VICTORIA AMATEUR TURP CLUB. MELBOURNE, October 14. The victory,of Royal Scotch, piloted by tho New Zealand jockey Oliver, shares with the failure of Lady Medallist the principal comment on Saturday's racing.

Lady Medallist was most disappointing, and dropped back beaten after a clear run, finishing sixth. Royal Scotch evidently has vastly improved, and promises well for tho Cup, though that previous New. Zealand Guineas successes have been followed by Cup failures ie remembered, notably Pink 'Un, who was eighth in the Cup, and Artiilerie, who was sixth. The following acceptances have been received:—
