' RICCAETON TRAINING NOTES. The tracks were ice-bound yesterday m rnmg, and though a grim g lk>> mi 00 n for fast work there was no d'emanl for it. Trainers were satisfied to give their charges strong working giUlops on the sand. The horses engaged at tho Wellington Meeting, and those that are to race at the South Canterbury Hunt gathering, were all out doing strong work on th; sand.

Cashman gave a good shown? for a green horse when schooled over the hurdles. Vascular and Indus were companions in a schooling {rallop once round over the country. Indus, who runs in at every fence, squeezed Vascular off at the second fence of the double, but otherwise it was e> capital exhibition of jumping.

Master Hamilton and Romance were companions in a schooling gallop twice round over tho country Eomanoe dwelt at coh fence throughout the first circuit, probab'y owing to soreness, but fencsd cleverlv all the way. Master Hamilton gave a, faultless exhibition.

Rollick, who set out to school over the hurdles, refused, to have anything to do with the business, and' baulked repeated'y. Likelihood schooled' over tw circuits of the country. He took many liberti'S. but eventunlly got round safelv. th-mrh he was very tired at th' finish th/> Probable gelding itfave his best to date. After dinmer a hunter by Deerstalker waa jumped, and shaped like an old hand.
