OF TarcO0la, who won the Melbourne OF
1898. may add that have seen two
Melbourne cups run and would have
picked 20 horses in that race before Tar
coola, although / always regarded him
as an excellent handicap horse. but not
equal to answering the question in a
Melbourne cup, the pace in which is the
severest of any race in the world. The
Wycombe plate was won by Ensign, q
S-year-old gelding, with liz pounds, in
:04. He subsequently won the V. r.
G. Derby, but broke his leg in the Mel

make no suggestion for Monmouth, as
suppose it will be closed.
I am aware that shall be met with
sneers about the Australian horses and
asked why it is that Sir Modred, Dare
bin and Mariner have gotten no distance
goers in this country. As the oldest oil
their progeny are but five years old,
do not think they have yet been fully
tested. Sir Modred was mated with a
very ''punky" lot OF mares in his first
two seasons, and it is difficult to imagine
poorer bred matrons than the dams OF
DIR. Hasbrouck and Tournament. Az
for Darebin, can frankly say that do
not like him as an individual. / do not
like his ''sickle hips" and his coarse
ankles, but until some other horse
shows me horse equal to The Austria
liam Peer, shall believe Darebin to be
the equal OF Glenelg and Bonnie Scot
laud as a sire of distance goers and the
superior of all other imported stations
