Something unusual ! The Hon, J, White did not score a single win during the Sydney Turf Club meeting, The famous thoroughbred horse, Robert the Devil, died at the Beeuham Stud farm, Berkshire, on the Ist of May. A Sydney paper says Anifflus, by Sir Modred, is a coming colt, and the Melbourne Cup is not out of his reach. Donovan, ths winner of the Derby, had up to that race, started on sixteen occasions, with ths result that ha won thirteen of his engagements, which represent in stakes £35,587 15s. This is the largest amount ever won by a racehorse.

The Sportsman, referring to F. Slavin’s projected trip to the Old Country, says ■ “ Our tip is ; The Hon, J. White’s bast colt for the Derby, Searle for the rowing championship, and Slavin for the pugilistic championship.” The New Zealand-bred horses racing in Australia during the present season have won the sum of £12,703.
