SPORTING NEWS. BOZ WINS THE CAULFIELD CUP.

Melbourne, Oct. 19. Tun concluding day's racing of the V.A.T. C. spring meeting took place to-day at Caullielcl. Beautiful weather was experiened, although the sky was somewhat overcast. ..The course was heavy. The attendance is said to have been the largest ever seen on the course. The victory ol Boz w-is a great surprise, as he was one of the extreme outbide division, his price at the post being 100 to 5. Still his victory was not altogether a windfall for the ling, as the son of Boswoith and Hypatia had been steadily supported binee the weights appeared. The Charmer, who finished second to Boz, ran a rattling good mare, and it appears the irony of fate that Eatnmage, who had just severed his connection with Mr Cook's stable, should ride the horse to pip the lattei"'s candidate at the finish. The following aie the details of the racing :— Cauxfield Cay, a handicap of 2,ooosovs. l,soosovs-of the said sum to go to the first horse, 350sovs to the second, and 150sovs to the third.
