SPORTING.
The training tracks were still too wet to permit of any fast work being accomplished on them yesterday morning. All the horses engaged at the Grand National Meeting were performing walking, trotting and cantering exercise in the middle of tho course.
The racehorses Mutiny and Waterbury, were landed out of the steamer Manapouri from Wellington this morning. Mr G. G. Stead’s racehorses Stepniafc, Melinite and Ich Dien,in charge of Mason, and Mr B. O’Brien’s Launceston and Loyalty, were shipped by the steamer Hauroto to Sydney yesterday evening. All the horses are engaged at the Spring Meeting of the Australian Jockey Club next month. The animals were got safely on board during the afternoon, and housed in specially prepared stalls in the ’tween decks forward, where they should make the journey to the New South Wales port in comfort. Mr O’Brien will not at present go to Australia. Acceptances for the Spring Meeting of the Canterbury Trotting Club must bo made to-day.
