AUSTRALIAN RACING.

SILVER RING BEATEN. PLATE TO GAY BLONDE. ROB EOY WINS EASILY. SYDNEY, October 7. The third day of the Australian Jockey Club's spring meeting was held at Randwick to-day in warm weather, and before an excellent attendance. The track was in good order. The Gimcrack Stakes provided a splendid tussle. Seven horses were in line Hearing the post, and the winner, Record, secured the verdict by half a head. Silver Ring attempted to lead all the way in the Craven Plate, but commenced to shorten his strides nearing the distance. Gay Blonde, finishing resolutely, went 011 to win by a length and a quarter. Sporting Blood finished with great dash and just missed a place. The Night Raid colt Rob Roy made the opposition appear cheap in the Members' Handicap. Taking charge shortly after barrier-rise, he was never off the bit, and ran home a winner by six lengths. Rob Roy is a splendid type of three-year-old, and the ease with which he ran out the mile and a quarter brings him under discussion as a Melbourne Cup possibility. Results:— SECOND HURDLES of £300.
