SPORTING.

RACING IN AUSTRALIA. SPRING CARNIVALS CONCLUDED* THE PURSER CASE. CHAIRMAN'S HORSE DOPED. (special to "thx riutss.'') SYDNEY, November 13. The Victoria Bating Club's Oaks Day resolved itself into "soakes" day, a3 rain fell incessantly for several hours, and the wisdom of holding the meeting was freely discussed. However, the succeeding days had been allotted, and in view of the full programme it was thought necessary to carry out the events. The fields were small, and with the exception of the first and last races the finishes were very uninteresting. Although the additions to Flemington are comfortable so far as members arc concerned, they have caused considerable inconvenience to the public who keep the sport going. The betting ring is about 250 yards away from the winning post, and with 125,000 people on ' the course one can Tcadily imagine the discomfort of patrons who wish to make an investment and also to view the finishes of the events. On Cup day heavy rain foil as soon as the big event was decided, and there was hardly a patron able to return home in the same dry condition, as he arrived. On Oaks Day the attendance was vory small, but a firm footing on the newly-pre-pared ground was impossible, and raincoats, umbrellas, goloshes, and even leggings would not have kept one dry. Tor tho Mimosa Stakes, for two-year-olds with special weights, there were but four starters, including the New Zealand-bred filly Varium (Boniform — Lady Wayward II.). Petunia, a brother to Yersine, a brilliant two-year-old last season, was an odds-on favourite, and J he had little difficulty in landing the prize. Varium ran prominently early, but coming towards tho post her saddle slipped, and her rider had difficulty in holding on. She was, however, too far in front of Lord Reading Jo lose third money. Pive and six furlong events at Flemington are run up the straight, and they are generally regarded as true tests of stamina; in fact, it is almost invariably asserted that it takes a mile horse to mn the six - furlongs Newmarket Handicap.

Gloaming Absent. The Linlithgow Stakes, Tun over one mile, was looked forward to witli great interest, as it was thought that it would have brought together Gloaming and the English horse The Night Patrol over their pet distance, but tho heavy going was the cause of Gloaming failing to put in an appearance. In any ease, New Zealand had a representative in Tho Hawk, who was the only ono backed at all seriously against the Earl of Stradbroke's horse, who was always at odds-on. Bold and Bad, another importation, and the aged Englefield completed the field. The Hawk found Lis feet early, but after a furlong or so had been covered ho was passed by The Night Patrol; and that was the end of the race. Once tho straight was reached, J. Pike brought Tho Hawk to the centre of tho course so that he would have the advantago of the good going, but this did not enable him to make up any of the leeway, for TheNight Patrol revelled in tho mud. The others were not in it from the word go. When the field was coming round the ; turn into the straight a dog ran on to the course and almost between the legs of the horses, but (fortunately it caused no mishap. Gloaming was not produced on the last day of the meeting, so his record so far as Victoria is concerned is ono start, one win. Weak Oaks Field. No doubt because of her third in the A.J.O. Derby, Versine was thought to be a "good thing" for the Oaks ! Stakes, but she had to be satisfied with third position, and backers came a< heavy thud, as they laid odds on her very freely. Almost double figures were ; available about the remainder. Another of Boniform'a progeny, in La Boniform, made the early running,. but nine furlongs from home Miss Disraeli ran to the front, and she was not afterwards headed, passing tho post six lengths dear of The Spearhead :filly Chickling, who had no difficulty in beating Versine into third place. SLa Boniform -was sold after tho race, and she will do her future racing in Sydney. It was a weak field of poor Btayera.

Spearfelt' a Staying Ability Doubted. <ns h + w W o ere man y lo were . °* opinaon Spearfelt showed a tendency to stop in the last one hundred yards iu the thrilling finish ior the A.J.C Derby, won by Heroic, and light was thrown on the subject by the colt's ' rider m the Melbourne Cup. He stated after the race that Spearfelt Lad every chance, but tired over the ll }4, J\ of Ms d «Play in the 0. B. Fisher Plate" on the concluding day of the V.R.C. Carnival, it would appear that Spearfelt is not as good as was first anticipated, or that the Melbourne Cup race had knocked lim out. There were but three starters in the C. B. Fisher- Plate, run over a mile and a half, and it was generally regarded aa a match between the colt and the imported horse The Night Patrol, but once again the public was astray in its calculations, for the outsider of the three, Lilypond, was successful. The Night Patrol had not previously been'seen out over a mile and a half, but Ms resolute finishes in mile races had given the impression that he would see out the extra half mile* in good style. Such was not the case r however. Spearfelt showed the way out of the straight, but The Night Patrol was pulling double, and Lewis had to give him his head. Shortly, afterwards he passed Spearfelt, with Lilypond trailing them. There was »o alteration until the straight was reached, and here it was expected that Spearfelt would come away. It was beyond him, and The Night Patrol shot out, but his, effort was not strong enough to cause any anxiety to Lilypond, who simply passed them as if they were standing, and the Western Australian-owned horse won very easily. Lilypond, who is by imported Lilyveil, is not a massive looking horse, but his staying ability s is> undoubted, and he is a credit to his trainer, J. Holt, who also had the eare of the other Western Australian . representatives, Eurythmi'c and Eas- ' ingwold. Incidentally it might be mentioned that Eurvthmic's first foal Ja ,a colt from Fleet Maid. An Unenviable Task, * *owVtti 8 >)K lo1; of thc WilliamsS j to bring ea <* ws

