Yesterday was an “ofi” morning at Riccarton, and the work was of; an miimportant character. Most tuo Cup horses did healthy exercise Uhlan and Battleaxe were exercised for the first time since arrival. The former,' says _ a Press Association telegram, seems big m condition. A number of horses passed through by the Talune yesterday eu route to Christchurch. Those on board were—Sir Lancelot. Ideal, Roller, Phooka, Renown St. Mark, Will-o’-the-Wisp and Bush Rose. . , The rumour circulated in town on Wednesday that the Hon J. D. Ormond s Now Zealand Cup candidate, Sir Lancelot had gone amiss was not .justified by fact. The horse is in good form and progressing satisfactorily in his work. ; The racehorses Chasseur, _ Rubin, Douglas and Oingo were shipped to Lyttelton by the To Anau yesterday, to fulfil engagements at the Now Zealand Cup meeting. _ A Press Association telegram says that the privileges in connection with the Auckland Racing Club have been sold for £650. , The sum realised last year was £577.
