In a note in its sporting columns of the 12th .nit. the London Express says: Those' who have frequently backed Noctuiform in England, "on account of his New Zealand form," may be interested to hear that an Australian hurdler, recently ini2>orted into India, seems to have forgotten during his voyage across that he could ever jump at all. When in Australia. Betrayer was noted for his clever and perfect fencing, and it was these abilities which won liim all Ins races. When he was tried recently, however, in Calcutta, he persistently refused every jump, and eventually buck-jumped over an obstaclo and gave his rider a bad fall.
