TE RAPA ACTIVITIES

LUCIDUS JUMPS WELL SMART SPRINT BY MERIAL COMETARIUM WORKS SOUNDLY [hv telegraph—OWN correspondent] HAMILTON.

A thick fog enveloped the course until a late hour and considerably delayed the commencement of proceedings, On the course proper, Abbey Lass (N. K. McKenzie) and Queen Lu (11. J. Fearn) were associated over five furlongs in 1.5 3-5. Green Label (R. J. Fearn) cleared right away from Princess Lu (W. M. Thomson) and an Acre filly (Giollop) over the concluding stages of five furlongs in 1.8. Green Label is on the improve and should show to advantage when called upon to race. Tosh (McKenzie) dashed over live furlongs in 1.4 2-5, running the first half-mile in 525.

Racelino (it. J. Fearn) negotiated six furlongs in 1.18. the first half-mile in 52 4-ss. He will do his next racing at Tauranga.
