ADDINGTON TROTTING NOTES. CHRISTCHURCH. Nov. 6. The semi-final workout of the horses engaged at the Ti'otfciug Club’s -meeting attracted a good crowd to Addington but work was not of outstanding interest. As .the result of earlv morning rain the 'track was on the h-eavv side though it, improved as the work progressed. A strong southerly wind was another factor against fast times. A. Onyx was an earlv worker, but her task was ordv- a mild or.e. She wentoff from- the stand at the- two-mde peg pud wps under a big bold all through the first-two circuits. Them speed-' ws cl a need on. and she came home the last four furlongs being covered m J m in S«eo, the full journey taking 4min 44see. The New Brighton una,re looks thoroughly tuned up, and should not require much more fast work. TntsV Dillon nut in an appearance from Waimate but was Dh off with a mild task, ending up with a sprmt

The Clip candidate looks as if slie has done a "fairly solid preparation . Sheik, V.ilo and Fancy Boy broke •away at the two-mile post, with the first-named well on the. outside. At the orid! of a mile and a-half Fancy Boy drew out and the other pair went on "together, crossing the line in 4min 325-ec without being driven out. Sheik covered a lot of extra ground and he pulled up : much better than. Vilo, his performance being of much more merit thorn is indicated by the tune. «.

J. Bryce was present with Tar-a-irc, Ahuriri, and Taurekareka, all oi whom look in rare, order. The firstnlimed pail' were let olf with easy tasks.
