ON HASTINGS TRACKS

TUESDAY MORNING'S WORK. The Hastings tracks were still holding on Tuesday morning, and all fast work was performed on the grass, outside the trestles. Many horses who arc to race on Saturday were worked. Flute and Black Acre ran five furlongs in 2.7, Flute finishing in front. Royal Parade and Head Serang executed a nice working gallop over six furlongs in 1.25. They both look well. Shenanikida and the Lackham gelding in W. King’s charge sprinted five furlongs in 1.23. Shenanikida showed a nice turn of speed and finished in front. Merry Cry, a brother to Hunting Cry, and Zippor did a working gallop over seven furlongs in 1.37. Lady Makere and the gelding by The Ace in P. Smith's stable accomplished a fair gallop for six furlongs in 1.23, Lady Makere shaping well. Shrewd and Cuticle, with lightweights went attractively over half a mile in 51$s. Admiral Drake and Crown Jest ran five furlongs in 1.8. They are in nice order, but Admiral Drake is a bad track horse. Te Awha and Ruby Step covered a mile in 1.54. Te Awha was in front at the finish. Ruby Step showed speed in the early part. Psycho and Bengal did four furlongs in 51|e. Repay and Whakaari galloped a mile in 1.51, Repay going well. Huikai and* Lordlike, the latter on the big side, shaped attractively over six furlongs in 1.21. It was a pleasing performance. Queen’s Choice and Tahomo went seven furlongs in 1.341, the best gallop of the morning. Purseful and Cutaline, a two-year-ran half a mile in 54. sec. Tinowaiata and Nea Lap placed six furlongs behind in 1.234, Tinowaiata holding an advantage at the finish. Mouri Rangi jumped well over a round of the hurdles. Cloyne also did a similar task, showing promise. Kaokaoroa, Barracouta and Tawhairoa (Our King —Lupin mare) did a round over the hurdles, Kaokaoroa finishing in front. Tawhairoa fell and broke his leg and was shjt. His rider, E. Deslandes. received a cut over the right eye and his skull cap was crashed right in.
