USEFUL TASKS EXECUTED. HUNTERS JUMP COUNTRY. The r>ost interesting featura of the training operations at Ellerslio yesterday was a good exhibition of jumping over the steeplechase lencos by Odin. Scaramouche, Freyja and Absent. The other work Accomplished was mostly of the useful order and the hcrses who were allowed to run along on tho No. 3 crass wore not looking for time. Details of the work are:— NO. 3 GRASS. Principal strode over four furlongs at threequarter pace and Eager Hose went six furlongs in 1.23. Eager Roso is in nice order to go ahead with a preparation and should come to hand quickly. Subeditor and Diznrro covered six furlongs in 1.25 1-5. Subeditor is carrying a very bright appearance and may provo useful in hack company in the new season, *■ Wold Country and Thunderstorm ran fivo furlongs in 1.9 1-5, while Maori Boy strodo along for seven furlongs in 1.50. Great Emblem and Informant reeled off threo furlongs in 40 3-ss. Great Emblem has wintered nicely and should make further progress in tho next few months. Milvano and Operatic strode over six furlongs in 1.23 2-5. Operatic is well forward and may lot<o his maiden status early in tho new season. His form in the autumn was very encouraging

Day Form and Lady's Boy went four furlongs in 55 2-53. Lady's Boy is moving with more freedom than ho has done for some time and T. Davison may. yot succeed in getting him back to form. THE JUMPERS.
