(CONTINUED.) AUSTRALIAN RACING. AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB. XTOHTMARCH WINS KANDWICK PLATE. (United Press Assn.—-By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, October 13. The Australian Jockey Club was favoured with fine weather and a large attendance for the concluding day of the spring carnival at Randwick on Saturday. The track was slow, due to the recent wet weather. The New Zealand horse Green Linnet received pronounced support from its connections in the Canonbury Stakes, l»ut ran poorly and finished at the rear of the field. First Acre made a splendid bid for victory in the Waverley Handicap, but weakened in its final strides, losing the race by half a head. The steeplechaser Home Made appeared to be a possibility, but he hit several lances in the latter stages of the race, causing him to weaken at the finish. Nightmarch established himself as a great horse by brilliantly capturing the Itandwick Plate. After running last for most of the journey, he came up in the final strides, and smothered the opposition, gaining the verdict by two lengths.
