WAIKATO ACTIVITIES

HUNT MEETING CANDIDATES CHROMADYNE GALLOPS WELL CONSORT AND BOOKLAW [FHIIM OUR OWN COURESt'ONOENT] HAMILTON, Thursday The approach of the- Waikato Hunt, meeting has brought about a renewal of activity at Cambridge, but the track is considered rough in places. Tupapa and To Taono galloped a very useful six furlongs this morning, finishing on terms. Both went well and are in good, ehape for their engagements on Monday. A goqd effort was registered this morning by Clnomadyne, who, if the going happens to bo Boft. should run prominently in the Members' Memorial Handicap. He went twice round, covering tho first half-milo in 01s. then being eased up and running the last four furlongs in f)os. Ho hit out exceptionally well and was going strongly at tho finish. John Bull was also sent twice round, sprinting homo tho last four furlongs, which occupied 525. Although lie went well ho made a good deal of noise. However, this docs not seem to affect him greatly and ho should eliow up on Monday. Prospects of Consort All is not well with Great Britain, who was not looking anything like himself when given light work this morning. Ho had been doing remarkably good work and in fact was considered one of tho best maidens in the district. However, the trouble may bo only temporary, in which caso lie will take his place in the Bruntwood Hack field. At his best ho would prove dangerous. Consort went two rounds, coming home fast over the last half-mile, which he covered in 00s. This horse has been working well and i» ill great order for the Ladies' Bracelet, in which ho should be difficult to beat. Much depends upon tho rider 111 this race, which is confined to amateurs, but Consort will lie well served in having tlio services of Mr. Frank Baker. Nothing has been working at Cambridge much better than Booklaw, who in a eix furlong trial with Te Taono yesterday morning fairly ran away from his companion in very fair time. Te Koroko was eore after working yesterday morning and whether he starts in the Waikato Hunt Cup will depend largely upon how he stands up to his task on Saturday. _ . Simeon, with Ironic as a companion, worked very soundly over two circuits this morning. This horse bears a well-trained appearance and should acquit himself well on Monday. Beila was allotted steady work over a distance and similar work was given Valsinion. _ _ , Sargon was on the tracks this morning, but although lie seemed ..to movo all right when warmed up, ho was again soro when he walked away. Sir Glamis and Galjapago The Manawatu hunter Sir Glamis has reached Cambridge and was schooled over tho steeplechase course yesterday morning. No paco was on and he jumped very high. Gallapago, another recent arrival, was also sent over the country, jumping very well. However, ho pulled up slightly lame and it is just possible tha s t he might not be able to start on Monday. The Waikato Hunt Cup candidate, Trouble, is expected to reach the scene today. York Abbey has gone amiss, this explaining his defection from the Waikato Hunt Cup. At To Rapa this morning Valuation- jind Illuminelli galloped attractively over five furlongs, finishing practically on terms. Persham defeated Limex in a sound five furlongs gallop. Persham has come on w-e]l lately and is in nice condition for spring meetings. _ . Baroscope was on the tracks this morning, but. was let off with tho' easiest of work. However, he, looks well and should do better at Cambridge than he did at Avondale. Although not asked to go against the clock. Tradesman hit, out exceptionally well and seems to have Buffered no ill-eflects aa a result of his efforts at Avondale. Pelting was also lot off with a light task. He certpinly seems to be on the improve and should bo a belter horse as a result of his succesful racing at Avondale. ELLEESLTE TRAINING USEFUL TASKS RECORDED LORD AINTREL'S EFFORT The No. 2 grass was available fof galloping at Ellerslie yesterday, and provided good going. There wero no outstanding gallops and most of tho horses to use the grass were allowed to run along well within themselves. Wee Musk sprinted three furlongs in 30 2-ss. He is thriving better than he was a few weeks ago, but is ono of the lean type and may never carry much condition. Ornamental. Courthaven and Zane Grev were not bustled to run six furlongs in 1.21 2-5. Courthaven was sharpened up by her lace at Avondale, where she performed very creditably for a. first time out. Norval Tea sprinted half-a-mile in 51 4 ss. It was her first gallop since her return to the tracks and she does not seem to have lost any of her speed. Norval Tea does not possess a great deal of stamina and unless she can stay on better than when previously racing she will require very careful placing. Imamint, after running the first two in 25 l-ss, completed five furlongs in-1.1! l-o. She is to compete at Cambridge on Monday and should have more than an outside chance in the open sprint if ' she races up to her best form. . Clontarf Bill placed six furlongs behind in 1.20 2-5. Ite has been showing some improvement lately, but is not overburdened with stamina, and he may bo troubled tho mile and a-quarter journey in the Ladies Bracelet at Cambndgo on Monday. Lord Aintree, after covering the first two in 25 3-ss, was easms up at the end to run five furlongs in 1.8 1-5. He is expected to keep both his engagements n the Waikato Hunt meeting, where he will only require to reproduce his Avondale form to seriously troublo tho opposition. Charsong and .Bright Flower ran fH furlongs in 1.6 t-6. and Echo Song was not asked for her best to cover lialf-a-mile in Em displayed some dash in running half-a-mile in 51 l-ss. She is asking some progress and is now showing wore prom.se tb nemVlus "reefed off half-a-mile in 52 3-s*. while Gay Broney.and Barn Dance strode ovpr six fur lon trs in 1.9-1 ii A „ Vatutsihi (Olive jumped [our _ well Wee Prince (Garrett) and Neil ((. haplin>' wero also schooled over burdles and Neil afterwards cleared the steeplechase fences 011 the flat in good styl".
