AUSTRALIAN RACING.

The Sydney Turf Club Anniversary Handicap was won by Mr Mayo's outsider, Hop Bitters, followed home by Tiranua, Mantilla, and seventeen others. At the Victorian Amateur Turf Club Meeting, Mr O'Brien's Whimbrel, 9st 81b, was third. M. Midas, 7st 21b, and Victor Hugo, 9st 91b, in the Holiday Stakes; thirteen others ran. The Anniversary Handicap was won by Bothwell, 7st 101b; St. George, 7st alb, second; Dividend, B_t Blb, third. Nine others ran, including Audacity, the New Zealand bred'son of Randwick and Elsa, who afterwards carried Bst 21b home first in the Toronga Handicap of 150 soys, beating nineteen others, and ran the three-quarter mile iv lmin 16|sec. The Stewards held an inquiry into the running of Audacity in the Anniversary Handicap, but it was shown by those who knew the horse best that his chance of winning was considered much better on the six furlongs than on tbe eleven furlongs, and that he had not been able to stay the distance in the longer race. No action was taken by the Stewards. At the Oakleigh Park races, Moss Rose, the New Zealand mare, won the Centennial Handicap. oudan, a full brother to Scots Grey, won the Oakleigh Park Handicap, while Marama, the Napier pony, won the pony race at the same meeting.
