CANTERBURY NOTES. Christchurch, October 31
There was a very moderate morning’s work at Riocarton to-day. St. Glair cantered three .mlies, and afterward walked lame, the result of his split heel. British Lion and Lorraine covered a mile and a quarter at three-parts speed, both going well; and Silyermark ran right away from Vandal in 'a capital gallop over a mile and a half. iChainshot went a mile and a quarter at a good striding pace, and Son-of-a-Gnn travelled two or three furlongs farther at the same rate. Cuirassier and Leopold covered two miles and a-half steadily, and Ruby galloped the Cup dis. tance at nearly top speed. Phormium Tenax was an absentee, having knocked himself about in jumping the rails yester, day morning; and Escutcheon and Engagement were restricted to walking exercise. Manton galloped a mile and a quarter at nearly top, and Dunkeld and Helmsman were much bettor than Blizzard in a spin over four furlongs. There is little or no betting on the Cup ; but Chainshot, Loobiel, Manton, Exchange, and Silvermark are most in demand in the order named, 7 to 2 being the best price about either of the first two.
