(By Telegraph-

— Copyrieht.)

(Received 2tf, a.m.; SYDNEY, March 21. Lough Neagh to-day completed the Rawson Stakes-Chipping Norton Plate double for the third time, and in winning the latter race at Warwick Farm the Queenslander battled on gamely to hold offi Allunga, who attracted attention to his Sydney Cup prospects by malcfng up ground against Lough Neagh in the straight. Lough Neagh is recognised as one of the hardest horses in Australia to run down once he has got his nose in front. The veteran's victory, as usual, drew affectionate applause. Barramul and Prince Quex, the two Leger candidates, fiuished almost on level terms, Barramul having been the pacemaker. Wotan tailed the field almost throughout but -he should derive beneflt from the run. Cuddle, who is suffering from chronic indigestion, did not start, and it is doubtful whether she will race at Randwick. Liverpool Handicap honours were divided between the winner, King's Head, who came from the middle of the field, and Grand, Mogul, who was third after being second to last into the straight. Both Tecorded fine Doncaster trials. The lightly-welghted Mestoravon con•vincingly won the Autumn Cup, following a win In a distance race at Rosehill last week. He has 6.7 in the Sydney Cup.
