In describing the Hurst Park Spring- Meeting, the London correspondent of the "Australasian," writing on May 10th, says:—"The eveifl most likely to interest my readers was the Durham Plate, of £150, one mile, weight for we, as in this Sir E. Vincent's five-year-old Seringapatam (late Screw Gun) mode his second appearance on the English turf. The "field numbered fourteen, and were was plenty of speculation subsequent to the hoisting of the numbers. At one time Seringapatam was backed at about 7 to 2, but he subsequently drifted out to 6 to 1, owing to the weight of money thrown into the market for Mr W. Q. Steven's three-year-old Apollyon, and for Mr Spencer Gollan's four-year-old Burton, the latter having Mr Sievier among his supporters. Apollyon eventually started favourite at 11 to 4, while Burton finished up at 8 to 1, and Seringapatam and Mr A. P. Cunliffe's Baltimore at sixes. Mr W. M. G. Singer's three-year-old Claquer was also in fair request at Bto 1. Apollyon was the first' away, but was soon afterwards passed by Mies Unicorn, who made the running till a furlong from home, whero the favourite again took the lead, and looked all over"* winner. Hβ wa* soon afterwards challenged, however, by Serlngapatam, and the latter soon /taking Apollyon s measure, came aw«y and wan *in a canter by two length*. Claquer was third a head behind the second.' Time for the mile, lmin 42sec. Tie winner is by HotcfaMss—Rose of Wellington, and was ridden by Hftlsey. He is trained by E. Day, and was bred, I believe, by Mr T. Morrin, of Auck- &« 5 thie horse who was given by Mr G. fltead io Sir Edgar Vincent in exchange for Multiform, when that horse became a roarer, and this sportsmanlike action of Mr Steed seems_ likely to.be a good thing for Sir Edgar Vmcent as Seringapatam went in fine style on Saturday, and looks like turnine out a very useful performer. ,
