GOING TO SYDNEY ON JULY 25.

[ST TEIXG3-APH- —CTTy COEBSSKSNDIIST. ] CEEISTCEUECE. Tuesday.

At Riccarton this moming Limerick, displaying some of the life whicn characterised hi* earlier career, was under restraint in running threo furlcnga with his two-year-old brother. Dunraven, in 33 1-Ss. In all probability Limerick will be taken to tha Aahburton meeting on Saturday and will be given a gallop during an interval in the afternoon. While his presence on the course will prsve an interesting feature cf the programme the tnp should be of benefit to him. Limerick and other members of F. D. Janes' team will probably leave Wellington foT Sydney an July 25. RICCARTON TRACK WORK. ASHSURTON CANDIDATES. IMPROVEMENT BY QUARTERDECK. rsx TTLEGHAPH. OWN COEHESPOSISEICT.] CHEISTCHTJSCE, Tuesday. An exceptionally hard frost delayed training operations for over an hGur at Riccarton to-day the tracks wcra in a slippery state. There was not a great amount of fast work a-ring to a number ai the hnrses in commission having taken part in the South Canterbury meeting. The sd. 7 grass was open, but most trainers used the sand track and confined their representatives to ÜBeiul strong work. Giggleswick showed his customary speed by reeling c 3 four furlongs in 50 3-os. Ha is to compete at the Aahburton meeting and should race prominently. Toawsi was ncx allowed his head in covering five furlongs in L 5. Ea will cantest the Mayfield Handicap at Ashburton cm Saturday providing the track conditions suit, and may do better over a middle distance than in his recent efforts. First Sight sprinted three furlongs in 325. Ha is not due to appear again until the spring, when it is hoped to have him racing in Sydney. Craigavon strode over half-a-iniie in 53a. will bo taken to Wellington in company with Dunrsven. and should the pair shape encouragingly they will be iTl'Tind in F. D. Jones' Sydney team. Quortersßck shewed better fcrm than for some time past by beating Tariff ever sis furlongs in LIT 3-5. She, ran well for the greater portion of the journey in her engagement at Timaru on Saturday, but failed to finish on and would have to improve considerably on that performance to have a chance at Aehburt-otu Garvary severed five furlongs in 1.6 3-5, He "r-s made marked improvement of late and did well is. running second to Desert Song at Timaru on ground that did not suit him. Eeisisr ana Lancer each galloped Bin furlongs in *"1 Both are to contest the hurdle race at Aahburton on Saturday. Huntley and Gold Mint recorded 1.35 forseven furlongs. Gold Mint was qualified this season and will probably have his first race ever hurdles at Aahburton. Discourse went well in traversing «ix furlongs in X.2L She has built up satisfactorily lately and may soon regain her North Island form. The Raider is being kept going with a j riaw to racing at the Ghristchurch Ennt Meeting. Ee has put on condition since ar- i riving at Riccarton and his new owner | should not have to wait long for a return.
