ELLERSLIE GALLOPS

SMART SPRINTS RECORDED HALF-MILE BY DEPUTY. RULER GOOD THREE BY SOLOMON * BY ARCHER Conditions were excellent for training operations at Ellerslie yesterday, wlien fast work was carried out on the course proper, where the flags were out 25ft., and on the No. I grass. Some smart sprinting efforts were recorded and the best were a fast half-mile by Deputy Ruler, a good three furlongs by Solomon, and a sound five by Gay .Broney and Karangapai, who finished in front of Wee Pat. On the course proper Deputy Ruler (Parsons) galloped half a mile pleasingly in 50 l-ss. He is an improved colt for his recent '.racing and will strip in belter trim at Takapuna than for any of his previous engagements. Deputy Ruler should give a good account of himself on Saturday. Gay Broney (Bigham) and Karangapai (Chaplin) we;o a couple of lengths ahead of "Wee JPat (E. Uauson) at the concltision of a solidly-run five furlongs in 1.3 3-5. The first two furlongs were run in 25 3-5s and Gay Broney went pleasingly for a novice. Karangapai was well within himself all the way and Wee Pat was not knocked abou't. Gay Broney is an improver who may soon reach the winning list. Glenhaupo (Mcßae) finished too solidly for Demylus (Burgess) at the end of seven furlongs in 1.33 4-5. Glenhaupo had much the better of the weights, but her effort was very satisfactory. Demylus also shaped creditably and. seems to bo getting more solid,, Solomon (E. Manson) was too gond for Glenroinney (Chaplin) over three furlongs in 3''s, a smart gallop. Solomon is an attractive juvenile, apart from the fact that his forelegs have shown signs of weakness, but he has the speed to win races if he trains on. Ho has fined down a good deal lately and although his condition •is susceptible to improvement he should not be disgraced among the two-year-olds at Takapuna. ' . . .1 United Goes Freely Golden Spahi (Chaplin), United 'Parsons) and Roman Mascot (Mcßae) got away ahead of Marching Song (Ryan) and Tahae Mea (Clark) and led them over pix furlongs in 1.19 3-5, the first three taking 39. 3-ss. United, Golden Spahi and Roman Mascot finished practically on terms, with United goin;? comfortably and the other pair being kicked up to their work. There was nothing special about the gallop, but Golden Spahi and Roman Mascot have both made improvement lately. On, the No. 1 grass Courthaven (Lardner). after running the first . three' in 39 3-ss, finished .up six. furlongs in 1.19 2-5. The three-year-old's latest track work has been satisfactory and she may show some form' shortly, although she .may require a big corn-Be to be seen at her best. The two-year-old, filly by Polazel from Lucy French ran three furlongs in 43 '3-ss. She bled during the effort and it would appeiar that the trouble is hereditary, as her dam's racing career was cut short through bleeding.

Ruling Xing (Williams), after running the first half-mile in 51 3-ss. was slowing up at the conclusion of seven furlongs in 1.34 3.5. He is not a good worker but has been thriving lately and should run a solid race in the Orewa High-weight Handicap on Saturday. Ruling King's last success was achieved in similar class at Avonaaie in the spring. Brampton (Clark) was going belter than Angie (Mcßae) when they had completed half a mile in 52 4-ss. the last three furlongs taking 38 4-ss. Brampton and Akgie are showing improved condition, but neither has accomplished anything special on the tracks lately. ' Progrccs 01 Taneriri Hawthorn (Clark) was timed to run the last four of five furlongs in 54 3-ss. He was going smoothly all the way and could have done better if pushed. Hawthorn worked with one of his hind legs bandaged, but otherwise • appears well after- his successfulexertions at Thames. _ ' Darma (Williams) and Bright Flower (Mcßae) covered five furlongs in 1.3 3-5. They did their-work satisfactorily, but have done nothing to. cause their immediate proEipects' to be regarded enthusiastically. <o:a the tan Valroe completed a serviceable task: with a short sprint home.;'He is thriving in his new Quarters and should continue to rnake good progress if he remains sound. Taneriri pleased better than Wee Musk ovoi: half a mile in 53 4-ss. Taneriri is making rapid progress and has not shown any sign of sc-renes's. He should again do good service for H. Rama if he stands a thorough preparation. Wee Prince (E. Manson) easily defeated Neil (Clark) over a round in 1.55_ 1-5, the last hnlf-mile taking 555. "Wee Prince was brought home over the last five furlongs by Mahkill and worked very solidly. He looks nn improved horse and is not without prospects in the high-weight events at Takapuna, although he may be more advantageously placed when he has an , opportunity of racing over hurdles. Full Measure, who injured a stifle while racing at the summer meeting, has resumed' work and was out working steadily. Others who performed useful . tasks were Manawhenua, Horowhenua and Zane Grey.

TAKANINI TRACK 'WORK HALF-MILE BY LORRELLE After heavy overnight rain the going was slightly- dead at Takanini yesterday, when all the woik was done on the inside grass, with the poles well out. Greek Gold (Taylor) and Imperial Prince (Jones) worked steadily round to the three furlongs and then ran home in 39 2-ss, with the former going' the better. Imperial Prince is engaged ;on the second day at Takapuna.

Gay Marigold (Moore) and Master Brierly (Girice) finished together at the end of six furlongs in. 1.19 4-5, after running the first three in 40s. They are in good heart to race at Takapuna. Foulwind (Clifford) finished better than Chief Joy (Moore) and beat him by a clear length at the end of six furlongs in 1.30 1-5. Foulwind was running on at the end, but Chief Joy failed to please. Foulwind has an engagement on the second day at Takapmiii.

Great Emblem (Manson) was sent nine furlongs with Principal (Jones) and Bugle Call (Coram) to assist over the last mile. Principal, who received the worst of the pick up,' finished in front of the other pair, the mile taking 1.50 2-5. Principal had ft good deal the best of the weights, but both he and Bugle Call worked freely. Great Emblem, as usual, had to be kepi up to his work, but should strip in good order on Saturday. H'ereatu (Clifford), affer running his first two in 24 3-5, completed five fur-' longs in 1.5 3-5. He worked nicely and appears to be a better colt for his recent racing.

Lorrelle (Fearn) ran. half a mile in 50 2-5, a gallop that compared favourably with most others during the morning. She appears to be steadily improving.

Speedmint (Walters) was going easily throughout a mile gallop in 1.51. Diversion (Edwards) joined in over the last half, whv.ch took 535, and was also going comfortably at the end. Speedmint has had plenty of racing of late, but is in good heart and should appreciate the easing of track conditions.

Substation (Hodge) went lazily over two furlongs in 30s. Both Diversion and Substation will represent Pope's stable in the Trial Stakes on Saturday. The latter appears to be the more forward of the pair. 'lhe Hiker (Walters) ran five furlongs from the mile to the three furlongs in 1.9 2-5. This horse, who has been schooling rather well, is to lauo his first laco in the hurdles at Matamata. Gay Sheila, who sprinted three furlongs on Monday, was let off with an easy task. Sho looks well and seems to be quite free from soreness.
