AUSTRALIAN TURF.

LYN.CH LAW UNBEATEN. HIS SECOND SUCCESS. FATHER S PRESENT TO DAUGHTER. A father's present to his young daughter might bo made famous by the brilliant two-year-old Lynch Law, in the Derbies, Legers and cups of next season. Lynch Law equalled the record for the Warwick Earni track in the Kirkham Stakes on December 5, and he is definitely the finest youngster seen out this season. The former New Zealand trainer, .7. T. Jamieson, was commissioned by the Sydney builder and contractor, Mr. A. C. Lewis, to purchase a yearling for him at the New Zealand sales last January. Jamieson picked out the chestnut colt by Limond from Drastic, and paid 500gs for him. The colt was one of the show youngsters of Jamieson's team when he brought them to Sydney, and Mr. Lewis then presented him to his daughter, Nancy, who is still in her 'teens. Nancy has not seen Lynch Law win his two races. She is travelling abroad, but if Lynch Law should develop as ho promises, his youthful owner will be there to receive the thrill of her life at the A.J.C. autumn meetings. Lynch Law has. already won £720, so it's a nice nest egg to come home to. Lynch Law is unbeaten. He opened his career by success at Moorefield, but his form in his second race showed his real greatness, for he had the extreme brilliance to run live furlongs in a minute, and the stamina to beat off the early leaders, then to hold both St.. Constant and Micawber without much trouble in the straight.

HAVASPOT RETIRED,

The ex-New Zealander. Havaspot, winner of many welter races and hurdle events in Sydney, has seen the racecourse lor the last time. His owner, Mr. Hunter White, lias presented the gelding to Brigadier-General C. J. Marouey, who will use him as a troop horse. Since Havaspot ran in a hurdle race at Randwick a lew months back, he hurt a suspensory ligament. lie received constant treatment from a veterinary surgeon, but after working recently he showed distinct lameness. He was lame again later on and it was considered unsafe to persevere with him. Havaspot is 11 years old, and "he was one of the kindest ever a man had through his hands," said R. C. Chaplin, who raced him during the last year.
