A good display of jumping was given in a bout over the country by Clarion Call, who unfortunately stumbled and fell after jumping tho sodwall, Jolly Beggar and Hirangi.

On tho No. 1 grass, Kilonsa (McTavish) and Land Girl (Fearn) wero together throughout six furlongs in 1.21 3-5, the first three being run in 41 2-ss. Kilonsa looks well, and went attractively.

Bronze Wing Goes Well Bronze Wing (Metcalfe) and Aymon (Gallagher) finished together several lengths in front of Palmint (Fearn) at the end of five furlongs in 1.7 3-5, tho first two in 27 l-ss.

Crooning has impressed in her latest work at Ellerslie, and is returning to form. Jack Tar (Fearn) ran seven furlongs in 1.36 3-5, and went nicely. His public form has been disappointing. Fleetwind (Gilchrist) was never at top to register 1.13 2-5 for fivo furlongs. Hessketoon (Jones) finished clear of Electric Spear (Fearn).

Valmint (W T iggins), who covered a lot of ground, impressed by finishing clear of Waitaka (Jones) at the end of a milo in 1.50. Waitaka made the pace ! over the first half in 555, but Valmint j moved up at the turn .and camo away j in the straight. Valmint is closo to ! form.

Shy (Fearn) beat School Song (Vaughan) over five furlongs in 1.7 3-5, the first two being run in 275. Shy did not seem to be troubled by the going and went pleasingly. Ivilladar (Vaughan) was travelling comfortably in front of My Money (Fearn) at the conclusion of a rouncl in 2.2 1-5. Riotous strode over a round in 2.14 1-5. • Professional (Gough) jumped four of the usual schooling hurdles safely. Arikira (Baker) set out to jump four hurdles with Ground Swell (Nicolson), but after clearing the first threw his rider at the next. Ground Swell continued and jumped the remaining fences satisfactorily. Arikira afterwards ran half a mile in 54 3-ss. Bass (Fergus) jumped four hurdles going at a sound pace throughout. He looks a promising hurdler. Jolie Dance (Stokes), jumping slowly, negotiated six hurdles in the middle. High Star Shapes Nicely On the course proper, Silk Sox (Dulieu),. High Star (Williams) and Porotiti (Fergus) were associated over five hurdles. Over the first three", Porotiti and High Star were well clear of Silk Sox, who moved up and led over the last hurdle from High Star, who was clear of Porotiti. Silk Sox was responsible for a sound display. High Star also shaped nicely. The Trimmer (R. K. Smith) fell heavily at the first fence when sent out to school and was not persevered with. Flis rider received a very severe shaking- - ~ Clarion Call (Beale). Jolly Beggar (Ridgwav), Hirangi (Watson), Tahae Mea (Gough) and United (Craddoek) wero companions in a schooling task over the steeplechase course. , Clarion Call and Jolly Beggar cleared the double, sodwall and brush fenee together in front of Hirangi, with 1 abac Mea and United in the rear. At the double on top of the hill Clarion Call. Jolly Beggar and Hirangi were bunched and'they kept in this order until crossing the sodwall at tho top of the straight, where Clarion Call knuckled over several strides after landing and came to grief. Hirangi and Jolly Beggar gave good displays. Jahae i\lea was a long way back, while United refused at the first of the double 011 the hill. Clarion Call schooled perfectly until lie lost bis footing and was unfortunate to fall after jumping the fence cleanlv. He did not appear to sustain any' injury, although he was later reported a little tender. Clarion Call showed great cleverness after falling by jumping one fence of the double with one leg through the reins.
