Mr Davis commented on the excellent way* in which race meetings were couducted in Australia. Every cOuffcesy was extended to visiting sportsmen and New Zealand horses were." in high favour. Flood Tide is being sent to-day from Melbourne to Sydney and will reach Auckland on Friday next. His next start will be in the Auckland Cup. — i
