ELLERSLIE. A lot of useful work was accomplished this morning at Ellerslie by horses engaged at Rotorua, Waiuku, Taranaki and Wanganui. Kola Nip, with Gall in the saddle, led Lord Seaton for a mile on the sand in the slow time of 51 3-ssec. Dardanus spurted four furlongs on the sand track in 53 sec. Uhlander, who is very well at present, spurted over the same distance in 52 3-ssec, in company with Lady Winnie, but the latter tired to nothing. Bonomiana fairly bolted away from Geordie for three-quarters of a mile in Imin 22 2-ssec. The latter is a horse of moods, and cannot be depended on for track gallops. Octoroon .
