TRAINING NOTES.

muss ASSOCIATION

Christchurch, yesterday, The morning was dull, with a strong easterly wind. All work was on the plough, which was in good order. Pari-

tutu and Lctlierin did a mile and a quarter in 2.11 o-5. Paritutu finished four lengths ahead after a pleasing gallop, the best since his arrival. He is improving fast. Signalman beat Stratagem by six lengths over six furlongs in 1.10 2-5. Boomerang defeated Grand Shun easily over a mile and a quarter in 2.15 2-5, Multifid, Iromnould, Lyrist, and Star Rose did over a mile and a half in 2.39

3-5. Multilid was in front all the way, finishing live lengths ahead of Lyrist and Star Rose, who were ridden out. Iron-

mould was beaten off. Multifid’s gallop was very impressive, Achilles did serviceable work, Cross Battery did the last five of six furlongs in 1.4 2-5 Martcllo, St. Joe, Field Gun, and Ghoorka did a mile and a quarter. Martcllo had all the best of the gallop, Ghoorka at the last performing badly. The time was 2.13. Eonc, on the course proper, did four furlongs in 53 2-5, Makaroff, Armistice and Notus

did a mile and three-quarters, covering the last mile and a half in 2,44, Makaroff was ridden out, hut Notus was cased oft', Fireiron heat Petrovna by a length over live furlongs in 1.3. Aboriginal did the same distance in 1.2 4-5. The Lark heat Stronghold over a mile in 1.41 3-0. Sir Tristram and Golden Gate did six furlongs in 1.10 3-5, Sir Tristram having his companion well beaten, Red Gauntlet and Crichton,under a pull, did six furlongs in 1.17 1-5, Both wore in rare fettle. After breakfast the two-year-olds worked on the course proper. The best gallops over four furlongs were done by Amboiso, Gold Beater, -Boniform, Convent Bell, and Cockleshell, but Glciiculloeh was disappointing. Blythemaid did a good working gallop of a mile and three-quarters. Kirriemuir will not start at the meeting, but goes to the stud.
