HORSES SCHOOL. An interesting schooling task was performed at Matamata yesterday by Master Musk (H. Turner), and Sinking Fund (V. Fergus). Commencing at the nine-furlong post they jumped the two hurdles in the straight together and continued on at a good racing pace, coming to the same obstacles again. Sinking Fund was inclined to hang out and finished about three lengths behind, his companion, otherwise both horses gave a good display.
