United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copvnght. SYDNEY,* October 6. The A.J.C. spring meeting open'd at Hand wick on Saturday in ideal weather. The track was in -plendid order, and the attendance was 67,000. African, ridden by the former Xew Zealand jockey Gollop, threw bis rider four times at the post, .ad then missed the jump at the harrier rise. Homer, bred in Xew Zealand and purchased as a yearling on behalf oi Mr J. Spencer B run ton, deadheated in the Derby. Homer, running second to Young Idea in the early stages, ran to the front passing the half-mile, and appeared likely to race away from the field to comfortable victory, but A llunga, ti \ ridden by Munro, joined j - - 1 1 nearing the ]><>st. Peter Pan won the Spring Stakes with the greatest of ease. Tho vion bounded away when heads v. < a .- tiirn -d for home, ami passed the .rnlgo with three lengths to "pur*-. An < Nomination of Peter Pan citcr the race revealed that he reccived n cut near a foreheel and abrasions to the off hind pastern, but Ins trainer, F. McGrath, declnrod it was not serious, and the horse will line up for the Craven Plato (.u Wednesday. Peter Pan received ;> wonderful ocation when returning to scale. He has now won £33,485. Synagogue, despite drawing an outside position ;11 the barrier, rerninded onlookers of Autopay’s all-the-uav victory in the Epsom five years ago, excepting that Autopay i-i a ua . v from the outside, while Synagogue trailed the jiacemaker, Lark Skv. Young Idea’s ‘form in the Derby

erally faded away at the turn, and was well beaten. Homer’s half win in the Derby was wholly unexpected. Ho had recently been suffering from a liver complaint, although his track work was usually brilliant. McCarten was to have ridden Homer, but be asked to be relieved in order to ride Loud Applause, who was also outclassed. Homer is now to take part in the Victoria Derby. A llunga was bred in South Australia by the late Sir Sidney Kidman. He was, bought cheaply at the Sydney Easter thoroughbred sales for 120 guineas.

\ oitre, . ider of the Epsom winner, said the brilliance of Synagogue enabled him to take and hold his position, and even at the finish, when a determined challenge came from the outsider, King’s Head, his mount was going exceptionally well. His jockey, J. Pike, had 110 excuses for Silver Ring, who was simply not good enough on the day. Lough Xeagh found the early pace too severe. Results:
