Iris had a pipe-opener by herself, and went very free and well. Salvage and Vanguard went twioe round at a steady pace, and I would rather stand the latter for the Derby than his more showy companion Cheviot, who went with Natator, the latter blowing like old Fishhook used to do. Blue Jaokct and King Quail had a go round in company. The King soon had his companion in trouble, but it must bo owned, however, that he had muoh the b:st of tho woights. Keene had Lady Emma, Matukau, and Gitsna on the ground, but they were not indulged in anything out of a walk. The Dunedin Onp winner was l*okiDg as fresh as paint. Cutis fead alao his team, and they were all looking well, particularly Aurora. Emir Bay is fast improving, but wants pushing along. Sam Higgot was out with hia team. Poet was looking the beat. Lunn's lot merely walked. Dan O'Brien had Holderness and Tasman going along at a good bat. Tasman was looking well, and will atrip as fit aa anything at the O.J.C. meeting." Anteros has loat his near side eye. How it was done no one knows, but the general opinion is that he ran it against a hook in hia box. Major Walmaly says he saw a good many horaeis when he was down South, but none to come up to Old Musket. For the two following paragraphs we are indebted to " Phaeton's " notts : " On my way to town from Bylvia Park on Saturday last, I oalled in at Waipiti to have a look at Major George's two King Cole eclts. I found them both lookiog the pioture of health and strength, and Harrison informed me that both are acquitting themselves well. Oa Saturday they were sent a fast threequarters of a mile, when the My Idea colt came home a little in advanoo of hia oompanion, though there is as yet little to ohoose between them. Bidding adieu to my young f Honda, I trotted up to Donald Taylor's place, to have a look at the Bpsom trainer's string. Taylor was away from home, but his son Dugald kindly stripped the horses, in order to allow of me having a look at them. Bt. 8 within was the first we interviewed, and the old fellow looked splendid in hia bright choßDut coat. Lara was the occupant of the next box, and right well did the old son of Towton look. He has wintered extremely well, and I never remember seeing his l»g» look so well as they do at the present timo. Under the oareful treatment he is buto to receive at the hands of Donalu, Lara should h&ve a big say, for the Spring Handicap with 7at 81bs for a mile and a half is just hia dart. Mitrailleuse, a two year old filly by Muoket from Bryoina, was the next we paid our respects to. She is a rather neat-looking well-built filly, standing over a lot of ground. She has only been up about eix weeks, and, for the short time, has oome on remarkably well. The hurdle raoer, Bawecata, completes the team. He has, apparently, been knocked about a good deal, but Taylor is beginning to get a bit of heart into him, and I have little doubt but that we shall aee the son of Fapapa sport ailk in the Hurdle Race at our Summer Meeting.

[ A rare botoh appears to have been made in telegraphing the weights for the Auckland Spring Handicap. Piscatorious has Bst 121 b j Billingsgate, Bit 101 b; Libeller, Bst 101 b. From the telegraphic report of the meeting we gather they had a very inoceteful day's sport at Wanganui on Friday last. We are pleased to see that Sam Powell polled off the Kniden with Last Ohance, a 3-year-old daughter of Painter, out of Venture's dam, fcho old Sir Hercules mare Ohance. Ngata pulled off the Hurdles in rather an unexpected manner from New Year and Mount Mr Powdroll made up for losing the Maiden by having a cut in with Hailstorm's halfbrother in the Wanganui Stakes Handicap, the well-bred Irishwoman obtaining second place, and The Gem, another daughter of The Painter, third. The winner, Tally 'Ho, is by Papapa, out of the old Towton mare Diaoretion—who, by the by, taking all in all, is a very auouessful brood mare—all her produce have been able to raoe more or lees. Only two started for the Bail way Plate, and the race resulted in a mere oxeroiso canter for Hippodamia, who, if wo are cot mistaken, won the same race last year when known as the Slander filly. The Consolation, won by Minerva, terminated the meeting.

