. KICCAKXOIS' TIiAIXING NOTES-. Friday. Ferfcct weather prevailed again this morning, and tho ploug-hcd gallop, upon which practically all the work was accomplished, provided good going. Proceedings wore characterised by tlio work being- chiefly of the useful order, and it was. therefore, not of a particularly interesting character. Outalnder compassed twa circuits at half and three-quarter pacing, tho last half-mile. occupying- G7 l-Gsec. Masterpiece and Counterfeit ran tho lft3t half-mile of a medium pace circuit in 55aoc, arid Cronstadt, with Troon tor a companion, negotiated a circuit at halfspeed, 'finishing, up fast over the last two furlongs. Miadam Madcap (Jones) with Heather Brae acting- as pacemaker over tha first furlong, ran half a mile from a standing start in Blsoc, finishing- strongly. Nyland (Oliver) gave Boanerycs (Hatch) a couple of lengths start, and defeated him by a little mora than a length m a spin over six furlonga, which Nyland ran in lmin 17 l-ssec. St Felix and St Petersburg brushed over three furlongs in iiSsee. Kilosteri (Young) gr.vo Goodwin Park (JA'Mullan) n decisive beating over a mile, run in ]min. 4fijsec, and his effort was a distinct improvement upon his poor display of yesterday. Lady Moutoa spurted half a mils pleasingly in BO l-stiec, a distance that Fiarnbeau and Croßbie separately ran in s(Jsec. Countermine (Emerson) galloped five furlongs in lmin 3 4-ssec. Dearest defeated Gipsy Belle over four furlongs on tho sand, run in <t'J l-ssec. San Lass thii six furlongs in lniiji 21 2-osec. Electrakofli'a task was seven furlongs nt threequarter speed. Merry Frank put in a working gallop over six furlongs. Tangeroa defeated Expansion over half a utile run in 51 •l-Dsec. Thero was little to choose be-tv.-een Ahuapai and Sapience over half a mile, run in 5-2 l-ssec. Krinengarde (Oliver) registered a good performance by defeating Undecided (Hatch), and Kangiatua (light weight) by two lengths over ha!/ a milo ni'i in -19 :t-usee. Full Hate was not extended while running live furlengsi in .lmin •Iscc. 3toyal Scotch (Tj. Wilson) registered an attractive performance by giving Midnight Sun (Jenkins) ;t start, and a several lengths beating in a gallop m-er six furlongs, which he ran in lmin ll'iaee, finishing well. Bracken brushed over a, similar distance in iuiiu ffisee. Oka, v/i'.h a feather weight up. murted half a mile in 5<J 4-ss;vc. Andrea

showed to more advantage than Athenic in a sprinting task, and Kaglestono defeated Master Paxil over half a mile, run in 52scc. The following horses were amongst the large number out exercising that performed useful to light tasks:—Effort, Ebonite, Prim, Stephanos, Foil, Martine, Amalgam, Query, St Aidftii, Bliss, Olnde, Bandore, Coroniforrn. Colleen Mary, Autumnus. Goid Pin, Winning Way, Avarice, Foam Flake. Domino, Dearest, Clanmcua, Itaso Noble, Sea King. Santa Claus, Nikon, Nithadaie, Mitlga Bill, Miscount, Mil?, Merrivonia, Equilns, All (Suns, Big- Blast, - Labour Oaj', John Bnnyan. Ai.nsdale, Mcfecambe, Genius, Aimwell. Alexis and Los Angeloa. After breakfast Bonny CI len spurted half a mile in SHsee. Turbiuo (C. Emerson) c.'ashetl over three furlongs on the tan in 3Grcc, Yodel ran half a mile in si2sec, and Ireland (M'Clunky) brushed over fivo furlongs in lmin ssec. finishing under a pull. Hohungatahi finished strongly over tho last part of a medium pace circuit, and Martian Maid and Passion performed a similar task. A number of two-year-olds wore out and did steady pacing. ltauroa, who bled after work on Monday, has done practically nothing since, which must prejudice his chance in to-morrow's raco. Connterminn is lrano, and is ft doubtful starter for the Stewards' Handicap. Glenapring, who arrived yesterday, was out, and cantered once round.