racing season, in Australia to a close, and it must be said that this popular seaside club carries out its task in a fitting manner. The finish for this year's Williamstown Cup will long be remembered, for five horses flashed past the post almost in line, and the judge certainly had an unenviable task. He, however, was very prompt with his decision in favour of San Antonio. The Melbourne Cup winner, Baekwood, fulfilled his engagement, and P. Brown journeyed from Sydney to ride him. The Williamstown course does not suit a horse like Baekwood, as the track is not a big one, and it seems on the turn most of the way. Miss Disraeli, winner of the V.R.C. Oaks, and Graeulus, winner of the Coongy Handicap, made most of the early running, and others well in the picture were San Antonio, Raith, Yacamunda, and Our Prince. Backwood was last until the halt-mile, where he made a forward move, and, although Lilvpond was fairly well nlacecl, he appeared to he hampered next to the rails. Coming round the 1 urn, Graculus was showing the way to Tookarbv, San Antonio, Yacamunda, and Our Prince, while Brown Rajah was making a fast run on the outside. Half a furlong from home the field was well bunched, and twenty yards from the winning post five horses were almost in f« line. Each jockey was hard at it. each horse straining ever) muscle, .'aid when the post was reached the was the only person in a position to sav which horse had won. He gave it to San Antonio by a short head from Graculus, with Brown Bajah, but a head away third. Yacamunda and Tookarbv were not hair a length from the winner, and Our Prince and Baekwood, who finished together, were also very close up.

Purser Case. And vet another chapter iir the wellknown Purser case has begun. It was generally anticipated that there would be legal proceedings over the matter, especially when Heroic was left m for the V.R.C. Derbv and Irish Rhythm for the Cantala Stakes. At the time acceptances were due the stable withdrew the other horses with engagements, but paid up for the two mentioned. It was the intention of the Tye-Corteen-Godby combination to apply for an injunction against the Victoria Racing Club, but the committee of the club got in first and gave instructions that the horses be scratched. During the week an involved writ was issued m the case in which damages 'are claimed, and although no amount was mentioned, it has been reported that the sum exceeds £30,000. It is asked that the ease should be set down for heariug before a judge and jury. Although the case will not be heard probably until next year, the matter will be the main topic in turfcircles for some time to come. As regards legal proceedings, the racing rule reads: "Any person who takes part in any matter coming within these ruleß shall be held thereby to consent to be bound by them, and shall not bo entitled to appeal to any Court because of anything done under these provisions. ''

Homeward Bound. Mr and Mrs B. J. Mason have returned to Sydney from Melbourne, and they will return to New Zealand iiext week. Ashley Reed . has also arrived in Sydney from Melbourne, and he will be leaving for New Zealand on November 20th. Alleged Doping. 'Quite a stir was caused in sporting circles at the beginning of the week over the alleged doping of Parvenu, the property of the chairman of the Australian Jockey Club, Mr C. C. Stephen. Parvenu' looked to have a mortgage on the Hurdle Race at Randwick on Saturday, and his owner returned from Melbourne that morning especially to see him run. Parvenu was a short price favourite, and although it is customary for him to run to the front and practically lead all the way, on this occasion he ran very erratically, and could do no better than run third. When he pulled iip, his trainer observed that Parvenu was very uneasy, and the gelding was hurried home to his stall. It was then noticed that his eyes were dilated, and a veterinary examination revealed that the gelding had been subjected to an injection of atropine, arid his eyesight was considerably affected. The matter was put in the hands of the police immediately, but no awest has yet been made. It is tho opinion of the' trainer that the poisonous dose was administered before the horso was taken to the course, and probably while the attendants were getting ready for the races. A swab was taken on Monday and sent to an analyst, but the latter's report did not throw any light on the matter, as the swab should have been taken when the matter wa3 first discovered.

