BIPLANE'S PERFORMANCE. . Sydney, Sept. 30. Biplane's time for the Derby has only been beaten by Noctuiform's record in 1895.

The attendance was estimated at 40,000. The weather is fine to-day. SCRATCHING FOR N.Z. CUP. Christchurch, Oct. 1. The Toff was scratched for the New Zealand Cup at 10.15 a.m. WELLINGTON RACING CLUB.
