SPORTING.
THE DEATH OF CARBINE. fSt EUKJTWO TILIGBAPH—COPYRIGHT] lUirnnn Pun Association.] (Received 9.20 a.m.) London, June 11. The Duke of Portland has offered Carbine's skeleton to the Melbourne Museum. Carbine was worn out. He had lived a life of laziness for four years and was destroyed.
Our sporting writer, "Cicero," says: Carbine (Musket—Mersey) was first raced by Mr Dan O'Brien, who subsequently sold him to Mr D. Wallace, for whom he won a fortune. Unlike those equine giants of England, Ormonde and Eclipse, who never tasted defeat, Musket's son was beaten ten tunes out of forty-one starts. His most notable rival was Abercorn, raced by the Hon Mr White, and opinions are divided as to which was the better of the two.
