turf topics. (By "Jloturoa.") . Canterbury Giiind National Meeting will be continued at Riecarton toclay, when the Grand National Hurdle * ovs colu os up for decision, iho •J.aranaki representative Parituhi i an a decent race in the Jumpers' Flal Race on Tuesday, and is apparently in capital form. Ghoorka was very tired when he full in the Trial Hurdles, and jumped slovenly right throughout. Compass and Pretty Maid ran well up in the , Jumpers' Flat liace, but Aorangi has been reserved for to-day's race. Prospector has gone through a seaivhiim piepuvalion, and Defeat ran well at Xrentham. When Paritiitu and Aoruii"i tell in the Great Northern Hurdle Race opinions differed as to which of the pair would have finished first, and their meeting in the Grand National Hurdles should settle the point bevond a doubt The winner appears to "be well concealed, and a good race is certain to eventunte.
