I RACING. I Twice beaten by Wise Force in t, fortnight, Amounts came back to his own in Qte October Stakes at the Vic toria Racing Club’s October Meeting on Saturday. He won comfortably from Rigadoon, and very easily from the rest of the field, which was headed by Carradale. sensation was cause! afterwards by a report that Wise Force had been doped, and a veterinary surgeon who examined the horse stated that the horse’s condition was certainly abnormal. The stewards, after an inquiry, announced that Wise Force had been given alkaloid poison, and l adjourned the case for investigation. Amounts’s victory was therefore not definitely elear.eut, for Wise Force was .

his principal opponent in the race. Nevertheless, from his point, the hoodoo that had conn* over him as he climbed closer to Gloaming’s record staketotal has been laid. Limerick, Heroic, Windbag, and others fell into the

spell and failed to emerge, but Amoun. is appears to have passed through the danger zone. He is only £1205 behind the mark at which he is aiming, and with the opportunities that will bo coming his way in the next few weeks

he is almost certain now to achieve the task that has already beaten so many. A pleasing factor of Saturday’s race, so far as Am minis is concerned, is that it showed him to have lost t none of his old dash. He covered tho mile in Imin 37jsee, ivhich is only a second slower that the Australian and • New Zealand record, which he himself holds jointly with the Hawk. Ho has probably recovered the form he lost on the rush trip south from Phar f Lap’s domain, and if he has it will i take a, «-hampion to account for him lover this distance. Wise Force would | have beaten him on Saturday only by j doing better than he ever has. TROTTING. r Wrackler is generally regarded as having none of the best of the figures in the Trotting Cup. but nevertheles is on the boom for the race. It is the old theory of not what a horse has done, bul what he threatens to do. j Captain Wrack is a horse that look? I sure to improve with ago, and beat j them all bar one in Arethusa, who is j now proclaimed to be well above the ordinary standard. | Elite Bingen, who won at the Kurow i meeting, was got by Nelson Bingen — 1 Locanda Bells, by Abbey Bells—Maud, ! by Berlin, and on breeding should fie vclop into something able to win in I better company.

HERE AND THERE. I All the British eroH-s-Channel air , Lners are now fitted with three enThrO’O hundred large German companies pa.id l an average dividend of 7.1 per cent, last year. A piano which generates and distributee heiit while if is being played ( has been invented in Austria. | In regilding the cross on St. Paul’s' [ Cathedral London, recently, 25,0001 leaves of 24-carat gold were used. j ; The famous marble qnairries at Car-’ rara., Italy, were first worked by the !
