Always one of the leading division, ' after begining smartly from the rails, he battled on very resolutely in the concluding .. stages and appeared unlucky to miss a decision. He will not lack support the j next time he is required to sport silk. Night Pilot Improves Night Pilot improved on first day runf / Ring to run the favourite Volifox, to three 1 parts of a length in the Spring Handicap on Monday and now that he appears to be definitely on the upgrade this consistent performer of last season will bear keeping in mind for pending engagements. Fairly well back in the middle stages be impresed on the latter day by the manner in which he was battling on under conditions that were not entirely suited to him. He appears among the entries Tor the Wellington Handicap at Trenthani this month and nicely placed with 7.1 1 he should give a forward account of his capabilities if the i trip is undertaken. Disappointed The form of Brandon Hall at the Paku- ’ ranga Hunt earlier in the season was such lo draw attention to his rerent prospects at Ellerslic but he failed on either day, tiring out or a place on the opening day after attempting to win from end to end and running oil' at the fence by the mile post on the Monday. The nature of his work (mediately prior to the Auckland meeting was such to suggest he have done .better. Clansman Wins Well Clansman w;is responsible for a dashing poiii'orniaince in winning i3lie, Onehungvi Steeplechase, drawing to the lead early in proceeding? and ,-taying on solidly to win with something in reserve. ills good fencing was a feature of his display and he may win further for liis connections. Landveyor Narrowly Fails Landveyor marie a bold attempt to steal a march In the concluding event at !
