MOUNTAIN KNIGHT AMISS. United Press Association. Sydney,§s October 5. Mountain Knight has also been scratched for the Victorian Amateur Turf Club engagements. Wild statements are afloat as to the cause, some of them" alleging that he has been poisoned and is a victim of dope. Another story, and one likely to be more true, is that the horse’s mouth was burnt a little, and caused him considerable pain. This, experts say, could have been caused by one ol several weeds which may have been picked up in bay, or elsewhere Hover er, ■! is satisfactory to know that Mountain Knight is nothing like a dead-one, as he did slow work to-day. As he was a hot favorite for the Caulfield Cup his withdrawal has caused something approaching a sensation. Mountain Knight has been scratched for all remaining Randwick engagements, Delmonto for the Members’ Handicap, and Athonic for the Subuilau Handicap.
