THE TWO-YEAR-OLD PARADE

YOUNGSTERS SHOW THEIR PACES

(By< “Moturoa.”) : Sixteen two-year-olds were seen at Wanganui yesterday in a flutter down the straight from the two-furloug post-.;;/ in the two divisions of the Two-year-old Parade. The “babies” attracted a great deal of attention and in addition to those that had paraded at . New Plymouth and Marton there were several promising newcomers. ' FIRST DIVISION. CURIE (F. Ormond), b g by AfaUsio—Hymarty . 1 ; IMPETUOUS (G. M. Currie), 1 b f by Limond—Pennant -... 2 ECILA (J. J. Carr), b f by Cock-.. pit—Miss Girons Q TYPE (V. Riddiford), ch f ..by Leighton —Merit •. -4 Sailing bolted, jn the opposite direc-4 c.tion when the burrier was released arid Curie, like au old hand, was first to settle down to his task/leading into the straight from Impetuous and Type. Sustaining his run Curie won by half a length from Impetuous, while who finished on strongly, beat Type-. .; for third place. Action and Richborough were next. Time, 25 3-osec. .J; SECOND DIVISION. SAILING (W. R. Kemball), br f, by Cape Horn—Rose Martian . 1 ALL HUMBUG (S. Woodhill), ch g by Humbug —All Cerise 3. GIBRALTAR (Mrs. W. D. Graham), b c by Lackham —Alvarez .... 2 •; CHIEF CLERK (F. Armstrong), br g by Chief Ruler—Cherry Pie .... 4 Chief Clerk was slow away and Sail-, ing, improving on her first display, / jumped out brilliantly from Gibraltar and won very easily by two lengths from Gibraltar, with All Humbug a neck away. Chief Clerk, finishing fast, . was close up. Time, 25 3-ssee. Curie, who also won the parade at •" Marton,; was probably the most forward , youngster seen out yesterday, and the r game manner in which he finishes on ? suggests that he will sec out the four and a-quarter furlongs to-morrow. -Impetuous and Ecila arc both well-grown and shown nice freedom of action. Sail- ■ ing is rather erratic at the barrjprj, but there is no doubt she possesses a lot of paee. Gibraltar has improved out of all knowledge since the Taranaki v Hunt Club's meeting, lint he has as yet an awkward action, which suggests that the best will not. be seen of him until the end of the seasqn. All Humbug is improving and Chief Clerk will win races this season if.'h© 1 ' shovvs any improvement. The defection of the Wanganui speedster, Kbrokio, from the parade was a disappointment.
