THE RICHMOND-STEAD TEAM COMMENT BY. SPORTING WRITERS. (Ite. November 9, 5.5 p.m.) Melbourne, November 8. Sporting writes comment on the failure of the Richmond-Stead team of horses, of which g'eat deeds were anticipated in the spring campaigns. Only ono race, the Uimerack Stakes, fell to this combination, which cost the public a mint of money. It is believed that better niau.igeiuent would huve result;-.! in the team at least paying its expenses. j.t is a bad policy to blame the jockeys, and owners change them frequently when their horses are defeated on their merits. Surveyor was the most costly horse. Hβ was heavily supported for six races, and did not win'oiw. Mr. W. Li. Stead is returniiif to Wellington, His horses, Surveyor and l)e----liglit, go by the .M'ocraki on November 19. ENGLISH RACING LIVERPOOL AUTUMN CUP. ' Anatrullan-NcTT Zealand Cablo Association (Roc.
