NOTES BY “ADVANCE.”

Lady Wallace has won seven races in succession in Victoria, viz., the Caulfield Guineas, Victoria Derby, J.R.C. Oaks, St. George Stakes, and St. Ilelier Stakes at Caulfield last month, and the St. Leger Stakes and All-aged Stakes at the V.R.C. meeting, which concluded on Saturday last. Her winnings in the races mentioned amounted to about <£4ooo. At Caulfield she defeated Gladsome on weight-for-age terms in the St. George Stakes, nine furlongs, and the following week Gladsome put up her great performance in the Futurity Stakes. Their second meeting was in the All-ag&d Stakes, one mile, at Flemington, when odds were again laid on Gladsome, who was beaten in good style by the three-year-old filly. These two performances make Lady Wallace out to be the best horse in Australia at weight-for-age up to nine furlongs. That Gladsome, who retains her form m a wonderful manner, is at her best at present, is evident by the great race she ran in the Farewell Handicap, one mile, on Saturday, when she was only beaten a head by a wellperformed three-year-old like Roycroft—m receipt of 371 b in weight—in Imm 42iisec. Roycroft won the Essendon Stakes, one mile and a quarter, on the first day, carrying 7.6, and ran third m the: Autumn Handicap, one mile and five furlongs, on the third day of the meeting. T. Pay ten won five races with Antonins, Roycroft, and Melodrama, but had no luck with Scot Free. With Lady Wallace and Tartan. Jos. Burton, the Sydney trainer, secured half a dozen races". Tartan was seen out on each day of the meeting and went through without a defeat. He is now five years old, and like many of the Lochiel tribe lias improved with age. Lochiel was himself a great class handicap performer over short and long distances, and won at weight-for-age in tins colony. In Australia ne could neat Uar-

bine and tho best over all distances under handicap conditions but Carbine, Abercorn, Meloss, and The Australia* Peer all beat the Prince Charlie hors* at weight-for-age. Lochiel made two trips to Flemington in the autumn. At five years of age lift won the Newmarket Handicap, but failed to run prominently in the Australian Cup. two years inter Lochiel was beaten by three parts of a length by Sedition, who was in receipt of two stone, and won the Australian Cup. Lochiel’s progeny have been successful iu nearly every big haudicap in Australia, but few of them have won at weight-for-age. None of his progeny nave yet succeeded in winning the Melbourne Cup, in which event boot Freo and xartan finished second and third last November. At the same meeting juartan won the Melbourne Stakes and C. ii. risher Plate, both weight-for-age events. As a four-year-old Tartan won the Sydney Cup, two miles, in a field of twenty-eight. Lochiel has sired three winners of the Australian Cup iu four seasons, a great record. Tartan is the first of the Lochiels to win tne Champion Stakes.
