AUSTRALIAN J.C. MEETING.
(Per Press Association). Sydney, Sept. 16. The Jockey Club held an enquiry today into the runniug of Le Var in the New Stakes. The Committee found tbo instructions given by Mr T. Payton with Mr J. B. Clark's consent to the jockey MacNamara, amounted in effect that Le Var was to be run in the interests of Coil, that MacNamara allowed Coil to pass him in the straight without making an effort to prevent him, and afterwards did not persevere with Le Var. It was resolved to censure Clark and Payton for not giving more explicit instructions to the jockey to win if ho could, and that notwithstanding the want of such instructions, it was the jockey's clear duty to endeavor to win, and as he failed to do so MacNamara be suspended for the remainder of the meeting.
