The weather was fine aftei the previous day’s rain. 'rhe Ringmaster gelding was the lirst to galop, and with the lightweight L. Jackson in the saddle and close in against the rails he slipped over four furlongs in 49sec., though some watches made it faster. Ringcraft “broke" 24sec. for the initial two furlongs. He has yet, to make his debut in public, though he had a run with the colours up in Hie first division of the two-year-old parade at Wanganui, leading all the way. Submission (E. Ludlow) followed her .stablemate, but she was wider out on the track, and her live furlongs m J min. 2 3-ssec. was a. pleasing eiforl. She look 24sec. for the first two furlongs down the back and left three furlongs behind in a shade over 36sec 'the Limond iilly is engaged in the Shorts Handicap, Ihe open sprint al Trent ham on ‘i nursday, and with W. J. [Mudford in (he saddle at 7.10 she may be expected to run prominently. N Z. Cup Candidates. Entail (W. Rayner) and Lowenbcrg t K. Chote) were associated in a gailop over a mile, and the former pleased most. Tney got away lo an event start and ran the first two furlongs in 26sec., the half-mile in 52 2-s.ee. and the six furlongs in Imin. LSsec., from which stage Entail came on to finish three lengths in front, registering Imin. 41 3-ssec. The Pos- , terity gelding appeared to have something in reserve at. the finish. Homily (E. Ludlow) was moving along smoothly in a. fairly easy upm over six furlongs, taking Imin. s;>ec over the last live. She is lo luilil her Trentham engagements and will be ridden by N. R. McKenzie in the Wainui Handicap on Thursday. Golden Hawk was sent over lour furlongs but was not lutly extended . to register 50 4-ssec. for the distance.

She is to miss her Tail a Handicap engagement, in which she would haveDeen, pitied against some equally speedy juveniles. Horses for Waikato Hunt. Following the breakfast interval the !horses exercised included Promenade I and Baron Bold, who claim engagements at the w’aikato Hunt Club meeting on Labour Day. I Promenade, wno is in the Farmers' Steeplechase at Camoridge, was given ‘ useful pace-work and was then sent | along over six furlongs, returning the I good lime, lor a humor, of amm. ’2J--CC. The Resinour gelding has been ( placed in each of his two starts this ’(.season, and he may improve on his ’ rec-id ar. the Waikato J Hint moeimg, I where he will be ridden by Mr. o. i Pawson, junr. ' Wotan was nol. required to make time bin strode along over a couple of I circuits at from hah lo three-quarter pace. He appears lo be making good progress in his preparation for the Waverley Cup, which may he the : initial step in a campaign mat may ■ include the Aucnland ami WclimgLon Cups. An interesting gallop was that in which Eurol.a> Gvi. D. Horne), Dynasty (L. Jackson) mid Amatory Ilk. Chote; were associated. The trio jumped off at the six furlongs, Eurolas dwelling sligntly and giving me , other pair a start, of nearly two ’ lengths, 'fhey were almost abreast al ' the end of two furlongs, which took 25sec., and they readied the halfmile in 49 3-ssec. Eurotas and Dynasty here had an advantage over Amatory, and the hrsl-namcd linished slighby m ii ont of Dynasty in Imin. 15 2-osec., Amatory being lnice lengths away. Eurotas covered more ground their. . the other pair and gave a pleasing I display. Amatory has a “dicky" oil : foreleg and may not. be able to fulfil • his early engagements. Golden Pam (S. T. Edwards) and Portal (K. Chote) jumped off together al the live itiriongs but the nrst-named proved 100 smart lor hot companion, finishing three lengths ' ahead in Imin. 3 3-ssec., the last hall- ' mile being covered in 50 3-ssec.
