Vienna (M. Gilmore), gained a breakon Otaki (I. Rohloffj in the early stages of five furlongs, but waited for her companion and they finished on terms in 3.10. Vienna* is a speedy filly and the turning track at New Plymouth should suit her. She is engaged in novice events. Two-Year-Olds Sprint

Gold Glare (Pcpperill) and Le Marquis (Cole) completed two rounds of pace work by sprinting down the straight. The two-year-olds Captain Bligli, by Captain Bunsby from Molleen Ogc, and the filly by Siegfried from J3ctrothal under R.

Captain Bligh is a sturdily-built bay colt, and, although nothing of a serious nature has been asked of him, is coming to hand nicely. The Siegfried filly has done well during the past few weeks. She is not heint; hurried, but should be readv to race at shorl; notice.

Royal Fire was lame after schooling on Saturday and his prospects of competing at New Plymouth cio not appear bright. He has been absent from the • tracks for the past two days.
