Press Association— -By Telegraph—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Association. MELBOURNE, February 28. The weather was fine and bright on Saturday for the Victoria Racing Club’s Meeting. The attendance was large, and included the State Governor (the Earl of Stradbroke). The going was good. Batouch, who was always handy and won the Hurdles narrowly, was ridden by E- Moon. The favorite. Manfred, was very unruly at the barrier in the St. Leger, and tried to unseat his rider (Toohey) several times, and eventually succeeded just as the barrier was lifted. Belgamba led all the way and won easily. He is owned by Mr Stuart Brmiton, who races The tyrant mid others. The time was slow. After the race the owner’s representative was presented with a red ribbon. The last half-mile of thp race took 49sec, and the last six furlongs Imin 14scc. Manfred was produced again in the Essondon Stakes, but he was again unruly at the barrier and refused to budge. The cx-New Zealander Pillie--.vinkie, ivho was lying fourth in the early stages, finished with a lightning run and won by a narrow margin. This is Pilliewinkie’s third weight-for-age success at Flemington. and G. Young was cheered when the horse was led in. Heroic had a great reception when he appeared for the Newmarket Handicap. Ho began well, and. was always going nicely, and won handsomely. The time has been beaten only once in this race. Heroic was ridden by Hugh Cairns, a native of Palmerston North. Cairns stated that Heroic was quiet at the barrier, and won in brilliant style. He was always confident regarding the result. Heroic cost his owner, Mr C. B. Kellow, 16,000g5. Ho is the second Newmarket winner trained by J. Hobbs. Rampion continued his unbeaten record with a narrow win in the Sires’ Produce Stakes. He is trained by Fred Williams.

The sports editor of the United Press states: “The convincing defeat of Tilden in the first of the Franco-Amerioan matches makes it apparent that the United Stater, is not only slipping in international lawn tennis prestige, but is in serious danger of losing the Davis Cup. It is not a front-page story for Tildon to lose a, match. He has been beaten several times by Richards, and once or twice by Manuel Alonso, but there have always been reasons to believe that he did not have the throttle open. But when he drops two such important matches as he has in the last week there is cause for anxiety.”-—A. and N.Z. Cable. FRANCO-AMERICAN MATCHES. NEW YORK, February 27. The United States gained a lead of two matches to one in the international indoor series with Franco, when Tilden and Richards defeated Lacoste and Brugnon to-day, 4-6, 6-2, 8-10, 6-1, 7-5. —Reuter.

BOXING. MIDDLE-WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, February 26. The middle-weight boxing championship of the world was won t>y “Tiger” Flowers, who secured a fifteen-round decision over Harry Grebb, the holder of the title.—Reuter. HALL BEATS FAIRHALL. SYDNEY. February 28. At the Stadium Joe Hall beat Tommy Fairhall in the eleventh round of an uninteresting contest. The crowd hooted, and the referee several times warned the boxers for their lifeless display. SOCCER, SCOTLAND BEATS IRELAND. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. February 27. At Glasgow Scotland beat Ireland by 4 goals to 0. The weather was flue, but the ground wsa very heavy after rain in the morning. At the end of thirteen minutes Gallacher, the Scottish centre-forward, goaled from a cross pass from Cunningham. A little later Gallacher almost scored again, but he slipped when shooting. Near the interval Cunningham goaled with a left-foot drive from a penalty. At half-time Scotland led by 2 goals to 0. The Scottish forwards showed good combination, and were lively in attack. Gallacher got two more goals. It was a pleasant game, but never great, for which the weather conditions were chiefly responsible.—Reuter. INTERNATIONAL RUGBY. ENGLAND BEATS FRANCE. Press Association—By Telegraph-Copyright LONDON. February 27. At Twickenham England beat France by 11 points to 0. Forty thousand persons, including the King, attended the match. The weather was dull. Following on French attacks, the Englishmen pressed, and from a tussle on the French line Aslett scored a try, which was not converted. Young was playing a great game in the scrum, and started a movement which resulted in Aslett scoring another try, which was not converted. At half-time the scores were: England 6 points, France 0. On the resumption of play danger threatened the French line for a long while, hut by putting eight men in the serum instead of seven (which number they liar] tried prior to the interval) the Frenchmen obtained possession more frequently. Their backs, however, kicked too much. After twenty minutes Kittormaster got across and scored a try, which Francis converted. Play slackened in the closing stages, the English line being rarely in any danger, —Reuter. IRELAND BEATS SCOTLAND. LONDON, February 27. At Edinburgh Ireland bent Scotland by 3 points to 0. The weather was fine after heavy rain overnight. The attendance was 40.0 DD. It was a magnificent, game, in which superb play by the. full-backs was a feature. The game was full of thrills, and appropriately ended in a last-min-ute try for Ireland, whose forwards played a great game, though the Scots’ pack were of the dourest, and put up a tremendous resistance. Crawford, tho Irish full-back, was injured, but he continued to play, Waddell, the Scottish half, was carried off senseless near tlr* end of the match, having collided with Browne, an Irish forward. — Reuter.
