Australian Jockey Club. [Sfjecial to Paßss Association.] SYDNEY, Sbpt. 15. The weather waa fine for tbe opening day of the Australian Jookey Club's Spring Meeting, bat there was a strong, cold wind blowing. There waß a large attendance, including the Governors of New South Waleß and Victoria and their respective suites. The performance of King Orry in the Trial Stakes was a really good one, and should make him a dangerous horse in the Caulfield Cap. The race resolved itself into a match between Isaac and King Orry, and the latter did not appear to exert himself towards the finish. The starting machine vras used at Eindwick for the first time in the start for the A.J.C. Derby, and worked successfully. The following are details of the racing: — HANDICAP HURDLE RACE, of 5 soys each with . 200 spvs added; second horse 50 soys from the stake. About two" miles and a half. Mr T.

Wild Bird and Tramp led for the greater portion of the distance, but at the sheds Bingara drew up, followed by the favourite.

A splendid Btarb was effected, and on passing the stand Gtlenullin was in front, with Bonnie Scotland and Cobbity next. After traversing a mile the positions were much the same, except that Nobleman had moved up thud and Begina was tailing off last. Going along tbo back stretch Bonnie Scotland moved up to the -leader, and was on terms with him as they swept past the sheds, where Cobbity likewise closed up. On entering tbe straight Nobleman showed up prominently for a moment, and Chesterman put in a decided challenge, and a great race between the last-named and Bonnie Scotland ended in the New Zealand colt just lasting sufficiently long to gain the judge's verdict by half a head, with Cobbity, ten lengths away, third, and Nobleman and Begina together fourth. Time — 2min 44aec. EPSOM HANDICAP, of 20 soys each, h ft, or 1 soy only if declared by August 21, with 1000 soys added ; second horse 200 soys, and third horse 100 soys from the stake. One mile.
