RANDWICK RACES j HEM WINS THE DONCASTER HANDICAP. ST. LEGER WON BY FINMARK. ■ By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Hoc May 17, 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, May 17. The weather was wet, the going heavy, and tho attendance poor for the first day of tho postponed A.J.C. Autumn Meeting ' ' , Glndful was always prominent in the Hurdles, but never headed the winner. Poitrel was greatly fancied for the Autumn Stakes, in which he reproduced his spring form (when he defeated Desert Gold). Snub ran well for six furlongs, but then dropped back, and finished last. Publican was favourite for the Doncaster Handicap. Dick Meagher and Sydney Damsel were also greatly fancfed. but neither of the trio finished in the leading division. The race proved a n boil-over for the outsider, Hem, who led practically from start to finish'.Fiumark was a hot favourite for the St. Leger, and justified expectations, He made his own pace, and left the field standing when A.
