MELBOURNE, Oct. 24. Hova galloped a tremendous mile and a half this morning, covering eleven furlongs inside 2min 28aec, a heavy broadside wind not helping him. He pulled up well. Delaware went a couple of miles in fine style, bub not against the watch. Tara- ] naki under heavy punishment was completely outpaced by Osculator towards I the conclusion of two miles on the tan, the latter finishing like a lion t after negotiating the middle mile in Imin ySlsec. Experienced Plemingtou touts con- > aider this performance marvellously good, I and completely settling Waterfall’s pro- | spects in the Cup against Osculator. | Derby betting is quiet. 500 to 50 Dalaf ware taken, 500 to 35 Trenchant for the 1 Cup; 1000 to 80 Hova, 1600 to 75 Devon, I 1000 to 40 each Taranaki and Auraria. I At Piemington this morning Callum I Mohr traversed nine furlongs in excellent I style in 2min 2sec. After his gallop this I morning, all the money in the market at 1100 to 8 against Osculator for the Derby I was exhausted, and the best offer against the son of Hotchkiss is now 100 to 10, The following horses are left in the Moonee Valley Cup, seven furlongs, to be run on Saturday:—Eridiaforde 9st 31b, Palo Alto Bst 61b, Kallara Sat 51b, Carlton Sat 41b, Gaillardia Sst 31b, Emaun Na Knuck Sst 21b, Our Jack 7st 101 b, Moonah 7st 81b, Selim 7at 81b, Charon the Moor 7at 71b, Miss Gladstone 7s t 21b, Trida 6st 131 b, Lady Clare 6sb 101 b, Outcast 6at 81b and Enroa 6st 71b.
