SYDNEY NOTES. SYDNEY, October 7. It will be argued for some time that the favourite, Lucrative, would have won the Metropolitan Handi • cap, had he maintained a straight course in the straight, says the “Herald.” Against this however, Dashing Cavalier, apparently with a ittle in reserve, ran an Australian record. It was the best performance of his career. The “Telegraph” quotes Maurice M'cCarten as saying that but lor a series of exasperating mishaps. Lucrative would have “walked away with the Metropolitan. Lucrative met with interference three times, and was beaten only by fifteen inches. " Acceptances for the Craven Plate at Randwick to-morrow are: Reading, High Caste, Mildura, Beau Vite, ail 9.4.
