AUSTRALIAN.

It is a pity that this should be the result of the labours of the men who have fought so loyally in the interests of the turf of South Australia, but the cause is undoubtedly the abolition of the totalisafcer. Mr W. O. Baldock, who was returning to Melbourne from India in company with his brother in the mail Bteamer, died from an attack of appoplexy on the day before the steamer arrived in Melbourne.
Betting on the Champion Race has commenced, a consistent visitor to the Flemington training-ground having accepted 300 to 100 about Commotion.
