At Flemington this morning Loyalty and Launceston ran a splendid mile in lmin 47sec, Loyalcy'e beautiful level action eliciting warm commendation from experienced touts. Penance, who i 3 looking wonderfully well, and is apparently quite sound, traversed a mile and a half in 2min Slsec. Dickens accomplished a similar task, displaying form that warrants the assumption that he must have a chance for the Derby. Portsea and Patron covered a serviceable mile and a half. Patron has improved wonderfully during the last few day 3. Betting is slack pending to-day's developments. Oxide is equal favorite for the Melbourne Cup with Loyalty. Camoola and Halvollo are at 100 to 7. A wager of 2000 to 60 has been taken about Jeweller for the event.
