-(Speciai to Pbesß Association) Meibottbne, November 1. There was a very large attendance at Tattersall's last.night, and the ring ap- ; petred in mnch better spirits than they •,; ..have been in'gince tbe Derby was run. '"*' v /The tictorj of Assyrian saved ;fhem Tery . bad books, on the double, na Navigator had been taken very largo by tbo public in doubles with^naost of the Cap favorites. The starting price of Assyrian was 100 to 5. The colt is owned by Mr Allison, of Adelaide, a theatrical agent, and Mr Barn,field, an Adelaide bookmaker." They win £8000 by his victory. Mr Jones.'a stock.broker oFßallarat. becked Assyrian to •win for £2000, and Messrs Allen and : Joseph of "Melbourne each laid him in a double with Navigator for £1000. There tare'tfd Very large winners among«t the, ring, and, taking the meeting throughout, the';pubjic have bad the best of the betting, the ring being hit in eleven out of ■twelve eveuts. The.puhlic were grieviously i disappointed about the performances of j Sweet, William, Little Jack, . Mistaken, and "Sting, all of whom were held in very heavy doubles with Navigator, and appeared so good that very little was laid off in doubles Hnder £1000. They were also extensively held, .but most of the money was-Jaid 'off by- the* small investors as got one leg in. Nothing has transpired- as to the dividends in the totcluMtotybnfc they must have been large ; nor baa any announcement been made as tat^ where the prizes in the big consultstioisbave gone. '.
