ELLERSLIE TRAINING.

SOLID WORK BY JUMPERS.

CLAREMORE AND TOWN BEAUTY.

BILLY BOY LOOKING WELL. BY ARCHER. -The tracks ivere heavy at Ellerslie yesterday and comparatively, little fast work wan attempted, most of tlio horses being restricted to useful pricing on' the sand. Tho No. 3 grass wob available for galloping, but tho horses to uso it were not asked for their best, although the jumpers Claremore, Town Beauty and Billy Boy all worked soundly.

On the No. 3 grass Marching Song (Ryan). On Approval (L. Dulieu) and Hawthorn (Buchanan) ran four furlongs very comfortably in 58 2-ss. Marching Sons and Hawthorn continue to do well, and have both been working very satisfactorily. Good Idea (Mcßae) and Neil (light boy) were associated over a round in 1.57 1-5. Tliey ran tho last three furlongs in 46 3-5s and Good Idea was going very easily at the finish. Good Idea is steadily improving. and Neil is also progressing. Neil should bo a better horse at Trentham than ho was at tho Great Northern Meeting. Kiltowyn (Wiggins) sprinted four furlongs in 56 l-ss. Ho vas easing up at the finish, and would have had no difficulty in improving on tho time recorded. Kiltowyn will bo ready to race early in tho new season.

Claremoro (L. Dulieu) and Town Beauty (E. Manson) covered a round and threo furlongs in 2.3-1, running tho first round in 1-51 1-5 and the last three furlongs in 42 4-ss. Claremoro worked well, and Town Beauty also accomplished the task very satisfactorily. These horses are booked to raco at Trentharr. next month, and both should be in excellent .condition if all goes well with them from now on. Billy Boy (Ludlow) encompassed a round in 1.50 2-5, running the" last sis furlongs in 1.25. Billy Boy is looking and working well, and should be very fit if required to race at Trentham.

On the sand Corinax did strong work over a couple of rounds. Corinax is thriving splendidly, and should be in fine trim for the spring campaign. Ho is to race at the Pakuranga Hunt Meeting in August. Another to do useful work on the sand was Croupier, who ia looking a picture. Croupier has developed into a very strong horse, and he lias done so well lately that lro is expected to show an early return to form when ho resumes racing. Others to perform serviceable tasks included Sunny Sky and Master Lu. Sunny Sky is thriving splendidly, and should be even belter next season than previously. It is probable that A. D. Adams will leave for Sydney "with her 011 July 22.

B. ROSEN IN ENGLAND.

SUCCESS IN ROYAL HUNT CUP.

Rosen, who for several years was in Auckland, is now riding in England and met wi,th unexpected success on Tot aig in the Royal Hunt Cup, the big sprint handicap at Ascot, 011 Juno 1">.

Ho rode Merry Damon in his three victories as a two-year-old at the Ellerslio Summer Meeting in that year.

Duller, ran in April the Fifth's Derby, and was ridden by B. C'arslake. He is by Dawson City (son of Spearmint), and ia owned by an American, Mr. V. Emanuel.

WINDFALL FOR TRAINER.

GIFT HORSE'S TRIUMPH.

A windfall of £4OO unexpectedly camo tho way of tho Victorian trainer. C. Brown, after Royal Banquet had unexpectedly won the Wanda Steeplechase at Caulfield on June 13. When he reached tho course Brown still held a lease of the gelding, but a few minutes before the race started, the owners, Messrs. C. B. hollow and W. McCulloch. presented the gelding to him. It was a generous gesture, as a lew minutes later Royal Banquet had won £4OO in stakes alone, and there was a gieat opportunity to win a small fortune lot a meagre outlay, as one or two bookmakers almost vainly offered 100 to 1 about tho gelding at barrier riso. Royal Banquet was a failure on tho Hat. his only success being a email race at an unregistered meeting near f-eelong but later ho won over hurdles at "Woodend. lie has now scored throe wins for Brown. As a yearling Messrs. kellow and MeCulloch purchased Royal Banquet pnvately for nearlv 2000 guineas, but he never returned them any of his purchase money when he raced in their colours.

Royal Feast and, Mercian Kin" The former was the. champion twoyen "old of his year, 'winning more than £13.000 in stakes for four wins and so\eial minor placings.
