Acceptances for the Levin Meeting are due next Friday. Ilka won the £1000 Spring Cup (four furlongs). at Ascot (Sydney) on 23rd October. She carried 8.13, and won the fust division very easily in 49sec. Absurdity (Absurd—Lingerie), 7.7, won the second division in the same time, and Lady Redfern, 7.10, the third in 50sec. In the runoff Uka was an odds-on favourite, and she won easily by two lengths. Uka cost R. Bruce a good deal of money when she first went to Australia, so he sold her to her present owner, but still trains her. Since the sale he has not done much other than win and show a substantial profit. It is understood that J. Potter, F. Tilley's apprentice, will ride Mandane in the Mitchelson Cup at Ellerslie to-morrow. The defeat of Valicare by Amounis in the Linlithgow Stakes at Flemington yesterday is nothing to the discredit of the flying daughter of Valais. She lost ground in the race, but what would be more against her was the fact that she had been more or.less under a cloud since going to Victoria, and had done very little- work. To be beaten by a fit horse like Amounis in lmin 38% sec was certainly no disgrace. The Trentham two-year-old, Laughing Prince, is in Auckland, and will take on High Finance jn the Welcome': Stakes.; According to Northern advices, H. Wiggins will ride Mint Leaf and Merry Jest in the. Mitchelson Cup and Shorts Handicap at Ellerslie. So far no rider has been annonnced for. Te .M°nanni. , ...... Threadneedle was withdrawn from the Great Northern Guineas at 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday.. . •.. ■
