ONKAPARINGA.

THE 'GREAT EASTERN.

WON-BY POSTER. ,

Oakbank, 1905, will long be rememberec by racegoers. Rain, wind, and mud pre dominaced. The wettest day in the 3¿ years' history of the club-all the old hand; declared. They, could not recall a more disastrous pr more uncomfortable one. Foi years the croakers have been crying, "th< day will come." By that they meant a wei one, and they prophesied all sort of evik Well, the club got the rain on Monday and it must be ¡=aid that the plucky little hills body came through the ordeal mucl) better than many people imagined. At noon it looked as if the gathering ran into 10,000 people,' but, of course, only the mxn who bought the gates could give anything like a correct idea as to the number thai attended. Mr. J. Curtis said he wai by no means depressed.. On the contraryj he stated that his "specula tion had turned out better than he had' an ticipated when he saw that the cldb was, ir for a wet day. His returns were not com plete, hut, judging by the tram traffic, he estimated that the. number of people on the ground was 14.000.

Rain set in on Sunday. By 10 o'clocl; that night the downpour seemed to be nearly over. Towards midnight, how ever, heavy showers succeeded one another, and by dawn all hopes of anything ' ap- proaching a fine day were gone. There was a break in the city at about 2.30, but it" rained from the city to Oakbank, and. what was more trying, showers came dowt all day long on the course. At times it drizzled, and then would follow a smart shower. No need to try -to picture the state of the ground. Mud and slush ruled everywhere. Viewing racing under such meteorological conditions as prevailed on Monday could not/be other than-^unplea- sant. Yet, it must be confessed, the crowd seemed to accept che situation with good humor. Out on the flat where there "was no shelter the spectators stood to their posts the long day. And more, they cheer-

ed the winners with all the old-time enthu- siasm of an Onkaparinga crowd, and the Adelaide City Band did what it could to enliven the long waits by spirited music. The rain, it may be said, did not aPPear to affect the racing. On the contrary, Hie Great Eastern, the big event of the day,

was a marked success.

Candidly Mr. von Doussa stated that the club would lose money over the meeting, "but," added the cheerful secretary, "this rebuff will not knock the club out." At this meeting the Great Eastern Steeplechase stake was to have been raised to 2,000 sovs. But shortly after the scheme was suggested the totalizator returns of South Australian racing clubs began to fall off, and early Mr. von Doussa saw that the project had to be abandoned. The truth of the adage about an ill-wind comes in here. Natur- ally, with such an inclement day as Mon- day, the totalizator takings suffered, and it is here that the club.lost a lot of money. Hundreds of people would, not face the rain and the mud to back a horse,' but pre- ferred to remain where they could get shelter. The club entertained a large number of people at luncheon, including many inter-State visitors. Mr. W. G. Johnston presided. The table attached tells its own story. It shows the invest- ments for a period of seven years:

A heavy shower of rain came on when the horses for the Hurdle, the opening event of the day, go.t on ¿o the course. The

bulk of the riders came out with coats on,

sp that with their jackets hidden the pub- lic could not distinguish many of the run- ners. The preliminary gallops soon showed the effect the rain had had on the go^ng, but naturally it was heavier in the straight than in any other part. Herd Laddie was the only withdrawal, C. Quinn taking him out after the rain came, as he did not care to risk the gelding on a wet course- Or- lando of course ruled the quotations, but seeing the weather it was a good betting event, as Kebbuck, The Wizard, and one or two others were in the market. It speaks well for the punctual way the proceedings are opened at Oakbank when it is stated 'that fave minutes after the time appointed the Hurdle was being çun. As of old, they started behind the hill, *and the first hurdle on the far side of the ground was shifted out a little further this year, so that the public could get a view of the jump. When they came into sight, Tres Chic wasleading, but Moss Deer and Generality were there. Orlando was well back, and Trent half a furlong away. Tres Chic made an at- tempt to slip away coming down the hill, but Moss Deer quickly headed her, and went out of view attended by The Wizard The latter was bowling along m front, with Aristos next, and then Orlando could be seen working to the front. In a second The Wizard was out of court, the South-Eaet ern candidate pecking and losing his rider, and Aristos went on with Orlando hot foot

in pursuit. Moss Deer was next, going well, but she lost ground at one of the obstacles. Over the closing hurdle Orlando joined Aristos, and the pair jumped together. It was an interesting finish, but Aristos gra

