(Received Oct. 20, at 10 p.m.) The weather was fine and there was an excellent attendance for the Caulfield races. Balkan Prince, who ricked a shoulder, was scratched from the Cup at 1.7 p.m. to-day. Pilot was interfered with early but finished brilliantly to win the Burwood Handicap in the last stride. Bellevue was a fair fifth Pantoon and Royal Order were never dangerous Jewel led throughout in the Mona Nursery and was not extended to win She has had two wins in three starts. She was bred by her owner-trainer. S. Murphy. Nuffield, after lying seventh early, won the Gwyn Nursery in impressive style. His owner, Mr C. B. Kellow raced the sire and dam of the winner. Cassio, who cost 1300 guineas, ran a f a i r ra ce. The Trump finished brilliantly to give the-rider. Ashley Reed, his first Caulfield Cup win. The Trump was in the middle of the field early, and outstayed Sir Regent in the last few strides. Donaster finished well to beat Silver Standard narrowly for third The Trump is trained by the former New Zealander Stan Reid, and his owner is Mr Darcy Eccles. They deserved their success in the big race. The Cup was The Trump’s fourth successive victory. Great Credit is due to Reid, as the gelding has proved difficult to train. Considering the conditions, the time, 2min 28Jsec, was excellent. Talking failed to stay, and Wotan was always badly placed. Flood Tide and Willie Win ran good races, while International, Desert Chief and Only One were never dangerous The Chanter fell.

The champion American trotter Greyhound, who holds the world’s record of Imin 56sec for a mile, is almost certain to visit New Zealand

The desire of the New Zealand trotting authorities is that Greyhound shall lake part in an international trotting meeting at Addington next Easter, and at which the best New Zealand and Australian trotters will compete. It is known that Greyhound’s owner is anxious to bring the gelding to New Zealand, and his main concern has been in regard to quarantine requirements. Arrangements have been made fo> the horse to spend the necessary 28 days’ quarantine at the Government research station at Wallaceville, where good stables and grass paddocks will be available, instead of snending the period on Somes Wand.
