTTING NOTES. (By "Sapling.") | Victoria Park presented quite a busy scene on Sunday morning, wuen most of the local owners gave their charges work on ithe well-conditioned track. Miss Marion, and Young Ivy were worked in saddle and both . moved well, the latter showing a partiality for unruly behaviour at the start. After two or three round at half-pace, the ifcwo hopped off at the two-furlong mark and in a smart run to the finishing peg Miss Marion won out nicely by a length or so. Morgan has Little Rose again on the track. She looks a bit poor after her recent foal and she will have to improve a lot ito win another race. She was given plenty of slow work. Mr. Shields is putting plenty of work into his Peterreta maiden. This youngster is losing some of his greenness and is shaping iato a fine trotter Elicel (LawTence) was worked in saddle and shows wonderful improvement since last meeting. Although still a bit on the green side she is improving a lot in her legs and if kept sound till Christmas Messrs Ag new aad Lawrence may get some re turn for their work. D. Greancy gave Ethel Whispers a few circuits of steady work. She trotted well. B. White tad Arran Lad in harness and the son of Wood Whispers looks to be in great fettle. Over two miles he will always be hard to beat, though old Inquisitive would keep him more than busy if Ted Richardson could only keep him down. The latter gave his charge some useful work and when the son of Rothchild did behave himself he showed a clean, set of feet to Arran Lad. But he is too unreliable in, harness, and I think Ted is wasting his time in this direction. Saddle is his game. McWhinney gave M. Kennedy's Taipanui several circuits of slow work in harness. This youngster has filled out well and has developed a .very square style ithat points to better things in the future. That erratic customer Fleetwing gave an exciting exhibition of buckjumping yesterday morning. He was to be worked in harness by R. Castle, but before the latter could board the sulky he* bolted. Using his hind legs freely he got rid of the sulky, after going a mile, and then pulled up near the entrance, where he was caught. Needless to say the sulky was kicked to pieces. I • ithink Mr. Wright will find it hard to get a rider or driver at Christmas. . FRENCH TURF ENTERPRISE. PARIS, November 19.