_-*

dually drew clear, and had a length to spar nt the end. Backers, however, could no draw their money from the machine with out undergoing the ordeal of a protest. Th< , rider of Orlando lodged a complaint wit] ' the stewards that along the straight Whe

lan, who was on Aristos, struck with hi whip the Victorian horse over the nose and then hit Halstead. Three or four wit nesses were called in corroboration of th alleged striking. The stewards, however did not take long to dome to the decisioi to dismiss the objection., and no doubt ii doing so they were guided hy what the: themselves saw of the finish of. the face- "

A poor field did duty in.the Trial Staker five going to the'post. " Of. course, odd had to be laid on that nice filly Destine Matthews rode the,, latter a careful race He jumped her out, and when they cann into ">yiew she was striding along comfort ably, with Matthews hanging on to he head." He steadied her going down thi rise and making the home bend, tactic

which allowed Shell Storm to draw close'.' Destine, however, made the turn close in and striding along was not bothered, bui won softly.

Rain was still coming down steadily whei the Oakbank Cup horses gpt on to tin straight to do their preliminaries. Then was a lot of money for the home candi date, Memento, but Tisiphone ruled th' quotations. Then came Bright Pilgrim while the surprise of the Avagering was thi money that went on Bandolier. No doub this was partially due to the fact that t good horseman in^R. " Trewartha, fron Perth, was on his back. It was a capita betting event, the machine taking £2 331 10/. The race, however/ is one that calli for little descriptions They- started at the top of the straight, and as they went pas' the stand Resolve had command from Tisi phone. That was the order in which thej went round the hill, and when the pubk< again got a view of the field Tisiphone wai out in front with a useful lead. Mementi was pursuing the Victorian, who strodt down the hill and around the home bend landing in the straight with a good ad vantage. All interest in the Cup was now over save to the supporters of Tisiphone as it was apparent that Memento could no1 make up the leeway. Tisiphone always held Memento, the balance of the_ field be ing strung out, save Bright Pilgrim, wlic ended up third. Tisiphone is trained bj H. A. Bellamy, who, despite the failure oJ Orlando in the Hurdle, had a good day Bellamy stated that he intended leavinj Balhannah to-day on the return journey foi Melbourne with"his horses.

The Great Eastern Steeplechase was a capital race-up to the best Oakbank stan dard-and that is saying a good deal. There were 13 on the card, and riders were weighed out for them all. Cardinal, ^whc carried M. Mooney, was, as was generallj supposed would be the case, made favorite, For a long time Poster looked as- if he would oust Mr. S. Miller's horse, but at the close of the machine wagering the figures read Cardinal £665, Poster £571. Owing, of course, to the stormy weather, a look over the candidates was out of the question, and but few people saw the horses until they got into the straight. They were, on the whole, a good-lookihg lo^, "and with Lamond, Cardinal, Poster, Drummer, Cronje, to represent Victoria, it seemed reasonably certain that the rich stake would go out of the State. Great Easterns are not infrequently associated with numerous -falls, but on the present occasion the public saw what they liked with but few disasters. This may be taken as an indication that, although wet,, the ground was not* treacherous.

The opening fence, the one on the hill, takes jumping, and it brought Cronje to grief. Evidently 'Mr. Ferry had given his horseman, Spooner, forcing orders, as he went over the hill with Idalia, Lamond be. ing the South Australian mare's com- panion. Cardinal and Poster w.ere both in good positions, and with a sound pace on it thus early looked that Idalia and Isis were the only two of the home lot likely to make a fight -\\ ith the visitors. Idalia and Lamond, both fencing well, came past the stand first, after completing the opening round. They were out from the others, but Gardinal, Poster, Isis, Drummer, were all in the- race. As they began the final circuit the race grew interesting. The two pace-makers, Idalia and Lamond, went up the rise firsc, well clear of Isis, Poster/Car-

dinal, and Drummer. One or two Great I Easterns have been won by the rider who 'takes his horse fast to the hedge after cross- ing the stone wall, and then going* up the far hill.. It looked as if Allan intended to adopt this plan again with Drummer, as he drove his mount close up to Idalia and Lamond but the hedge put Mr. Lem priere's horse out of, court.

