RACING AT FLEMINGTON. THIRD DAY. • RADNOR WINS LOCH PLATE. By Telezrarh— Pjoss Association—Cor jrinTit (Roc. March 5, 8.15 p.m.) Melbourne, March 5At Flemington to-day, tho Victoria Racing Cliiß's Meeting was continued. A big crowd enjoyed another fine' day, and tbore was some <;ood racing, though tho ijnlds.were sma.ll. The winners of live races 'were- anticipated successfully byith.e pnblic. Jolly Beggar was probably tho best mile horse in tho racing, being, closely pushed by Popinjay. 'Mountain Princess, contrary to expec- , tations, after her brilliant track gallops, was.again out of a'place. Audacity's failure was very disappointinsj to the ritable. Radnor's brilliance frightened off tho competitors, leaving only two to compote for. places. The Parisian ran well, but was hopeless. I'rultior looked good for another mile, and. must have run well. . . . Kelly broke his collarbone when Tho Vet fell, otherwise there were no mishaps. '. The Governor-General's party again attended. The dresses were brilliant. ■' Results: — ,- • ' ■ - AUTUMN HURBI/E RACE. A linndiMn sweepstake'of 2 sovs. each, with 350 added. Second horse to receive 71) and thu-third .15 sovs. out of the .stake.

DANNEVIRKEJ. C. MEETING:

, HIWITAPU V/INSBIP, RACE. "■' (By Teloirraph.-Spccial Heporter.) - DanmJvirkGj March 5. The Dnmicvirko Jockey Club's Autumn Hooting was brought "to a close to-day. Thu weather was hne, and there was-a large attendance. The sum of £13,532 was put through the tota'lisatcr, making. £29,595 for the meeting, .an increase cf; £7957 oh tho sum registered.last year. An inquiry into Berry's riding of Orleans in tho Mangatera Hack 'Welter ' rosultcd in a severe caution being administered by.the stewards. . New York was tho elect in the Hack Scurry. Seventeen lierscs went to the Dost, "and in a very lino tinisli between the favoilrito and Yladineau, the former won by ii bare half-head. To Iluliuti was third, and AVhispcrer, who cam« from a long way back, was next. Miss Lena was out in front to tho turn, but failed to run on. Hamnakaka ran badly. Ladify was a- better favourite than Orleans in the Hack Welter Handicap, and in Deeley's hands she won comfortably, with orfc:m3, who was tied in behind, in second place. Combustion, a ftoodluokiii", but- half-ready, sort, by Bombarclp, made .the paro to tlu> turn, where (ho favourite ran to tho front and was not osaiu troubled. . , Indi"o- was supported m the Juvenile Handicap, as if the race was all over, but the lint-, day's winner, Tavistock, accounted for liim very easily. Elovonia and Tavistock were tho first to become prominent, and at tho end of a furIon" Indijio was lyino; in second place. At tho distance Klovonia was done with, and Indico challcnced Tavistock, but had no chance of defeating liim. Klevonia was a fair third, and Marceline was'next. i Settlor and Brnnburn carried, most ,money in tlie bice handicap, but neither 'of the. pair iinis'hed in a place. Seatolidalft led Settler and Sα i Plnio as they passed tho stand the first time, and the, order was the same till tlio half-inile. whoro Jlescal and Rrr,el)urii moved up. Mescal was in front - entering the. straight, but liiwitnpu then put in a j run. nnd was a winner, all up tho straight. Trieze caught Jlwcal on the post,.and Bmeburn niitl Ssttler.were tho next to! finish. . . A' new-comer in 'Okalui (Mahaki—(Jiusy mare) was produced, and supported in the Hack Himllos. and he won nfter an- exciting finish with a rank ■outsider in Master M.ilaeln. Am>Hi<»r outsider in Muscadine was third, btneknde, a hot favourite, ran bn'llv. and so did Matlow. the second choice. F. Jfoii'lior rider of Stofikado, was lined £5 for iniscontl'mt al Uie harrier.Aftor thi' withdrawal of Zeus, Evadne and Eigo Park wcro the public fancies

in the Telephone Handicap, but the fliinl favourite,. Hmjiis, in the hands .of \VV 8011, improved considerably on yesterday's showing, and won a garni race by a bare half length from Microbe, with' Higo Park nn<l fivndno next.

In'error, Maintains name was left out of the correct card in the Kaitokc Vu , '.- ter, and, as is often the ease, the black mare won. ' The , top weight, Zeus, was a Jiofc favourite, with. Percelcr second choice. Zeus was first away, but down the- back Parcwamii led, and was not caught till the bend, when Percclcr took charge, and, .with .Monologue, ,icd into the straight. Zeiis got shut in at tho bottom, and Manitau; who had been last at the five furlongs, eamc fast on the outside; Zeus settled Monologue, but could no's reach Manitau, who paid a,big. price ■ Merry Jack was fourth. ■ : : It was left to tho'last race to produce -.the best finish of the day. Only five hprses.started, but three of them were keenly backed. -. Firing Line, St. Elm, and Top Note was the order when the nmchiue cloJScd, with very little between tliem. At the start, Firing Line, on the rails. led off, but St.'ElmiTandTop Note carried on the miming to the turn. At the bottom of the' straight the field was bunched, •. aiid then Peacemaker tackled St. Elmn, and Firing Lino also put in a claim. Up the straight the trio wore in a line, and hard' ridden they crossed the post in a. heap. No one could tell which Horse had wmi, and tho numbers wore eagerly awaited. There w.v> a cheer when tlie favourite got the verdict, aud ho certainly proved himself a very game horse, for he was meeting his field on much worse terms to-day, and' only won by sheer gameness.- , ■'■■ THE RESULTS.
