AWAPUNI NOTES

Press Association. PALMERSTON, December 19.' The Awapuni tracks are in good or|der, but a few hours’ rain would be welcomed by trainers, as one or two of (the horses are beginning to show signs l of soreness. Adroit (by Field Battery—Trix), In Shearsby’s stable, is being treated to ■ a spell till after the New Year. The Rover is now being trained by IT. George. S. W. Nathan’s Orleans (by Conqueror—Jeanne D’Axo) is a regular track worker). Locally trained or owned horses figure large in the Manawatu Club’s acceptances. They- comprise Monologue, Heather, Roealys, Taonui, Neirene, Passadena, Adelicia, Rangikapua, Pfi. ketotara. Overheard, Gladiole, Makars. Rangiatua, The Rover, Bonnie Boy

Matlow, Ermengarde, Gerberga, Lockwood and Vibration. D. Buick, jun., gave Rangiatua, Vibration, and Taonui strong work today ; they look well. An interesting gallop was a solid mile by Bronze and Byron, both horses going well and both finishing in good style. There was nothing to choose between them. Neireno and Rangikapua ran four furlongs together, Neirene going best. Heather and Passadena galloped five ifnrlongs, Heather being slightly suporior. Black Lupin, Papamarama, Royal Maid, and Martlet did light work. Matlow ran a really good mile. Lockwood, looking well, went six furlongs with Ermengarde. Adolicia, who is growing into a fine filly, Gerberga, and Mallard did useful work.
