COROGLEN’S FINE SHOWING

[Special to the ‘Stau.’l

CHRISTCHURCH, August 4. At Riccarton yesterday Corogle.u gave one of the most brilliant displays of jumping big fences ever seen at Riccarton. Bowling along at racing pare, ho completed a circuit in Imin 58sec, which is much the fastest time put up for some time. After dome once round Coroglen was pulled on to the tan track and galloped a circuit on that, to pull up with hardly a blow. This performance was so good that Coroglen will be at a much shorter price for the National Steeplechase, and there is little" doubt that he is just as capable of tackling Riccarton country successfully as any other National candidate.