That this race would not be won by one horse rushing up the hill was soon seen, as Idalia and Lamond went up the rise to- gether, closely attended by Cardinal, Poster, and Isis-five of them well together. Mooney thought the time had now come to go out for a lead With Cardinal, and he held com- mand taking the fence on the hill. Cardi- nal, however, Beemed to hit, as he at once gave way to Poster, who had headed La mond and Idalia."^ At the hedge Poster

was commanding, and, as it proved, the race was over, for he weet down the slope leading to the course proper with a useful advantage. Safely crossing the final ob- stacle-the pyramid of logs-Porter came on. Mooney drew the whip to Cardinal, but only enabled the grey to keep Lamond at bay. " It was a fine display of fencing, and while the winner carne in for cheers, some of ÜX3 crowd did not forget Lamond's gallant race with 12 st. 9 lb. After the placed, three from Victoria came the two South Australians, Isis and Idalia, and both ran a sterling race. The winner is owned by Mr. A. J. Staughton, a member of the polo team now visiting Adelaide. Poster is a good type of cross-country horse, and he is trained by H. A. Bellamy, of Caulfield, who was paying his fourth visit to Oak- bank. Formerly he trained for the Messrs, Miller, a stable that has yet to -win the Great Eastern. It need hardly be said that- the ringmen who had books ou the jumping double were struck, and one Ade- laide man won £1,000 by the success of .Aristos and Poster. ^

With two Victorian successes »closely fol- lowing it was generally concluded that Flo- rist would go to the head of the quotations in the Hills Railway Stakes. The black mare from Melbourne was in strong demand, £700 going on her, while the home candi- date, His Eminence, ranked next in the ma- chine. When they began The Bayonet soon strode to the front, and he came down the slope so freely that it looked for a moment that he would not be caught. Corning to the turn, however, His Eminence flattered his supporters by dashing up "to the leader. Next followed Florist and Al Kadr. His Eminence quickly lost his place, as on the home bend he ran out wide. Anderson got the bend nicely with Al Kadr and set out for home, and at the end won nicely from First Fleece, while Florist failed to take a place. Thirteen were down to run in the Amateur Steeplechase, but Acety- lene, Cronje, Slanderer, Geda, and Swivel all declined the'contest. Tancred in the opinion of backers was entitled to most support. It was a spirited sort of af- fair.* Bushman was ridden by T. Har- ris, whose ancestors were here before Cap- tain Cook Landed in Australia. Someone asked Mr. von Doussa how Bushman's pilot came to be riding as an amateur. The sec- retary replied that the Onkaparinga club never bothered about the question of a white Australia. Bushman's rider was a sportsman, and that was all they wanted,

I The last-named gelding made the pace a

cracker for the opening round, and the crowd did not omit to cheer his rider. The latter, however, seemed to think that the race was over with the completion of the opening round, as he eased his mount-npon getting to the post. The riders of The Bake and Sterling ranged up alongside and chatted to Bushman's pilot, and in a trice the latter shot off up the hill again, and crossing the stone wall looked like

clearing out. Sterling fell, and The Bake, who ran in the nomination of the secretary of the club, went after the runaway,, caught, and beat him. The victory of Mr- von Doussa's horse was popular," but the sym- pathies of the crowd were to a great extr-nt with the man on Bushman, who rode a dashing race. The long day came to an end with the Disposal Stakes, and as the event looked to be at the mercy of Prospero he was made a warm favorite, the sum of £329 10/ going on the big gelding out of a total of £760 10/ invested on the race. Prospero was quick to begin, Jbufc gave his backers' a shock a moment later'by losing his place to The Gorge. «Along the straight The Gorge seemed to have the race safely in hand, but The Abyss caught and beat him on the

post. IVtails:

