Tho last round was run in 2.7, the last six furlongs in 1.21 and the last half-mile in 53 l-ss. It was a pleasing effort on tho part of I 1 lood Tide, who looks ready for a good performance in the Mitchelson Cup. Knight of Australia finished in the rear, but was eased a little at the turn and was not knocked about. Kelly's Six Furlongs

Carshalton (R. J. Fearn) placed seven furlongs behind in 1.38, the first threo in 41 3-ss. Persian Lady (Buchanan), after running the first two in 2S 3-ss, was going easily at the end of five furlongs in 1.13 1-5. Tin Lap (Dulieu) and Haputale (Gilchrist) went freely over half a mile in 525. Morning Sun (Cameron) ran tho same distance in 52 3-ss.

Kelly (Gilchrist) was responsible for the best six furlongs in 1.18 3-5, running the first three in 38 l-5s and the last three in 40 2-ss. Although lightly weighted, he went well and appears to be better than when he finished second at Avondale recently. Tybalt (Wiggins) and Tooley Street (Kearns) were under restraint while covering six furlongs in 1.24.

Jewelled Girdle (McTavish) was slightly in front and going stronger than Valspear (Tremain) at the end of six furlongs in 1.21. jewelled Girdle is carrying an improved appearance and went in good style. Gay Defence (Clifford) ran an easy five furlongs in 1.9 3-5.

Royal Appellant Pleases

Royal Appellant (Cameron) pleased better than Horowhenua (Forsyth) over a mile in 1.45 3-5. the first half being run in 52s and the second in 53 3-ss. Royal Appellant's latest work has been consistently good and he may have to be seriously reckoned with in the Mitchelson Cup. Horowhenua has also been working well, but his latest form in public has been below expectations.

Little Man (Clifford) reeled off five furlongs in 1.8 4-5. Armacourt (Tremain), after running the first half-mile in 525, completed seven furlongs in 1.34 1-5. She i 6 in great heart.

After the breakfast interval Vera Acre (Clifford) was slightly better than an unnamed Rossendale gelding (Tremain) over six furlongs in 1.22, the first three in 40 3-ss. Aiwai (Wiggins) and Francis Drake (Gilmore) were finishing very strongly at the end of half a mile in 52 l-ss. They aro nice youngsters and have made good progress lately. Red Manfred (Wiggins) was responsible for the best distance gallop of the morning in running a mile and a-quarter in 2.16 4-5. The last round was run in 2.5 4-5, the last seven furlongs in 1.33 and the last half-mile in 54 2-ss. Roll Manfred derived considerable benefit from his racing at Avondale and may show a return to form at any time.

Golden Blonde and Mandamus Ron Star (Vaughan) covered half a mile in 52 3-ss. He is steadily improving in condition. Gar Vaals (Vaughan) completed his work with three furlongs in 425. Golden Blonde (Tremain) was slightly in front of Mandamus (Gilmore) at the conclusion of five furlongs in 1.(3 1-5. They ran the first two in 25 3-5s and could have done better at the finish. Mandamus, who is rid of tho trouble that prevented him from racing at Avondale, was allowed to loaf near the end. Karl (Cavancy) ran six furlongs in 1.10 3-5. He did his work in good style and appears to have done well since racing at Wanganui. FJcetwind (Clifford) sprinted half a mile in 535. She is doing all her work nicely. Adsum (Butterworth) ran six furlongs in 1.25 and Mountain Breeze went half a mile in 51s. On tho No 3 grass Marjory Daw (Tremain) worked usefully over a round, running the last six* furlongs in 1.23 4-5. Valinint (Wiggins) also worked scrviccably and was timed to run the last three furlongs in 40 3,-ss. On the two-year-old track Hunting Moor (Gilchrist) sprinted three furlongs in 42 2-5 without being bustled. Ho is making satisfactory progress. However, he appears to bo growing fairly quickly and his trainer will probably not hurry him. Schooling of Jumpers

Kaola (L. Dulieu) jumped four hurdles well and afterwards cleared the steeplechase fences on tho flat in good style. He bears an improved appearance, being more robust than formerly. Lord Val (Baker) led Arabesque (Clifford), All Irish (Wilkinson) and Mountain Bruce (Turvev) over four hurdles in 1.3 3-5, a very satisfactory gallop. Lord Val schooled well and is in great heart. The others performed creditably, although Mountain Bruce hit the last fence and was walking a little short afterwards.

Electric Flash (Sharkey) led Znno Grev (Baker), Vilina (Olive) and King Rod (Turvey) over a round of the steeplechase fences. Electric Flash swerved at the first fence of the double but went with plenty of dash and gave a good display to be well clear throughout.
