The actnd records of the Victoria Eyeing Club's spring meeting, which . was concluded at J?)emington to-day, show that tho attendance on each day was better than the best record for previous meetings. Tho last day was no exception in. tho matter of weather, the almcsplicro being cool and the day bright. Principal interest, in tho good all round racing centred in tho struggle between Malt King, Trafalgar, and Comedy King. Trafalgar had hosts of friends, who, however, were just a trifle afraid that Malt King, coming into tho contest fresh and ■reell after Trafalgar and Comedy King's hard week, would triumph. This was not to be, for tho race proved tho best of good things for Trafalgar, who maintained the lead from the bridge onwards. It was a slow race for ths fii-st mile and a quarter. After gaining the straight, Trafalgar ran right away amidst ringing cheers. Ifesults:— .SPUING HANDICAP, a sweepstake of 5 soys, each, with 300 sovs. added. One mile ajul a quarter. Mr. J. V.
