TATTERSALL’S CLUB RACES, LIMERICK WINS AGAIN. Pmift Association—By Telegraph-Copyright SYDNEY, September 11. TaLtersall’s Club races were held in hue, cold weather. Showers overnight and in the forenoon made the going on the Randwick track slightly heavy. Though New Zealand horses carried off fewer prizes than during i/io previous week at Warwick < Farm, Limerick added to his reputation by annexing the principal event, the Chelmsford Stakes, in the easiest style cantering home from Merry Mint. It was a convincing win, though the New Zealand Derby candidate, Merry Mint, ran. well. Although New Zealanders ran in all events, none of the others were placed. Tramway Handicap. 7f. Mullabawn (7.7) 1, Persuasion (8.8) 2, Cumon (7.2) 3. Fourteen starters, including White Fang and Runnymede. Persuasion made the most of the running, but in the straight Mullabawn came fast and won by five lengths. Time, Imin 27sec. CHELMSFORD STAKES. W.f.a. lm and If. Limerick, 9.4 1 Merry Mint, 7.13 * Bon o’ Mine, 7.8 3 Seven starters. Genuine showed the way to Limerick, Commendation, and Merry Mint, who were together past the half-mile. A little later Limerick shot to the front, and led into the straight two lengths ahead of Genuine, with Commendation, Merry Mint, and Son o’ Mine following in that order. Merry Mint moved into second place, but Limerick, taking things very easily, went on and cantered in two and a-half lengths ahead of Merry Mint, who beat Son o’ Mine by one and a-half lengths. Commendation was fourth, three lengths away. Time., Imin 55)sec. Spring Handicap. Hm. —Murillo (8.4) 1, Tibbie (7.12) 2, Valamita (8.5) 3. Seventeen starters, including Battlement and llawlietu.

Murillo won by three lengths. Battlement was eighth. Time. 2miu 9isec. COMMENDATION A DISAPPOINTMENT. SYDNEY, September 11. The 'Sun’ critic says:. “ Commendation was a groat disappointment in the Chelmsford Stakes, and so lar as he has gone in Sydney ho has not lived up to expectations. Everybody him to extend Limerick. Far Irom that, ho was beaten at the turn. . A month's work will doubtless help him, hut he will need to improve considerably to be able to run out a severe mile and a-half of the Caulfield Cup.” Tho champion sprinter Valicaro has been definitely retired from the Turf, and goes to the stud.

WILLIAMS AND SQUIRES DRAW. SYDNEY, September 31. At the Stadium a fierce and bril-liantly-fought fifteen rounds between Johnny Suuires and Sunny Jim Williams resulted in a draw.

Both boxers completed their training on Saturday Johnny Leckic has probably never been in better condition, hut he will have to be very alert, for O’Connor is in tho pink of condition, and will travel tho fifteen rounds in at a very fast bat. O’Ccmnor’s manager, Mr Ike Kutncr, is fully aware of Johnny Leckie’s toughness and aggressiveness, . but states that hi.s protege is every bit as tough as Leckic. Both are confident oi sncc>3s.s, and local opinion is fairly equally divided. The contest is certain to prove interesting. O’Connor is only .seventeen years of age, and Leckic ’s twenty.
