C.J.C. SPUING MEETING

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Christchurch, L ist Night. Cynisca. and Crnchfiold were stripped soon after daybreak and sent u strong mile and three quarters. Cructitield cleared out from the mare who cfi<) twt apuear to try a yard contrary to general expectation and evidently to tho astonishment of those connected with both horses. Cruchfiold's tuna was fairly good considering that he was not spun right oat. Queen of Trumps, St. Andrew, and Thano went two rounds finishing at a good three-quarter pace for the last mile. Hippmnenes and North Atlantic galloped six furlongs faet. Florrio beat Tasby easily over a mile. Flinders an>l ITreodom did a fair gallop over the same distance. Rosefeldt, who was in receipt of Wdight from British Lion beat him in in tho last half mile of a mile and threequarters, Hoather Bell and Strophon brought Ho?rjfoldt home. Cajolery and Merrio England finished in front of Ruby in a fast mile. C! cjolery had most weight and went well within hiin-'elf cvining thu last six furlongs in even time. Norton and Kulnine, and Freeman and Yattaghan di I a serviceable mile, and of the two-year-olds Wakawatea and Laiincoston showed to inns' advantage. Tainar in a brisk run with tho latter was beaten by several length*, but it was evidently not a fair test, as shu did not get away we.l. Cl.inran>>ld and Ciackshot were not worked, and most of the other horses were restricted to ligiit tasks.

The betting on the New Zealand Cup is still very Hat. Freedom still holds the position of first favourite, 4 to 1 being offered against his chance. Craekshut i* next in demand at 5 to 1, and the others range from 6 to 10 to I.
