(Received Match 9, at 5.5 p.m.) There was a splendid attendance for the concluding day of She V.R.C. autumn meeting though the weather was wintry, a biting wind prevailing. Flernington has had a record week, notwithstanding the following off on Thursday. Thi6 bears out the experience of all the other clubs, that iu spite of anti-gambling legislation tho number of racegoers is rapidly increasing. The feature of tho week has been 'cho improvement in tho racing owing to the stipendiary stewards taking exclusive supervision.
