BAROSCOPE’S GOOD FORM KARANGAPAI’S fine hurdling. FINAL GALLOPS AT ELLERSLIE. By Telegraph—Press Association. , ' Auckland, June 1. The weather was fine for the final gallops at Ellerslie, but there was a very heavy fog over the course until about 8 30, and all the fast work was done after that hour. No. 1 grass trackwas open, while the hurdles were erected on the outside of the course proper. After heavy rain the ground was sodden, but good efforts were recorded. Those to impress most on the flat were Baroscope, Tradesman, King Rey, Good Hunting, Lord Vai, Horowhenua and Rebel Chief. ■ , Among the hurdlers Stanchion and Karangapai pleased most, while Pahu, Clan Ronald and Royal Limond were responsible for a good showing over the. steeplechase course. . One of the best efforts oyer a round was by Baroscope, who beat Kiltowyn in Im. 55 2-55., the last seven taking Im. 335. and the final six Im. 19 l-5s-Baroscope handled the heavy going well, but Kiltowyn appeared to be hampered b Monanui beat Royal Potoa comfortably over six,furlongs in Im. 21 4-ss. . Chile and Master Musk ran a round in Im. 59 3-ss. Both worked well. Versant, On Parade and Teddy Boy were bunched after half a mile.

Horowhenua finished several lengths in front. Rerepai was given; useful, work, completing his .last half-mile in 54 l-ss.

Whistling Rufus and Rasouli. The time recorded was Im. 20 2-55., and Karangapai gave a bold display. ’ There was only one school over the steeplechase country, when Clan Ronald, Pahu, Royal Limond, Forest Glow, Domo and Bells of Bow were sent for a round and, with the exception of Bells of Bow, who came to grief at the stone wall , at the foot of the hill, they all fenced safely. Clan Ronald was first over the hill and had a good lead coming to the fences on the flat, but Pahu and Royal Limond were with him at the; finish. Pahu gave a good exhibition, as did Royal Limond, who gave the others a start and was with them at the end. ■, . Kiltowyn was : scratched -for the Cornwall Handicap at 1.22. p.m.
