CHRISTCHURCH HORSES FOR TRENTHAM.

(By Telegraph.—Special Correspondent.) Christchurch, October 15. Tho "Looker On" in tie "Evening News" writes:— G. iUurray-Aynsley has decided not to take Wars top to Wellington for the Champion Plate. She will not race again until A T ew Zealand Cup day, when slie is engaged in both the Cup and the Stewards'. If Einaldo does not go to Timaru and race on the second day, he will be taken to Trentham, and run in the Champion Plate. He has been doing fair work, but a handicap at Cup time is much more in his line. Twelfth Night struck Mniself a few days ago. It was intended to take him to Wellington, but T am afraid he can be labelled a doubtful starter now, unless he makes a vory speedy recovery. Bee is booked to leave for Wellington next week. She has boon, doing attractive work for somo time, but slio lias not had a race for a good while, and is very gross. Medallist is going to Wellington to have another try at a selling race. The old fellow nulls up sore every morning, but comes back tho next day.
