[special message.]

Melbourne, Oct. 29.

The first day's racing of the Victoria Racing Club's Meeting took place to-day, and was very successful. Tho weather was all that could be desired, and the heat was tempered with a liffht wind. There was a very large attendance, quite equal to that of previous years, and amongst tho distinguished visi tors to the course were SirH. aud Lady Loch, and Lady Hamilton, of Tasmania, LordCar rington, Governor of New South Wales, Marquis and Marchioness of Droghetla, Earl of Buckinghamshire, and Viscount Dalrymple. . The course was in splencled order.

The programme opened with the Mel bourne Stakes, weight for age, which race in previous years has very often given a good line to backers for the probable winner of the Cup.

Melbourne Stakes, a sweepstake of ssovs each, Ift, with 300 added. Second horse to'receive 60, and the third 30sovs out of the stake. For three-year-olds and upwards. Weight for age.

Osborne's br h Algerian, by Goldsborough—Algeria, 9st 41bs ... 3 Trident, The Charmer, and Silver Prince also started. Algerian and Trident cut out the running together, and led the field until the straight was entered, when Silvermine and Dunlop forged ahead. A magnihcent struggle home ensued, Silvermine beating Dunlop after a splendid finish by a neck, Algerian a good third. Trident camem fourth, very close up. Silver Prince, who was much fancied for tho Cup, was never dangerous. Time, 2min 13isec. Hotiiam Handicap, of ssovs each, with 300 added ; second, 60sovs; third, 30sovs. One mile and a half and a distance. Mr W. T. Jones's b h The Levite, aged, byYattendon—Q.E.D. ... 1 Sir W. J.

A splendid race home resulted in The LevitebeatingMenottieasily by three-quarters of a length, Keith a good third. Spade Guinea and obhersalso started. Time, 2min 53|sec. VR C. Derby.

J. White's br f Lava, by Chester- Etna _, •■• ,-' ° Hon. W. Robinson's br c Enfilade, by Musket;:—Onyx ° A splendid start was effected, and from the lump Abercorn, who held position on the rails, was the first to move, but immediately gave way to his stable companion, Lava, who took up the running, and led Abercorn and Enfilade by half a length, Whakawai being two lengths away ; then followed Aus tralian Peer and Tranter, with Jebusite bringing up the rear. Running along by the river Lava had increased the distance sepa rating her from Abercorn, Enfilade, and Tranter,' while the Australian Peer was last. Nearing the bridge, Whakawai, who was making the running for Tranter, ran up to -Lava and Abercorn ; Pakeha and Trantor also closed up. At. this time Niagara was last, but running strong. As tho held raced along the back of the course, and ap proached the Abattoirs, Whakawai had Lined about half a length's advantage over Lava, who was then leading the favour ite by two lengths. Abercorn was going freely and had as his closest attendants Tranter and Pakoha, who were running to aether, and then came Niagara, who was quickly improving his position, while Jebusite was apparently beaten, and

began to tail off. Much the same order was presented as the horses swept past the sheds, but nearing the home bend Lava retired in favour of YVhakawai, who was leading Aber corn by a length. Niagara and Australian Peer now made a great efi'ort, and, along with Tranter, were fast gaining on fclie lead ers. Rounding the turn from home, Abercorn appeared to have a slight advantage over Niagara and Australian Peer, while Pakeha was lying handy, YVhakawai having dropped away beaten. Atthe distance post Abercorn was only a neck in front of Australian Peer, and Niagaraon the outside was at the latter girths. Tranter, too, Was coming fast. Opposite the stand Australian Peer made a desperate rush, and getting even with the favourite a hundred" yards from the post and despite the gallant efforts of. the latter to recover the lead, won by half a length, Niagara, who finished splendidly, making a dead heat for second pluce with Aber corn ; then came Tranter, closo up fourth, followed by Lava, Pakeha, and Enfilade, in the order named, While Jebusite brought up the rear. Time, 2min 40see. The victory of Australian Peer in the Derby was very popular. There was great enthusiasm as the horse returned to the scale, and Mr Gannon, the owner (who won the Melbourne Cup last year with Arsenal) was heartily congratulated on his winning the blue ribbon. Gorry, the pilot of Aus tralian Peer, rode a great race. The betting at the post was even money on Abercorn, 7 to 2 against Tranter, 11 to 2 against Australian Peer, 8 to 1 Niagara, 14 to 1 Pakeha, 20 to 1 Enfilade.

The Maribyrn-ono Plate, a sweepstakes at 30sovs. each, with 1,000 added. For two-year-olds : Colts, Bst 101b ; fillies, Bst 51b ; geldings at time of running allowed 51b. Five furlongs. Mr J.

A good start was effected, and there was a close race to the distance post, when Lady Betty and Consequence drew out, but Lonsdale, coming up on the out side with a great run, won after a splendid finish by a long neck, Consequence just beating Lady Betty ; others came in strag gling. Time, lmin 4secs. The betting was 4 to 2 against Sylvester, 4 to 1 Con sequence, 6 to 1 Venture, 6 to 1 Hegira, 7 to 1 Gladstone, 8 to 1 Miss Thirza, and 10 to 1 any other.

Notes of the Derby.

The victory of Australian Peer is on the whole a very good one for the local ring, as Abercorn and Niagara had been backed the heaviest, while in doubles The Peer was hardly laid at all. Tho win of Australian Peer is another slap in tho face for those Australian sportsmen who allowed Darebin, his sire, to leave the colonies. It will be re membered thatDai*ebin was taken to America two or three years back. Australian Peer is a beautifully bred colt, being by Darebin, who won the Derby in 1881, and the Sydney Cup in 1883, out of Stockdove, a daughter of Maccaroni and Anonyma, tho latter being out of Stockwell. Darebin is by The Peer out of Lurline, The Peer being by Melbourne, while Lurline is a daughter of Traducer and Mermaid, a daughter of King Tom. Niagara did credit to all connected with him, and if lie had not been stopped in his training he would no doubt have been able to carry Mr Coopers colours to victory in the Blue Rib bon. He has fully proved himself to be equal to tho Hon. .). White's flyer Abercorn. His dead heat in tho V.R.C. Derby shows how he must have improved in spite of his interrupted preparation since the A.J.C. Derby, when Abercorn beat him and ran him a dead beat. at. a difference of 71b the next day of the meeting. The Australian Peer's weight in the Melbourne Cup to-morrow will now be 7st 51b as he puts up a penalty of 71b. Grand Flaneur and Martini-Henry are the only Derby winners so far that have an nexed the Cup, and to-morrow will see whether Tho Australian Peer can repeat their performance.

Melbourne, October 30.

In the race for the V.R.C. Derby yester day Tranter, when rounding the turn at the bottom of the straight, came on to his knees, and Niagara, while at the back of the course, tried to bolt. Tho win of Aus tralian Peer was a bad one for the ring, as he had been backed heavily in doubles by the Sydney division. Mr Gannon, the owner, wins £11,000, and he also stands well about Australian Peer, for the double event.
