ON THE TRACKS. . AT AWAPUNI. Much useful work was got through on the Awapuni tracks yesterday morning, but there was little demanding the notice of the timekeeper, most of the tasks being confined to half pace, trotting and walking exercise.

Browne’s team, moved freeij, over six furlongs. Suggestion had the better of Santonio at the end of six furlongs, the former getting the better of the start. Master O’Rourke also

It was given out in a Melbourne sporting paper, the “Globe," that D. O’Connor B.Deeley and G. Young were the only three jockeys who had been associated with Gloaming in his wonderful career. Mr G. D. Greenwood, however, stated that a further name had to be added lo the list, (hat ot R, Hatch. He said that Hatch had been retained by him 15 years ago, and ho was of opinion that that joc. key was one of the greatest horsemen ever seen in New Zealand. A return to the saddle of a rider of • Hatch’s ability would bo welcomed by all sportsmen. Apparently another rider has been over-looked, for H. Gray won the A.R.C. Royal Stakes on Gloaming.
