NOTES FROM RICCARTON FINAL DAY OF THE NATIONAL MEETING. By Telegraph—Special Correspondent.' Clirisichurch, August 15. There is every indication of a good day's 'racing tit liiccarton to-morrow. Tho \TOtther is Ijeautil'ully fine, and tlio going will bo pel-feet. All the Lest horses are engaged, and the jumping events should bo interesting. The day's curd will commence with the Hunters'' Plate, for which Sonny may bo favourite, but as amateur riders will be ensued investors will not specu-lato with confidence. Uraftella- is such a perfect jumper that he may bo the choice in flic Hack SteepleChase'. He is improving with every race. Form'-Up and Rebekah are unlikely starters in the Heatheoto Handicap, seven furlongs', and in their absence tho chances of Gold Kip anil Lionskin may bo the ljci;t. The last-named won very easily on Thursday, and the race should do her' good. Now lhafc Reformation hias struck form he should again give a. good account of iiimsplf in tho Styx Hurdles. He seems to bs a lot better horse when racing in front of Ms field. Tip-Up wiM 'to better suited by the shorter courso for tlie Sydenham Hurdles. Itavi Poto and Sir Solo may bo tho .public fancies. The first-named was going very well when ho fell in tho National Hurdles, and at tho difference in the weights lie may account for Sir Solo. Tho Lincoln Steeplechase looks like a duel between tho threo top-weights, - but as Master Lupin is not veiy sound, investors will perhaps pin tlheir faith to (lie 'National 1 winner and tho Beaufort SUnrfechase winner. Both Locliella and <fang Awa' are quick jumpers, and tho contest between them should be tho star item of tho day. Thero is a good-sized field in the Redcliffs Handicap, seven furlongs, and after the good finishing run of Strajehot on Thursday, it will not b9 surprising if ho and Imuribbon divide . tho machine honours. . " Although he has a big weight, Fonn-TJp will not want for backers in tho Selwyn Handicap, for ho won very decisively on tho middle day. ■ The Wellington-owned horse looks very well, and tho racing has not harmed him. Moorabbe may bo the best of tho others. C.J.C. ACCEPTANCES. By Telegraph—Press Association. Clirisichurch, August 15.
