TE RAPA TRACKS.

THE MORNING’S ACTIVITY.

SEVERAL JUMPERS SCHOOLED. There was considerable activity at Te Rapa this morning when a number of the local jumping -contingent with engagements ahead were schooled •over hurdles. The best gallop of the morning was that of Limex who recorded a bright half-mile essay on the course proper where the flags were fully 45ft. out from the rails.

L’Allegro and Allegretto. L’Allegro and Allegretto were worked before breakfast over a round of -steady pace work on the plough. Lady Quex was also allotted useful work -on the plough. Cruachan, who is bearing a bright appearance just now, encompassed a couple -of rounds on the plough at half pace.

A Promising Half-mile. -With Boughal ( Acre-Rangltere), J, Day up, to assist him Paganelli (O, Mclnaily) -came home from the half-mile peg in 545. Paganelli was clear at the end but It was nevertheless a commendable effort -on the part of the Acre-Rangitere -gelding. Tradesman moved freely over a round on the plough, Reilly’s charge is not going to Avondale but has been freely nominated for the Trentham gathering on October 19, 21 and 23. If -present intentions are adhered to the Te Rapa sprinter will make the trip to Wellington this month. The Best of the Morning.

Limex (H. Long) reeled off the best half-mile of the morning scampering home in 535. Sinking Fund (G. Connor) was to have accompanied Limex but hit -out too soon and the- latter had to go off on her own. She was ■soon picked up by Sinking Fund, however, and the latter went with her for the greater part of the trip. It was ■a good effort. Killader ‘ (Heka) and the AcreLassoo -gelding (C. Goulsbro) got to the end of five furlongs in 1.8.

Not After Time. Miss L-uiu (Chandler) and the A’cre-Catmor.e gelding (Goulsbro) were not after -time in leaving three furlongs behind in 425. Sir Glaniis was among those to be worked at steady -pace. Homelight finished off a circuit at -half-pace by sprinting up -the -straight.

Good Jumping Display. Day Rose (P. Brady) gave a promising -display over a round cxf fences, taking her -obstacles in full stride. She is entered for the Hunters’ Hurdles at the Waikato Hunt on Labour Day.

Balmeanaeh (J. -Day) and Sea Ruler (A. Gilmer) gave a safe exhibition ■over a round. Balmeanaeh may lack the necessary experience for his pending Cambridge outing but he cannot be lightly discarded as he possesses the ability to take his fences ■cleanly.

Valpal’s Exhibition. Valpai (J. Mcßae) was sohooled in company with Ruby Meteor (R. E. Thomson) but -his display was by no means an impressive one. He risked several fences ancl did not appear to be at home at any stage of the trip. However, he Is only a novice as yet and may improve with experience. Ruby Meteor showed out to better advantage.

Luminary (W. Rennie) made his reappearance on the track this morning and fenced safely over a circuit of obstacles.

Over Steeplechase Country. Glenade (Thomson) and Wiltshire (Gilmer) safely negotiated a section of the Steeplechase country, taking on the sod wall and the two brush hurdles at the top of the straight. Both gave a commendable exhibition. Glenade’s particularly impressed as his previous experience of the big country was confined to the negotiation of one brush last week.
