NOTES ON THE RACES.
Melbourne;, this day.
Grave comment is being made on the action of tho stewards dismissing Mr Clark's protest against Mischief in the Spring Handicap, it being palpable that Pearson struck Reconstruction several times over tho head in tho sbraighb, the colb's nostrils bearing distincb marks after tho race. The " Ago" maintains there was no necessity for a prolonged inquiry, and still less for the decision arrived ab, in facb bhe decision was a distincb injustice to the owner of Reconstruction.
Coming down bo the home turn in the Veterans' Stake, Rcyal Master, The Trier, Havoc and Cbesterman fell. The firstnamed broke his shoulder, and had to be 91! destroyed. Quiver 9st, and Presbon Bsb 111b ran a dead heab for second place in the race. Palo Alto, bhe winner, carried 7sb 51b, and j started at 10 to 1. Sixteen started and bho disbance was covered in 2min 37Jsec. j
