FLEMINGTON AUTUMN ' MEETING. ANOTHER VICTORY FOR RADNOR. By Telegraph— Association— (Received March 5, 9.40 p.m.)
Melbourne, March 5. The Victoria Racing Club's Autumn Meeting was continued at Flemington to-day. The weather was fine and there was a large attendance. His Excellency the GovernorGeneral (Lord Dcnman) and party were again present.
Some good racing was witnessed, though the fields were small. The winners in five of the races were anticipated successfully by the public.
The Loch Plate proved to be rather a tarce. Radnor's brilliancy frightened off competitors, leaving only two to compete for places;. The Parisian ran'well, but was never in the race. Radnor looked good for another mile and must run well in the Champion Stakes.
