-• Quite a plethora of racing has taken' place within the last few days; Since our last issue four more matches have been decided. On Tuesday Cossack, who conceded two stone to Manaia (not Obadiah, as stated in our last issue), was easily defeated by the grey in a half-mile spin, the stakes being £4. Yesterday, Manaia beat Kissing Cup in a canter over a mile course, but the latter bolted two miles before the race was ran. .£ls to £5 against Manaia was the stake the horses ! were'running for, and several other priyate wagers were made on the match. The grey was again to the front in a match against Mr Ridley's Violet for £4 a-side, once more winning easily. The grey pony has won for his backers no less than £22 in stakes within the last few days, besides the wagers they have won, and they now naturally consider him a regular " Carbine." J. Gwynne rode the winner on each occasion, whiie Mr Ward rode his own horses. (PSR UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION). Melbourne, Febuary 25. 4 to 1 is now the best price on offer about Bungebah for the; Newmarket, all the 9to 2 having been exhausted. . Fernando is receiving steady support at 100 to 5. Grey Gown is also being nibbled at 9uietly for the Newmarket at 1000 to 30, and for the Cup has eased to 7 to 1.
