THE CAULFIELD CUP.

tyir-Ra iHfl be' bißh carnival among the ipprtsmen of Australia on the Caulfield 'heath this afbernoon, when the sixteenth conW f°r tbe CnP takes P,ace- Ib i 8 wsftbv of mention thab for the past seven Sag-lte years the greab mile-and-a-half handicap has fallen to a five-year-old. The Jeweller promises to go to the post one of t L tfjnnesb favourites in the history of the race, and there is indeed good reason for ft. Hal"18 a very l°nien* impost and his performianceß since July lasb alone are full of merib. For a long time past I have rtcommended The Jeweller to my readers, and early backers now have nice hedging Money. Brockleigh'a running in the CaulLd Stakes on Wednesday fully justifies the confidence reposed in him hif his connections, bub Rreat horse and weight-carrier though ho is, I shall dejljß|9 to stand him to absolutely win, although he should gain a place. I've a «<«« affection for Donizetti, butt* the horse's presenb place in the market is nob hopeful for his winning prospects. The nutty behind him are pastmaaters ab the reoing game, and they make few mistakes, the latest instance we have being Bel Glome'b second place in the Toorak Handicap on Wednesday lasb. According to the •trfee men of Flemington, Fulham has a tntmb chance of distinguishing himself in the event with an impost ot 7at 131b, while Wild Rose will have to be seriously ifecioned with. Newman is a strong tip by all of tbe Victorian newspaper writers, therefore I am inclined torespecb his claims for dfafcinotion. Ib would serve no good purpose ab bhia stage to lengthily comment upon the chances of the different horses, and I will narrow _,t#n the matter and simply reiterate my -wvious impressions thab the cable will I flush the name of The Jeweller to New Zeaj land at the winner of the Caulfield Cup of .1893,
