HAWKES BAY

(From Our Own Correspondent.) NAPIER, May 23Punananga has joined the active brigade under the direction of A. Raynor at Greenmeadows. Centaur is fast recovering from the injuries he received at Waipukurau last Easter MondayMultiple, who was recently acquired by J. McLaughlin, is being pushed along in his tasks, and, all going well with him in the meantime he is sure to be seen out at the winter venure of the Auckland Racing Club. The mishap that Full Cry met with has not proved so severe as was at first anticipated, and this week it is intended to give Reynard’s son a go over the country to just see how bad or how good he is. Nothing like finding out quickly what is the matter has always been a maxim of J. McLaughlin’s, one of whose students Full Cry is.

Golden Water still continues to do good work over the small sticks on the preparing grounds at Napier Park.

The elder full brother to Kohinoor and Star and Garter, Cullinan, is doing all that is asked of him in a satisfactory'.style over the circuits at Napier Park- A big, bold fellow, who knows how to gallop, he should with credit carry the navy blue and gold of the Squire' of Okawa in the near future. The rising two-year-old half-sister to Mahutonga and. Kopu by St. Ambrose is shortly to be sent down from Te .Mahanga station to J- Munn at Hastings.: The young ’un is a rather plain sort of a filly to look at, but viewing her. from behind she shows plenty of lifting power. Ddrando, a son of Ruby’s by San Fran,'is galloping in a very pleasing styles' over the tryout at Hastings. Mr. Wi Pura, the native sport at Arapawanui, has got Donald in active commission once more, and the ancienPspn of Virginia Water’s is hitting'out in a hearty manner. With the weight adjustment favourable he is a ; /sure runner at Hastings next mont& ‘

J. Lagor has Pumoana and a rising two-year-old filly of San - Fran and Waiau un work at Te Aute. The. pair present/'a l healthy/ hearty condition, : and -ft' /they do not fly too high will', probably' place' a stake or two to the credit of their native owner ere many moons have passed.

All Trumps, who has lately been schooled over the hurdles, has gone amiss, and as a result The Ofiicer’s daughter has been retired. Owing to another horse having the first claim to the name of Nero, the Turquoise gelding who used to race in this name will now figure on the card as Oren, which is Nero reversed; not much originality, forsooth, in the cognomen of Mr. Twist s gelding. The veteran Needlework is acquitting himself satisfactorily in his lepping tasks on the circuits at Hastings. , , One of the most improved horses over the battens at Hastings is Captain Jingle, whose fencing is of an artistic nature.
