WORKERS AT AWAPUNI. SOME ATTRACTIVE EFFORTS. (By “Binocular.”) Conditions were excellent for training operations at Awapuni this morning, although the horses were running into a strong wind coming up the straight. Whereas last week the fast gallops were undertaken next the rails on the course proper, the flags were on the extreme outside this morning. Collodian (S. Anderson), who was prevented from starting at Marton, has made a good recovery from his indisposition. He. was accorded a sprint over three furlongs, coming homo in Husoes. Esteem (S. Anderson) and Raparahara (L. IT. Jones) wero together half a length in front of Hauwai (W, Broughton) after running a mile in 1.49 2-5. They ran the first two furlongs in 27 4-ssecs and five in 1.8 1-5. Catalogue (Chisholm) had Lord Moutoa (Voitre) as a partner over six furlongs, the former travelling well within himself at the close after running the distance in 1.22 3-ssecs and the first three furlongs' in 41secs. Sweet Music (W. Broughton) and Flaxen (L. 11. Jones) finished better than Bee Acre (Tatersall) at the close of a mile. Thoy jumped away slowly and, timed from the seven furlongs post, ran 1.37 2-5 after taking 55 4-ssecs for the first _ half mile. Bpayline (S. Anderson) registered ait attraative effort whon ho beat Palm (Y\. Broughton) by a length. They ran their initial furlongs in 13 l-ssec, three hi. 38 4-ssecs and six in 1.20, Body line finishing strongly. Good Hunting (W. Broughton), who lias not been reproducing his track eflorts with the colours up, boat. Rcreatu (Voitre) over live furlongs in the good time of 1.5, the chestnut having an advantage of a length at the post. Rerepai (voitre) and King lhqmond (Wyncl) kept on terms throughout in a five furlongs sprint, running the distance in 1.6 l-ssecs. , The only gallop ox ecu ted on the plough was that between Invert'd: (Anderson and Calydon (A. McDonald). The former had a slight load throughout and ho held on to it to bo a neck in front _ at the finish after running six furlongs in I.4<J. Inflation, who showed signs of soreness in front whon he pulled up after a gallop last Tuesday, has mado a good recovery and, all going well, lie will shortly bo accorded his first outing for some time. Prior to the mishap he had bcon displaying much of his old brilliance, and it is to bo hoped that his owner will gain a reward for his patience. THE TWO-YEAR-OLDS.

Severe (W. Broughton), the winner ot the two-year-old race at Marton, ran halt a mile in 53sccs. The Limond filly was staying on nicely at tho close. Going Gay (Chisholm) and Corroborcc. (Farland), two youngsters from L. Wilson’s stable, ran threo furlongs m 41 4-5. They got away slowly, hut the latter, who is a brother to Round Table, finished the better although he still shows signs ot greenness. Both are growing fast and they are not being hurried meantime. Martial Lady, a chestnut filly, by Lord Qucx from Dominant, by Martian—Lovelorn is another member of L. uson s team. She is a shade small meantime, bin, is growing and time may bring her added inches. She is a full-sister to Haka who proved to be the best two-yeai-old m South Africa last season . ... TT Legatee (Voitre) and Alchemist (L H. Jones) jumped away from beyond the two furlongs peg to speed up in tho stiaight and conic homo in. 27 2-5, both fimshmg quito attractively with Legatee a shado in Round Up (Anderson) and R °™P al ?"| (W. Broughton) registered 25 1-5 foi two furlongs. The former, who is- a brother to Body line, was in front at the post and it is evident that ho possesses tho family speed. Unfortunately, he also may lack something in inches. Pomposity (Voitre), alone, ran two fur longs in 27secs. This three-quarter sister to the Sydney winner Peacemaker and a close relative to BUxtcn, Wheviko cto, may take longer to come to hand than the other local youngsters. Symcony was unfortunate enough to ieccivo a kick on the knee from a Passing horse tho other morning and it has halted her preparation meantime. However, she showed little sign of the incident trotted on one of the nmei tiacks tins morning. It is uncertain whehei she will race at Wanganui. THE JUMPERS. Sandy Dix, L. Knapp’s new arrival was iumped over a round of tho battens by C. Thomson, giving a display of quick jump “liorrath (C. Broughton), who suffered a fall yosterday, negotiated a round of the hurdle fences quite satisfactorily tins morning. , , ~ , Mr G. H. James, who owned that useful ’chaser Accrvatc, has secured a fullsister to Skyrider and he had her at the tracks yesterday morning tor tiio hrst occasion.
