HAWERA TRACK NOTES AND NEWS.

(By “Limited.”)

This morning a number of worses engaged at the Wanganui meeting weic out exercising, but very little tart work was indulged in. The course proper was available for galloping, the horses being allowed the ra j* Brown gave Silvennine and Bisox a strong work-out together, over live furlongs, the pair just getting inside lmin ssees. .. . , , +n Royal Acre and Kalia finished to-n-ether over half a mile in Ssisecs. ° Royal Mint and San Fera jumped oil at the mile post being joined at the half mile by Captain Gazely, Roya Mint and the Captain finished in trout of San Fera, live former .running slightly over the mile in lmin 54secs Polyphemus schooled over three oi the big fences, jumping well. Paitonu went once round at a good three-quarter pace, looking none the worse for his effort last Saturday. J. Dew’s horses Blimp and Broad Acre did a good working gallop over a round. Bonogne was worked at half pace. Partaga and Benzora were also given pace work. Partaga Avail be ridden in Wanganui by B. Morris, J. Barry having been engaged for Covent Garden in the Borough Handicap. P. Mutually who rode Bonogne in The Flying Handicap at the local meeting, is engaged to ride Day Guard in the sprint event at Wanganui. J. Coyle’s team, Keddar, Mister Gamp, Vexatious and Son o’ Mine were taken to Wanganui yesterday. T. Clark also went down with Comical. Guard, Bright Comet, Freeze Out and Dick, go through to-day. The latter who. was looked on as broken down hopelessly after the steeplechase on Thursday, has recovered surprisingly, and hopes are entertained of him seeing out another Great Northern contest.

Hipo and Onward were both in a bad way after the local meeting, and it will be some considerable time before either face the barrier again. Vivo is to be given a well-earned' spell. Although this mare has not always run up to her brilliant track work slie lias won three mile and n-quaa’ter races since Christmas, and finished up her racing sound and well. O. Jackson may give her a.n opportunity of distinguishing herself ever the hurdles I.iter on. v

San F'era’s win in the Hack Steeplechase was extremely popular and it looks as if Martin Conways pa tier ce and perserverance with this fellow are being rewarded. Rereilioana is to be treated to a spell for a couple of months and lias been taken down to Mr. G. F. Moore’s station at ICai Iwi. O. Cox has had the Australian-bred six-year-old gelding, “March” brought in. This is a splendid type of horse apparently up to any weight and should make an ideal hurdler, as he is credited with possessing plenty of pace. Lady Cavendish has in all probability finished her racing career, as she is to be mated with Limond during the coming season.
