Farceur was scratched. Nigger Minstrel is credited with the fastest time in this morning’s gallops at Randwick. In a' seven-furlong spin on the middle grass track, in company with Ballymena, he covered the first half-mile in 49Jseo, and the full distance m lmin 28}seo, the colt beating Ballymena by half a length. The performance is considered particularly good, in view of the fact that the rain had taken the fire out of the track. Gloaming took lmin 29£sec.
