R.ANDWICK RACES . NIGHTMARCH WINS BRILLIANTLY United Press Association. —ByElectrio Telegraph.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, October. 6. The Australian Jockey Club were favoured with ideal weather and an attendance of seventy-eight thousand for the opening day of tlieir spring carnival of Randw'ick on Saturday. Honour’s galloping companion, Jaloux, gave a sterling performance in the Trial Stakes, but was in a bad position on entering the straight. However, it got clear and put in a brilliant finish, but missed first honours by half a' length. New' Zealand’s Derby hope, Honour, enjoved a splendid run throughout, and was always prominent, but - was-

unable to make an impression on the winner in the run home. Limerick’s absence in the Spring Stakes robbed this race of much interest, leaving Winalot almost certain of victory. The New' Zealander, Arikinui, was well fancied in the Kensington Handicap, Second Division, but w r as unable to pace it with the winner. The results are as follow: Hurdles.—-Perides 1, Paul T. 2, Swig 3. Won comfortably by two lengths. Time 3.39£. Trial Stakes.—Violin Solo 1, Jaloux 2, Edgardo 3. Won by half a .length.
