TURF RECORD.

HOBART, February 13. What must be regarded as an achievement in turf annals in Australia is that of Mr. R. J. Chandler, of Bellerive, a Hobart suburb. Mr. Chandler, who owns and trains a string of horses, • has had the pleasure of winning the Longford Cup in. four successive years. It was won this year by Old Days, who scored her second successive win, and on the two previous occasions his grey' gelding. Fern Gully, was' the winner. Not only did Old Days repeat her success of last year, but she clipped 3-5s off the race record established by her on that occasion. When Mr. Chandler received the trophy on New Year's Day, he gave it back to the cluto for a future race— a practice he has invarlablyadopted. TO REAPPEAR.