AUBTBALIAN. One day during the week ending October 14 ;h, the Tasmanian colts Bagot and Stock, well did a sonsationnl gallop at Flemington by galloping once round in 2min 30seo, the three-year-old having a slight lead at the finish. " Augur " says he saw the gallop and thought it the best he had seen a three-year-old porform at Flemington. It is a thousand pities Bsgot it not in the V.B O. Derby, for not only is he one of tae finest-looking throa-year-olds at Flemington, but also one of the best, and he and his brother are perhaps the two most brilliant horses the Tasmanians have ever sent to this side of the water to do battle for them at a V.B. O. meeting. From the " Age " of the 16sh instant we are in possession of full particulars of the seoond day's racing at Caulfield. The first event of the day, the Findon Harriers' Gold Vase, was won by Mr W. Phillips' br g Blackthorn, beating a field of nineteen. The Open Handioap Steeplechase was appropriated by Sailor Boy, 9st j Erin, 93t 91b, second ; Collingwood, 12st 71b, third. Old Lurline'e three-year-old son by Tabal Cain, Prometheus, showed a lot of foot by ravrying 8s: to viotory in the Windsor Handioap of six furlongs in lmin 19see, winning with a lot in hand from Saionara, 3yrs, 7st 9»b j Squireen, 4yrs, 7st 81b. an indifferent third. A field of thirty-two started for the Cap, and the following is a full account of the raoe : Dongalston got away first, and Verdure Little Jaok, Gipsy Cooper and Darebin in the order named. Passing the stand Verdure led, closely followed by Tumult, Dongalston , Fryingpan, Darebin, Lord Burghley last. Bound the turn the same order was preserved as regards the first pair. Sardonyx coming then, with Darebin, Commotion and Fryingpan next; Little Jaok and Coriolanu* close up. Along the baok the o'der wai Verdure, Calma, Fryingpan, Ooiiolanua, Tumult, Sardonyx, Little Jaok, Prattle, Douglaston, Gipsy Cooper, Flying Jib and Darebin. By the sod wall Flying Jib ran up third, but was unable to keep his place, Verdure leading into the straight, with Calma seoond, Little Jaok third. Up the straight it looked entiroly like Verdure's race, but Little Jack oame up on the inside, and won cleverly by half a length from Verdure, who was a oouple of lengths from Gipsy Cooper, Calma and Gudarz being fourth and fifth. Napper Tandy, Fryingpan, Flying Jib and Mistaken next, and Lord Burghley last. Time, 2ntin 41Jseo. Among the distinguished matrons of the stud that have lately made additions to the blood stook of the eolony is Mischief, who has produced a full sister to the ex-champion First King. At Bryan O'Lynn Evening Star, dam of Commotion, has had a filly to Newminster, and at Bundoora Park Lurline has produoed a fine brown colt to Angler. Mr J. D. Kobertson has had the misfortune to lose his promising two-year-old oolt Ironclad, by Tubal Cain—Payohe, who recently got into a quicksand on Cheltenham beaob, and injured himself to such an extent as to necessitate hii immediate destroyal. Mr B. SuttOD, who is known as tre English bookmaker, attracted considerable attention in the paddook at Oaulfield last Saturday. His stentorian cry of "I'll loy the field" quite annihilated the more feeble voioes of tbe weaker lunged members of the ring. Being more than ordinarily liberal in his odds, he commended a thriving business on each event, and the throng around him and his locum tenens was so great that It was only with difficulty that he beoame accessible. Mr Sutton was unlimited in his transactions, and as it was optional with his patrons to pay or reoeive after eaoh raoe, his mode of conducting business found considerable favor with a certain class of speculators. The backers of Fryingpan had a very narrow escape of losing their money recently. Not oaring to take the colt to a strange stable on the previous evening, fearing that the change might upset him, Mr F. F. D*kin made arrangements with the colt's old custodian, David Jones, to lead him from Flemington to Caulfield early on the Guineas morning. While on the road something frightened the oolt, and turning round suddenly he oame on to Jones with both fore feet, and knocked him down. The colt then broke away, but instead of galloping off stood and looked at Jones ljing on the ground. One of the lads was thns enabled to secure him, and led him on to Caulfield. Poor Jenes was very severely hurt, and three of his ribs were broken, but he is now progres. sing favorably. Guesswork was unfortunately galloped over in the Oaulfield Guineas, and his hooks became injured to suoh an extent as to necessitate his being oonfined to his box during the early part of the following week. The news of the Gem's withdrawal from the Melbourne Cup created some surprise, inasmuch as he had been freely supported from time to time.
