Except for those Intended to race on the opening day there remain two weeks in which to put on the On Uthtng touches, and the unread homes will he few. Snob as then- ar will possibly owe thai to in,. .,, ; u. ai ihe, leal t i !!■• op acconnl or Individual ailuieuu ,i mishaps. Mr. Reagrams ,t die their winter and early spring v.oik al Waterloo and came here ripe and ready for the sharpening process. That they were in condition to take an edge was shown by their work Sunday morning. The showers about day bleak had made the track slower, hut the watch 1 proved thai it was far from actually bad traveling. 1 I The best mile of the vear was shown when Throck- 1 mortem went one tars of the track in 1:44;. Ihe I first half better than SO seconds. The son of Barrator I is a tree -running, "glib" fellow, and has always I been a speedy morning horse, but lacks stability. I His speed is not supported by reliability, and a I horses quality is determined by the public test, not I bv private liials. i lie- good looking Plater, IVarltisher. went a mib 1 in company with Maximum in 1:47?. the latter .1 taking ihe longer route. Mill on the Floss led Miss Grcenan and Bd Haines I a mile in 1:1b1. The English coll was outpaced all I tie- war. i Mcndip and My Valet, both in the Plate, did a 1 mile in 1:49;. in company with the four-year-old 1 Numerates. I Bouquet, tin- Seagram stable champion, had no 1 company in her spin, and did all that was wanted 1 of her without the Incitement of competition.

Were accompanied by last years winner. Seismic. Their task was a mile in 1:17s. Dog of War went alone six furlongs in 1:19 and a mile a second slower than tin lot which preceded him. He is a high headed. willing runner, and his early speed should cut some figure in the running of Hie Plate. Lady Miliicr and ruche dOr did their mile in 1:491. and the work was top-ied off by the rattling mile of Throckinoi-leii. already noticed. Fort Garry also gave an encouraging display when sent along a mile and a furlong with Canute Maid. The rating was a trilie Irregular, but the wheal result was a capital showing, and Ihe Barrie colors will l c very creditably represented when the hfticlli running of the Plate occurs. The Fort Hunter colt went the first half mile in 504. three-quarters in | 1:10, mile in 1:47 . and nine furlongs in 2:02. This was the end of the work, but he was timed pulling up the next lurlong to cover a mile and a quartet in 2:17:. This is the best move at the distance by any of the Platers, and it was accomplished without i difficulty. The work was from the post half way ro.ind the t«B bend to the head of the stretch, so that trainer pyuicnt was not giving his horses any the best of it when they finished around the turn, lb- seemed greatly pleased with the steady improve- sseal ShOW a BJ the Fort Hunter colt under training conditions, ami less regretful oi the enforced absence of Courtown II. from competition.

From what looked like a cracked heel, the iff fore leg began to fill and the horse limped decidedly, but under treatment the Swelling came down, the sore heel di-.appe.iri d and lie galloped without any sign of trouble. Whatever Ihe ailment, it went away as rapidly as it had appeared. Waterbridge did six furlongs in 1:19-; and Tin- General Armstrong led Bazaar a half in 53 seconds.
