(By "Limited.”) The weather was squally and boisterous this morning, but the tracks were in very fair order, and some interesting work was done by horses engaged at Easter. ... _ C.

They ran round live furlongs in liuin sscc, Reremoana doing really well. . Lady Desmond and Lady Bentmck also used the course proper to run seven furlongs, doing it nicely.

Violet 11. has been returned to her owner, Mr Donald, who has sent up another English-bred mare in Prophet’s Mark to O. Cox to be tried out. A number of trotters have already arrived for the Hawera meeting. Mr Johnston, Avith Respect, and Mr T. Roc, with five, arrived from Auckland last night. Messrs Monk and McKay have arrived from Blenheim Avith throe horses.

Onward, by Hallowmas —lona, has been placed under C. Jackson’s care. Onward wans responsible for paying a big dividend at New Plymouth at Christmas time, and has since won a couple of races at the TJruti Beach. C. Jackson has reluctantly come to the conclusion that it is useless to persevere with Eerie as a racing proposition, and, rather tliau run the rish of breaking her down altogether, it has has been decided to turn her out ot training. This is a great pity, as Eerie during her steeplechasing career prove! herself one of the most brilliant horses over country the Dominion lias produced. With her breeding, conformation and stamina she should prove an acquisition to the stud matrons of the country. Ha worn horses are treated well in the handicaps at Feilding, and the prospects for several look good. Acceptances close on Monday tor Feilding.
