Auckland Training Notes.

[Pek Pbess Association.] AUCKLAND, Dec. 19. This morning Turquoise and Wood Nymph were sent the Cup distance in company, being picked up in the last mile by Youth. The gallop was the best yet seen on the course, and the way Wood Nymph stuck to Turquoise throughout surprised those present. She was very little distanced when she pulled up. Welcome Jack went twice round alone on the plough at a strong pace, the last three-quarters of a mile being got over in lmin 20sec. Ninnie was treated to a fast mile, and the jumping horse Linwood did long and slow work. Sou-Wester and Ugly Buck (in company) were sent once round at top speed, both going freely and well, but the firstnamed could have evidently left his companion at any part of the journey. Clarence and Barbary did servicable work together. The last named showed no signs of lameness, but moved a trifle short after cantering once, round. Administrator (with George Williams up), broke away for a fast spin, covering the last three-quarters of a mile in lmin 19sec. This horse is in real good nick, and got over the ground in a taking manner. Poet with Sutherland in the saddle, went twice round at a fair pace ; and Minerva did a fast mile and a quarter. Macaroni was sent three times round, going very strongly. Libeller and Tetford did walking exercise. Necklace did not put in an appearance.
