The only track available this morning was tho tan, which was . somewhat heavy.; aa th*

result of the recent rain, and trainers 'were not disposed to give their charges any sever® tasks. Consequently operations were practically confined to useful pacing. The trainers complained of the grass trade not being at their disposal, and it does appear strange that it was not open for fast work, as it is within a fortnight of Cup Day. It is scarcely creditable to the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club not to provide satisfactory galloping ground when it has such a good grass traokj and it is to be hoped the committee will in future cater more liberal.y for horses engaged at its meetings. Cutts’s team were amongst tho first to work. Quarryrnan and Gay Spark registered a working gallop over about a mile and. a quarter, finishing at the back oi tho course.. To-morrow was not asked to exert herself while negotiating five furlongs, and Lady AVayward, Stronghold, Clan'ohattan and Chryseis, separately, __did three-quarter pacing over once round. Calibre negotiated two circuits at half and threequarter speed respectively, and Golden Ehiight’s tack was twice round at half-sposd. Black Diamond ran . five furlongs in Irain JOisco, while Speculate brushed over half a mile. Ingleneuk finished up at throe-quarter speed over the last two furlongs of a steady round, and The Mohican (Byrne) fenced proficiently in a schooling task over four flights of hurdles. Tirole and Euclid accomplished a working gallop over five furlongs, and A 7 olodia galloped half a mile. The following horses were responsible for useful to light tasks: —Loesldo, Noxious AVeed, Stepdancer, Huku, Narcissus, Deduction, Bagpipes, Glenowlet, Tsitsihar, Catherine Gordon, AYi Waka, Magnificent, AVest AVind, the Sant Ilario—Savannah filly arid Alexis. ‘ After breakfast nothing but tho lightest of tasks was accomplished by the horses that wero cut exercising. Included in the number was Machine Gun. Sunday. The caly gallop of a noteworthy character accomplished this morning was recorded by Machine Gun. (E. Sooullar). who traversed_ six furlong's on the tan., the last five of which were run ini Imin 9seo, and ho could have improved upon the time considerably. Saif to steady pacing l was all that was accomplished by the horses that were out exercising. . . Yesterday's arrivals, which included: Psnlutu, Romany Girl and Douche, were out, andi put in. steady pacing.
