The second Australasian AVaterloo ( up meeting, decided last week at the Lockiea Kiiclosnre, near Brisbane, under the auspices of the Australasian Courting'. Luiou. the control of the

Queensland. Coursing Association, and the. immediate direction of the Rocklea Coursing Club, may be written down as a imost successful affair (says ; n writer in the Sydney P‘Referee”). Ihe success of the meeting' is very gratifying, to those supporting the union, A notable plank in the aims and objects of tllfc union is the fostering of coursing where support and b,clp are required—this in the general interest ol the sport. And for this reason the Australasian Waterloo Cup has been made a movable feast.' There were many who doubled whether a comparatively young dub. like the Rocklea C.0., could handle an event of such importance; but the club has conic through in triumphant fashion, and under what, to those behind the scenes, were adverse circumstances. Amongst the big company at Rocklea were, Messrs Martin Taylor (representing New Zealand) and ’F. Morris and C. Or.r (Victoria), whilst, representing New South Wales were Messrs I). D’Arcy (Bega), G. C- Maddrell (Braidwood), George Atkina (Liverpool), George Dare (Yallah). Roy Sims and N. Tuckfield (Fairfield), L Murray, G. Snell and S. Whyte (Glen Times), and S. C. Armstrong (Grafton). The Queensland contingent was a strong and representative one. On the first day the visiting English football team were present as guests of the Rocklea C.C. ' The winner, Peggotty. is a handsome second season bd w b (sister, to Micawhcr), whoso only previous performance was at Fifcfield on July, 17 and 18 of last year, when she won the Fairfield Stakes—of 20 maiden puppies—in convincing style. Lad back-end Mr Garnet Maddrell bought Micawher, PeggoUy and Achieved’s First at a pretty lug figure. The trio were bren and roared at. Liverpool, and they represent eel top-hole New South Wales puppy form at t.he time. Mr Maddrell, wlih !rains Ins own dogs, thus won a Waterloo Cnp at, the first, time of asking—and ho deserved the win, being a keen enthusiast. .
