The entry for the Grand Prix de Paris of 1901, which totals 519, is a record. The Christchurch horse, Malatua, is weighted at 8.10 in the Epsom Handicap (1 mile), and 8.6 in the Metropolitan Handicap (1£ miles), to be run at the Australian Jockey Club's Spring Meet ing, at Randwick, next September.
