PHAR LAP BEATEN.

WATERLINE VICTORIOUS.

SENSATION AT FLEMINGTON.

ATJT OFAY'S ASCOT VALE. STAKES. AUSTRALIAN CUP TO CARRY ON. MELBOURNE, March 8. The defeat of Phar Lap t>y another New Zealand-bred horse, Waterline, in the C. M. Lloyd Stakes, created a sensation at Flemington yesterday when the Victoria Racing Club's autumn meeting was concluded In fine weather. The race provided a stirring contest. Waterline looked as if he was beaten at the distance, but finished gamely under punishment, and defeated Phar Lap by a neck. The winner was accorded a wonderful ovation. This was his fifth win in Australia, and "Mr, S, A. Rawdon," who bought him from Sir Charles Clifford last winter for 2000 guineas, now shows a handsome profit -on his investment.

Phar Lap had not been defeated since Amounis defeated him by half a head in the Warwick Stakes, one mile, last August, and in the meantime he had won 14 races. His stake winnings now total £51,662.

The Australian Cup was won by Carry On, who outstayed tlio opposition in good style and won by one and a half lengths from White Nose, with St. Mary two lengths further back third. Glare ran badly and was always near the rear. W. Duncan, who rode Carry On, previously won the cup on Accarak in 1924.

Killarney was responsible for a brilliant performance, defeating Mollison by three-quarters of a length. The New Zealand-bred colt, Autopay, led all the way in the Ascot Vale Stakes and won by two lengths from Starstone. This was Autopay's third success. Golden Arrow headed Brazenface in the Lvt-few strides in the Elms Handicap. He is a son of the dual Caulfield Cup winner Whittier.
