RICCARTON NOTES

(By Telegraph) (Special to the "Evening Post.") CHBISTCHUBCH, This Day. ■ Following Saturday's Hunt -Club Meeting, the track work at Biecarton this morning was not exciting. A large number of horses put in an appearance, but the tasks were mainly easy pacing on the sand. Jerry Boy, a novice, who is not ongaged for next 'week, jumped four hurdles very well. Don Jose gave a good exhibition over six hurdles, Quinopal, Punchestown, and Bational II went once round the steeplechase fences in. the middle. '-The''first-named pair Jed" over two,;but' they: all were together at the third fence. Quinppal then dropped back, being a few lengths behind over the double, where Bational II landed just in front of Punchestown. These tliree are flue to school over. Grand National country later in the week, Valpeen and ..Valves being others . for whom similar, arrangements' are being made. • .',. ...... ._. ■,~ v '.. v ; ..'- Billy .Boy workeds-teadlly'tiiig,iworn-ing, moving.quite,freely. ,'.['..'.._. 7~'~\ ':<Tli& idea of schooling.-Thurhia '.over the National fences has been dropped.
