RACING AT RANDWICK.

HALL MARK'S DERBY.

CHATHAM WINS EPSOM. ROGILLA THE SPRING STAKES.

SYDXEY, October 1

In spite of recent heavy rain there was an attendance of 50,000 for the opening of the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meeting at Randwick yesterday. The comfortable victory of the Victorian colt Hall 3lark from the New Zealandcr Deputy Ruler in tho Derby, and the great performance of Chatham in winning the Jipsoni Handicap for tho second year in succession, carrying the steadier of 9.10, vere outstanding features of the racing. Bayacro secured the opening event of the carnival on behalf of Kcw Zealand, winning the First Hurdles in dashing style. Bayacre caused his supporters some anxiety by a display of bad manners at the barrier, but he finally moved off to a good start, and, jumping splendidly throughout, gave nothing else a chance. The Trial Stakes was won by Wicldow, a four-year-old gelding by Silvius, who was second to TYivalvo in the Melbourne Cup in 1927, from Lace Front, the dam of Hold Front, who was raced in Auckland by Mi. F. Earl, K.G. Hall Mark thoroughly vindicated himgelf by his triumph in tho A.J.C. Derby. As a result of his brilliant form as a two-year-old, he was the early favourite, but receded in favour after being defeated by Waltzing Lily and Break Up in the Mcnisie Stakes at Caulficld last month. The Auckland-dfcned colt Deputy Ruler, vigorously ridden by T. Webster, made a bold bid for victory, but had to be content -with second place. The Night Raid colt Blixten, who was a warm favourite, was third. Chatham was a pronounced public fancy for the Epsom Handicap, which he won in the manner of a champion. The noted jockey, J. E. Pike, who also piloted him to victory last year, again had the mount, and on returning to scale both horse and rider received a remarkable ovation. Rogilla, Winner last season of the Caulfield Cup and Sydney Cup, won the Spring Stakes in convincing style from Kuvera and Lough Xeagh. Silver Scorn appeared likely to take a prominent part in the finish, but, after making a bold forward move at the top of the straight, weakened in the run home and finished fourth. D. Munro, a younger brother of J. Munro. pilot of many good "winners, notably Windbag and Amounis, had a most successful day, winning the Derby on Hall Mark and the Spring Stakes on Rogilla. A. W. McDonald was the only New Zealand jockey to steer a winner, scoring on Bayacre, but T. Webster was second on Deputy Ruler and third on Broad Arrow. Results:—