The start took place behind the hill, and when they came into sight Tres Chic was in charge from Generality and Moss Deer, with Goldstud lastoi the bunch, and Trent half a furlong, away. The first obstacle was taken in that order, and as they raced up the hill Tres Chic was showing the way to Moss Deer, Orlando. Kebbuck, and Black Spider, with Goldstud last of this lot, and Trent in the

rear. There was no change at the next, and the first obstacle in the straight was taken by Tres Chic from The Wizard, Moss Deer, Generality, Aristos, and Kebbuck, with Orlando and Goldstud next, and Trent tilled off. Taking the next jump in front of the stand Moss Deer was on terms with Tres Chic, and the pair piloted The Wizardj Black Spider, Aristos, Kebbuck, Legend, and Generality, and as they took the hurdle going out of sight Moss Deer was a couple of lengths ahead of Tres Chic, and then the sams distance away followed The Wizard and Generality, while Trent, who ,_was laboring in the rear, ran off. When they carne into view airain The Wizard had commanetfrom Moss Deer and Aristos, with Black Spider; Orlando, Kebbuck. Golden Prior, and Goldstud following as named. The Wizard carne to grief at the next, and Aristos went on from Golden Prior and Moss,Deer, with Orlando going well on their heels. As they rounded the turn Aristos was pursued by Orlando, Black Spider, Moss Deer, Golden Prior, and Gold- stud. They entered -the straight in the Same or- der, and negotiating the last fence Aristos was a length in advance of Orlando, Moss Deer, and Goldstud. In the Tace home Aristos held his own, and beat the ex-Tasmanian Orlando ^by a length. Moss Deer was third, a length and a quarter away. Golden Prior was fourth, Goldstud fifth. Black Spider sixth, 'Kebbuck seventh, Tres. Chic eighth, Legend ninth, and Generality, who was pulled np at the final fence, last.

The start took place in front of the stand, and as they went past the press box, after having been sent away to a good start, Isis was in charge from Cardinal, Idalia, Mulcra, Cronje, and. La- mond, the last, two being Simple Joe and Sword Ash. Taking the opening jump which was on the hill going out of the straight, Cardinal piloted Idalia. Lamond, Labor, Mulcra, and Drummer, while Simple Joe acted as whipper in and Cronje came to grief. Cardinal was still in charge at the wall, the grey leading Idalia, Lamond, Isis, Labor, Albury King, and Mulcra, with Holder and Simple Joe still in the rear.

At the jump at the road Lamond and Idalia were on terms, and the pair raced on ahead of Cardinal, Drummer, Albury King, Isis, and Labor. Negotiating the fence at the hedge Idalia and Lamond were still in command, and leading down the straight this pair were still in advance of Isi«, Cardinal, Drummer, Poster, Albury lung, Mulcra, and Labor, who were about 50 yards awav, while Holder and Simple Joe brought up the rear. The jump on the hill going out of the straight was taken by Idalia and Lamond from Cardinal, Poster, Drummer, Isis, Mulcra, Albury King, Labor (who struck heavily), and Swordfish. There was practically no change at the wall, and the same positions were observed at the hedge, but at the fallen tree Idalia was out a length from Lamond, the pair being five or six lengths out from Cardinal.-Crummer. Poster, Isis, Mulcra, Alburv King, Swordfish, Labor, and Simple Joe, with Holder a long way off last. At the road there was no alteration, -dalia and Lamond led on to the jump at the top of the straight, where thev were half a dozen lengths in advance of Pos'ter, Cardinal. Albury King, Swordfish, Mulcra, and Isis, while Holder came to grief. Beginning

the last round Idalia and Lamond were three or four lengths clear of Isis, who waa closely at- tended by Poster, Cardinal, and Drummer. At the stone wall the leading pair were just clear of Drummer (who was going up fast), Cardinal, Poster, Isis, and Mulcra. Drummer fell at the hedge, and Idalia and Lamond went on up the rise from Cardinal, Poster, and Isis, with Mulcra and Swordfish following some distance away. At the jump near the road the leaders were joined by Cardinal, Poster, and Isis, and they jumped 30 lengths in advance of Swordfish and Mulcra, both of whom fell. Poster assumed command at the hedge from Cardinal, Lamond, Isis, and Idalia. Poster led over the last fence by three or four lengthg frorrf Cardinal, Lamond, Isis, and Idalia, who followed at intervals. Poster held his own at tlie finish, and beat Cardinal, who came with a fast run, by a length. Lamond was third six lengths away. Isis was half a dozen lengths off fourth, Idalia another dozen lengths away fifth, Simple Joe sixth, Labor seventh, and Albury King

last.

AJ.C. AUTUMN MEETING. '

SYDNEY-CUP WON BY TAMAN.

