CANTERBURY TflOTTifiG NOTES [Special to the ‘ Star.’] CHRISTCHURCH, January 21. St, Maura, who is engaged in the Dunedin Trotting Cap on Friday, was given a good work out over a mile and a-cpiarter yesterday, assisted over the first mile by Queen’s Own. St. Maura did her work in a. pleasing manner, but it is doubtful whether she is forward enough for such a. race as the Dunedin Cup promises to be. Tho West Coast-owned horses \ osuvins and Cannonball were companions in a useful work out over a mile and a-hnlf at Addington yesterday afternoon. Vesuvius, who bus something of a reputation for extreme speed gained on the West Coast, is engaged at the Forhnry Bark Meeting, and as a result of Ids experience of racing at Crcynionth he is expected to make an improved showing. He is by Matchligbt from_ Hetty King, both good performers in their day. HOUSES FROM ENGLAND (.Special to the 1 Star.’] AUCKLAND, January 24. Two horses imported by Dr A\. C.
