SYDNEY^ 3rd September.

Movie Star was at* forlorn odds for the Hobartville Stakes at Warwick Farm on Saturday, but as A. D. Webster fancied him as a certain placefilier; third berth was not altogether unprofitable. Movie Star appears to have shaken... off his soreness/altogether. ■. ; . Pateena.continues to,-show- some improvement for J. >T. Jamieson; His two-year : olds^re.-also, doing well.

He injured a stifle slightly during the race, but there was little amiss with him on the track this week. '. . .'■-' .■" •"■ ■■':■ : \

• B. O'Dohnell has had another turn of bad luck. His four-year-old Balloon King, who had been galloping..well, has gone wrong, and; has' been scratched for all his spring engagements.

Amounis is under a cloud at present, and his trainer; F. M' Grath, has grave doubts about his ability to get the old fellow right again. His ambition was to top the £50,000 mark'in stakes with Amouris; but the prospects now. are not good. ■ : -. . ':_ , Phar Lap is^expeeted. here next week. From all accounts he has furnished into a magnificent gelding, and despite being labelled as *'big as-a brewer's horse,'? confounded his .critics. He will not race in Sydney-until the1 big meeting at Eandwick. ~..'.'■ i