A RECORD ESTABLISHED. '

Sydney, April 24.

The A.J.C. were again favored with magnificent weather to-day for the second day of the meeting, and the attendance, despite the strong counter attractions of the show, was very large, Mr. Clibborn being of opinion that it was quite 4,000 or 5,000 larger than that on the corresponding day1 last Easter, when it was computed that over ,26,000 people saw Lord Cardigan win the Cup of 1904. The additional accom- modation provided in the official stand was taxed to the utmost, and the improvements were much appreciated by the immense gathering. Vice-royalty, which was absent on Saturday, was well represented to-day, and the contingent from Victoria received a large addition to its already formidable membership. As was the case on Satur- day, backers fared very badly in their at- tempts to pick winners, only two favorites triumphing during the day, and these did not turn up until the last two races.

'The sport was inaugurated with the Fly- ing Stakes, for which, on the strength of his bold showing in the Doncaster Handi

cap, Ibex was elected favorite among the 26 runners. Berthier was nuxt in request, and despite his burden of li) st. 2 lb. the Victorian horse Regio wit, well backed at 8 to 1. Ibex once more Tailed at the critir cal moment after shoving a bold front nearly to the distance, where Regio made a forward move, bul Hollette, who made nearly dil the running, won comfortably from the top we,<_ßt and the consistent Abington

Of the 14 starters in the Maiden Plate allowances of 5 lb- were claimed by no fewer than seven owners, who PUD up ap- prentices, and the value of the concession was shown by the fact that the first and second claimed the 5 lb. Scot Free, the win- ner, is a full three-year-old brother to Great Scot, the Australian Viceroy's Cup winner, by Lochiel, from Scotch Mary, and has not been much raced. He is the pro- perty of che Victorian sportsman, Mr. Agar Wynne, who was not present to'see his colt win. The Keeper, the favorite, is a handsome chesnuc, by Jeweller, from Patr'onage, but he began too slowly to have a chance, though he was running on at the

finish.

Nine out of the twelve on the card came

out for the richly-endowed Champagne Stakes and Istria, a smart-looking filly, by Haut Brion, was 'most in request, with the Wallace- filly, Lady 'Wallace, next. About Charles Stuart and Binnia 5 to 1 was on offer, but 20 to 1 went begging about North,Head and Scotland. The race eventuated in a striking example of re- versal of form, for after Istria had held command to the distance, Charles Stuart came to the front, and won comfortably 'in the exceedingly good time of 1 min. 14 sec. The Messrs. Clarke's colt evidently needed Saturday's gallop to brighten him up, as with 10 lb. more than he carried in the Sires' ^Produce Stakes he ran the. six furlongs in three-quarters of a second' fas- ter, time than it was won m on Saturday. In explanation of this contradiction in the cole's two separate performances, it is said that in the Sires' Produce Stakes he was nearly over the rails at the turn, and that Ross had to take a pull at him at this critical stage of the race. Istria failed in the last furlong, and Binnia found the pace altogether too much for him. Danfczig was up with the placed horses at the finish, but Scotland was never dangerous.

Lord Fitzroy and Billingsgate were the course v. itlfdrawals from the Cup, for which the exceedingly gratifying field of 28 faced Mr. MacKellar. Right up to bar- rier-rise the Flemington'-trained colt, Divi- dend, held his place at the head of the quo- tations, and the money came for him so steadily that he shortened to 7 to. 2. Emir, who at the calling of the card was 100 to 13, lengthened to 10 to 1, and Lo'-d Ullin's

