Marvel put : up tbe race of bis career, and one which earned aim ;be titie of being one of thebest milejs ever seen iv Australia. This _ was in the All Atred Stakes, tb*- starters' f..r which were Carbine. 9.1. Marvel. 9.0.1 Euroka. _.__ and Corvette, c..]::. Carbine was I a very warm favourite a; in to 4 on. whilst I S to 1 could be had _ibout Marvel. The issue j of the race was never in doubt, as Marvel ; had his redoubtable opponent hi trouble I early in the race, and uev.-r cave him a j lok in. winning at the iiiiisb by 4 lengths-. in 1.43. The pair met later iv the day in tbe Cumberland Stakes, uv.-r tv.o miles, in which Carbine had t.* eotirede Marvel 41b : in weight, and bo was favonrite at .". to 4 j on. Carbine had amp'.e revenge on this oc ; easion. turning the tables <_._, his opponent. defeating him easily by half a d-izen , lengths, amid great eseit-meut. In the: following season Marvel ran some highly meritorious races, the best being winning the Epsom Handicap, in I.4AJ. with 10.2: j the Waveriey Handicap, one mile and three ! quarters, with lti.s, and the Doaeaster !
