CANTERBURY NOTES. ißy Telegraph.—Special to "Star. ,, ) CHRISTCHtJRCH, Tuesday. After his dual success at the New Brighton meeting, Countryman is nicely treated in the New Zealand Trotting Gold Cup, and promises to, start a -warm favourite on Saturday. Dolly Dillon is also being- freely discussed for the same race. She has a two mile record or 4.27 3-5, and is handicapped on 4.31. Pedro Pronto win not be a starter in the New Zealand Gold Cup at Wellington. Billy Sea has lert A. Hendriksen's stable and is now under the care of R. C. Alexander, private trainer to Mr. J. A. Mitchell, or Palmerston North. The speedy run erratic pacing mare Pearlle Chimes Is not likely to be kept in training, and will shortly visit one of the local stallions. ._ • The flve-year-old mare Fancy Pronto, by Don Pronto from Fancy Gentle, has been purchased by Mr. G. J. Barton, a patron or w. J. Tomkinson's stable. In view of Realm's misbehaviour at the start of his races, the'son or RtMronwood and Levuka has been placed out or training, and will take up stud duties next season. ' E. C. McDermott has disposed of Lackiewood, and ■in future the Wildwood Junior gelding will be trained in the North Island. ' ~.■■■ Owing to unsoundness Away has been eased in his wor£, and is unlikely to race again for some time. At the holiday flxtures Logan Pointer sired seventeen winners, Great Audubon and Nelson Bingen eleven each, Brent Locanda seven, apd Four Chimes six.' J. D. Smith's team has been strengthened by the inclusion of the! Westfcort-owhed pacer Golden' Locanda.' ■ , The pacing mare Haunui, which raced consistently on the West Coast during the holiday nxtures, Is expected to join one or the local stables in the near future. D. Withers has Logan Lou in strong work again, and she appears to he quite sound. ■"...-: Fille De Ballin, the promising Tour-year-old trotter, by Ballin rrom My Lass, has arrived at headquarters from Greymouth, and will race at the Wellington meeting this week. The trotter Young Carbine, winner of the. 'Progressive Handicap, one mile' and a-hair, in 3.37 2-5, on the concluding day or the Canterbury Park, Trotting Club's summer meeting, appears to be badly treated at Wellington, as in the Nal Nal Handicap or one mile and a-half, 3.45 class, he is handicapped to do 3.29, and in the Lambton Handicap or two miles. 4.54 class, he is on 4.40. Probably there Is an error, and it is due to the incorrect time reaching the handicapper.
