Cieland, owner of Apologue, being upset over the result of the race, suggested to the V.A.J.C. Committee to hold an Inquiry. The suggestion was not received favorably) and Mr Cieland then demanded an inquiry. Tnc Com* milted; lifter Consideration; replied it would hold an inquiry it Mr die tana would agree' to pay all expenses of Same. Mr Clslftnd is now considering the Committee's proposals. In any case, Coffee, who rode Apologue m the Caulfield Cup, is not likely to ride the New Zealander in the Melbourne Cup. May King pulled up slightly lame after winning the Moonee Valley Cup.
