THE CUP MEETING. PETER PAN AGAIN. CLOSING TIME AND UPOKO ARIKI. MELBOURNE, November 11. The Melbourne Cup carnival of the Victoria Racing Club was concluded at Plemington yesterday in fine weather and before an excellent attendance, which included the Duke of Gloucester. Polygonum scored his first success for two and a half years in the Windsor I Hurdle Race. Bumburnie, who had won 'at his previous four starts, finished gamely 1 for second and Dunkeld was third. The stewards inquired into Polygonum's form compared with his running in the iiurdls race at Ascot on November. 1, when he ran last in a field of eight. The inquiry was adjourned until to-morrow afternoon. The Melbourne Cup winner Peter Pan won the Duke of Gloucester Cup with something in hand. He was last cany.. Broad Arrow fought on gamely for second, but was no match for the winner. Hyperion was a fair third. Nightly disappointed. Pater Pan has now had five starts and five wins at Flemington and his stake winnings amount to £27,585. He will probably return to Randwick to race in the Duke of Gloucester Plate on November 22.

Sylvandale compensated for his narrow defeat by Theo in the Derby by winning the Batman Stakes. Barak was second and Robert finished strongly for third.

Aureus led all the way in the Fleraington Stakes, but the New Zealander Debham was rapidly overhauling him at the post. Young Idea was third. When** side and Night Club ran- poorly. 'J'he winner cost 350gs as a yearling. L'Elite tried to win the Linlithgow Stakes all the way, but was no match for Closing Time over the last furlong. Closing Time displayed improved stamina. Kuvera was third. . Sweet Trilby led throughout \n the Ottawa Stakes and beat the fast finishing Sally Instep. Lothion was third. Fulojoy was never dangerous. Closing Time's owner .T. T.
