RICCARTON NOTES. By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, October 29. The Riccarton gallops were interesting this morning. Gienculloch, who has apparently recovered from the accident, did two. circuits at three-quarter speed. Sister Anne beat Guidwife by eight lengths over six furlongs. Lapland and Outlander did a mile and a half in 2min 42 2-ssec, and Paritutu, Elevation, Mahuta, and Astrakhan a mile and a half in 2min Elevation finished best, but Paritutu nearly as good. Mahuta is apparently going off. Buccleugh, who has struck himself, ran ten furlongs at restricted speed. Idealist went six furlongs, easing up, in lmin 17 l-ssec. The gallop was a pleasing one. Master Delaval, Zimmerman, and Probable did a mile and a half in 2min 41 4-ssec, and finished abreast, but Master Delaval was going much the be*t, and could easily have beaten the others, whose display was not impressive. St. Joe, Apa, and Frisco ran a mile in 2min 12 2-ssec, St. Joe beating Apa by a neck in a creditable performance. Gazeley, Armis • tice, Maniapoto, Grand Slam, and Koran went a mile and a half in 2min 42 3-ssec. Gazeley, full of running, finished two lengths in front of Grand Slam, Koran being next, and Helen Portland last, under a strong pull. Gazeley's performance was very pleasing. Bonny Glen only walked, and shows signs of soreness. There was nothing exceptional in the two-year-old work. Red Gauntlet ran five furlongs in lmin 4 2-ssec. TARATAHI-CARTERTON ACCEPTANCES.
