C. Emerson, who has' had no end of falls in races lately, narrowly escaped another in the Addiugton Handicap on Tuesday. lip was riding Ohrysotis, and when Sir Hamilton fell and Joan came down over him, Emerson's mount was right behind thorn, and was only pulled out in the -nick of time. Tiora was heavily backed in both her races at Feikling, but she did not get among the placed horses. Iu the Ougo Hack Handicap on Monday sh-« ; certainly showed a little pace, but even thou, with b'st, iOlb.. she failed to finish within lengths ef the placed horses. She is only.a lit Jo mare, and. as she. had i)st. to carry iu the fcjrurry on the second day, it was difficult to account for her being made favourite, especially as she drew a position seventh from the rails. The explanation probably was that in the first place the opposition was very weak, and in the second place Tiora had thn services of L. Ni>dd(?T, who was in fine form at tire meeting, and who up till that, stage had ridd-cn four winners. Apropos of the disqualification 01 Wallalo, the- Melbourne "Ago" of April 8 says that no one in Melbourne, wliero the 'horse hails from, and has done all his racing, would dream*of hacking the son of Wallace in any mile race. For Children's Hacking Coughs at Night, I Woods' Great Peppermint Curs, is. 6d.*
