CANTERBURY NOTES, EASTER NOMINATIONS. FOUR HORSES FOR SYDNEY. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH. Saturday. The nominations received for the Great Easter Handicap total 111 and for the Great Autumn Handicap '23, as against 37 nild IS respectively last year. The list for the Great Easter includes Charmeuse and Great Star, who fought out the finish twelve months ago, and also Autopay, Silver Paper, Chrysolosy, Arrow Lad and Jaloux, who were among the unplaced division. The Great Autumn Handicap winner of 1031, Black Duke, is again nominated for this year's race, but of those lie accounted for only Jaloux figures in the list. The North Island ha<! nine candidates for the Great Easter and six for tho Great Autumn.

Mr. G. l'ayne has arranged to send Spoon to Sydney by the Marama, which leaves Wellington next Friday. Ho will accompany the mare, and if successful in finding a suitable trainer will probably leave he'.- in Sydney. Spoon is in excellent older to undertake the trip and with 8.4 in her first important event, the 'Doncaster Handicap, she should bo capable of a creditable performance. Nightmarch, Admiral Drako and Compris will also be shipped by the same steamer. Nightmarch was given a. useful frallop over six furlongs the reverse .way -to-day-: He strodo out in his usual free style. He has been nominated for the Ruwaon Stakes at Rosehill, run on March 12, or four days after tlie trip over. He will probably be given a race in this weight-for-age event.. During McAulay's absence his team, comprising Tarquinius, Truo Shaft, Nightguard and Water Polo, is to be kept moving along, but there is a. chance that Nightguard may be put aside later as his wind trouble is more serious than was realised earlier. Indications point, to this promising looking gelding turning out a barren proposition for his owner, who expended 1500 guineas in his purchase. Charmeuse lias had t u ersy time over the past few months, but is now being allotted some sorious tasks in view of making an attempt to win her second Great Enster Handicap. She showed encouraging form this morning by galloping six furlongs on the inside grass in 1.15. Her mate was Ilystride. who impressed by finishing slightly in front of Charmeuse, but. the latter could have done belter if called upon. Nominations for the Great Easter Handicap are:—Golden Wings. Autopay, Dunraven, Moorbird, Fair Weather, Gesture,, Kolmiir. Gny Crest. The Quom, Aspomble. Truo Shaft. Rnnelagh, Meprisant, Jaloux, Azalea, Black Duke, Esteem,, Rod Heckle. Grecian Prince.
