The’ Tatter-sall’s Club races were held at Randwiok course in glorious weather. The going was good, and the attendance was in the vicinity of forty thousand. Gloaming’s presence in the Chelmsford Stakes, both from sentimental reasons, and the hope of seeing him again- perform on; the tracks proving a special, attraction. The old horse had a great reception, crowds visiting, liis stall and. cheering heartily as he wont out to his engagement. HSff host of followers, however, were doomed' to disappointment of seeing him for the; second’ time the winner of the- Chelmsford Stakes. Ridden by' the ffew Zealander; G. Young, and 1 always Bolding’ a- good' position, he took charge after entering the straight, and-at the dibtanee' whs l clear from Ballymena, on Which the New Zealander, Con Reed,, had: the mount. Gloaming's vim tory wan then loudly proclaimed, hat this- proved to - be- premature'. Ashley Reed brought Heroic' along with a' rush and heat the old champion eomfortably.

(Received September 14, 5.5 p.m.) - SYDNEY, September 14. The Sunday papers’ comments on the Chelmsford Stakes practically amount to a declaration that youth must be served. Whale giving full credit for this great effort, and admitting Mr [Mason’s contention that- he required a ’bit more tuning Up, they point cot that- Gloaming’s age is an undoubted handicap against the brilliant Victorian three-year-old Derby colt. Heroic’s worst fault is his fractiousnees and difficulty of control, but yesterday, under ! the wilful guidance of Ashley Reed he i acted most kindly in this respect, j Eadk was against Gloaming.
