The Cup horse Isaac bled freely from the

uiorninfr. Since hie arrival in Melbourne Isaac
has previously been eiinilaxly but not 6i> severely
affected. j
The following in the full Hit of horses
scratched for the Moonee Valley Cup einoe
entries were mad«: — Linburn, Saracen,
Tsssy, Grand Brifr, Halifax, Tullamore, Glen-j
huDtJy, I'irsc lioolka. Innisfail, Lady Laura,
Ua-Hsirus, Wantagom;, Selim, bioux, Merito,
and Froude.
I would ttrongly advise admirers of Patron
for the Melbourne Cup to bide a wee belore
plungin? on the eon of Olea for the two mile
handicap. I fancy (says a Melbourne writer)
that the cheanut'e fore legs are giving his
trainer some trouble.
.1. Fielder rude Paris in the Caul6eld Cup in
a IA Ib. saddle, and bad got a stone off his
fleshy body to come down to the weight. |
Ouida, dam of Strathmore, has foaled a filly
to Cuirassier.
Old Buttercup, the dam of the 'chaser King
Louis, recently dropped a nice-looking foal tv
Town Moor. This ancient mare is in Tas
mania.
I Tuu Swiveller was badly kicked when at the
poet for the Caultield Cup. The injured part
is causing bis trainer come trouble.
It is stated that Devon stumbled when
within a f«w yards of the winning poet in tbe
Cauttield Cup.
No horse was froing better, it is said, at the
finish of tb? Cup than Tim Swiveller.
! llr. C. 11. Lloyd races both Cobbitty and
Maladbite who are in tbe Derby.
When racing balf way np the straight, with
a good bold of Bruin's bead, Power had a look
round to see where hia opponents were, but
directly be asked his mount a question be abut
up like a knife and would not try a yard.
Mr. H. Oienbam, the leader of tbe rinir,
states that I'aris was the worse borse in has
book.
An Adelaide peotlMnan backed Paris and
Ruenalf in the two Cap double to win him
£1.001
Devon was purchased ac a yearling by Mr.
W. E. Dakin. and that gentleman always
averred that the son of Musk Koee and Toe
tV<*,t would turn out a etayer. Poesibly
boiora tbe Melbourne Cup is decided it will
\w pruv*d that iJrvoa'a brilliant performance
•as no fluke, and that he will be even better
served over the two miles than hia stable com
panion Foxtail was thought to have been in the
Cenlrield Cup.
Toe Derby favorite Dreamland, by Trenton
oct of N igLtmarr. is a brown, three*year-oIC
oolt. Rtandin? about 10.3 in bxight. tie baa a
very cweet, bold head, marked with a good
blaze, the near hind loot and tbe two fore t«-et
beiug wbite above the fetlocks. He has a nice
light reacby neck, perfect shoulders, very
[obliqtie and niorly miucled over the arms,
which am very good, aod haa ?uic- harrd,
wilt a croud loin, but is nut heavy topped, and
naa a lut cf length and liberty. He nas tush,
level, ruunded quarters, very nioeJy turned,
with bocks very near the ground, and well
under him. and is a wonderfully pood coll to
follow, lie is nioa aad mellow, but bae
eufiVrxl from strangles, which baa left a little
weakness of oon-titution behind thc-m.
The following hluudl by J. Fielder of how
be won Urn Caultield Cup ia tak-o from the
SjxrrU?icn. It ia told wiih a modesty that if
nut common with all Jockf js. It will be seen
that t i-sldrr doe* nut nay a word aboat bim
m-:(. but gentroualy pivt« all th« credit to tbe
little) hone. He says :—" As you know, Paris
sloud like a veteran <ja Urn mark nnar tne
raiie, Wbrn at but wo were sent oft we got
away in the (mitre of the field, and raced in
tbit position right round. This was. perbapf.
tLo bent thing that could have happened,
broaure the gallant little chap baa ouly In
m tbe slightest opening to make a dash
fur it and a rush to get through. And
bad that oprmiig oocnrrvd eariirr be might
nut nave bad rufboieot loft in him for the great
run be marie at tbe finish. An we went along
1 atill found myself blocked in. I could sec
not tbe sliKhtret opening—nothing but horvoa
oioariy packed everywhere. I'aris had been
all akinc; going so frrcdy and otroociy tiiat I
krpt aavius to myself, *If I could only get
throoch I could win br a coupla of leagtba.'
But the further we wvnt tbe more we were
blocked, till, nearing the torn, tcy mart began
to fail laex. It waa bard, you rce. to have what
tou frit waa an e>vm mocey chance, and have
it baolk«d in tliat way. All of a midden
dajrligbt tibowed ahead. The little Mlowsaw'
I the jr«}> quite am quicajr a* I did, and a> ooce>
marie- for it How be did gallop down that
ntraigha. lWoa was well in tront, and I
kept tbmkins that the distance waa 100 ebort,
the winning-poet too rr>ar. for melu catch him.
No: Paria wanted little, urging. He ksew
what ho waa wanted to do, and. straining
every nervr. be ju*t did it, tbe patce liulv
chap .' I repeat that 1 rrcion our Oning blocked
*o badly the greater part of the jounwy per
haps Kavc u> the race. None of our ntranjrtb
wa? ajMttit. Threw he if, as dean in tbr limb and
as guud ac over he was."
