NOTES FROM ELLERSLIE. GOSSIP OF THE TRACKS. BY ARCHER. There were a couple of gallops on the outside of tho course proper at Ellershe yesterday morning. Wenday and Namutere ran seven furlongs nicely in lm 38s. Fair Abbey galloped a mile in lm 52a. Tho No. 3 grass was availablo at Ellerslie yesterday morning and some useful work was accomplished. The Nassau— Mountain Dream filly beat the Archiestown —Wee Rose gelding over three furlongs in 42 !J-sh. iiilluto strode over four furlongs in l>7 2-sa. Schofr went nicely over four furlongs in 53 2-53. Royal Picture hit out freely with Best Boy and the Some Boy ll.—Blushet gelding over four furlongs in 56 l-ss.

Several horses were schooled oyer hurdles at Kllerslie yesterday. Passionate (W. Fielding! shaped well m a lesson over the pony hurdles. King Selwyn (W. Fielding) jumped the same fences twice without mistake. Day Bell (A. Rutherford) went boldly over tho pony hurdles. A number of Auckland horsemen will be riding at the Marton spring meeting next week. H. Wiggins has been engaged to ride Beaumont. Rnhepoto, Inner Harboxir, Gurnion. and Orma, R. McTavish will ride Jemidar and Wilderness, and C. Brown will be on Tame Fox. Tho three-year-old filly by Nassau from Mountain Dream that is being trained 1)5 W. H. Patterson is doing very nicely. She hit out well enough'in a short sprint yesterday to suggest that she may be useful later cn. A. Julian left for New Plymouth yesterday with Fair Abbey and Wenday. who are engaged at the North Taranaki Hunt meeting, to-morrow. Fair Abbey took no harm from his fall at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting and galloped a decent mile yesterday. _ Both horses should take a lot of beating in their engagements.. The hunter Brown Heath, who was going well when he fell in the Paknranga Hunt Cup. went amiss in that event and may net race again for some time. B. Cox. with Rahepoto and Orma, and C. Hodder, with Schorr, left for Feilding yesterday evening: The horses mentioned are en. gaged at the Marton spring meeting next week. " It is understood that Rahepoto. who has two engagements on the opening day of the Marlon spring meeting, mav be started in the Marton Handicap in preference to the Spring Handicap. On paner his chance in the Spring Handicap, which is a hack event, looks the better, and perhaps nothing definite will be decided upon until tho day. H. Wiggins has been engaged to ride him in the Marton Handicap. H. F.va expects to leave Te Aroha to-day with Ring Potoa, who is engaged at . the Marton spring meeting. He purposes taking Flying Juliet and Luxurious with him also, and -will take the trio on to- Wanganui. Flyins Juliet and Luxurious are not engaged at Marton. Tho Taranaki hunter Luoiiwl made amends for his two failures at Ellerslie by winning the Hunt Cup at Hawera . oft WedneVav. was soine particularlv well in the Paknranga Hunt Cup when he fell and would probably have been hard to beat if he b»d stood up. The Auckland horseman R. E. Thomson, who has been riding particularly well lately. piloted Lupineel.
