« RICCAETON NOTES. [by telegraph.] Christohurch, Satnrday. At Ricoarton this morning, Djin Djin and Miss Delaval did a mile and a quarter on the plough, the last mile in lmin 50 j Bee, all out. Miss Delaval finished a length in front of Dundas, with rather more than his Cup weight, and Malatua, with probably 181 b less. They galloped a mile and a half in 2min 38 l-6th, the first mile in Imin 45eeo and the last lmin 48sec, the round taking 2min 26 l-sth sec This was on the inside of Uie grass, and so far the fastest mile and a half this season. The track being much faster, both were ridden out, and finished together; Malatua probably going the strongest. With the weights reversed the verdiot would not have been the same. Ideal and Renown stepped over six furlongs fast. Fulmen and Materoa did a mile and a quarter in 2min 14seo, the last mile in lmin 46360, Materoa slightly leading her companion, and striding out more freely than yesterday. Derrett was on Fulmen, Both were ridden out. Huku covered half a furlong short of two miles in 3min 32sec, his first round taking 2min 28sec, and the last 2min 32set. Whirlwind assisted in the firßt part, and Sara and Hawthorne over the last mile and half mile respectively. A useful gallop, the last mile and a half taking 2min 44sec. Strathnairn shortly afterward ran over the same distance at a good working pace, covering the first half mile in 66seo, and running the last round in 2min 33sec. Seabrook went to bring him home, but was of no use, and he ran down the last half comfortably in 63seo.
