LATE SPORTING

ON ELLERSLIE TRACKS A QUIET MORNING. GAL SOL OVER THE BATTENS. [Special to “Northern Advocate.”} AUCKLAND This Day. No. 2 grass track was available at Ellerslie this morning, but there was very little doing, as most of the horses were having a let-up after recent races. Wee Pat worked over a round, but was not after time, taking 59sec to run her last half-mile. Boat Song and Barn Dance were timed to run the last five furlongs of their work in 1.5 2-5. There was little between them at the finish. Air Lassie and Ornamental completed a six-furlong task in 1.18 3-5, the former pleasing the better. Gold Pocket and the Romeo —Akahau gelding traversed the same distance in 1.18. They went from a straggling start. The two-year-old Tidalia was going easily while running home from the three-furlong post in 42 l-ssec. Hawthorn did useful work ove& a round, running the last six furlongs in 1.25 1-5. Roman Mascot was allotted half a mile, covering the distance comfortably in 55sec. A Valkyrian mare in the same stable reeled off three furlongs in 40 4-ssec Imamint worked on the tan, hitting out very freely down the straight. The Jumpers.

to j Gay Sol cleared four hurdles, giving :e a good display. This novice is showing as a fair amount of promise, e- Glenhaupo shaped well over a couple of of pony hurdles, which he cleared twice.
