BANDWICK SPRING MEETING. KILBOT WINS THE DEBBf. (Australian and X:z. Cable Association.) SYDNEY, October 3. After having to make two postponements of the inaugural day's sport in connection with their Spring Meeting owing to wet weather, the Australian Jockey Clnb "were enabled to bring oft the : same at Randwick this kftern'oon. The weather was fine, but the face track was, of course, heavy. The New Zealand mare Kooya was made favourite for the Hurdle Race, but she had to strike her colours to the top-weight, Jack Rice. The field for the Derby numbered 16. the New Zealand colt Kilboy being elevated to the position of favourite.. In the early stages of the contest Kilboy was whipping in the field; but when the last half-mile came to be undertaken the favourite went up with his challenge, and, disposing of the opposition, ran home an easy winner. The victory of Kilboy was very popular. Polyerates, which was sent out favourite for the Epsom Handicap, put tip a great finish, against an outsider in Panacre, to whom he succumbed.

The ■Spring Stakes brought out a good iield of la, Sasanoff being favourite. The summing up in favour of the New Zealand gelding proved to be well justified, and after being- well placed throughout, he scored by half a length from Bee, which also hails from Maorllahd.

In showing the way the club has advanced during the last ten years, the stakes given for five days' racing, in 1006 were £1415, or £283 per day: the stakes "iven for the lart season's racing amounted to £3670. or £!)17 -10/ per day for four days' racing: showing that the club has advanced with the times. Members would note from the balancesheet that the clnb has had to pay extra war taxation. The committee realise that tne money must be found to do their bit towards winning the war, and arc sure that the action in paying the extra tax without demur meets with the approval of all members. The club has given since the beginning of the war the sum of £706 to patriotic purposes, and m addition to this amount is still giving £10 monthly to the Auckland .Patriotic Fund until the termination of the war. Very rew clubs in NewZealand have risen better to the occasion than the Otahnhu club for patriotic purposes, taking the turnover into consideraThe stewards have made every endeavour to keep the racing as clean as possible, and owners, trainers, drivers, and riders, deserve every credit for the clean and popular sport the club have provided during last se&&on In view of war conditions, .the committee do not deem it advisable to increase the stakes for the forthcoming season.
