AUSTRALIANS AND THE ENGLISH TURF.

"Referring to Ringmaster's running since^ he has been in England, the London, pones-" 1 , pondent of the Melbourne il Leader " makes the following interesting rental ks anent tho chancc&> of Australian hordes on Eng- 1 lish racecourses :: — '•' PJense mark me, thntv I am quite awaro that all imports from Australia here may not-fnro so well as has Mr Savilie's. Similarly, I admit that ho may have made great improvement. Also that he might have come on quite as much if he stopped in Au&tralia. All the same, I beg to state that, assuming Ringmaster's merits to be relatively the same as they were to your front rank horses, the gamoiies at ■ your feet. The English turf'is a gold mine to be worked at will by any of my colonial friends who care to iace the risks* of » long *ea voyage for tho> be&b/ ot ' their stock. While the limit between top and bottom weight stands as ib docs now, our handicappers cannot weight-your goods out of the distanced laces. All you have to do •is to play a plucky hand, and a perfect revolution will be worked on our turf. •Ringmaster is too small to please our bresders, who aie perhaps wise in wanting 'sires with size, but it he were another hand hikh'er he 1 would be worth £4,000 a year at 1 •the stud. Our people would be mad for the Australian cioss, to get stoutness. Mr Saville has opened a mo3t lucrativo industry for your horse owners — you cannot ?ay that I h.ave not given yon the tip to tollow his lead. By tho "way, Mr White's horses are now out on Newmarket Heath regularly each day.''
