RINGMASTER IN ENGLAND.
Mr J. E. Saville's Ringmaster, carrying 7st 21b, and starting favourite at 2 to 1 against him, won the Pontefract Spring Handicap of ssovs. each with 150 added, about 1_ mile, on May 2nd. There were eight other runners, and the Australianbred horse got home easily half a length in front of Partition. This win caused Ringmaster to carry a 51b penalty in the Great Northern Handicap at York, which ho afterwards won. Then he only had 7st 51b. So far as is known, Ringmaster has started four times in England, and has won three races. It is, of course, quite likely thab he has run more frrequently and has been unplaced, for it is only his successes which are forwarded by cable to Australia.
