THE LIGHT HARNESS SPORT.

! NOTES FROM CHRISTCHURCH. | (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") | rimisTCiiinr.il. Friday. I Adair Is now trained by W. J. Tomkin- ' son. The Southern-owned pacer looks aj , good (leal on the light side, and it may be j some time before he is ready to race. Locanda Hell is kept hard at it, and I appears to thrive on plenty of work, as I she is pal-inn: well. I The trotter proud Ata has trained on : well, and will be raced nt the canterbury I Park Club's meeting, provided he stands | the Unal winding-up process. Alter his return rrom Ininertln, J. Shaw pave his team a short lei up, but they am I all In work again and looking bright and i well. Man-o'-war docs a lot or saddle j work, which seems to suit him for races. | Peter liean looks none ihc worse ror his | i racinpr in the South. Ilareelona appears to . Ibe much soundeu than formerly, and is i pacing In fine slyle In training work. j I W. Smitn has Avenue pacing well. The j horse seems lo have come nil a .rood deal , during the last inonili. and should race In 1 Improved rorm when next started. ! A. cox worked his two milters, Kelson i Hell and Read Heather, together yesterday I morning-, and both horses gave a pood ] i display. Cox drove tne younger horse, . which' was on the outside, and his showing proved him lv be in his best rorm. I Nelson Hell has taken some time to | develop. Inn lie has such a Hue turn or i speed that he should soon win a rare. I rnl'nrtuiiati'ly lie lias not raced 100 well | In the past, lied Heather looks none too sound. E McPermolt Is working a haff-slster to Coronet, by Harold lullon. She has not done much work, but looks a promising Princess Zoc has had a short spell, | which has evidently been to her advantage, j She appears to be sound, and is looking well. I The Ron thi and-owned pacer Away (Adonis —Ca.-louti was brought rrom Dun-| edln by X c Mrlierrnntt nl the conclusion ; or the"Forbury Park Club's meeting. Away will In ruiure be trained by Mel.ermott, and will be racing al the Canterbury Park Club's meeting. Vera Logan Is going well at present. Yesterday, however, she had a bad fall at Addlngio'n, and li. Helmet I got a severe shaking. p lliddle has Stroller going fairly well. Thi' brother tv Hon Wild looks very much lighter than Miss Gunn's great pacer, but Stroller ran show n good turn or speed. Another start has been made with the pacer Irvar. which looks very well. It Is , a pity he was not ready to race at the last i meeting al Addlngton and at Forbury Park, . as the old gelding Is seen at his best when : the tracks are ill a bad slate through wet weather. , _. I Realm appears lo be quite sound, and none the worse ror his trip south, where be won the. chief event on the second day | at Forburv Park. Realm has a rare turn , of speed.'and can also slay. Provided ho goes solidly throughout his races, he will have more success. The small pacer Pltaroa looks particularly well. He Is an honest, reliable purer over any distance, but he usually nnd.. something better In the race, and has to put up Willi place money. Argus one of I. Riddle's team, can show a'int or speed, bill he does not look "as though he would favour a Journey.
