The third day's racing opens with the SteepleclMße, for which I fancy the Moosk 1, Zetland 2 Tommy Dodd 3. For the Christchurch Plate, Guy Fawkes has incurred 141bs. penalty, and Danebury 71bs., as the former won the Cnp with quito 71bs. in hand. I shall expect to see Gut Pawkes 1, Danebury 2, Fanny Fisher colt 8. For the Selling Eace Mangle 1, Tadmor 2, Black Peince 3; and for the Metropolitan Handicap, MIDDLETON 1, SONG3TEB OT GUT FAWKES 2 Pungaweueweue 3. The handicap for thi3 raco caused considerable dissatisfaction, in some quarters. Dan O'Brien scratched Fishhook immediately, tho weights were issued, and Mr StepHerson followed suit with Kob Roy. Tlie handicapper appears to have thought Fishhook was a "stiff'un" for tho Publicans' Purse yesterday, nnd that Eob Eoy did not do his best in tho Tradesmen's Handicap. The iojHsiije done to the Duaediu horse 13 severely commenced on; h'. is handicapped to give Paugaworewere 131b, whereas she beat him for the second place yesterday at a diiference of 31hs. Latest Betting. Chkistchuech, November 9.—The latest betting on the Christchurch Plate is 2 to 1 against Danebury, sto 2 Guy Fawk.es. Metropolitan—2 to 1 Guy Pawkes, 3 to 1 Pungawerewere, 5 to 1 Middleton. The representatives of the various Jockey Club* met to-day, and held a loi<g discussion as to adopting a general scale of weights for age and appointing one handicapper for the whole Colony. The Dunedin members suggested paying tho latter L6OO per annum, v*ith travelling allowance, and promised Ll5O a-ycar towards it. [Pkb Pbxss Agency.] Australian" summary.

■MiTBOTJnys, November 4.—Socially and politically the last fortnight has been very dull. The Electoral Bill passed both Houses, aid the Harbor Trust Bill has been nightly considered. The Opposition have several times attempted to "stonewall" the Bill, hub the Government ißsist upon its consideration till passed. Melbourne is now crowded wiih strangers,'acd amongst the visitors are tic Governors of Now South Wales and South Auutrnlfa. Fur the next fortnight there will bo a perfect round of entertainments. The now Academy of Music will be opened on the 7th iiiat. by the De Mursfca company. Sims Beeves and Sigaor Foli arrive here in May.• The Government have. nearly completed negotiations for the purchase of tho Hobs ju'a Bay Kailway. Several new Jines will be opened in the oonrae of a'few months, including the line to the westwarn. The Railway Construction Bill will provide for an additional mileage to be undertaken from tho loaa just launched. The now loan will give L 95 5s net, the amount averaged having been L9C 8s 6d.

B andieß are very high; 30s 6d has been paid for Heunessy's case, and for bulk Bs. Large gales in sugar have been made, but the prices are scarcely so firm ( one firm is the holder. New Zealand oats at 3s 6d to 3s 7d; wheat dull, at 6s 5d to 63 6d.
