MANFRED THE GREAT.

WINS CAULFIELD CUPAMID RAPTUROUS ENTHUSIASM. THE BANKER RUNNER-UP. MELBOURNE, October IT. The Victoria Amateur Turf Club's meeting was concluded to-day in line but cloudy weather. Thpr-' was a very large attendance. The Governor-General ef Australia and the members of the Empire Parliamentary Delegation and several visitors from New Zealand were present. As a result of recent rain the race track was a tritfe dead. Tintaroo was always prominent in the Ohy Hurdle Race and won nicely, the time being a record for the race. Querida led round the turn in the Gwyn Nursery Handicap and scon-d smartly. \V. Duncan rode the winner, who was trained by H. <Jah»-iI. The tilly cost 170gs as a yearling. His Honor lost his rider before the start and did not run. Duncan rode I'otentiaie. the winnpr of the race last year. The vr-rerau Liberate was always prominent in the Wytina Steeplechase and scored nicely. He was ridden by his trainer. M. Frazer. Liberate is one of the oldest horses racins. The victory of the favourite Manfred in the C.i til field f'np was greeted with rapturous enthusiasm. Manfred was never further back than sixth and led round the

turn, winning easing up on the post. The hanker had every rhanee. but was no mateb for the winner. Royal Charter looked dangerous ar the turn, and came in a good third. Manfred's victory marked the third occasion on which Mr. B. Chaff«-y has furnished the winner of the Caul-lii-ld Cup during the past five years, Whittier. who scored twice, being the previous winner to score

successes. The time (2.3-} l in this year's I

race is only half a second outside the race rccrd. 1:. Lewis, who steered Manfred, previously ride Shepherd King to victory. Manfred has lnlh penalty for the Mellioume Cup. in which his weight is now lii.l. Manfred was trained at Plemington by H. Mcc'aiman. Lewis stated tiiat Manfred was in a good mood anil save very little trouble. He only cracked the whip twice at his mount and then all was plain sailing. The GovernorGc'neral congratulated Lewis on his success. H. Cairus, the rider of The hanker, said he had a good run all throuch. Ashley Ree.l, on Spearer, stated that his horse went well throughout, but was beaten by better horses. A protest lodzed against Liberate for alleged interference in the steeples was dismissed by the stewards. DETAILS OF THE RACING. ORY HURDLE RACK, of ROOsovs Two miles one furlong and 65yds.
