BERNBOROUGH’S prospect.

(Rec. 6.40.) MELBOURNE, Nov. 17.

A leading Sydney veterinary surgeon, Mr. R. Stewart, who came to Melbourne to attend i Bernborough, believes that Bernborough is out of danger, and that there is no fear now that the former champion might not be saved for the stud. A Melbourne veterinary surgeon, Doctor G. G. Heslop, is more conservative. He says “Bernborough is making slow, but seady progress. Provided he maintains his present improvement, he can be saved for the stud.” Bernborough is helping his own recovery by being a perfect patient. (Rec. 6.40.) MELBOURNE, Nov. 17.
