AUSTRALASIAN CHAMPIONS Gloaming and Eurythmic Getting Ready to Decide Supremacy at Randwick. SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 1. The New Zealand champion middle distance horse Gloaming is again at Randwick to meet the best on the mainland, including Eurythmic, and is in especially good con- ditiou. So is Eurythmic. Gloaming lias won each of his last seventeen races in which he has competed, thereby beating Carbines sequence of sixteen, and for thirty-one firsts and three seconds he has put together 13,-31.". The only time in his career he missed a place was when he fell in the North Island Challenge Stakes at Wellington. His Sydney record is four wins and a second, one of his wins being at Rose-hill. R. J. Mason, his trainer, still thinks Gloaming would have beaten Poitrel in the Australian Jockey Club Spring Stakes if a little more use had been made of him just after entering the straight. Opinions naturally differ on that point, though it looked as if Gloaming could have got farther away from Poitrel before commencing the final eighth. Gloaming lias done nearly all his racing at short distances this year, but as he won at a mile and a half in Auckland, he will manage to get that far at Randwick. It is cartain he will take no end of beating up to a mile and a quarter, and at that distance lie is expected to beat Eurythmic, good horse as the latter has proved himself. At a mile and a half the expert preference is for Eurythmic.
