VICTORIAN CLUB RACES.
By this Mail we have full particulars of the above races which were run on the 23rd August, in beautiful weather to a large attendance. The Governor, Lord Hopetoun, was present and had the pleasure of seeing a colt named after him win the 2 year old Handicap, lhe Victorian Club Handicap was won by the Auckland bred Precedence, by Musket from Maid of Honour. The race was won easily by a length and a half. The betting was 10 to i against her. Mr. F. T. Dakin who owned Precedence some time ago always had a good opinion of her, and this performance shows she only wanted time to improve into a good mare. The Steeplechase of 2 miles was won by Mr. S. Miller’s Studley, i2st. 41b„ Mr. R. Goodison s Beetroot, lost, second, Mr. Clark’s Eaglet, i2St lolb. third, Mr. J. Rae’s Guy Fawkes, 11 st. 41b. fourth; time, 4m. 7>sec., our readers will be sorry to hear the old Auckland favorite, Guy Fawkes, broke down.
