THE MELBOURNE CUP. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE. MACHINE-LIKE GALLOPING. “ ONE OF THE EASIEST WINS.” United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received Nov. 5, 10.20 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 5. The Herald says: “ Phar Lap definitely proved' himself the champion of the many thoroughbreds that have raced on the Australian turf, and is worthy of inclusion in the select list of outstanding gallopers of the world. Making light of his tremendous weight, the greatest allotted a. four-year-old in the history of the Melbourne Cup, he came through the leaders at the turn like a flash of lightning, and, taking full control at the two furlongs, treated the spectators to one of the most perfect exhibitions of machine-like galloping ever witnessed. The ease with which he accomplished the task made the rest of the field appear very moderate horses. It was one of the easiest wins in the Cup. “Tregilla’s dash was short-lived, and Balloon King’s effort was disappointing. Second Wind Continued on much better than. anticipated, while Shadow King had to exert himself to the utmost to take third money from old Donald.” DISQUALIFIED FOR LIFE.
