Late Racing.

On Tuesday morning the South Auckland and Te Aroha candidates were stretched out at Ellerslie. Jolie Fille, who has done a lot of racing round the country meetings successfully, looks Veil. The mare put in a couple of useful rounds. Blue Garment, with Gall in the saddle, sprinted half a mile in 53sec. on the gra3s. Manurewa beat a mate on the grass at the end of 7fur. 3 . run in I.34sec. Bon Jour had Bully in trouble in a circuit on the grass in 1.57 3-ssec. Admiral Soult and Master Jack were together at the end of 6fur. on the grass in I.lßsec. Maxwell, who has 7.7 in the Wanganui Cup, is doing good work, aifl will probably have the services of Mark Ryan. Mr Sam Bradley, the Onehunga sportsman, may pick up a race with First Wairiki before Jong. Mine host of the Occidental Hotel, Mr J. E. Thorpe, captured the Tramway Handicap with Lady Doctor on Saturday last.

Watchchain and Zinnia were picked up by Tipperary over the last four of 7 fur. Watchchain had Zinnia well beaten in 1.30 4-ssec. on the grass. Delegate, Webfoot and Tui Cakobau had a turn over the double anjd stone wall and then negotiated the double and stone wall again. Delegate fenced beautifully. Bogey spurted 4fur. in 52sec on the grass. Delavalite and Condamine, over the same track, took 2sec. longer. Westerly, seemed better than Sphinx at the finish of a round over the hurdles. The latter Istruck the last fence very hard. Lloyds, alone, negotiated a few of the schooling battens in good style.
