SYDNEY, November 28.

The Newcastle Jockey Club, by payment of a premium of £6O, insured its meeting on Saturday for £BOO against ten points of rain falling by a certain time on Saturday, but when the time limit had expired, the gauge registered only 96 points. Immediately afterwards, torrential rain fell, causing a postponement.
