LATE TRAINING.

TUESDAY. Being-a fine morning, a lot of useful work was done, mostly on the sand track. Wee Olga and Sea Elf ran five furlongs in lmin 6 2-ssec, being together. Antoinette, Worcester, and another rattled off six furlongs in lmin 19 4-5 sec, in the order named. Master Theory put in a couple of rounds on the tan at half pace, alone. Goldsize beat Nimrod over nine furlongs in 2min 4sec, easing up. 'Manuwera, alone, compassed a circuit at threequarter speed. The gray gelding Flip Flap ran round the circle at threequarter pace. Waimangu, alone, strode over a mile in lmin 47 4-ssec. Sir Artegal easily held Monoplane at the end of a threequarter mile spin, run in lmin 20 2-ssec. Hey Boy spurted half a mile in 55sec. 'Smilax had the better of Bow Bells in a four furlong spin, in 51 4-ssec. Ruatangata was better than Light Blue for threequarters of a mile, in lmin 22 l-ssec. St. Amans and Surplus put in a ■couple of rounds each (separately) at a good threequarter pace. Don Quex stayed out nine furlongs better than Haku, who was in trouble, in 2min 6 l-ssec. Pyralis put in a fair half pace circuit. Coronetted had a companion well beaten in a six furlong jaunt, in lmin 22sec.

La Reina was pulling over the top of Merrimax from the seven furlong mark, in lmin 36 l-ssec.

It was only a matter of form for Penfold to beat Sky High in a round over the hurdles.

Fuss headed Bonny Jean at the end of nine furlongs, in 2min 8 2-ssec. Blue Mountain finished with more grit than Rutter over the battens, in lmin 57 3-ssec.

Sea Pink and Crown Pearl were together, defeating Captain Soult, over seven furlongs, in lmin 34sec. Kohinoor skipped over four furlongs in 53sec. Bonny, alone, jumped boldly over the obstacles and should be useful latei" on.

Tobias was even with Cloudy Dawn, on sufferance, in • a half mile spin in 55sec. The former is sore. ■

Blue Garment was worrying Lady Dot from the four furlong post, in 51 l-ssec.

A (quartette of moderates, <Maui Nina, Vestae, Pyrmont and Delilah, scrambled over four furlongs, in 54 2- in the above order. Tui Cakobau and Dunborve put in their usual two rounds at top, the i ormer in front. Lucille sprinted a few furlongs at top. The Soult mare looks well. Coigns of vantage were sought out when Presently and Lloyds put in an appearance. The former led all the way and gave an excellent display of jumping, running round in lmin 51 3Paritutu, alone, negotiated five hurdles, and finished up by jumping the double jump and stonewall. Omati had First Barrel at his mercy at the end of a circuit, in 2min llsec. Loch Fyne, The Reckoner and another put in two solid rounds, being together. Bogey brushed home from the four furlong post in 54 4-ssec. Royal Irish, who seems sore, cantered.

Grenadier, with his owner up, strode over nine furlongs on the tan

at threequarter pace. The Soult gelding seems sound. Appin, with the ancient Wellcast for a leader, jumped the big country, but the stonewall coming into the straight found his weak spot and he baulked but negotiated it the next try. Wellcast limped home. Hunakaha, Mozart, Rebel and Master Phaeton went round the Steeple chase country. The two latter pulled up after jumping the double, and Hunakaha and Mozart did another round, when the latter came to grief at the sod wall. Hunakaha fenced boldly.

Joe Ross, a son of Frank Ross, the trainer, was thrown from Hey Boy at Onehunga on 'Wednesday morning. Ross was conveyed to the hospital. Victor Coleman is the busy bee among the cross country riders at Ellerslie. On Tuesday morning he schooled Bonny and Blue Mountain over the hurdles and Paritutu over

the hurdles and steeple jumps. Coleman had rather a rough ride on Blue Mountain, the gelding rapping the timber hard.
