CAULFIELD CUP DAY. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.] (Per Press Association.]

MELBOURNE, October 20, (Received October 20, 1888, at 7 p.m.)

The Victorian Amateur Turf Club was favored with fine weather to day for their second day’s racing. Though a cold wind was blowing, the attendance was about 30,000. Governor Loch and Lady Loch, along with a party from Government House, were on the course. The railway arrangements were wretchedly bad, and called forth many complaints from the public. An accident happened to Mr J. Crozier’s Lara at Caulfield this morning. The horse, while being exercised, mastered his jockey and bolted, and before he was secured had impaled himself on a rail on the course, the jockey escaping with batj slight injury. The accident, of course, put Lara completely out of the Cup, for wh{ch Mr Crozier thought he had an excellent chance, and had the horse gone to the post he would have been neavily backed. The Caulfield Cup, the chief event on the card, created a great deal of interest, and speculation was very brisk. The party who stuck to Chicago landed a good stake, but: outside those there were very few wins of any extent. The following are the resulfis;—

MAIDEN PLATE, of 200 bovp. Ono mile. Mr J. A. Long’s Snowtoot, 3 yrs J Mr T. P. Hey wood’s Lord Allen, 4 yrs .. .. 2 Mr J. Millet’s Ilex, 3 yrs .. .. - 3 Seven started.

Betting: 6 to 1 against Bravo, 7to 1 The Charmer, 8 to 1 Chicago, 10 to 1 Pakeha, Cardigan, Stanley, and Touchstone, 12 to 1 Enfilade, Spade Guinea, and Plutarch. In tho paddock Chicago, The Charmer, and Pakeha met with most favor. The flag fell to an excellent start, and after fairly settling into their stride the colors of The Charmer, Plutarch, Crown Brand, Enfilade, Spade Guinea, and Chicago could be seen well to the front. As they swept past the stand the first time Spade Guinea had command of the field, with Dividend and The Charmer in close attendance. Much the same order was maintained until six furlongs had been left behind, when Gorry made a move on tho favorite, ami gradually cutting down the leading division, was at the head of affairs when a mile had been traversed. Bravo continued to increase his lead, and when nearing the straight was three lengths ahead of the ruck, in which Spade Guinea, Plutarch, The Charmer, Enfilade, Chicago, and Tradition showed prominently. The favorite led at the distance post, but here he was challenged by The Charmer, who answering gamely soon had the lead. Bravo came again, and though he regained the lead he had to contend against Chicago, Tradition, and Enfilade, who were at his girth. Well within the distance Chicago and Tradition made their effort, and the former staying the longest caught the judge’s eye a length and a-half in front of Tradition, who in turn was half-a-length ahead of Bravo. Then followed Enfilade, Pakeha, Cardigan, Plutarch, and Stanley. Honeydew finished last. Time, 2min 38Jsec. OPEN HANDICAP STEEPLECHASE, of 300 sovs. Two miles and a-half. Mr J.

Harry Dunn has accepted George Robertson’s challenge to wrestle for the five-style championship (Cumberland, Grieco-Roman, Lancashire, catch-as-catch-can, collar-and-elbow, and American side-hold) for from LSO to LIOO a-side. The match comes off at Wanganui in January. Concerning the “ demon,” the London correspondent of the ‘ Press ’ says that he has played once or twice since his arrival—once in a match in Bucks, and latterly in a first-class cricket match between I Zingari and the Gentlemen of England, when he played for the latter. On this occasion ho took seven wickets for 67 runs, so that be has evidently not wholly lost his skill. Ho intends taking up his residence in England permanently, and will reside in Derbyshire. He enters the business of his father-in-law, Mr Cadman, of Beardsell, the proprietor of the Star Tea Company, Owners, trainers, and others have at times some odd correspondence. For pure, unadulterated impudence, I (“Rapier ) think the following letter from someone at Clapton to the Duke of Beaufort is hard to beat. It runs“ My Lord,—May it please your Grace to excuse the liberty I take in addressing you. I am requested by a few sporting friends—who, with myself, have been discussing the entries for the Cesarewitch Race, run at Newmarket in November next—to ask you to be kind enough to lot us know which of your horses entered is the most likely to run the best in that race. We should be much pleased to see your colors carried to the front, and wish your horses success in many races before the close of the season. Apologising, and thanking you in anticipation, allow me to remain, your Grace’s most obliged and obedient servant, G.F.B.’ 1 It might be supposed that to such a letter no reply would be sent, but the Duke of Beaufort kindly took the trouble to answer, and the reply so thoroughly sums up the situation that I quote it without comment.

Badminton, August 27. Fir,—l have received your letter of the 24th inst. I think I may venture to say that you are somewhat premature in your inquiry. You seem to forget that the “ Cesarewitch Race,” as you call it, is a handicap, and that as the weights have not yet been adjusted it would require something more than human knowledge to be able to say which of my horses is likely to have the best chance of winning; nay, further, whether any of them will have any chance at al. Since the racing season opened I have had no chance of winning any hand'cap the nearest I have approached to a win was running once third. Should any of my horses have a chance it strikes me that as I am the person who pays the stakes and the training txpenses, it would be but fair that I should have the first run of the marker, and that it is time enough for those who contribute to neither of these expenses to follow the market when they see a horse backed. lam aware that there is a very general opinion among those people who back other people’s horses that owners ought to enjoy the privilege of keeping horses for others to bet and gamble upon, and that it is quite good enough for the owners to take the hedging money of those who are well on. It may be prejudice on my part, but I do not see the matter exictly in that light, The telegraph and the tape have revolutionised betting, and the moment a horse is backed for L2OO or L3OO in London or any great city he is quoted at such short odds that an owner has no chauoe to win any money.—l am, etc., Beaufort. The oldest race in existence is that run annually for 267 years past at Paisley, for the Silver Bells. It was run for the 268 th time in the middle of last August, and was won by Mr J. Jameson’s br c Pompeius (3 yrs, 7st 91b), beating Mr W. Stevenson’s br g Londonderry (6 yrs, Bst 41b), and Mr C. Perkins’s b hj Buonaparte (aged, Sat 41b). Odds of 7 to 4 were laid on Buonaparte, but Pompeius beat him easily. The race, which was instituted in 1620, is an interesting link connecting the history of past racing with that of the present day. Contrasted with the big stakes now raced for in various parts of the country, this old-time racing trophy looks extremely small beer, but its historical associations cannot be gainsaid. It has during its time been won by some of the best horses that have crossed the Tweed, amongst them being Chanticleer and Haricot. This racing trophy of the past consists of a couple of Silver Bells (with 100 sovs added), similar to those with which our forefathers were wont to decorate their barbs and palfreys, and was originally given in loan to the magistrates of the town, whose successors have been their custodians for the past two centuries and a-half.
