Jt must bare been somewhat of a disappointment to many who attended the Wellington meeting on Thursday, whon they found Mr Stead had withdr&vn leolt from the Challenge Stakes. It ]«w been often stated that the people who attend race meetings go merely fqr gambling purposes, but there are still many true sports who would travel a long distance to witness a contest between two champions such as Isoltand Achilles. Ido not know yet wLy Mr Stead withdrew the Mly, for sure'y the r&cd could not have affected her ckance in the Bt. Leger to-day, when it ap- . 'pears she only has to start to win, for there is really nothing against her. Is it that her owner thought the Multiiorin filly's unbroken record minht be troken by the old favourite ?
