The biggest surprise of this afternoon's racing was the failure of Strathroy to win the Melbourne Cup, Mr. J. F. Macgregor's famous Australian pony was beaten into second place by Electron, which paid $7140 for a win-the biggest dividend paid so far in the annual meeting.

Private advices have been received in Hongkong to the effect that the Japanese aircraft carrier which has been operating off the mouth of the Canton River recently has been successfully bombed by a Chinese plane. It is stated that the carrier has proceeded north, apparently bound for some Formosan port, with her after deck shrouded in canvas..

No confirmation can be obtained from ocial quarters, but the official version is that a lone volun- airman, carrying six heavy teer

not ель bombs, flew from Canton ago in search of the carrier. The Japanese warship was belleved to be carrying planes which persistently raided Canton's railways and ronds. The pilot, one of the men of the International Squadron operating with the Chinese, declared that three of his missiles struck the Japanese ship.

IMMENSE FOLLOWING IN COMMONS & COUNTRY

London, Feb. 21.

Anxiety is expressed in some quarters with regard to the possible repercussions of Mr. Anthony Eden's resigna tion. It is suggested that it may cause, a deeper rift in the Cabinet and the great body of Government supporters in the House of Commons, and may even ultimately pre- cipitate a general election.

Mr. Eden's policy, based on League of Nations principles, undoubtedly has a great following in the country. It is suggested it is also the policy of the Liberal- National and Labour-National groups in the House of Commons, and if these should decide to support Mr. Eden. some suggest that the National Government would be irra Foreign Secretary, is not cesaretted in parably impaired, and that a general election would result.
