HAWKE’S BAY.

HASTINGS TRACK WORK. Napier, Sept-emuer v 9. The work on the course this morning was not of an interesting nature some of our horses being away at Wanganui, while the Hon. J. D. Ormond’s team were not down. Quinl'ivan’s lot were the first to set the ball rolling. Float, on the plough (which, by the way, is in very good order) galloped by herself once round and finished well, running a serviceable gallop. Olympus trotted and cantered a couple of rounds, and Cobra did likewise. Melodeon', Spoil, and Rcseshoot galloped once round. The Guineas candidate seemed to hold the others pretty safe. Gold Dust by himself galloped six furlongs on the outside of the course proper in good style. Evening Tattle and Gooseman's team all did slow work. Tutungarehu alone galloped five furlongs on -the plough, running good time. A.B.N. and Benefactor trotted round to the once-round post and then jumped off and galloped a circuit. The last-named had all the Lest of the gallop, finishing well in front. Seraphine alone sprinted five furlongs on the plough in good style. Ontario, by himself, on the grass, strode along for one circuit, running the best gallop of the morning. Taura and Horatia galloped seven furlongs <ll the plough finishing together. Phar/s and Defce put in a. serviceable round on the grass after trotting one round. (-asis and Aroha did a like task, Paymaster picking them up at the six fuclon’g post. A number of others were doing slow work.
