ELLERSLIE TRAINING

REREATU SPRINTS WELL KELLY GOES ATTRACTIVELY GAY BRONEY'S SOLID SEVEN Steady rain fell practically until the breakfast interval at Ellorslio yesterday, when the No. 1 grass, with the polos out 10ft., was open for fast work. The going was gopd when work started, but it became softer as the morning advanced. Tho best gallops of the morning wore recorded by Rereatu and Kelly over six furlongs and a round respectively. Roman Mascot covered a circuit in 2.3 1-5, the last six furlongs in 1.20. She did her work nicely. Fleotwind, with a light weight, ran six furlongs in 1.18 4-5. She is likely to raco at Te Aroha. Ringshot was nob bustled to run half a mile in 56 2-ss. He has not been overtaxed of lato. Wh irlmint covered a circuit comfortably in 2.11 3-5, taking 5G 3-5s for the last half-mile. lied Flame ran six furlongs in 1.23 4-5. Although she did not race at To Rapa, all is well with her and she may go to To Aroha. Rereatu ran his first three in 37 3-5s and completed six furlongs in 1.16 4-5. Hq was vory lightly weighted, but it was easily tho best sprint of the morning. Prince Abb was just clear of Palardo at tho end of half a mile in 51 3-ss. It was an encouraging etl'ort for maidens. Valspear Moves Freely Knight of Australia and Royal Appellant were on terms, just in front of Psychologist, after the last-named had led in tho early stages, o.f a round covered in 2.0 1-5. They ran tho last seven furlongs in 1.38 2-5 and tho last half-mile in 55 2-ss. The first-named pair are Te Aroha candidates and both did their work pleasingly. Valspear ran two furlongs in 27 2-5 and completed six in 1.21. He was going strongly all the way and should give a good account of himself at To Aroha. Gay Stop and Lone Flier went half a mile in 56 "l-5s and Marlene covered the same distance in 55 4-ss. Kelly, with a very light weight, was responsible for an attractive gallop over a circuit in 1.54. He ran the last mile in 1.47 3-5 and the last half-mile in 54 l-ss. It was an excellent effort under the conditions. Wee Pat easily beat Tea Chat over a circuit, the last seven furlongs in 1.44. Wee Pat is now assuming bettor condition. Aftor jumping two hurdles, King Mestor and Gascille covered a circuit in 2.4. These jumpers are both going freely in their work. Courthaven ran six furlongs in 1.22. She has done a good deal of work and is now pleasing for one of her class. Gay Bronoy beat Vera Acre over seven furlongs in 1.37 2-5, the last three in 40 3-ss. Gay Broney hit out well, but Vera Acre was not as pleasing as in recent gallops, which may have been due to the soft going. Gay Princess and the Spoar Dance —Maveelish mare were on terms at the end of six furlongs in 1.24. Sir Abb and Tldalia Sir Abb and Tidalia were together in front of Gay Marigold at the end of six furlongs in 1.23, after taking 40 2-5 a for the first throo.

Te Kapia and United completed their work with half a mile in 565. . Crooning and Valise were practically on terms at the end of six furlongs in 1.22 1-5, the first three in 41s. Both did their work well, the going when they galloped being heavier than earlier in the morning. Captain Bruce was a shade better than Speareourt over half a, mile in 53 2-ss. Captain Bruce is now going more soundly in his work than formerly. Te Hai and Ruling King were on terms over half a mile in 56 2-ss, To Hai has freshened up noticeably during recent' weeks.
