NIGHTLY AND CUSTODIAN
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, September 4. Both Nightly and Custodian galloped this morning. Nightly performed fairly well, and Custodian showed no sign of lameness,
It is interesting to relate in connection with Sir Simper (the Caulfield Cup favourite), who first saw the light of day at Mr. John Donald's stud farm at Westmere, that his mother took mammitis after foaling, and in consequence was unable to feed him. Illume, a daughter of Simper, who was also at the Westmere Stud Farm, had a foal at the same time, but it was born dead. M. Grogan, the stud groom, then took Simper's foal, smoked it to disguise the smell, and immediately gave it to Illume. The ruse worked very well, and Illume became Sir Simper's foster mother, and an excellent one at that. .;,
