SPORTING.

PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Melbourne, August 9. A ourious mistake was made in declaring the weights for the Oma Plate at next Saturday's meeting. The handieapper allotted tbe New Zealand horse Chivalry the minimum weight of 6.7, confounding him with a horse of the same name, and a poorer performer, from Gippsland. The horse may possibly be re-handioapped.
