VICTORIAN NOTES.
LATEST FROM MELBOURNE,
Melbourne, this day.
The Captain (winner of the Spring Handicap) was the first favourite to get home for his backers during the meeting.
Mr S. G. Cook's double success yesterday was well received by the public, although punters feel heavily on Bessie McCarthy in the Oakß. Cook is extremely aorry that White dUpleaaed Gollan through an error of judgment} in riding the Oaks favourite, but feels satisfied now that if the race were run over again the Dauphine would again prove successful, admitting, however, that if White received orders to ensure » sound pace in yesterday's race,1 he was much to blame. The Admiral covered nine furlonea in nice style thia morning, and his owner is confidenb that he will run well to-morrow in the Canterbury Plate, although he is afraid of Loyalty and Carnage. Public feeling is strengthening in favour of legalising the totalisator.
