SPORTING NOTES.
The Canterbury Jockey Club, at their meeting on Saturday afternoon, took into consideration the disqualification of Mata and the jockey Eay by the Victorian Facing Club. It appeared from the statement of the chairman, that he had taken the necessary steps to obtain from the Melbourne Club information as to the evidence on which the disqualification was passed upon horse and rider, but the Victorian Club did not respond. Under the circumstances theC. J.C. have decided not to endorse the disqualification, not having any evidence to go upon. There was a report current on Saturday night that the Sydney Leger had been won by Lurline’s first colt Motea, Progress second, and Grand Flaneur, who was backed at 5 to 1 on him, was unplaced. Sweetmeat is said to have won the Craven Plate of a mile and a quarter, beating three others.
