SCHOOLING AT NEW PLYMOUTH.

(By “Moturoa.”)

There was no galloping at New Plymouth yesterday morning, but several hordes "ave interesting schooling dis- . .

The Swell (R. Eagar) and Spanish Prince (Mr. K. Bedford) were companions over a round of the schooling huidlcs.

•Spanish Prince ran off at the thiid obstacle, but the display given by the nair was very satisfactory. 1 # * - * ■»

Garrick (March) went really well over four hurdles and is undoubtedly improving. f *

Moerangi (Eagar) gave hrs usual fast, clean display over a circuit of schooling obstacles. He is in the pink of condition.

On Saturday morning Gueress, Winnagan and Evening Hero all schooled, well at Awapuni, .and they will come to New Plymouth early this week.
