She afterwards won the double at Alexandra Park. Waitati spurted five furlongs in Imin 4sec, finishing in good style. Pearl Necklet, who does not seem to improve, took Imin 36 4-ssec to finish the last seven furlongs of a mile. Carl Rosa, nicely, left the four furlongs behind in olsec on the tan. Annette beat Vivandel pointless in a seven furlongs run in Imin 32 3-ssec. King Paul strode over nine furlongs at three-quarter pace, while his stablemate, Lady Clements, spurted four furlongs on the inside of the tan in 47 3-ssec. The costly Monoform had Syren settled in a five furlongs sprint in Imin 4 4-ssec. Conductor had Lady Hune shaken oft at the end of a four furlongs flutter; the last three furlongs in 36 4-ssec. The Lark and another spurted a few furlongs, finishing together. Mr. Geo. Wright’s newly-acquired Ironmould looked big, and was restricted to halfpace work. Inniskillen had a couple of rounds on the tan, the last at top, finishing up in Imin 58 2-ssec. Jewellery, with weight up, ran a few furlongs at her best gait. Bonomiana, looking very big, took Imin 7sec to finish the last five of six furlongs. All eyes were turned on Gladstone, Putty, and Scotty, who jumped off at the winning post on the tan, and dapping on steam finished the round in this order in Imin 51 2-ssec; decidedly the best performance of the morning. Putty finished close up, while Scotty (with Ryan in the saddle) was beaten off. Delania, looking none the worse for her Takapuna racing, did useful three-quarter pace work. Lord Seaton had a credit of Imin 48 1-5 sec for a mile on the sand track, finishing fairly well. Sir Gilead had P. Conway for a pilot, and spurted a few furlongs after a half-pace circle. Lysea, who is in work again, did useful work. Landlock did likewise. Discoverer cut onit the six furlongs in a tick under Imin 20sec on the sand. General Average had a ’.ength to the good in a four furlongs flutter with Nervine in 49 2-ssec. Desdemona, finishing strongly, ran four furlongs in 50sec on the tan. Mahutonga, who was anxiously looked for, now put in an appearance (with J. Buchanan up), but the onlookers had to be content to witness a couple of half-pace rounds. The last year’s Cup winner looks big and bright, and would only want a few gallops to make him cherry ripe. Puhipuhi took Imin 57 3-ssec to complete the nine furlongs on the tan, and does not look like a Cup winner, although bred on correct lines. Mr. Harry Tonks worked his team, Lingard and Co., on the tan. After breakfast some sprinting was indulged in, and the course had its holiday attire on and looking quite gay with the different coloured tents in readiness for the floral fete. TUESDAY. Most oflthe work was done on the tan track, which the trainers now find useful, as the ground is getting hard. Waitati and Sir Hector had a five furlongs burst, finishing /together in Imin 1 l-ssec. Putty, who looks a picture, was indulged in two separate three furlongs sprints,

moving nicely. Inniskillen and a mate had a medium-pace circuit, and then broke away for another round at top in Imin 57 2-ssec. Monoform 'finished in front of Scotty on the sand in 2min Isec, once round. Leonator dressed Discoverer down in a five furlongs flutter in Imin 2 3-ssec.

The Marguerite colt had a credit of 51 3-ssec for four furlongs. Sir Gilead had no chance with the Cup candidate Mahutonga, who finished up the nine furlongs in Imin 53 4-ssec.
