MELBOURNE CUP.

The entries for this race also closed on Monday, and as in the case of the Caulfield Cup a falling off is observable, there being 128 nominated as against 137 last year. Mr D. O’Brien is the only New Zealand owner who has come to the front, he having nominated Launceston and Loyalty ; but New Zealand breeding is represented by Strathmore by Nordenfeldt —Ouida; Zalinski by Nordenfeldt —Frailty : Sternchaser by Nordenfeldt— Crinoline; Ilium by Albany —Helena; All 'There by Leoninus —Lyre ; Carnage by Nordenfeldt —Mersey ; Steadfast by Nordenfeldt —Nelly Moore ; Matai by St. Leger—Raupo; and Havoc by ’ Nordenfeldt —Frailty. s .
