RICCARTON TRACK NOTES. t (By Telegraph.—Special Corrcsnondenti Christohurch, July 30.

. It was anticipated that training operations at Kiccarton this morning would provide a lot of interesting work, but such was not' the case. A "large number of'..horses were out; but at least twothirds of. these were not extended, and as the number on the easy list included nearly..all the best horses engaged at the meeting there, was little to please the fair number of spectators. - Chortle, with' a good weight up, rattled over six furlongs in Imin. 19sec—a very fine performance. His stablp mate, Multiply, under exactly .the same conditions, ocoupied lmin.' 22sec. over a similar distance. : i .

Madda took lmin; 25Jsec. to cover; six furlongs, and Glenroy reeled o5 six fur- 1 ton»s 111 lmin. 19 fisec. ' . . Star Gazer"and Eaglestone'finished/se.v-' leral' lengths'; ahead 1 of Hornbeam after 'running five furlongs) in lmin.." 9 4-ssec, Counterpoint sprinted six furlongs, and Admiral Soult ; and. Grand Idea ;were. not'. I set against jthe' watcK.' '■ Stevedore and Troon ran the last seven' furlongs '• o£ a . mile in lmin. 3isec.—a - rattling good gallop, although neither of. the Winter Cup candidates had much in hand at tho finish. Try Fluke was going' better than Ngatiruanui at the end of half a mile, run I in 56sec'., and Nithsdale and Forest Belle finished together after running five furlongs in lmin. 7 l-ssec. . . ; Grey King-rattled', over two hurdles at a good . pace,' and jumped. safely, while Sir .LetKe was feent a strong gallop over a mile. ' * Hereford pleased better than Sam Pan in'a round over the hurdles.

> A good deal of interest was centred in o the gallop, between. Kilmeny' (J. O'Con--0 nell), Corrie. (R. M'Severney), and ChedB > dar (J. Deerey) over a round' of the hurdles. Kilmeny was very slow to - begin, but at the turn at the crossing the other pair ran''very wide and .gave the' Kilc'heran gelding a chance ■to get on' s terms. Then Kilmeny and Corrie, cracked 1 on the pace, which 1 appeared to be too 8 warm for. Cheddar.. Corrie and Kilmeny s jumped in great 'style, and crossed the, . last hurdle together. Quite the surprise ij ing feature of tlie gallop was the form : shown ]jy Corrie. :In her gallop she t never made a mistake, and was on terms f with Kilmeny at the finish, Cheddar be- • ing several lengths away. r Tannhauser and Tlirax put up a good • gallop over five furlongs, and Chorus fin- " islied-in'front of Gregory at tho end offive furlongs; run in lmin. Bssec. l . Leading Lady occupied lmin. BJsecw i;i covering a similar distance, and Sea 'J King reeled off 'half a mile in 58sec. j Silver Shield and the Delaware—Polly f Prim colt got'to the end .of half a mile 5 in 52sec„ and Chatmoss appeared to be 3 going better than Golden Glade and Andraea 'at the end of six furlongs, which took lmin. 21sec. 1' Mummer. ran five furlongs un lmin. 5' 6sec. 3 Encore sprinted half a mile in 56sec., • and Briar Patch ran the same. distance i in '54sec., while Moddite and Umeraboy occupied lmin. 21sec; 6rer six furlongs. Royal Medal was much too good for t Ribstone Pippin in a round over the big e country, and Morning and Golden Water l were raced over two flights of hurdles. - ' Twelfth Night .and Bee covered.half a f mile in the good time of 51sec., and-Re-t jection pleased better than Martial in a 1 round over the schooling hurdles.' Player, Idealism, Amber and White, . Avon, Tho Spaniard, Captain Jack, Has- -. kayne, Kimbombi, Gnome, and Bransfield 3 were'given light work, Haumakaka and Peary were not extended, Merrie Valet ■ and Listen did half-pace work, and BanB ian and Merrie Lass three-quarter pace. The "Looker-on" in the "Evening " News" writes:—Sportsman will be rid- • den by R. Gray in the Grand National 1 '- Steeples. He has an outside chance,, for he stays and jumps weJl. 1 Mr. Harry Piper has not yet complete-. 1 ly recovered from his recent illness,'and ho ivill not officiate at the barrier for . this, meeting. The Auckland starter, Mr. C. O'Connor, was generous enough , to volunteer his-services tfhen he heard - Mr. Piper was not too.fit. and the Can- - tt>rbuT7 J.C. have accepted • the ; offer,'but ) only i for tho meeting. Mr. Piper will • continue as starter for tho -club when he ■ has recovered his health. . • Haskay.ie looks bright .and well., but • was showing signs of lameness behind. , • . Kimbombi. who was, given a very light ' task, is showing signs of soreness, in front. , ' i Sam Pan hit every hurdle very hard' ' behind. Ono hind leg is badly.swollen. . ' .T. O'Connell is to ride Exotic in the : Grand National Steeples. Deeley will ride his choice of : tho stable mates, Chortle and Multiply .in tho Winter Cup.
