The " Australasian" thus refers to Martini-Henry's victory:—"Loud, long, and continued was tho cheering that greeted the double victory of Martini-Henry, and it was repeated after Williamson had weighed in all right. Congratulations were showered upon owner, trainer, and jockey alike, and since the days that Mr John Tait led in his public favourites, thero has been no more popular victory at Flcmington. Ait great colt, an upright owner, and a straightforward trainer had won, and theso were sufficient for the Victorian public, who approve of honourabloconduct on the turf, and are ever ready to show their appreciation thereof by hearty demonstrations of delight at the success of a sportsman—a totally different individual, be it understood, to 'a sporting-man.'"
