MELBOURNE NOTES.

MELBOURNE, March 10.
Portsea, although quite sound again, is unlikely to be started to-day. Hova galloped a few furlongs stoutly, and so did Steadfast and Light Artillery. Patron has to carry 141b and Jeweller 51b penalty in the Loch Plate. McGowan, the jockey, who was killed on Tuesday, only made nis will a fortnight ago. He was worth £6000. Mr A. S. Chirnside, the owner of Linburn, defrayed all expenses in connection with the funeral, which took place at Ballarat, where the deceased was a great favourite, owing to the handsome manner in which he supported local charities. The funeral cortege was over a mile in length.
