ALL RIGHT FOR HEED. Roy Reed has never earned money so easily in his life as he has this spring through the successes of Nightly. After Reed had ridden him in the Metropolitan at Randwick M. McCarten wa substituted as Nightly’s rider. When Nightly won the Randwick Plate Reed successfully claimed a winning fee. On Moonee Valley Gold Cup day Reed put in a similar claim, and the stewards decided that

he had been engaged by F. D. Jones to ride Nightly in this event also. They granted him a winning or losing fee. Nightly won, so the connections had to pay two jockeys winning fees, which amounted to £123 15s each. HANDICAPPERS DIFFER Weights were declared on October 29 for the Duke of Gloucester Handicap, one mile and three-quarters, to be run at Flemington on Saturday, and for the Williamstown Cup, one mile and a half, to be run a week later. Two different handicappers compiled these weights, and the variations include the following:
