LATE SPORTING

ON RICCARTON TRACKS

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHBISTCHUBCH, This Day.

The conditions were perfoct for training work at Biecarton, but the proceed-i ings were very uninteresting. The inside trial grass track was open for fast work, but not many horses went on it. Most of them were given light tasks on the plough. . Bapine sprinted half a mile in 49 2-ssec. ' . High Pitch covered half a mile very easily in 55 2-ssec. Mireusonta went three furlongs on the plough in 41 3-ssec. Volant beat Solgele in a three-fur-long sprint. . . Ark Boyal and Money Peer went half a mile in 49 4-ssec, Scrip taking 50 4-ssec alone. Novar left a mile behind in Imin 43 2-ssec, .after doing the first halfmile in 49 3-ssec. Carawock jumped two hurdles fairly well and then was given a working gallop on the plough. Captain Sarto and Santiago were a long way in front of Bevel at the end of a working gallop of seven furlongs on the plough. Inferno, from a walking start, did half a milo in 50 2-ssec. Arpent beat Monoxide over six furlongs, doing the last half-mile in 51 l-ssec. John Bradbury ( and Heather Lad did a circuit on the plough at half-pace, with a rattle home. Heather Lad then went another round slightly faster. Margarot Birney sprinted half a mile up the back in 49 4-ssec. Nukumai was worked once round on the plough and afterwards he'jumped four hurdles well. Vaward did a working gallop of a mile. Beacon Light was on the course, but was not worked. He walked very tenderly as the result of trouble with one of his fetlocks. His trainer will try to get him out for the Cup, but says he is not sanguine. First Acre, who arrived yesterday, broke out of the box last night and is missing. ' Volant, Solgelo, Coch-y-Bondhu, and Bonomel arrived from the South last night. Boyal Game and Axle arrived from I Wellington to-day.
