(Received Noon.)

SYDNEY, This Day,

S. Cush, the lessee and trainer of Prince Pombal, who won under 10.7 in race record time at Victoria Park yesterday, has decided that the former New Zealander will compete in future in Melbourne, where the prize money is more attractive. Prince Pombal has not had a spell for two years. The “Telegraph,” commenting on the race, says: “Prince PombaVs record time is a remarkable performance. He overcame more than weight difficulties for he was hurdled off at the start, had to cover extra ground and raced against a strong wind. He possesses the heart of a lion.”
