RICCARTON TRACK NOTES (By Telesrapli—Special CorresDondenU Chrlstohurch, April 8. 'An off-morning at Riccarton seldom provides anything of interest' in tho way of fast work, and this morning's operations proved no exception to the ' rule. Thore was almost an entire abs'onco of fast .worki although Expeot and Pariform rattled over a couple of furlongs in 2Ssec, going very nicely, and Fastradi, Rencontre, Cumulus, and His-' torietto ran the last five of six furlongs in lmin. 7scc. • • Bronze- (Bell) and Sea Pink (lightweight) givc;i a mile and a quarter gallop, 'and 'ran the journey in 2min. , 20 2-ssec, the first six furlongs occupying lmin.' 22sec. - ' Tlie time was nothing out of the ordinary,, but neither ' of the Autumn "Handicap, i candidates was bent on record-breaking. • Masterpiece arid Autumnus wore each sent ronnd'at 'three-quarter pace, while Flora Maecjonald was not extended, and Chorubini -and "Emperador,. working separately, were, indulged in useful . pacing. .'•'• '- ■•■...
