There had been no rain overnight, and the grass tracks were hard. Insurrection was the first to work, but lie was only cantered' on the tan. Humbug and Chrysostom ran half a mile in -JOseo, and Humbug had ipueh the best of the go. Canyon easily beat Sweet Memory over half a mile, but the time was slow — 51 3-ssec. The Cup candidate. Esperance, went a mile. She was brought home from the six furlong post by La Paloma. Bagdad was given an easy task on the tan? Three of the Cup horses. Eleus, Idlp Talk, and Tenterfield went a mile and a cftuirter, but it was not a good trial for Idle Talk and Tenterfield were* no nia-tch for Illeus, who beat them easily. Tho mile took lmin 46 l-ssec. Temterfiold, who. looks much in need of rwet, was far behind the others, hut he ivas afterwards sent another round. Again he went badly. Silveu* lank, with a light boy up, trotted a round of the tan, and with H. Gray in the saddle did a solid mito on the inner grass. The New Plymouth mare is particularly well. Wamba went a"#ound in good style. Warplane, looking bigger than when he won at Awapuiii, moved attractively when worked on the grass. He is keeping sound. % Taiparu wemt hfflf a mile in 50sec. Halloween, In the Pink, and Rimutaka were sent five furlongs. Halloween finished best in lmin 3see. Halifax beat Blackhead over six furlongs in lmin 17sec. Counter Attack went six furlongs wjth ease in lmin 17sec. Parisian Diamond was allotted steady work, which he got through well. Dusky Eve and Maioha went the best mile of the morning. Maioha was several lengths ahead at the finish. The mile took lmin 41 3^sec. Sandy MacDonald beat Astinome home from the five furlong post in lmin 3sec. Johnny Walker was worked on the tan. Quest. Scion, and Tolerance were 'un down the straight four furlongs. Quest was too good for the others. Statuette was given an easy task. Tho Telegraph, candidate is in great fettle. Winter "Wind and Royal Exchange-took lmin 17sec to run six furlongs. Rational was sent fairly fast over a short course. Royal Stag and Counter Stroke covered five furlongs in lmin ssec. v Vespucci, who went a mile and a quar* ter, ran' home from the six furlong post in lmin 16 4-sseo with Adopted. Pacific Slope and Silk Rein went a mile, the last seven furlongs in lmin 82 2-ssec. Pacific Slope went well. Gloaming ran a nice four, furlongs without being extended. Arrow smith was exercised on the tan. Moonstruck was not as good as Mar*

tial Dawn over six furlongs in l min 17sec. The probable starters and tlioir riders in the Cup are:— Client. D. 3 (3d. McCarten). * First Salute, 8.9 (H. Gray). Maioha. 8.7 (R-. Reed). Red Ribbon, 5.5 (R. Maekie). Vespucci, 8 (13. Deeley). Tenterfield, 7.13 (*T. O’Shea). Ruuka. 7.12 (I?. S. Bagby). Nobleman, 7.10 (C. Reed). Lovomatch, 7.10 (A. Reed). Elens, 7.7 (G. Youug).

The eight Waikauap yrarlings to l>o sold on Friday, at 2.30 p.m. arrived in Wellington on Monday night, pnd can bo inspected at Thorndon quay at any time now. The most convenient time for inspection arc between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and between 3.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. H. Gray’s mounts. First Salute . and Statuette, were strongly fancied for tho Chip and Telegraph all through the week, but after yesterday's gallop Maioha will* come into favour. * Tenterfield looks- sadly in need of a spell from racing, and he can be written out as a possible in Hie Cup. Arrowsiuith lias done very little since arriving at Trentham, and it would not be surprising if he were not started at the meeting. Going: Up has taken the eye of the touts at Trentham.
