A.J.C. EVENTS AT RANDWICK WINS AGAIN. AMMON RA DEFEATED. Sydney, March 27. The A.J.C. autumn meeting opened at Randwick on Saturday. There was fine weather, an excellent track and large attendance. Nightmarch proved that his brief respite from racing had not impaired his galloping ability by winning the wellendowed All Aged Stakes in convincing manner from a smart field. Kurvera enjoyed easy victory in the Sires Produce Stakes and appears to be the season’s best colt. Jacko, who hitherto was only capable of winning in novice company, won the Doncaster in hollow fashion from a field which included some of Australia’, best milers. Ammon Ra was again compelled to take second place to Middle Watch, who defeated him in the Victorian St. Leger. Ammon Ra appeared to have the race in safe keeping at the Leger, but Middle Watch, by a well-timed run, gathered him in with two lengths to spare. Results:— FIRST HURDLES. Hudibras 10.12 (Hynes) .. .

Sydney, March 28, The A.J.C. autumn meeting was continued at Randwick to-day in fine weather on a splendid track and before the best attendance seen at Randwick for a considerable time.

The Sydney Cup, worth £3656 to the winner, provided the poorest exhibition of riding in the history of the race.
