NOTES FROM ELLERSLIE.

GOSSIP OF THE TRACKS.

* BY ARCHER,

Although there were a good many horses working, the training operations at Ellerslie yesterday did not provide a great deal of interest. One of the best gallops was recorded by Cynthia N., who ran a round on the No. 1 gras3 in 1.51. The last seven furlongs were accomplished in 1.32. and the imported mare moved with plenty of freedom. At present Cynthia N. is as well as ever she has been and it is expected that she will make a decent bid for victory in the Tauranga Cup, in which she is handily weighted at 7.7. She is to be ridden by W. H. Jones, whoso other mounts at the Bay of Plenty meeting will include Modest Boy and Joy Girl.

On the course proper, where the flags were out about 60ft., J. "Williamson's two-year-olds, Kafflight, Trcmetus and Thcspis, wexe yesterday allowed to stride alons over four furlongs and ran the last three ill 41 2-ss. These youngsters are all showing improved condition and should be in nice order for autumn racing. Tremctus is already a winner this season, and, though he is not a prepossessing customer, he is doing well enough lo indicate that he has further prospects when the good ones aia absent. Raf&ight is developing into an attractive colt, and, as he displays plenty oi speed, he may come good when he ie thoroughly matured.

Two of the most recent recruits to the jumping brigade at Ellerslie aro Glittering Gold and the four-year-old gelding by Day Comet from Dolly Clements that is being trained by E. C. Rae. They were given a lesson over the pony hurdles yesterday and both shaped very uatisfactorily. Glittering Gold displaying quite a lot e>f dash in clearing the obstacles. Kerry Dance was another to school over tho pony hurdles yesterday and he also gave a satisfactory exhibition. Kerry Dance is hardening in condition and muscling up nicely and jnay come to hand quicker than expected after the long spell ho had last year.

The two-year-old Oil King, who has been under the care of.J. Gray for the past few months, has been sent to Mr. J. C. Gleeson's property at Olahuhu, ■ where he is to be indulged in a spell. Oil Kins showed floms promise when he won at To Rapa early in the season, but he has not come on as well as expected in the meantime and his latest efforts have been disappointing. The youngster possesses a nice turn of "speed and may make amends , when he comes in again. as he lias not been overtaxed and should come back with renewed vigour after his holiday.

WELLINGTON NOTES,

CONCENTRATE'S PROGRAMME

[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN COH RESPONDENT. WELLINGTON, Thursday.

Practically all the visitors have now gone from Trentham, either back to their homes or to Awapuni. and there was little activity this morning. Historic was given a good, strong working gallop over seven furlongs. He was not out against time, but rolled into his work

Gesture and King Musket went out to stride along on the plough. Gesture was keen to do her best, however, and ran her last three furlongs in 3G|s. Concentrato appeared to be much more free this morning and is making a good recovery from the soreness which became evident on Tuesday as the result of his race for the Trentham Gold Cur.. He will be worked on Saturday, providing all goes we ll with him. If Gray receives his licence in Australia and is not required for any of W. Booth's horses in the Sydney Cup he will bo on Concentrate in that event, if the Trentham gelding goes to Australia. On whether ' Concentrato makes a satisfactory recovery before the week-end depends his -visit to Sydney and also the rest of the Messrs. Murphy's team.'
