THE TRIUMPH OF TRIVALVE

ll (By Cable.— From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Melbourne Representative.) || II fILD-TIME training methods were responsible for Trivalve's brilliant || 11 ** victory m the Melbourne Cup, as Australia's famous veteran 1| II trainer, James Scobie, gave the three-year-old a most searching pre- || 11 paration. II if It was solidity engendered by severe track tasks which stuck to || || him m the bitter battle over the final two furlongs with the hot || 11 favorite, Silvius. II II Co-ordinated with Scobie's preparation was perfect horsemanship §| \l by Australia's oldest and most versatile jockey, Bob Lewis, who, m || ll spite of being 48 years of age, went to scale at 7st. 61b. to ride if ll Trivalve. , ii II Recognising that the chief danger lay m Silvius, Lewis followed §1 II that horse through the race. Both the favorite and Trivalve had a || ii splendid passage. §| II Silvius was m front at the turn, and looked a sure winner nearing ll II the last furlong. Then Trivalve, showing unusual stamina — due prob- || || ably to two strains- of Carbine — finished strongly and gradually wore || 11 Silvius down. . II il Son o' Mine, which was tailed off m the early stages, finished m |i |l wonderful style and secured third place, just m front of the Caulfield ll ll Cup winner, Textile. ...... ,_ , L .„ II li The best-backed, horse on the course was Murillo, but he met with || 11 interference seven furlongs from home and lost all chanoe. H ll On returning to scale Lewis received the most wonderful ovation |i || ever heard at Flemington. || E3 li „,,,,,,,,,,iiiiiiiiiiiii<iiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ii iM.i.i.ii.i.i.i.i.i.iirii.ii.i.t.ii.i.t.iiti ilM.i iiimiimiiiiimiMiiiiimiiiumimmii iiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiii,= S i.iiniii, i.iin i.iiiiii.t.iiii.i.i.i.t.M.i un iiiiniiimiiiiimimmiiiiimiiiiiimm limmim 11 iiiimiiiiiimiiimiiimiiiiiiimmimiiiiiimiiiiiiiii s
