By Telegraph.—Press Association. — Copyright. Melbourne, October 16. This was an off morning at Flemington and no work of importance was done. Delaware and Oxide left Sydney last night for Melbourne. Tho Trior executed a groat gallop over one milo and three-quarters at Randwick yesterday, and is considered to be a certain starter for the Melbourne Oup. The Mentone Handicap resulted—Duballow, 7st 101 b, 1; Strahan, 7st 21b, 2; Te Whiti, 7st 101 b, 3. As a result of this victory Mr Davis’ colt has advanced to 100 to 4 for the Caulfield Cup, as to which 5 to 1 is tho best offer against Hopscotch. Havoc and Trenchant have each been well backed at 100 to 8, but Preston and Hova arc easier. The Admiral has been supported down to 100 to 7, whilst all tho money at 100 to 6 about Bruin has been, exhausted.

After a satisfactory gallop yesterday, Mr Oxonham accepted 5 to 1 in thousands that his colt Waterfall will heat Anraria in tho V.E.C. Derby. The general entries for the Melbourne Cnp Meeting show a falling off of 157 as compared with last year. Received October 10, 10 p.m. Melbourne, October 16. Further support has been accorded Hopscotch for the Caulfield Cnp, and this has shortened his price to 4 to 1, while 100’s te 7 about The Admiral have been taken freely. Preston has receded to 100 to 5, but has been well backed for the Melbourne Cup at 100 to 6 and 7. Four to 1 is now tho best offer for Anraria for the V.K.C. Derby. Delaware and Hopscotch are equal favourites for the Melbourne Cup at 100 to 8; Wallace, Preston, and The Admiral, 100 to 7 ; Aurari'j, and Trenchant, 100 to 5. Aquarius has been scratched for the Melbourne Cup. Auckland, October 16. Pegasus has been shipped to Christchurch, to fulfil his Now Zealand Cup engagement, Dunedin, October 16. The Wakatipn has brought ten trotting horses from Mr Miller’s stud farm, Victoria.

Stornohaser and Bessie Maoarthy are also on board, on their way to tho C.J.C. meeting. By Telegraph. —Own Correspondent. Masterton, October 16. The Masterton-Opnki Jockey Club is indignant at the fact that while tho programme for the usual Boxing Day Mooting was submitted to tho stewards of tho Metropolitan Club some weeks ago, so far no reply has been received. Tho looal olub is anxious to get out the programme and cannot afford further delay. (By “ Te Whitt.”) The Wanganui Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting commences to-day and will be continued on Friday. My anticipations for the first day’s events are s— ' String Handicap, one mile and a distance. —Monte Carlo. Electric Hack Handicap, four furlongs. —Seabreeze. Wanganui Derby, one mile and a half. — Qniltiri. Hurdle Race, two miles and a distance.— Lord Vivian. Hack Hurdle Race, one mile and a half. —Kai Iwi Lady. Hack Race, one mile and a distance.— Ebor 11. Flying Handicap, three-quarters of a mile.—Waiuku. Tho North Otago Meeting also takes place to-day. The New Zealand Cup candidate Euroolydon should account for the principal event and Victim tho Flying Stakes. ‘ A private telegram from Wanganui states that Irish Twist is still under the care of the veterinary surgeon. Be is an unlikely acceptor for the New Zealand Cup.