Daughter also underwent an Irishman rise. There waa a lot of money for Ta. tan at 100 to ,7, and Long Tom was the m< dium of some heavy wagering, but Cherso was comparatively neglected by backer, who were offered 50 to 1, and much suppoi was accorded Tatterdemalion. Mr. Ma Kellar had the 28 quickly range at the barrier, and with very . li tie delay sent them off to an even star in which Emir, Green Mountain, and Koi pan were the most prominent. When fan ly goingo the colors of Famous were disceri ed m the van, and/ he retained his lead fe the first mile, with Gherson, Panama, Rat burn, Dividend, Lower, Mack, and Marv« Loch as his nearest attendants. Passin, the milepost Cherson shot out with a sis lengths lead, which he increased to eigh lengths six furlongs from home. Famou continued at the head of the others unti rounding the turn, where he was displace' by Emir, while Dividend was showing pre mihently on the outside about fourth, ani Tatterdemalion and Tartan were threadin their way to the front. Cherson show» the way into the straight, with Tatterdema lion, Emir, Tartan, Long Tom, and Raebur: on his heels. Just below the distance TaJ terdemalion headed Cherson, and just as hi victory was being shouted from, a thousani throats Rogers brought Tartan along wit. an irresistible run, and literally caught Tal terdemalion upon the post and beat hii by a short head, with Cherson nearly thre lengths away third. The time, 3 mfn. 2 see., constitutes not only a record for th race, but a record for Australasia for tw

miles.

The Steeplechase attracted nine of the 1 entrants, including the New Zealand exact Up7to-Date. and the .Victorian, Marjorie and while the former quite upheld his grea reputation and~won easily, Marjorie ran ol at the first fence, and Mr. Gillespie did no persevere with her. The race affordec as the steeplechases at Randwick usuall; do, a very pretty spectacle," the field bein, well within view all the journey. Bardenoi made nearly all the running until he cairn to grief opposite O^enham's, leaving Sky lark and Young Creswick together in th .lead, with, Up-to-Date lying handy. Hal a mile from home Up-to-Date took com mand, and coming on full of running tht Maoruander effected an easy victory, hi nearest attend ants being Skyward and Youni Creswick, on whom the Victorian cross country rider, M. Glennon, had the mount

Istria turned into the straight two lengths from Scotland, but Charles Stuart had drawn up to the hitter's girths, and tolimnie diate attendance on them were Lady Wallace and Dantzic. When finally on the road for home Istria still in charge looked all over a winner, but at the distance Charles Stuart made his effort, and drew level with Istria, while Lady Wallace, on the rails, began to threaten danger. From that point the leading pair set down to a determined hand io-hand engagement, but Charles Stuart always had a bit the best of the Sydney filly, and beat her cleverly by a long bead. -.Lady Wallace finished third " a length and a half away, with Dantzic fourth.

Emir, who had played up at the post» was the first to break the line, but as soon as they settled down Famous was in charge, an.d he led round the turn and into the straight, attended closely by Marvel Loch; Saida, Emir, Panama, Raeburn, Cherson, and Mack, and at once the pace was vcrv solid. Passing the stand Cherson ranged -up alorgside Famous, and, they passed'the judge to^ getlier, h length from Panama, Saida, and Rae- burn, who were followed by Dividend,, Nin- yas, and Cato, and there Blue Soec, Ossian, Acrasia, and Green Mountain were in the rear. Much the same order waa main- tained out of the straight, but approaching Oxen hanr*s, Cherson drew out from Famous,' and going at a great pace soon established a six lengths' ]f»ad -with which he went alona the far side. There

Panama and Famous divided second place, just n front of Marvel Loch, Raeburne, Salda, "Emir,1 an< Dividend, the next lot'being composed of Mack Tatterdemalion, and St. Modan, and at that stag. Green Mountain and Fanshawe were last. Cher son maintained his lead past the six furlongs' post but opposite Kensington Raeburn, Panama, anc Emir reduced it to two lengths, and Dividend anc Tatterdemalion were showing prominently at thf head of the others; but Cherson was not dont with, and sailing away again made play for th< home turn, three lengths from a batch, at th< head of which were Emir, Raeburn, Tatterdema lion, and. Dividend, Tartan following, only a lengtl away. Pretty well this order saw them round th< turn, and as Cherson landed in the straight he. hat a two lengths' lead of Tatterdemalion, who wai barely clean, of Raeburn, Tartan, and Ossianv S< they ran for half a furlong, when Tatterdemalioi closed on Cherson, and together they "battled "pasi the distance post, with Tartan finishing fast onlj a length away. Then Cherson shot his bolt, a~( Tartan -wearing Tatterdemalion, beat him by ¡ head, while Cherson was two and a half length, farter away.- Raeburn waa'fourth, with.

' LAURA, MEETING.

Laura, April 24.

