SPORTING.

IIICCARTOSf TRAINING- NOTES. T , ~ "Wednesday. it was an ideal morning and the tracks ware in capital order. A let of interesting schooling work was accomplished. Prospector, with M'.Leim, & diminutive lad of thirteen years, for a pilot, negotiated the doubles m good style, and subsequently coinuasacd two circuits on the No. <f track at * solid half-speed. T;mira (Telford), looking- in capita! fettle,- put in a schooling task over sit flights *f hurdles, and but for an indifferent juirip at tho fourth obstacle his performance was entirely satisfactory. Compass galloped a circuit on the sand at three-quarter speed, going freely and, beinsr anxious to improve the pace. Lovoll ■ (Telford), who Is bearing a- well-trained appearance, gave a finished exhibition of jumping in a schooling task once round over the big fences. Kiatere (Hutchinson) and Bullwor'th (T. Pine) were companions in a schooling task over the bigl fences. Commencing over the post and rails they once round, finishing over tho double. Riatero eave one of his usual safo displays, but Bullworth'a work was not so pleasing as his effort last week. Howick (To'.ford) and Paksui (Rice) set out for a schooling task over six flights of hurdles. At the third obstacle Pakau struck heavily aud dislodged his rider, who escaped without injury. Howick completed tlie circuit, his effort bein? fairly satisfactory, although susceptible of much improvement. Dreadlcsa (F. D. Jones) traversed a circuit- on the sand at_ half-speed, brushing- over tho last halfmile in 49 .l-ssec, a pleasing performance Mahuta (Murtagh), Waitapu (Cochrane) and Stayboy (Douglas) were companions 'in a schooling task over five flights' of hurdles. At the first obstacle Stavboy dislodged his rider, who was unhurt. The other pair continued on together, and a"l wont well until reaching; the last flight, when Mahuta, who was going strongly and appeared to ha-vo Waitapu well beaten, struck the obstacle and dislodyed his rider, who was fortunate in OBcapine; with ii severe shaking'. Waitarm's fencing- was an improvement on his previous effort. Southern Cross (Redmond) negotiated two flights, while Stayboy (Douglas), after being remounted, wont once round over five flights, fencing- satisfactorily. Le Beau (J. Jones), Loch SVno (Speakman) and Red .M'Gregor (Windsor) then set out for a schooling task over the big fences, commencing over the post and rails. The trio started off in strag-rrliiiK order. L-e Befell leading at « solid pace several lengths in front of Ixxsh Fyne, with Red some distance away. At the end of a round Red M'Gresror, who had given a safe, if somewhat slow, exhibition of junipin?. was cased up. La Beau continued to lead Loch Fyne. and both horses went on for another round, finishing over tho double. They fenced fault'essly Ihroug-houb, and it was a fhio piece of schooling work, in which both horses, who pulled up well, acquitted themselves with every credit Waione (Cochrane) and E&moof, together, performed a schooling- task once round over the big- fencos, commencing over the double. Roth horses fenced slowly, and Waione ran off at the first fence of the double the I&st time, but was brought back and fiu iumwpd it correctly. Tyrannic (Cress), who followed some distance behind, gava one of his usual safe displays, artho\v*h he was «rin? at litt'e better than a. htratina pace throve?bout. E*»losfve (J. Jones) performed fairly satisfactorily in a schoolm? task over four flisrhts of hurdles. The following horses were amon?st those who did useful to iask*':— Pais'ano, Bonny Glen, Tawhaki.
