JEERS FOR MELBOURNE WINNER.
Jeers from the flat followed Barametric back to scale at Ascot (Melbourne) on January 18 after he had led all the way to win the Belhaven Handicap easily from Dolphin and Mutable. The stewards held an inquiry into the apparent reversal of form compared with. Barametrie's running in the Cumberland Handicap at Moonee Valley on the previous Saturday. After hearing the evidence of the owner, H. C. Cornforth, the well-known Victorian trainer, C. T. God by, and the jockey. H. Morris, who rode the gelding on both occasions, the etewarde were unable to account for the improved display, but were satisfied that the gelding had been allowed to run on ite merits in both races.
