PARASANG KILLED

RICCARTON TRIALS

FOREST GLOW PLEASES

, (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Some jumpers gave extra interest to the work at Riccarton this morning. Half a dozen horses started for a round of the Grand National course, but it was a mixed display, one' of them (Parasang) having to be destroyed, after, breaking .his leg. Forest Glow (W. J. McDowell), High Speed (V. Langford), Nocturrius (C. G. Humphries), Cock o' the North (M. Reilly), Parasang (N. Trillo), and Burglar (E. Deslandes) started off from the nine furlongs barrier for a round of the National fences. All, went well over the sod ;Wall and the post-and-rails. Cock o'.the North then refused at the first of the kennels double, and Nocturnus jumped it badly and fell at the second leg. Cock o ' the North was tried several times at the kennels double but without success. Forest Glow and High Speed went on. from Burglar and Parasang, all jumping well till they reached Cutts's fence. The first-named three cleared it all right, but-Parasang ran into the fence and stopped. Parasang , had broken his near foreleg, the mishap having occurred about twenty yards before he reached the fence, probably through, knuckling over. N. Trillo, the rider of Parasang, was thrown. He was carried to the trainers' room, but after being examined he was found to have escaped with a shaking and he was able to walk off, the course a little later. Forest Glow knd High Speed pleased by their jumping displays, and the hunteir Burglar also went very well. . Royston (R. X.' Smith) jumped once round the schooling fences.
