SEVERAL FINE EFFORTS.

LORD VAL GOES WELL.

BAROSCOPE—ARMACOURT

(Special to Times.) AUCKLAND, Thursday

A cold wind made matters very unpleasant for the final gallops at Ellerslie this morning prior to the Pakuranga Hunt meeting. The No. 1 grass on which the poles were out 10ft was available for fast work and though no rain had fallen since yesterday morning the going was very heavy. Enlightenment was well clear of Aymon over six furlongs run in 1.25. The first three took 43 1-5 s and Enlightenment was finishing -on at the end.

Kelly -completed a similar task in 1.22, the first three in 40 3-ss. Air 'Lassie was not after time while running six furlongs In 1.29 3-5. She does not appear to go weM in the heavy ground.

After trotting once round, Imamint covered half-a-mile in 55 1-os. She ran the first -three in 40 4-5 s and had little in reserve -at the finish.

Lord Val’s Effort. Lord Val was well in front of Wee Pat at the end of a mile in 1.53 2-os, the last six furlongs in 1.25 1-5. Lord Val did his work nicely. Te Broney and The Vamp ran five furlongs in 1.12 3-5, the former appearing to he doing the better of the pair.

Gay Defence had Tybalt as a companion -over six furlongs which they ran in 1.22. They went fast early; taking 40 l-5s -for the first three and there was little between them at the end.

Baroscope hit out over a mile, running the last seven furlongs in 1.38 3-5, Lady. Diana assisting him over the last four furlongs which occupied 55 3-ss. Baroscope did his work in good style and is not without prospects on Saturday. Hunting Maid finished well clear of Charsong over five furlongs in 1.12 1-5,

Gainsay and Valpai. Gainsay and Valpai were associated over a round, running the distance in 2.10. The last six furlongs took 1.35 and Gainsay was about a length in front at the finish but Valpai looked as if he could have done better. After running his first three furlongs in 39 l-5s Kiltowyn completed six. furlongs in 1.22 3-5. He went evenly throughout and was staying on at the end.

Express and Teddy Boy finished in front of Roman Mascot over six furlongs in 1.24> 2-5. The first-named pair: worked impressively. Red Flame was going comfortably to cover five furlongs in 1.15.

Over a similar distance Armacourt registered 1.8 1-5, the last four furlongs taking 53 3-ss. This was the best five furlongs effort of the morning.

Braoelet Candidates. The Ladies’ Bracelet candidates Marching Song and Sir Romeo, aftei running their first three furlongs in 40 4-5 s got to the end of six furlongs In 1.23 4-5. They were practically on terms at the finish. Primak and Gascelle took 2.6 4-5 to complete a round and had had enough at the finish. Jewelled -Girdle was not doing his best at any part of a six furlongs gallop which took 1.30 2-5. This maiden is in right condition to give a gooa account of himself on Saturday. -Chief Emerald (Simpson) and Supreme Ruler (Turvey) gave a safe display over two hurdles in the centre of the course. Principal Boy Shapes Well. Principal Boy (J. Smith) was sent -over four hurdles, giving a really good exhibition. Hawthorn (J. Mcßae) and Tea Chat (Simpson) gave their usual good display over two hurdles. Winding Trail (C. Thomson) was sent over a couple of hurdles in the centre twice, jumping pleasingly. He will be making his first appearance in public at Ellerslie on Saturday. Prosy Boy (Webby), Miss Pango (J. Mcßae), Kahunoke (Mcllroy), Illuminagh (R. E. Thompson), Red Brae (A. McDonald), Lanner (C. Thomson) and living Rod (Mr Wells) were associated over a round of the steeplechase course. Commencing at the sodwall they all jumped safely till clearing the stonewall where Iliuminagh ran up the right-of-way leading off the course and King Rod was pulled up.

Kahunoko Baulks. The others continued over the brush and up the hill where Kahunoke baulked at the first fence on top. At this stage Prosy Boy was leading Miss Pango and Red Brae with Lanner some distance back. The order was much ■the same when again taking the fences on the flat till they came to the first of the double where Miss Pango hit hard and dislodged her rider. Lanner ran off at the second fence. Prosy Boy took the stonewall and the last obstaclo well in front of Red Brae while Lanner, who continued'in after he ran off, also jumped it. Illuminagh was brought back on to the course and completed a round safely. Kahunoke, after refusing several times on the hill, was brought down to the fences on the flat which lie -cleared satisfactorily.
