The schooling barrier at Ricearton will be available on Monday morning. The Ricearton tracks will be open for cork to-morrow morning from five (/clock till nine but it is unlikely that there will be much beyond easy exerThe nine furlong barrier at Ricearton lias been shifted out from the rails. In its new position it will give a straight iun of a furlong and three quarters before the rails are reached, near the seven furlong post. Though Many Kittle figures among the acceptors for the New Zealand Chip. Mr W. A. Nicholls lias definitely decided not to take on the two-mile race with his three-year-old. lie will »»e a starter in the Stewards’ Handicap next- Saturday and on the second day of the meeting will probably be included in the Derby field. Epitaph's effort at Ricearton this morning showed that she retains the .'•peed that enabled her to win so many races last season. She will he one of the favourites for the Steward’s Handicap. Penitent will not fulfil his engagement in the New Zealand Gup, as lie will not be sent to Ricearton for the approaching meeting. More than one Ninth Island owner has been in treaty for the disappointing Martian gelding, and if he is not sold •). "XV. Lowe, who now has charge of him will probably school him for jumping races. The four-year-old Economist, by Ab-surd-Week End. had a very easy time following on the Grand National meeting. He built up a lot on this treatment and ho now bears a very much jjmproved appearance. D. Jones has recently started to send him elong again in useful tasks and hr moves in a manner which suggests that he may seen be a winner The champion trotting mare Ret* Peter had to be stopped in her work for a few days, on account of a slight incident, but she is now moving along again in good style. Following on the first day\s racing at Trentham, where both horse 3 racer f.iominently, without winning, Roya Box and The Hawk were supported t< win a big stake in the New Zealand Cup and Stewards’ Handicap double. Mr T H. Lowry is expected to arrive back in the Dominion early it XtaMHk&er.

When M. J. Grigg’s three-year-old filly Ardour was sent to Riccarton to complete her preparation for the Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting, she ' was accompanied by a trio of green : ycung ones. One of them is a big ' brown two-year-old colt by Gay Lad from the imported mare Assertive. The * others are chestnuts, a t;wo-year-iol<l brother to Calibration, by Calibre from Lady Talbot and a three-year-old by. Bcniform from the Stepmate mare. "Windy Steppe, the dam of Luff. Some English-bred horses, purchased by Mr V. Riddiford, are due to arrive in Wellington in a tew days. The speedy Gloaming continues to cause his trainer a deal of anxiety, on account of lameness, and his chance 1 of being at his best for the Trotting Cup is very remote Onyx has gone on exceptionally well in her work lately, and this New Brighton trained mare has many admirers for the Trotting Cup. The Australian-bred pacer Realm has done well lately and lie is in strong i favour for the Trotting Cup at preI sent. Pessimist, who has been under the ! care of J. N. Clarke, at New Brighton, i for some time past, has joined his i brother, Albert Cling, in J. Hender- | soil's Onmam stable. The pacer First Carbine is suffering from an attack of influenza, which prevented him from racing at the 1 Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting ■ The Sydney trotting trainer, P. Riddle, is flue to arrive in Auckland at * the end of this month with five horses and he will remain until the conclusion of the Auckland Trotting Club’s I Christmas meeting. i The Manawatu trotting enthusiast. Mr G. Craw, will leave Nelson Derby. Her Ladyship. Fiat and Lovelocx in .Auckland until after the Christmas meeting of the Auckland Trotting j Club.

Jefferd opened proceedings by sending Rapine and King’s Trumpeter a working gallop over a mile. ! Gloaming and Cupidon occupied Imin 34seo over seven furlongs, finishing up well over the last bit, but it was just useful work. Gasbag broke away at the seven furlong post and after going a furlong was joined by Grotesque, the pair going on together well past the winning post, but with no suggestion of doing their best. Heath cote and Parody ran half a | mile in ol 4-ssec, the former finishing ! the better of the pair Economist, with The Reaver as a mate for the last five, covered seven furlongs in lmin Slsec.

Wild Hind, with Wharf dale as a j mate for the last three furlongs, rau i half a mile in 50 l-ssec.

They started off fast, running the first two furlongs in 25see. The half mile post was reached in 52sec, six furlong in lmin 19sec, nine furlongs in 2min 0 3-osec, and they finished up the full journey in 2min 42 4-ssee. Foo Chow, on the inside, had a slight advantage at the end, but Royal Star was going on well at the finish and it was a good work out for both the Cup cand/datcs. Dame Straitlace occupied lmin 20sec over six furlongs, but was going along comfortably over the last' bit. Ardour was restricted to easy exercise in the middle, on the lead. Songbird, carrying a good weight, beat Battle Scene over five furlongs in lmin 3sec. Trevella and Headlong spurted half a mile in 51 2-ssee, Wartime taking 52seo i by herself.
