CimiSTCiiuncH, this day.
No important work done at Riccarton thi s morning. Nelson cantered two miles. Gipsy King, Sextant and Hermitage went very steady once round. Moana was sweated, and Ruby galloped a mile fast. Cruchh'eld, Artillery and Regina were confined to walking exercise, and Torrent and Lorraine were not out. Artillery will probably gallop this afternoon, bub Lorraine was very lame yesterday.
Lucky Sports.

They laid oft £3,000 to £200, and consequently, as their horse only came in second, they win £2,200, or £400 more than they would have received had their horso won bhe Cup.
