SPORTING.

THE MELBOURNE CUP. h'JW FOITKEL WON. AN EXCITING CONTEST. The Herald, describing tlie’ Cup race, •aye: A.’ the crowds, the competitors, and the conditions were unequalled in Ute history of the rare, it was only fitting that (he best horse in Australia should win. No result on in*; famoa:course ever provoke*! sucti splendid enthusiasm. The pace a: the commeiiee- ' ment was extremely slow, Salitros first taking charge passing the stand. with Poitrei and Kennaquhair at t' • rear. By the riverside; the three-jear-olds. Malory s. Salitros, Syce Knight, and Erasmus made the pace a cracker. Tangatnoma assumed command at the six furlung - po.-t. niaking . break. Salitros uus ini mediaeix .. beaten hor e ana dropped back. • i.ver Jim ran to ti. . trout at uie turn, but quickly vanishes. Krasinas shot o-.». a;.>» io ,k tc ■- winner, us.

Bracken rode a well-judged race outside ■c- field, avoiding interference. Kennaquliaii provided a surprise. He seemed worn out. and was second lust till half a mile from home. He then followed Poitrei through, and would have gained a place if he had a little Jurther go. The Telegraph spe-iul says: The struggling mass of valuable iioisefivdi. every nerve an.: muscle al the behest of the gaily liveried J iders. made B graceful sweep round the turn. Then a symmetrical little fellow culling down tut leaders till a mighty rvar fell from thousands and proclaimed the winner, tfulitnw immediately went to the front. Killom pulling double to keep at the back of th»- field. Eurythmic dropped .uto the miudle of the field. Ecarte was sixth, and Poitrei third to la t. Kennaiuhair being behind him. Poitrei was bumped into a handy position at the mile post At 1 ’A-mile post Eurythmic moved up rapidly ti» accompaniment ot roan of ‘Euryihmic walks in’ Eurylhmic wins!’ But a small, impudent roestnut ia i.ed int » the open and Bury think- dropped back. Erasmus and Queen Conieuy led into the straight. Then Poitrei boiuitW forward, the compact ball of muscle galvanising the ■speetata - usiasm. the cheering being deafening. The sportsmanship of th"-. • ..■ to been partisans was forced to manifest itself, and the result was that a regular cyclone of encouragement accompanied Poitrei to tue post. CAMTEBIUBY ACCEPTANCES.
