HELBuDRNE OUP. ****** SYDNEY PAPERS' VIEWS. !. : DETAILS OF PARISIAN'S .WIN. MM* Sydney, Yesterday. The Herald describes the Cup ias a great race, and a groat victory, for tlio field was the largest Since Aurama's year. Watson -did not keep tflro public) llong in suspense;, inefeus|iiijgj the hammer to an excellent start. The first to niako use of it was Cisco, Posadas and Grown Grant. TJi'o firstnamed conducted .tlio field 011 t-o tilio course proper, the flying column passing with Cisco, Posadas, Flaith, Aurofodina lin foe, Mowed .by a great clrostor. 11l 10 pace was very solid. As Cisco turned out of the ! straight and opened up the .river stiiotch, the position of the leading division was practically .unchanged. As they approached the bniclgo kmfodina passed! -Cisco, who was escorted along the hade of tJie course by Posadas. Didus and Flavin were the nearest of tlho others, witili Jacanar, Comedy King, Ladies' Maw-, The Parisian, and Trafalgar just .behind the leading division. When the abattoirs were cast behind Aurofodina drew clear, and as Posadas, laitih, miid Hiairtfell faded out Britain, Didug, Flavian, Jacamar and The Pari- | sian liimpiwed thefiir position. As they swept round tliie bend the pace began to tell on Aurofodiina, who came back to Ms field ia little fethleir 011 and .beat a retreat. As he did so, his stable-mate Didus took his pllaee at tho (head of affaire, and conducted Flavian and Jacamair into the home stretch, while in tlw wake The Parisian, Trafalgar and 'Comedy King were battling along in great style. Wlnen they ireached the distance, Didus was still showing in front of Flavian, but inside ttet point, The Parisian', in response to a call from Cameron, oame in most resolute style, silencing the pretensions of Didus and Flavian, and won decisively amid a scene of great excitement. Cadonia, who appeared on the scene too late to 'be effective, was ]ust behind Didus, while Oomiedy King and Woad wis tho .meanest of the others, ■ The Parisian's victory is a complete vindication. of his public form. He was abfly hiamdled by Cauneiion, wflio kept a good .position the greater part of the journey. The so,! of Bobadilo made a generous re>sponso wihen the critical question was put to him. Trafalgar .nan wit-h his customa.ry honesty, but weight told 'its tale im the last couple of furlongs. Flavian on a great race. The performance of Didus was .partiouMy good, and the <r.aoe was cleanly run. The best hwse at the weights proved victorious.

, The whining jockey, Cameron, declared Jie 'had a lovely .passage all the ray round. When ilio -entered; tliie straight Ire was somewhere about second, audi 'lie felt pretty comfortable. Ha wag, not bumped once. "The Parisian'' was fairly fresh when he took the lead. After tlilat nothing got near us." ■

Black, Trafalgar's jockey, sa'id the weight was too much far the old horse. He got away pretty weH, and all through he had 'a good run and was- not interfered with. ' "Just when I thoaight I would como 'right away and romp in lie died away, and I could not lift him along; he was fairly and squarely beaten." The Telegraph says there was mot a semblance of a fluke about the win. The Parisian romped 'home., wiinniing the Cup as easily as it has been won for a lbng time, the jockey sitting still inaid letting him gallop as to pleased. Taking places at the post Glue, Cisco, and Flavian werce on the ■inside, Trafalgar prominent on the centre, 'and Diabolo, Buitain amid Jiacamiw one the outside. Cisco, Posadas, FWfch and Aiwofodma wene most prominent -for* the first six furlongs. Cisco was first down, the river side, but at tlie mate he gave way to Awofodim, tvJiio renwiiie'd in commanid. "When the straight was entered lie flattered his followers, kit without .grabbing. At' 'the distance the leaders were Flavian, Jaoamr., Britain, Mils, Sandbatlli! awcl Hie Parisian. When faddy on tllie road home and the bitterness of the battle was fiercest, The Parisian, Flavian', Didus, Jacamw, Sandbath and Comedy Ring were al prominent, but more than a furlong from hwme The Parisian in the cento dashed to tlra front, wWi Didus next, just in front of FlavLa-n. Didius continued the struggle, iand so did Flavian, hut The Parisian wins full of iruming, amd @o'ing like a steam enginie he opened .up tlio gap and won by a couple of lengths or more, Flavian just bmt Didus. Cadonm was fourth, ia neck in Iroiit of Comedy Ring. Trafalgar never once .got into the fighting line, wild finished about twelfth:. Hie, however, had a distinctly 'bad' passage, hut Tim Parisian and Comedy ICing liiad also to thread their way through; therefore it is the more likely that the best liorso at the weights won.
