ELLERSLIE TRAINING.

A SOLID SIX FURLONGS.

CORINAX AND MOONFLEET.

HAMPTON PARK'S HALF-MILE. ' BY ARCHER. The feature of the work at'Ellerslie yesierdny wens Bolidly-run six furlongs by Corinax and Moonfleet nnd a smart halfmile by Hampton Park. All the galloping was accomplished on the No. 3 grass, .which wns in good order for this time of the year. The first. horse to use the grass was Patutahi (Cammick), who strode over six, furlongs in 1.30 2-5. Patutahi was .eased up after the Great Northern meeting, but he is again going along satisfactorily in his work and should bo well forward for the spring meetings. Catoma (Dougherty) and Jewelled Girdle (Baker), after running the first three in 43 l-ss, completed six furlongs in 1.24 1-5. Both wore running on well at the end and J. E. Thorpe must be pleased with the progress they have made lately. They should be in good trim to race at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting next month.

Kiltowyn (Parsons), after covering the first two in 2G 3-ss, was going easily to complete five furlongs in 1.10 2-5. Kiltowyn is doing all his work well and it will be interesting to see how he goes when he is stretched out in earnest. Neil (light boy) and Good Idea (Mcßae) were associated over a round in 1.47 1-5. They ran the last half-mile in 57 2-5 and Good Idea was going the better at the finish. It will not be for lack of condition if these horses fail to raco well at Gisborue, as they are both in groat heart. Imamint's Short Sprint. The Pantheon—Dora's Double filly (L. Manson) was going better than Thunderstorm (Simpson) when they completed four furlongs in. 53a. The Pantheon filly shows a lot of promise and eho is doing in good style every thins that is asked' of her. Imamint' (light boy), who has not been required to do a great deal since the Great Northern meeting, hit out with plenty of dash in d Bprint up the straight. Imamint should be a payablo proposition at tho Bpring meetings and she is likely to shine when the tracks are soft.

Hampton Park (Fuller), after taking 13 l-5s for tho first furlong, finished up half a mile in 51 8-ss, tho best of the morning over the distance. Hampton Park is carrying a very bright appearance and, although he is not good, P. Gilchrist should be able to place him to advantage in the now season.

With his trainer J. M. Buchanan in the saddle, Hawthorn strode along for five furlongs without being at top at any stage. Hawthorn has never looked better and his fitness should assist him in his engagements at Gisborne, where ho is likely to race prominently in hack company. Bright Flower (Mcßao) and the Pantheon —lodine filly (Fuller) finished ahead of On Approval (Cammick) when they had completed four furlongs in 565, but they were all floing comfortably. Bright Flower and the Pantheon filly havo both improved in appearance lately. Marchins: Song (Ryan) was not extended to run half a mile in 55 3-ss. The Hunting Song gelding has been displaying improvement and, although ho is a slovenly walker, hei does his work well enough to suggest-that he has possibilities. Thespis Goes Solidly. Moonfleet (Clifford) and Corinax (McTavish), a;fter doing the first two in 25 3-5s and three .in 38 l-ss, were on tepns at the end of six furlongs in 1.19 l-ss. Corinax was going tho stronger at the finish, but Moonfleet went quite well and should win in hack company at the spring meetings. Thespis (Williams) .and Mahkill (mediumweight) started off together to cove* a round, but Mahkill was ' eased, in -the' straight and Thespis finished jJleari' Thwnis ran the last seven furiongs in 1.40 and did his work well for a hunter.

Ornamental, (Fuller) and Tarporley (Cammick) were .riot hurried;,to run half a; mile in 55 2-ss. Ornamental is developing into a nice filly and, although she has not shown anything exceptional on the tracks, displays quite enough speed to euggest that she is likely to strike winning form later on. Absent (Craddock), General Lu (Olive) and Dominican (Rae) were sent over the steeplechase fences on the flat twice. The second time over Dominican hit the second fence of the double hard and unseated his rider, but the other pair made no mistakes, although both were inclined to run about at their fences.'

Sunny Sky and Manawhenua, who are to be shipped to Sydney on Friday, did useful work on the sand, and others who performed serviceable tasks included Croupier, Royal Gallant, Haakon and Vandyke.
