CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday. Most of the visiting horses have now departed, and Riccarton has resumed its normal appearance. Our next excitement <is the Christchurch Raving Club’s Summer Meeting next month, though, of course, a goodly contingent of both horses and spectators are bound to journey to Tima in for the South Canterbury Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting. Noctulform Is booked to leave Wellington by the Ruapehu, sailing on November 23. The name of his new owner and the purchase price are still withheld, but the former is not Royalty; indeed. I believe he may prove to be a plain “Mister.” Mahutonga’s poor display in the Jubilee Cup is partly accounted for by the fact that he was confined to his box throughout Thursday and Friday owing to his having been kicked by Melodeon. Chivalry, the latest addition to the ranks of the Riccarton-trained horses, has joined McGinness’ team. Mr Stead has sold the Stepniak—Ambush filly Beresiua to a North Island racing man for 150gns. , Bloomer, the dam of Petticoat, has visited St. Ambrose, whose list is now full. Veneer, who has spent the last four months at Riccarton, left on Monday for the West Coast. Belllcent has foaled a filly full-sister to Isolt. Though the mare now belongs to Mr Palmer, her foal. I understand, is the property of Mr Stead. (By Telegraph.—Special to “Graphic”). CHRISTCHURCH. Monday. Riccarton is still very quiet, and is likely to remain so for some weeks to come. Happily the weather has changed for the better. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Sunday, and Monday were all gorgeous days, and if I had not been taught by bitter experience the uselessness of attempting to forecast the weather, I should almost be tempted to say that it had settled. The weights for the Auckland Cup were well received here. Riccarton opinion inclines towards Gladstone and Scotty, and surprise is expressed at the weight allotted to Gay Spark. I certainly think Sir Geo. Clifford’s colt might have been let off a pound or two lighter, although I will not go so far as to declare that he cannot win. Personally I prefer the chances of Mahutonga, Quarryman, Paritutti, Scotty, Gladstone, and Buluwayo. Mahutonga left for Auckland on Saturday. He had not completely shaken off the effects of the kick he received while at the post for the Metropolitan Handicap, but he was fast recovering, and the injury is not likely to interfere with his preparation for the Auckland Cup. Cutts is working Quarryman. Gay Spark, Clanchattan, To-moiTow, and Kirriemuir right-handed, so it may be taken for granted that the five will all journey to Auckland. The other member of Sir Geo. Clifford’s team of six will probably be Golden Vein’s unperformed two-year-old full brother, Golden Coin. Noctulform wiH leave for England on Thursday. He will go in charge of 11. Franks, formerly private trainer in Auckland to Mr 11. Mosman. Comfort, who met with an accident while ■being schooled just prior to the Canterbury Jockev Club’s Spring Meeting, had recovered sufficiently to be shipped home last Wednesday. Sir Goo. Clifford will be represented at Feilding by Gohlen Vein and Stronghold. The pair will leave for the North to morrow in charge of 11. Cutts. Mr Grigg has decided not to persevere — for the present, at any rate —with Golden Knight. The disappointing son of Wallace has been sent to his owner's estate, where he will serve a few mares. T. Sheennn has sold his two-year-old full brother to Hilarity, by Castashvre—mea-sure-seeker, to a North Canterbury racing man. Petrovna has sufficiently recovered from the cold she contracted before the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting to resume work. She is looking light and faded. Ker trainer (G. Pine) has received an addition to his team in Knastikoff, the two-year-old son of Stepniak and Ambush. Speculate has gone into D. Moraghan’g ba ndi.

The Clanranald mare Bythemald lei > beep sent to her owiur’s place for a spell. W. Clarke has taken in hand the Medallion Choirgirl gelding Handel, who nas liad a lengthened spell. McCracken is at work on the two-yrar-old brother to King Stora l».\ Stepuhiu Fairymaid, and Gay Spark’s t wo-y. ar-old brother Blazing Star has resumed his place among Cutis’ active division. Ghulsonn* Lodge ha<l a narrow escape of being destroyed last week. A light id candle set the stables on tire, but luckily ilie blaze was noticed by a passer-by and extinguished before it had spread far. The South Canterbury Jockey Club has received capital acceptances for the first day’s racing of its Spring Meeting to-mor-row. The following horses may run forward in their respective engagements:— Summer Handicap, Boscastle and Stepaside; Timaru Handicap. Convoy; President's Welter Handicap. King’s Guest and Soniaroff; Waitahi District Handicap, Grandstand; Flying Handicap, Makaroft’ and Ostachkoff. St. Onida, by St. Clair Onida, has foaled a colt to Multiform, whom she will re-visit. It is reported that Buluwayo is to join a Riccarton stable shortly. Before the opening of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting, overtures were made from an Australian racing man for the purchase of Mahutonga. A definite offer at the close of the meeting was met with the reply that the horse was not for sale. .There is a yearling brother to Kirriemuir at Sionyhurst. Hugenct, by Apremont -Martyr, has foaled a colt to Royal Artillery: Grasshopper, by Summer—-Toitoi, a colt to Benzoni: Tinwald Beauty, by Perkin Warbeck ll.— Beauty Sleep, a filly to Benzoni.

Tv Tv Tv Sale of Bloodstock. Mr 11. O. Nolan, acting on behalf of the N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Co., held a sale of bloodstock at the Royal Aak Hotel last week. There was a very poor attendance, and bidding was anything but spirited, and several lots were passed in. failing to teach the reserve placed upon them. The following sales were effected: Hohoro, by Tasman—Lady Moth, 200 gs. Mr C. Weal; Takaroa, by Castor—St. Mary, 4Ogs,. Mr C. Weal; Primo. by Phoebus Apollo—Lena, 35gs. Mr C.
