Gainsley is absent from Riccartou on a short holiday In the country. Count Gordon is lame; that is why ho did not fulfil bls engagements at AshburBluuderbu'S ami Miss Hamilton have been thrown out of training; the latter has been sent to the stud at Mr Friedlander’s farm at Ashburton. Merrymaker has also been turned out for a spell. Man jess, who won a double nt Ashburton, comes within the p<»uy standard; he would be an exceptionally smart pony.
