News has been received of the death on Sunday at his residence, Auburn, near Melbourne, of Mr. P. G. Dixon, so well known in sporting circles. He will be best remembered as the owner of the- celebrated trotting horse Wanderer. For many years Mr. Dixon successfully conducted a large business as a manufacturer of aerated waters. This was subsequently floated into a limited liability Company. Mr. Dixon has enjoyed the quietude of his charming country, residence at Auburn, where he was highly respected by a large circle of friends. Few men in Melbourne are better known than the deceased-gentleman. W. Beauchamp, the jockey who was so severely injured in a hurdle race at the opening of the spring meeting of the S.A.J.C., died at the Adelaide Hospital on Monday afternoon. The remains will be interred to-morrow at the West-terrace Cemetery. (Later changed to the Boroondara Cemetery) Phillip Garnet Dixon Phillip Garnet “P.
