TRAINING GALLOPS AT RICCARTON.

Chbibtchubch, This Dat. St. Clair and British Lion oommenoed work this morning with a good three-qnarter pace gallop orer two miles. Both moved well, but St. Clair subsequently walked a little lame. Lorraine did a mile and a quarter steadily. This horse appears perfectly sound, and has been eased in his work for the past two or three days. Strenuous oovered two miles at half pace, and Vandal was sweated over the same distance. Exchange and Son-of-a-Gtm were sent a mile and a half at top, there being little to chose between the pair at the end. Manton took easy exercise over two miles and a half. Chain Shot and Engagement galloped the Cup distance at a strong pace, and Silvermark was sweated over four miles. Ruby traversed two and a-half miles at an j easy pace, and Richmond led Phormium Tenax in a steady canter over the same ■ distance. Lochiel is reported to be doing ; good work at Yaldhurst. j By a slip of the pen the race won by Chicago at the last V.B.C. Autumn Meeting was referred to by "Vigilant" in Mb notes on Saturday as the Brunswick Stakes. The < race was the Bourke Handicap, 1 Messrs.