What promised to be the record meeting of the Laura -Jockey Club to-day was spoiled by rain. The downpour, which set in on Sunday morning, continued aU that day, and to-day it again rained incessantly. The special trains, which are usually crowded, brought but few, passengers to Laura, and the attendance fell far short of that of last year, when £2,241 passed through .the machine, as against £972 5/ to-day. Although thcraii^ glatiaens the hearts of the agriculturists ic brought no joy to racing men, and before the end of the day the course was little better "than a quagmire, and as there was no shelter of any description patrons had a bad time. The racing opened with the Hurdle Race, for which List nagbar was installed favorite. Going alone: the back Listnaghar was in front with Silverman, but the latter, although he pecked at the jump thr^c furlongs from home, came on and won easily. The track was very heavy and holding, and it took 4 min. 35 sec. to run the two miles. * Briton, a-son of the Newmarket Handicap winner, Cranbrook, who is a smart country sprinter, smashed up the field in the Flying Handicap, and won in hollow fashion from Gigolette. Grenville, who revelled in the heavy going, accounted for the Trial Stakes. The Laura Handicap was -regarded as a match (be- tween Fairyland and-Bronze, but the latter carried mo.-e money, whilst there "was little between Fairyland and The Christian. The Christian was responsible for the early pace, but along the f.ar side Brock took Bronze to the front, whilst Faiiy land, who got off badly, was last With three furlongs to go Fairyland made a forward move, and at the end of another furlong had run through, the field and was on' terms with Bronze. ' She, however, died out in the run home, and Bronze beat her comfortably at the close, whilst Pretender who is a brother to Pandora, who used to race for Mr. Ferry, filled third place. Briton put up a 16-lb. penalty in the Beetaloo Handicap, «and. again won in hollow fashion. Colonial Boy, "wno took the Hack Race, was the outsider^ of the party, and he paid £3 8/6 for 5/, and, nicelv rid- den by Clements, beat another long-priced one in Merlin. By an oversight Alabama's nnmbsr was omitted from the totalizator on the Booyoolie Stakes, as the secretary was under the impression that she had been scratched. Whenrthe error vns discovered, however, she was strongly supported and was backed down to even mosey. Alabama did not reach Laura till late in" the afternoon, but she won nicely, after leading from the start. At the distance Pretender threatened danger, and got his head in front, but when Clements, who had stopped riding, shook up the favorite, .she carne again, and won easily by a length. She is a nicely-moulded mare/by Port Admiral from Princess, and was bred at Fulham Park. She is evidently smart, as she took the Jamestown Han- dicap recently, in which-fihe beat Fairyland. De- tective Marlin had a comparatively light day, al- though he arrested a man who was wanted in Adelaide on a warrant. Details:

SOUTH AUSTRALIA VERSUS

WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

The second match between South Aus- tralia and Western Australia was played on the Adelaide Oval on Monday afternoon. During the night and morning heavy rain fell, but m the afternoon the atmos- phere was clear, and the play was unin- terrupted by the elements. The unpro pitious aspect of the weather, however, no doubt militated agam&t a good attendance. The heavy ground benefited by the soak- ing it got, for it was springy, and did not inconvenience the player» The teams

were:

South Australia-Poole, Noble, Dobbie, Halford, Patterson, Wylde, Lawes, Haw ,ker, MeColl Salmon, and Durward

1 Western Australia-Evans, H. Pearce, P. Pearce. Hodgers, Howard, Snowball, Wat- son, Thompson, Bower, Stephen, and

Cowan

The game throughoub was more interest- ing than on the occasion of the hrst match on Saturday. There was greater vim m the play, the contest was more even, and the exhibition of ''soccer" was more enjovable. At half time the local players were cou siderably in the ascendant, but after the interval the visitors asserted themselves, and having the best of the play pressed the blues pretty hard The display on both sides was excellent, the fast passing on of the Souths being equally as creditable as the fine defensive play of the Swan River men. Dobbie again proved himself a clever goalkicker, notching three out of four m the nret half, MeColl scoring the other one. Thompson was responsible for the first goal of the day to the Westerners, and after the recess he shared the honors with Wat- son and Snowball for the other goals. Noble contributed1 the winning poiut for this State. The scores were:

First Half.

South Australia, 4 goals

Western Australia, 1 coal.

Second Half

South Australia, 5 goals

Western Australia, 4 goals.
