TROTTING NOTES.

NEXT MONTH'S MEETING. EPSOM TRAINERS PREPARING. YOUNG HORSES AT WORK. Now that the programme for the Auckland Trotting Club's one-d'ay meeting in August has been drafted. Epstun trainers are getting to work again on their eligible charges. A good number of novice and improving horses are putting in an appearance on the tracks and training operations will soon be in full swine again. '

J. Gee has taken Kewpie's Triumph up after a. brief spoil, which has had a most beneficial result on , the three-year-old. Kewpie's Triumph, who had a, good deal of' racing during the season just clewed, built 'up considerably while on the easy list and when exercised on Saturday looked a vastly-improved colt. Without winning, Kewpie's Triumph ran some creditable races, and next season he\ should soon get on the winning list. Cleao has»bcen kept going steadily since he# Hamilton outing, but G. Webb has not . sot her -any serious tasks. ' Cleao did not race until the season was -.well advanced and, although she struck tracks that did not/altogether suit her. sho displayed encouraging form. When next asked to iace, Cleao should do much better. Great Fame has again joined the active brigado.at Alexandra Park, and he looks improved as the result of his holiday. Great Fame raced very green in his early engagements, but -he made considerable improvement in the autumn, and showed in his last few races that he-has possibilities. Great E'ame. should pay his away for A. T. Newdiok in the coming season. Student Prince's Progress. J. McKendrick has not allowed Student Prince to remain idle since the Auckland June meetirjjr, and the chestnut pacer will be a fit horse for next month's meeting. Student Prince was raced out of his class at Epsom last month, and was by no means disgraced in the good company he met. With a class to suit him at the first meeting of the new_ season,. Student Prince should have an excellent chance of capturing a stake. E. Sandall mado a reappearance at Epsom on Saturday with Margaret Wallace, who is bearing a bright appearance. During the recess, Margaret Wallace has been indulging in road work and it will not be long before she is ready to tackle serious tasks. Margaret Wallace made sufficient improvement this season to get on the winning list, in the novice class, and there is a chance that she might do still better, although she is never likely to bo good. A 1 Jphn, who was displaying encouraging form for C. G. Lee some months ago. is now under the care of E. Saunders at Epsom. Some time back, as the result of ail accident. A 1 John was thrown out of work, and in the interval has put cn a lot of condition, which will take some time to reduce. The half-brother to Free Advice only requires to stand a sound pre: paration to prove a payable proposition. •C. G. Lee is not setting Win Huon. any exacting tasks, although he is keeping his charge in good, healthy condition. Win Hv.onj trotted several creditable races toward the end of the season .and when next stepped out should be all the better*for his racing. Lee is also educating a youngster by Nelson Bingen from Lenglen, who is showing some promise as a pacer.

• Promising Novicss. F. J. Smith is. educating a quality-look-, iiig Peterwah youngster who claims full relationship to Wall. Unlike Wall, who is a trotter, the newcomer is a pacer. Wah Bhoyved a lot of promise as a three-year-old for R. Fisken, but when .later trained at Addington by W. J. Tonikiiisou, did Jiot make the advancement anticipated. Recently, however, Wah ha 3 won a couple ot.'-minor.' races for S. Av . Eiigan'*and he might. yet make good. Smith's youngster is already showing promise and when more forward he will go South to W. J. Tomkinson. who acquired him during his visit to Auckland last month. .An improving novice, who pays occasional visits to - Epsom, is the Mangereowned Mountain Guide, a sturdily-built'pacer by Blue Mountain King - from Lady Emma. Although he has not yet been asked to display his speed, Mountain Guide has an attractive style of pacing, and gives promise of developing into a useful sort. He will be given his first race at Epsom next month. . . ■ J. Foley, who is now located at Onehunga, lias a stylish young trotter under his charge who looks like developing into a useful horse. Be is by an Our Thorpe colt from Mountain Princess, who was a consistent performer on the race tracks during her short career. The young trotter is a shapely youngster with a bold action. 11l his work he displays solidness that aiikurs well for his future. G. Slubbß, who is educating a fine-look-ing young trotter by Nelson Fame from Annie Emma, haß also taken the youngster's dani in hand to prepare for future engagements. Annie Emma raced a few seasons back for P. Rogers, but did not meet with much success, and appeared a difficult mare to train. Annie Emma is a straight-out 1 rotter. Btnbbs hqpes to get her forward enough to race in the spring. A Well-bred Filly. Y. A young trotter of exceptional promise is the filly by Ilerbihvyn in R. Saunders' stable. She is a free mover and has already shown a useful turn of speed. The filly is bred on excellent, lines, her dam being by Nelson Bingen' from Muriel Dillon. dam of Dilworth. while the sire Herbilwyn was, by Nelson Bingen from Miss Spiers, an American mnrc. Saunders' young trotter claims _ close relationship to that gcod more Native Star. A 0, Hill, having experienced no luck during the last two seasons - with Lady Enfi, is now turning his attention to the education of a neat-looking filly, who is n, half-sister to Mountain Dell. The young pacer claims Peter Mok'o as her sire, but in some respects resembles her high-class relative. She lias a good style of pacing, and should develop speed as her preparation advances.

The disappointing Golden Huia is at present spelliufr, and in hor absence G, F. Loveprove is handling her half-sister, by The Triumph. The newcomer is somewhat on the ftmnll side, but is displaying a good deal of early promise. She haß a good style of trotting, and has already given indications of-possessing a _ useful turn of speed. Providing that she trains on in the risjlit way she should prove a belter proposition that Golden Huia.
