' NOTES ON THE RACING. In tho Spring Stakes. Irish Elegance was always well placed, and ridden a judicious race, she won cleverly from The bupper, •with Bombproof u fair third. .^ e named was not ridden a particularly good raco as, after getting away rather badly, ho was made too much uso of over the three furlongs, so that'after getting to the front ho died av/ay. Onco More, who was ono of the first to begin, hit himself badly, and completely settled his chance. bo turned out for a few months. Bonny Mac, who finished fourth, is a three-year-old gelding by Bonny Glen-Reception, and of the lot engaged in the race ho IOOKB likely to make the most improvement. St. Winnow whipped round when the barrier rose, and took no nart in the race. , Margerine, who looked big* well,. se« out to carry her 9si in front all the way in tho November Handicap, with a result that she w-as "done with at the turn for home. John Barleycorn then went on. a«d won clevorlv. Marsa might have just beaten him had she not been carried out at the home turn. Subterfuge ran her usual game race, but was. not good enough at the weights. Bellshire failed to see the journey out in the company. . An unfortunate, accident happened in the Tycho Hack Handicap. Lorraine bolted with her rider, C. McGregor, and das ing through the plantation round by tho halfmile post, threw tho youngster against a treo The lad was picked up by a mounted policeman, and- conveyed to the' limaru HosP Moorabbe was .a warm favourite in the Tycho Hack Handicap, but she and Mib-souri-"got away very badly. '.Moorabbe was in front at the end of two furlongs, but at the end .was unable to stave ofi Barley K Tyne was always in the load for the President's Welter, and but for Ba«dy ting a lucky run on the jails he would have W< patient race infront Bombproof just lasted long enough'to beat Fabisco, v. ho cot chopped out at the start,. and was last at tho' end of two furlongs, in the Kerrytown Hack Welter.
