Oratory (Howe) was to have done a working gallop, but she went freely all the way over six furlongs, and was not extended to cover the journey in 1.19 3-5, tho first half-mile in 545. She has never worked more keenly than at present. Aria Favours Going Aria (Bae), after covering tho first three furlongs in 39 3-ss, completed five furlongs in 1.7 3-5. She favoured the easy going. Benascor (Little) and ' Screen Lord (Broughton) ran five furlongs in 1.8 3-5, the last three in 41s.

Quadroon is at his best just now, and likes easy tracks. Florence Mills, who does not require i much galloping, trotted on the inner grass, looking none the worse for her great trial on Thursday. HAWERA TRAINING WORK.ON HEAVY TRACK LOWENBERG AND LICKEM NED CUTTLE BEATS ONE WHETU [liV TEL-J JRAI'H—OWN correspondent] HAWEKA, Saturday The heavy state of the going did not prevent good times being recorded on the Hawera tracks this morning. Tho outside of tho courso proper was open for fast work. After a slow beginning from a barrier start, Daisy Chain (Pepperill) and Golden Orchid (Toki) got to tho end of half a mile in 565. They could have improved on the time. Student Prince (Cole) did a round of strong pace work. Ho is in capital order for holiday racing. Lowenberg (Murray) and Lickem (Hawkes) put up an attractive gallop by running- five furlongs in 1.5. They came- home strongly. They should do well at the Manawatu meeting. Fox Moth (Murray) dashed over a quarter in 24 2-ss, and Captain Bligh recorded 27 4-ss. The latter is a two-year-okl colt by Captain Bunsby from Molleen Oge, and has done little fast work to. date. He may be given a run at Stratford . Naughty Marietta (Pepperill) and Fiancee (Cole) ran three furlongs from tho barrier in 10 2-ss. Trilitho (Hawkes), with about two stone the j 1 >ottor of the weights, was slightly ! ahead of Cytos (Toki) after half a mile ! traversed in 545. Gold Glaro (Grylls) finished Mi length ' in front of Narrator (Colo) over five ! fiu'longs in 1.8 2-5. Both are engaged I in novice events at New Plymouth, but they would require to improve on their track work to be prominent. Advance Piano (Murray) pleased by running five furlongs in 1.5 3-5. He was inclined to hang in down tho straight. Ned Cuttlo (Hawkes) beat One Whetu (Cole) by a couple > of lengths over seven furlongs in 1.36 3-5. Ned Cuttle had a good deal in reserve at the finish, but little notice need bo taken of One Whetu's track work, which was much the same before his departure for Feilding, where he raced impressively. Notium (Cole) completed j a round of strong pace work by sprinting up the straight. No fault can bo j found with his condition. j King Pluto (Toki) set out to jump | five hurdles. After negotiating the first three in dashing style, he crashed heavily at the fourth. Ho is a fast jumper, but inclined to stand off too far/ The horse was not injured and his rider escaped with a sprained wrist. The novice, Swift Sand, in J. Duggan's stable, will not bo a runner during the holidays. His stablemate. Plato, is causiiig his trainer anxiety and his prospects of standing another preparation appear to be remote.
