Surveyor and Spanner have not reached Trentham, biit word from Woodnlle states, that there has been a lot of rain there and , the Stead team has not had the galloping that could be desired. Aroythas is reported to haw done a great gallop at Biccarton oh Thursday, when me three-year-old was timed to run a two seconds better trial than Karo. . Rose Wreath has done a lot of work at Trentham and shr regularly beats anything she goes with. .This morning the Kilbroney filly was much too good for Mascot and Snub over .10 furlongs which was easily the fattest gallop of the season. , . , . , Reports are in circulation here as to phenomenal sprints Arrowsmith has been doing at Tauhorenikau in preparation for the Wellington meeting.
