SECOND DAY

S^dney Cup Won by Mestoravon

SYDNEY, March 29. TRe second day of the autumn meeting was held at Eandwick to-day in fine weather. There was an excellent attendance, the track was in splendid order, the ideal conditions being favouraule for .fast times. The Doncaster runner-up, Silver Eose, received a measure of compensation for Saturday 's defeat by winning the La Perouse Handicap with ease." The winner was always favourable and caused baekers no anxiety during the race. Mestoravon, who came up from an obscure country performer to equal favourite for the Oup in three weeks, fully justified the confidence reposed in hira by running the two miles in threequarters of a second better time than the . Eandwick record . and within a quarter of a second of Wptan's Australian record. In point of numbers and quality the Oup field was the poorest eontesting that event for the past twenty years. Wotan was etrongly supported but he never flattered his admirers and he was last to flnish. On the form shown so far the New Zealanders appear unlikely to participate in winning honours.
