NOTES FROM CHRISTCHURCH

(By Telegraph.) . (Special to the "Evening Post.') • CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Riptide, who-wori his race m good style at Ashburtoh, is to have a new trainer, having joined Gold Cross, un-; der the care of D. Cotton. 'The change was made at the instigation of Riptides former trainer J. S. Shaw. He has had Cotton with him for some time as head man and was anxious to help nis assistant to get a start as a trainer. Cotton will remain in his present quarters with Shaw until after the Wellington Meeting next month, after which he will set Up in his own stables. First View, who has been in S. Barr's team for about a year, has been shifted to J. S. Shaw's stable. He won *he maiden ; event at the Waimate Hunt Meeting- last, July in -his first start. Afterwards he came to Wellington, but his form has never been more than moderate. It is probable that he will again be given a race at Waimate next month. ■ ! . ' ■ ; Higlr Speed has resumed light work after having an easy time for nearly a week. He bruised some muscles in a rear hind leg, preventing the lymphatic gland from functioning. The leg swelled down to the'hock, but, under treatment all evidence of trouble has almost disappeared. He moved freely on the sand .this morning, and H. Turner hopes to have him ready for his engagements in the hack steeplechases at Trentham. \
