AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB'S AUTUMN MEETING.

HARPIST WINS A.3.C. PLATE. ißy Cable.—Press Association. —Copyrights SYDNEY. March 29. The Australian Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting was brought to a conclusion at Kandwick to-day in bright, cool weather. This was the stayers' day, no race (except that for two-year-olds) being under a mile and a-quarter. Ilnrios had the best credentials as a stayer of the lot saddled up to contest the Uouse Handicap, which event was limited to the three-year-old division, and he was a firm favourite. Tartanus had a lead of eight lengths at the live-furlong post, but Barios caught him at the distance, and won easily at the finish.

Jacamar. who is going to India, was made a strong favourite for the I'lace Handicap, but failed to repeat his good fiallops of the first two days, and only got fourth. Hallowmas finished well, and heat the unlucky I.ochnno for the leading place.

Both steeplechases wore failures from the standpoint of tbe number of starters. Only four horses contested Monday's race, and two to-day. The Miser fell a mile from the post, leaving the New Zealand gelding Sir L-ethe to canter home al ne.

Piastre's absence from tne A.J.C. Plate was due to his off foreleg being troublesome. A long spell will perhaps be necessary for the Melbourne Cup winner. Cadonia's usual pilot. McDonald, not having recovered from his sensational Cup ride, Lambert, who has figured well in long rares. had the mi.'int on the Cup winner. Cadonia galloped kindly for two miles. Theo, despite hard riding, he dropped back. He came again, but was unable to wipe off the deficiency, nnd Harpist, who was well ridden by McLachlan, scored.

The Nursery Handicap saw Malbrook, when showing a bold front in the straight, break a fetlock.

The following are the details of the racing:—
