" Y.R.C. MEETING. MELBOURNE, This Day. The Melbourne Stakes and Derby, run on "Saturday, resulted as follows: MELBOURNE STAKES—Eurythmic 1, Grconstead 2, Poitrel 3. viOTOBIA DERBY.—Salitros 1, Nautical 2, Syce Knight 3. Received 11.5 a.m. SYDNEY, This Day. The Herald, describing the Derby, states that the race was very rough rounding the first turn. All the riders in the leading division eased up, and there was much bumping, resulting in subsequent congestion. . Erasmus and Syce Knight were the chief sufferers. Salitros here went round and filled a handy lead at the mile post, and led for the rest of the journey, shaking off Syce Knight in the straight and Nautical's good finishing run in the last furlong. Erasmus, after striking heaps

of trouble, boldly dashed up to the leader at the top of the straight, but petered out. Syce Knight rau well, but weakened considerably in the last sixty yards. The Telegraph says that Salitros at no stage looked like, being beaten. He went tq the front at the bridge, and galloped .great, guns when the straight was entered,. winning on the bit by three lengths.

'The Telegraph's special representative says the race was one of the roughest on record. Several horses, notably Erasmus, experienced a bad time. There was mueh bustling for "positions before the first turn was reached, and round the corner Salitros was sorely crowded, inducing Connell to fall back almost to last. 'A furlong later there was a lot of roughing, apparently accidental, sufficient to throw several horses out of their strides, Connell shot. Salitros to the front at the baek of the course, where he remained to the end of the journey. POVERTY BAY HUNT. CONCLUDING- BESULTS. GISBORNE, This Day.
