TRACK WORK AT ELLERSLIE. FOR TAKAPUNA MEETING.
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Nov. 24. The weather was fine though dull for training operations at Ellerslio this morning, and there was a fair amount of galloping by horses with engagements at Takapuna. The course proper, with the poles 25 feet out, was available and also No. 2 grass and tho tan tracks. The going was excellent. The best efforts of tho morning were by Ivarangapai, Deputy Ruler, Echo Song and Gay Cockade. When going out to gallop six furlongs Lord Aintroe, ridden by R. Mcßae, tried to get away and commenced to plunge. Over-reaching himself, ho cut right through the boot on one of his forelegs and completely severed a tendon. It is doubtful if ho will ever raco again. On tho course proper On Approval, Hawthorn and Bright Flower, after taking 24 4-ssccs for two furlongs, completed fivo in 1.6. They wore going at top whon they jumped off, and On Approval, who had .tho best of the weights, finished in front.
ICarangapai was to have galloped with Lord Aintree, but owing to the latter injuring himself he worked alone over six furlongs. He ran the first two in 26secs, threo in 38secs, and tho full distance in 1.16 3-5. This was a first-class effort.
Deputy Ruler and Tetrarchato. after running the first furlong in 12 l-ssces completed half a milo in 49 3-ssecs. Tne former was going nicely at tho finish, but Tetrarchato did not work too generously. Tho best effort of tho morning over fivo furlongs was credited to Echo Song, who beat Marching Song by several lengths. She ran the first two furlongs in 25 l-ssecs., and tho full distance in 1.2 2-5. Marching Song also worked well, but lost several lengths through stumbling at the start. Gay Cockade, ridden by R. Mcßae, who will be on him in tho Alison Cup, traversed a round in 2.7 2-5, the last seven furlongs in 1.33 4-5, and tho final six in 1.21.
Psychologist was sent over a mile, tho first threo furlongs taking 40 3-s,secs, and he finished in 1.50 2-5. Ho could have done better.
On No. 2 grass, after running tho first two furlongs in 24 4-ssces., Hispania completed fivo in 1.5 l-ssces. On tho tan, Royal Gallant was timed to run tho last three furlongs in 39 2-ssecs., hitting out freely. Imainint, after beginning slowly, ran fivo furlongs in 1.5 4-5, the last half milo in 52 l-ssec.
Tarporley did the samo distance in 1.6 3-5 but was not doing his best, though he finished on nicely. Black Songster ran three in 39 3-ssec. Cynthia N completed a round in 2.1 without being required to do her best. AT TAKANINI. The inside grass, with the polc3 6 feet out, was in use at Takanini this morning. The going was good. Greek Gold, Exaggeration and Holly Lu (Jones) wore companions over six furlongs and were together throughout in 1.18 2-5. Bugle Call and Princess Star, who had the worst of tho weights, finished together at tho end of five furlongs in 1.4 4-5. They could have improved slightly on tho time. C'oronis and Gay Marigold were sent half a mile, trayersing the distanco tho best of the morning. They finished together. Reviver begun a length in front of Prolyxo and High Comedy at the five furlong post. After going three the other pair went through, High Comedy finishing just in front of Prolyxo in 1.2. Royal Artist, who had Lady Carrington as a companion over the last three, pleased in running seven furlongs in 1.30, the last five taking 1.4. On the plough Palaca ran the last half mile of his work in 52 3-ssecs. Great Emblem and Eldora were companions over seven furlongs in 1.33, the last half mile taking 52secs.
