The best of James Scobie’s stable (La Carabine or Clem Sweep) should score in tho latter race.

PRESS ASSOCIATION. MELBOURNE, March- 1. Small business is doing on the _Newmarket Handicap. Wakeful is easier at 9 to 2, which is freely oifered. Advance has retired to 7 to 1, at which be was backed for £I4OO. Watch,.,,.g was supported at 8 to 1; then 9 tr> 1 was offered. Fulminate was backed at 1000 to 80, and Polyxona for £IOOO at 100 to 2 and 500 to 25; Man of Honour, 500 to 20 ; Songbird, 1000 to „ and 1000 to 2. Verne is an unlikely starter. A rumour that Advance had developed lameness has no foundation. Closing prices for Newmarket Handicap:—9 to 2 against Wakeful, 6 to I Advance. 9 to 1 Watchdog, 100 to S Fulminate, 100 to 6 each Man of Honour and Marie Corelli, 100 to o each Maltster and Songbird, 100 to 4 each So-Lcng and Fortune Teller, 100 to 3 each Hearsay, Juggler and Polyxena.

The weather is warm and settled. FLEMINGTON, March 1. Advance and Boreas went five ir. longs this morning in Imin 4scc. j. errvraan and Hearsay were sent the same distance.

Betting—4£ to 1 against Wakeful, 6 to 1 Advance, 9 to 1 Watchdog, 10 to 1 each Marie Corelli and Man of Honour. Others unaltered. LATEST BETTING. V.R.C. AUTUMN MEgTING.

Songbird was said ti have pulled up lame this morning, and was knocked back to 100 to I. but the’ rumour was false, and he hardened to 100 to 4. The following are the latest prices: Wakeful, 4 to 1. Advance, 5 to 1. Watchdog, 8 to 1. Fulminate 100 to 8. Mario Corelli and Man of Honour, 6 to 1. Fortune Teller. 5 to 1. Maltster, Hearsay and Songbird, 4 to 1. CONDITION OP ADVANCE. V rumour was put about the city yesterday afternoon that Advance had gone wrong, but a cablegram from one of bis owners in Melbourne to the other in Wellington quickly showed the statement to bo a canard, and that Advance had done a most satisfactory gallp. and was never better in his life.
