(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post")

, CHRISTCHUECH, This Day. This was a quiet morning on the Biecarton. tracts." A large number of horses -were out, but most of them were confined to easy work, though a few were allowed'to stride along at a useful pace; The outside of the trial grass was open, but most work was done on the plough and the sand tracks.

B. Burgess, who arrived on the previous day, worked Spearmiss, Atholspear, and Austerity separately. on the outside of tire trial grass, but they were' not required to go fast. J. T. Jamiesou gave In the Shade and other members of his team useful work on the trial grass.

W. Stone sprinted Silver Paper and Aspiring separately on the grass. -Silver' Paper registered lmin 2 3-ssec after a slow start, doing the last halfrinile in 48 3-ssee, and finishing well. He carried a light-weight,, but it was an attractive effort, Aspiring followed over the same ground in lmin 2 3-ssec. She also went more slowly than her mate in the early stages, but ran home from the half-mile post in 48see, a brilliant effort. . -

Gala Day and Aberfeldy were associated in a school out over four hurdles. They went at a sound pace, and gave a good exhibition of jumping. Orifiamb jumped four hurdles by himself in his usual attractive style. Pangolin gave a good display in a school by himself over four hurdles.

Amorist wen,t over two hurdles and .jumped them well. •

... Tooniyvara and. After Ten jumped four hurdles. After Ten gave* a better display, and he was going away from his mate at the finish.

Heisler ■ jumped four hurdles well, with a fair pace all the way. . ' Seatown and Yoina, two New Zealand Cup. candidates, who arrived on- the previons day, were out doing strong pace work. Both horses look well.

Concentrate and Cimabue made their first appearance, and, after their spring racing in Australia, they are in great health, and they moved freely in useful work. ' -,-■■•

Historic, the top-weight in -the- Cup, was out doing strong work. He has fined down some since he was here in August, and he looks a very fit horse. Tembroney, Solniai, Kapima, and Franeolin, the overnight arrivals from South, were out after breakfast doing easy pacing. .

Several -trainers took advantage of the opportunity to school their young horses at tne barrier, and some of them were allowed to stride down the straight at a sound pace.
