HORSES FOR THE NORTH

(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post") CHRISTCHURCH,.May 9. Work at Riccarton this morning was not of much interest. Horses were out doing final gallops for the Amberley Meeting, but the tracks were heavy after rain, end sprinting was the general order, while not many went at top, even over the Bhort courses. While work on the flat was dull several jumpers were schooled, and they relieved the monotony. • Royal Limond was sent twice round the steeplechase schooling course, jumping ten fences in all. He went at a sound pace, and gave a capital display, which provided further evidence that he has benefited by recent racing. He will leave on Monday for Wanganui, where he will start his North Island campaign; Lady Lucas set out some distance behind Royal Limond for a,similar task. She ran off at the fence at the top o£ the straight, but. cleared it at the second attempt. Her jumping for the remainder of the journeys was safe, though she was going at an easy pace. Fleeting Glance went with great dash over two' brush hurdles, while Coll followed with a similar smart display. Radiant Rose jumped two big hurdles in eood style. : Royal Amphora and Jolly Beggar were companions over five hurdles. They kept together most of the way, both jumping well wjile going at a sound pace. ; J. ■ Christmas has two members of his team doubly engaged at Amberley. .Manetho will.be a starter in the Glasnevin Handicap. There is a slight doubt about iair Weather going to the meeting, but if he makes^the trip he will run in the Amberley Handicap. Sam Smith is engaged in two races at Amberley, and L. J. Ellis will ride him if he runs in the Glasnevin Handicap while M. Kirwan will be.the pilot if the Amberley Handicap is big mission. The two-year-old Cape Gabo win not race at Amberley, but S. Barr hopes to produce him. at the South Canterbury Meeting. ' ■ .F. Holmes has an Australian trip in view for Minerval, who may do some raS ng_ln Sydney during the winter H. Kama contemplates racing Free Air Horowhenua, and Tooley, Street at the nr vFw h a d Au. c,Wand Meetings, and it is probable they will go north next week;
