A vast number of visitors attended—' both inter-State and country. The trains were crowded, and all accommodation in Melbourne was taxed to■ the utmost,'while there, was. a terrific. strain on the railway' rolling, stock. All the roads leading to Flemington were. seething with traffic.'The Victoria Eacing.Club Committee entertained a distinguished company at luncheon,'.including' the • Giovernor-General (Lord Dudley) and Lady Dudley, Sir T. Gibson Carmichael (Governor of Victoria), and Lady Carmichael, Lord Cljeltnsfor'd (Governor of New South Wales) and Lady Chelinsford, and Sir Harry Barron (Governor of Tasmania). An interesting feature was the condition of tho gubernatorial equipage and the presence in ofie of the carriages of. Eeve'iiue, former ,Cuo winner. Crowds porired into the course, and by? the time the-Cup was run it was estimated as the largest attendance on, record. In many places there.was-a difficulty to move owing , to the densely packed lawn and grandstand, ,while tho flat never, looked duller, ilntense excitement prevailed over, the Cup, public opinion being divided in favour'of,Prince'Foots,,Alawa, ana Trafalgar. It was a bbautiful, race. M'Lachlan, on the Derby winner, watching-his opportunity, sailed home amid tremendous cheering, the colt having, won in time equal to best Cup records.
