NEW PLYMOUTH GALLOPERS

ATTRACTIVE WORK BY LADY QUEX

GIBRALTAR AND SINGER DO WELL

The spell of fine weather has improved the New Plymouth tracks wonderfully the last few days, and the trial grass, oh which the galloping took place yesibrday, was the fastest it has been for some months. Nearly all the hprses ■engaged at Trenthaffi apd Wgvertey were galloped and performed well., ■ R. Johnson sent Arvada and' Royal Bengal three furlongs bn- the plough. Both moved very nicely, taking 40$ec. for. the ■ distance. , Mbnaghhii’s task, was a working gallop over a mile,' and he hit but freely all the way. ■ Cornerman and Sparkling Mprp did an easy six furlongs at a little faster than three-quarter .pace. ■ Garrick, who ''appears to be quit? himself again, worked freely on the plough. GJowlight, who ha,s no immediate engagements, was given easy' exerefee on tho iiisjde. ' ’ Gold Dawn demonstrated that ehe is -goiiig the right way im her preparation by leaving five fiirlofigi' bbhjnd iii easy fashion in Imin. 3 4-ssec., the'first three taking 37sec. She v-gs moving well all the way. ' ■■ ..,/•. The best effort of the morning wgg that of Lady Quex, who beat Qrapai by three lengths over; half "a mile in 49|sec. They' were together until a hundred yards from home, where the mare drew away from her cothpanipn. Orapai, who has had an eafsy tiipesjnbe his' return from Ellerslie; was not ridden out at the ffnjtsli. Lady Quex. is iri ' great order and is sure”to go well al Trent.harpl Her owner, Mr. \V. Gz Eineiiy, engaged B. H. Moyne by cable to ride her at tjiat meeting. Aferry Why demonstrated that she is a appedy sort by running away from March, AJope over three furlongs in 3$ sec. Thia filly will py6ba|jly accompany Lady Quey to Trenttem. 1 . March r'Alpne, ■who was having his first fast since •Wanganui, wap hot hurried alopg and will de a,lot better nfext' time. A fiiio seven /urlonga ‘was dope by Gibraltar hpd Singer? wjio; assisted by Alisa Chatter over the last five, ran .the diatafico in lipin. 30 ißbsec., tho Igpt •five taking- lm|n. ssec. Singer was weß clear moat of’the way, but Gibraltar made up a lot of ground and wgs only a short neck behind at the finish. It was an impressive effort on the part of both horses.
