THE MELBOURNE CUP WINNER.

Tho mighty scion of Muskot and Mersey has, by his culminating trinmph, crowned all previous viotorles, for, with the heaviest impost, ho, within the shortost timo, has beaten evory pruvious record, and triumphantly forced Bnccess out of adverso circumstances. Never boforo has a conquest been qrownod with such completo and deserved victory, and tho reoord of the race will bo inscribed in the historical pages of the turf in goldon letters, for its velocity was so immense that it gave the spectator an idea of speed approaohing to übiquity. To tho multitude assembled it presented a brilliant speotaole, whon the spirited mounters ou their ohargera, arrayed in gorgeous silk, quiok as lightning, sped the oourso. In the worda of me immortal bard, one beheld — A generation : a collective family ; A race of youthful and unclouded colts Fetching mad bounds. It is pleasing to note that the people's favorite was crowned with victory, more sobecause weight carried, which always forms a prime consideration in sporting events, and is gonerally regulated with mathematical preoiaion, was thought to seriously affect tho iSBUe of the great event; but the victor's blood and mettle, his innate strength and durability, kept his antagonists at bay. It is the same with man or woman, who, with a good inherited constitution, will genorally pull through a crisis, provided the proper aid be at nand. Unfortunately, from the infant to the adult, all seem to be running a race as to who is first to reach tho grave ! Alas, 'tis true, and pity 't is 'tis true. Mr. S. Hughes, of Dimboola, Viotoria, a gontleman well-known in connection with sporting tnattors, relates under date 22nd August, 1890, that four years ago he becamo auddenly completely prostrated in health, so that the impression gained ground in him that his constitution was breaking up. He states — " My liver becamo enlarged, tho kidneys diseased, suffering as I did from a serioua onaet of gravel, while > pains in tho heart augmented my Buffering, and the affection of tho heart aotually conjured up in my miad an impending calamity, which I thought at any time may terminato my life. Whon resorting to Warner's safo cure, the pains in the heart ooased ontirely. tho enlargomont of the liver subsided, and the disease of the kidneya was subdued." Such tolling words clearly and convincingly provo that thero is a remedy which onablos the afflicted to ride out tho storm of diseaso with flying colours, a Btorling remedy, whioh, liko Carbine, stand* a triumphant winner among a large field of unsuccessful competitors.
