The owner, Alt', lialpli Stewart, was delighted, ami expressed the opinion that Mean Vile should now win all the autumn lor-ag., races in which he competes Although the race was not a real test of Beau Vitc's ability, owing tu the first three fitrluiigs being run a! a slow pace in 4 Is, the last six were traversed in the brilliant tune "I lin IP.s. Gold Salute established a good lead, which he maintained until well down the straight, where Hindi Caste drew level and looked like a winner unlil Beau Yite produced his usual dogged finish. Sprinting from behind, Bean Yite overhauled High Caste, to wm going assay by a length.

I! is REMARKS BY RIDERS PLAN LAID FOR LAST RUN "NOT CHAMPION OF SPRING" SYDNEY, March 30 Commenting on the contest for the Hanson Stakes at Rosehill yesterday. A. W. Dexter writes iri the Sydney Sunday Sun a* follows: "Beau Vite drew first blood against his old rival. High Caste in the Rawson Stakes, the first of their autumn duels, at Rosehill yesterday, but his jockey, Ted McMenamiii. declared inunedlately after the race that the New Zealander is not the champion of last spring. 'He did not pick up speed nearly as quickly as lie used to do. I'he race was run to suit him, yet I did not think I had any chance of svinuing until the last bit. when Gold Salute and High Caste tired,' said McMena mill. Beau Vlte's owner, Mr. Ralph Stewart, disagreed with Mc.Menamin. Beau Vite was having his first start for two months. He had never previously won in similar circumstances. and Mr. Stewart said that lie would prove at Handwick this Easter that he is greater than ever. Later, McMenamin added that, even if Beau Vite were as good as in the spring, he was certainly no better. "I am only sorry that Beau Vite was not entered in the Sydney Cup," said Mr. Stewart. "He would liave had a big weight, but I think lie would have won." Mr. Stewart, McMenamin, and the trainer. F. McGrath, believe that a discussion, which lasted an hour one day last week, laid the foundation for the success. Mr. Sfesvarf'insisted that Beau Vite he given the last run,; "I want Beau Vite to follow High Caste this time," Mr. Stewart told McMenamin, and, .'"although the jockey would have been the object of severe criticism had he been beaten on Beau Vite, McMenamin carried out the orders to Hie letter Neither Mr. Stewart nor his jockey anticipated a slow pace early, especially with Gold Salute in the field, but the first half mile was run in 50 seconds. "McMenamin, however, had his instructions, and. when Bartle made no attempt to keep High Caste near Hie front, ho had no alternative but to drop behind him Beau Vite was second last along the back and when he tried to force through along tlie rails about the" five furlongs he svas cut hack and had to come right to the outside, Reaii Vite ran wide on tlie outside at the home turn, and even a furlong from home he appeared to have only a moderate chance against High Caste and Gold Salute, who was slicking like glue after making most of ihe early pace." The iockey. E. Bartle. offered no excuse for High Caste's failure. SUN BELLE IN FORM RECORD AT MOONEE VALLEY (Ren! 5.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE.
