ADDINGTON JOTTINGS.

TRACK WORK FOR BRIGHTON MEETING. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The training track at New Brighton is in capital order at present, and the near approach of the meeting has caused more interest to be shown in the training work. Repute, who is looking very well, trotted a mile and' three-quarters this morning, going at a solid speed throughout. She went very steadily, making no mistakes. Avenger and Mac Dillon went a mile and a quarter. Mac Dillon led, and at ,the end of a quarter of..a mile Blue Glen (in saddle) joined the pair. The trio finished together, but it looked as though Avenger could have done a lot better. Avonwood led the trotter Tamerlane by about a couple of lengths in a workout over a mile, both horses going capitally, although-neither was at top spedd. Alpine Melody did a little more than a mile at a useful speed, pacing solidly all the way. August Pointer was not hurried over the first half of a mile and a quarter workout, but he finished up fast. Torchlight, who 'looks as though he is on the improve, went- a mile and a quarter by being sent along at a good clip over the last furlong. Harold Thorpe, who is building up well, was jogged with Firpo, the former being on the lead, and the latter in the eulky.
