VICTORIA RACING CLUB.

GAY CIRCLE’S! SUCCESS. TWO MORE WINS FOR VOITRE. r MELBOURNE, November 7. The weather was fine and there was a good attendance' for the third day of the Victoria Racing Club’s spring meeting. Barracker had a comfortable win in the Flying Handicap. The former New Zealand horse, Araunah, finished strongly. Gay Shiela was never dangerous. Beechwood just held off a late challenge from Sir Geraint in the Byron Moore Stakes. _ The latter ran a great race under his penalty. Martinborough was a good third, and Prince Quex ran a promising race. Bold Blood was never dangerous. K. Voitre’s clever waiting tactics were a contributing factor in Valiant Chief’s win in the Linlithgow Stakes. The colt has hitherto been reagrded as a poor stayer, but he won running away. Silver Jubilee had every show. Synagogue leci early, but finished last.

Gay Circle had a comfortable win in the Carnival Handicap. The placed horses all have New Zealand associations. Gay Sheik and Yilderim were prominent early, but did not stay. Gay Circle has had three wins in his last five starts.

Satmoth took charge in the straight in the Veteran Stakes, and won fairly comfortably. MeCarten, the rider, scored his second win in the aftei-noon in this race. ICorero and Limbohm performed poorly. Nalda, who was pocketed at the home turn, finished brilliantly over the last furlongs in the Oaks Stakes, to win narrowly from Bimilla, who was last in the early stages.

THE “DOPING” OF CALIENTE. APP ARENTLY FULLY RECOVERED CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 7. Analysis of the samples of saliva afforded proof that “dope” had been administered to Caliente, the favourite for the New Zealand Cup. The poison was mercuric chloride, a white powder, which could have been put in the horse’s feed. The mare was in bright order this morning, and apparently fully recovered. She was galloped five furlongs. It is not yet certain whether her engagement in the Cup will be cancelled. She will be given easy work to-morrow, and a decision will then be made.

An Auckland exchange announces the death at Wailiou of Mrs Sarah Ann Lennard, who had reached her eighty-third year. She was among the very earliest lady owners to race

horses in the Dominion, nearly all of them of her own breeding. Among her chief successes were the Great Northern Derby of 1896 with Fabulist, and the Auckland Cup of 1910 with Waimangu, and that of 1911 with Santa Rosa. All three were in her ownership at the time of those successes, though the first and last-named iran later in other colours. Of all the deceased lady’s horses her favourite was the bonny mare Vieux Rose, whose descendants are even now being raced by one of Mrs Lennard’s sons.
