ELLERSLIE TRAINING WORK.

Before the breakfast-hour on Saturday, Hopfield displayed some pace in a gallop, making fair time. ' Housewife, who arrived at Ellerslie with the other members of Alison's team on Friday, was tried in company, but Bedford appeared to be doing the best. However. Housewife pleased onlookers by her general appearance. , Jack Delaval and Lady Penury were others seen out indulging in useful tasks. • *• . After the breakfast-hour, Cadrona, who looks improved after his Southern victories,'! was worked at a sound pace, with Hewitt in the saddle. Torotoro. who is now an inmate of Chis- j holm's stable, having been purchased by. one of that mentor's patrons, was indulged in easy work. * ■" Step, who forms one of Chaafe's team, shaped satisfactorily over a round in company with. Pall Mall. _ ..,.• i Wiri finished up a sprint nicely in company, while Tact and Loyal Arch indulged in useful work. ,","" ; Jocular, Lady Glen, Royal Rufus, Silver Lupin, and Royal Prince were others observed at sound Vrork. _ % . Merry Roe, looking bright, finished, up seven furlongs on the sand at a good pace.; ■ THE FENCERS. -' ' - Y : . Sylvan Knight gave an improved display when schooled in company with Ulster and Tragedy King. The latter moved freely and fenced in capable style. Waimai treated spectators to his usual adept display of jumping when schooled over the steeplechase fences running parallel with the straight. Kaiwhakahaere fenced safely, but appeared uncertain whether or not to clear the water. However, he landed eafely. Spalspire had * Joss as a companion- over the pony and larger hurdles. , Captain Loch displayed much activity in a schooling bout over hurdles in company with Tenacious. Monorail's exhibit "on over hurdles did not compare favourably with that of Gluepot. The former made weak efforts over the initial fences, r and refused the fourth. Fisher took more kindly to his fenceß than in some of his former displays, and gave a fair exhibition when schooled in company with Monathol. . , '; •"*,''" Guiding Way cleared a couple of fences down the back, while Gin Sling schooled over tho fences in capable style.
