SYDNEY, Oct. 8. The totalisalor investments for the spring carnival were ,L‘3IG,G24 as against i‘.‘V*o.9T2 in 1922, the reduction being attributed to the smaller attendance. Following on the withdrawal of Heanfortl and Dlonming the press generally pay- a tribute to the excellent struggle in the llandwick Plate, honours going to liivoli for winning, but Da. id and Rapine are also sharing thd prai>e for a moral victory. The photographs of the finish mostly show only the near side of the horse liivoli, so closely wore the throe locked together as they flashed past the judges. As a result of the performance Rapine. it is now understood, is going to Melbourne.
