Horse racing is a passion with the
Melbourners Of today and each season
huge pools and purses are made up
on the outcome of contests between
famous horses. Perhaps the prize
complex" of the modern Melbourner
is a case of history repeating itself,
for Melbourne is literally a prize
town." Gold was first discovered In
parts Of Australia outside Melbourne's
trade territory" The citizens met in
sort of pioneer boosters club and
decided that the city needed only a
home-talent gold mine to make it
digger and better Melbourne" There

yellow metal within 200 miles of the
city. Prospecting was stimulated and
