THE TURF.

PARADE OF YOUNG HORSES.

SPRINTS AT RICCARTON

(Special to the “ Guardian.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day

The parade of young horses at Riccarton yesterday 'was a pronounced success, in spite of the uninviting conditions, all the entrants, with two exceptions, were produced, and the four divisions provideu much interest. As in most juvenile parades, although decided under race conditions, there was no serious competition for place honours, but the form shown by many of the participants was interesting, in view of their racing next season. Mr J. Bridges was starter, and dispatched the four fields on even terms.
