Barton, who for many years has raced horses extensively in .Melbourne, lias decided to retire from Australian racing states Cardigan of the Melbourne Herald. Mr. Barton also raced horses in partnership with Mr. W. H. Balloch, and the combination met with a good deal of success. The horses Cloudy Bay, Owaka, All Veil, Pickway, Watapai and Morveil are to be offered for sale. The reasons for Mr. Barton's retirement from the sport in .Australia are the difficulty of travel from the Dominion in wartime, and also the limitation of racing and the opportunities for the horses he owns to race. Mr. Barton will continue to race a few horses in New Zealand, where he purchased some yearlings at the last national yearling sales. ELLERSLIE TRAINING There was not much fast work at Ellerslie yesterday, but a few horses with engagements at Paeroa to-morrow were sprinted. The No. I grass provided hard going.