New Zealand-Bred Competitors. Absurdum was a starter in the Plying Welter Handicap atßandwick on Saturday, but after showing up for most of the way he failed to gain a place. .The Absurd —Class colt Nouyeau Biche also started in this event, but he was not prominent, nor was Dion, by Domesthenes, in tho second division of the Farm Stakes. In this race Absurla (late Ridiculous) was early in evidence, but the distance was obviously beyond the mare.

It is reported that Mr J. A. Taylor who recently bought Tresham, has sold his Martian—Lovelorn mare Dominant and that she will go to the stud. ' That good horse Surveyor has resumed work at Ellerslie, says an oxchange, and his appearance indicates that he did some work away from headquarters before returning to the track. Surveyor sprinted a couple of half miles last week and has still plenty of speed.

Mr E. Biddiford has purchased the half-brother by Martian to Inferno from his breeders, Messrs Hume and Moody. ■ '_ . .

GLOAMING'S TRIP.

THE ROSEDAY CASE.

The 'W«Uirigton Trotting Club has issued a two days' programme for its Summer Meeting. Previously the club has only enjoyed the privilege of a oneday permit, but evidently anticipates being granted another day. The stakes total £3650, and should attract some good horses, but as the meeting is to be held on a Saturday and a Wednesday it is not likely to find so much favour with visiting owners, as if held on two consecutive days. j

MEMORABLE RECEPTIONS. (SPtCIAL TO "IB rsess.' 1 ) INTEROARGILL, November 19. The achievements of Gloaming on Zealand and Australian racing tracks arc a source of pride to lus owner. Mr G. D. Greenwood, and to Mrs Greenwood, who are returning to Xyttelton by the Moeraki, which also has on board this remarkable horse, which has become the idol of sportsmen in all parts of the Dominion. Durinsr. the short time available before rejoining the Moeraki at Bluff, Mr and Mrs Greenwood spent a few hours in this afternoon, and in an interview with a '•'Southland' Times" reporter made some interesting references to their trip to Australia. Mrs Greenwood appeared to- be as well versed as her husband in all that pertains to Gloaming, and took a keen pleasure in reiatiug incidents in connexion with his rat-ins career. Both expressed themselves as delighted with their visit to Australia, and particularly to 3lelbourne.

At Melbourne. Mr Greenwood said ho took Gloaming to Melbourne at tho request of the* Victoria Racing Club, which recognised that his presence at tho Meeting would L>3 of considerable interest as ho was foaled in Victoria and in a way was regarded as li their horse."' He had been unable to go to Victoria in previous years, as it would have interfered with his ordinary programme of racing in New Zealand. He generally left Sydney about October in orderto bo home for tho New Zealand 1 Cup Meeting in Christchurch, and: the Champion Plato in Wellington, a race "hicli Gloaming had won on a number of occasions. However, on account f>t' the keen desire on tho part of the V.R-.C. that Gloaminjr should be- present at its Meeting, he agreed to cancel his New Zealand engagements and to fall in with its request. Gloaming was shipped to Melbourne, but with Mrs Greenwood he travelled by train, arriving; in the Victorian capital just in time to see the Caulfield Cup, a race which he had never seen, run before. It had been his intention to start Gloaming at the Moonee Valley Meeting, but it was found that the course there was rather heavy. However, at the club's request, Gloaming paraded there, and a wonderful reception awaited hijn. As he galloped' around the course with G. Young in the saddle, cheer upon cheer arose from the sreat crowd of racegoers present at the Meeting. Gloaming's next outing was in the Melbourne Stakes, which lie won very comfortably amid great enthusiasm. Yvhittier was second and The Hawk third, but the hitter had unfortunately been lamo since and had been unable to take part in any engagements.

A Wonderful Beception. Referring to the reception accorded to Gloaming at the Melbourne Cup Meeting, his owner said that the.enthusiasm was remarkable, and the scene would always live in his memory. There were 130,000 people on the course, and immediately Gloaming appeared they set up a thunderous clapping which continued until the parade had ended. Never had there been sueh a reception on a Melbourne course, and probably there would never be again. Gloaming was the champion horse of the century, and ,the Victorian people idolised him because he was bred there. Thousands of people visited his box, and day after day there was a stream of people eager to sec him, quite a number having to travel long distances in order to do so. Gloaming was always at his best among a crowd, and appeared to be pleased that ho had so many admirers.

Condnct of Meetings. In a brief reference to the conduct of the meetings in Australia, Mr Greenwood said the starting both in Sydney and Melbourne left little to be desired, while the appointments at Plemington were unequalled in the Southern Hemisphere. Gloaming's Winnings. There seemed, to be some difference of opinion in New Zealand in regard to the actual amount won in stakes by Gloaming, and various amounts had been credited to him, stated his owner. His actual winnings amounted to £40,624.

The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the past year had he?n one of the busiest that the Association had known. There had been a lot of work done.
