The C.J.C. Meeting. SECOND" DAY. Chbistchttbch, November B.—The weather today was beautifully fine, and the-attendance was about 6,000, including a great number of ladies For the Maiden Plate the Fanny Fisher colt was made a great favorite after her performance in the Derby, The Cup was thought tO'lie between Danebury and Bedwood's chosen one. Templeton ran without plates yesterday, and split his hoof badly. Dead Head was slightly amiss on Sunday, and Logan would have scratched him for the Derby but for the sake of giving his backers a start for their money. Great delight was expressed at the upset Of the Danebury party in the Derby, as they had not dreamed of Songster bowling Fallacy over, and had been taking liberties with Bedwood's colt. Guy Fawkes' performance in the C. J. C. Handicap yesterday was truly wonderful, his correct time being Smin. 41 l-10th sec, the official time, 3min. 40Jsec.

Going round, EaJlacy di;ew up to the Fanny Fisher colt, Middleton also getting nearly on terms with the leader, Titania some lengths behind, and Lady of the Lake toiling in the rea~. At the mile the Fanny Fisher colt fell back third, and Middleton and Fallacy raced up the straight together neck and neck. Walters' colt came again, but could get no nearer than two lengths of the leaders, and the interest centred in these two. Webb's colt gradually wore down lhe chesnut filly, and won a fast race by a neck. Time—2 min. 45sec. The next race was the Cup, for which were scratched, Templeton,- Aiiel, Fanny Fisher colt, and Fallacy. There was brisk betting on ttiis event, everything being more ot less supported.

This order was kept past the stand, ut at the mile Dauebury passed Cloth of Gold and went on in pursuit cf Pungawerewere, Bedwood's pair still lying behind. Opposite the side of the course Cloth of Gold wentnp to the leaders momentarily, but had shot his bolt, and gave way to Guy Fawkes, whom Lyfoid on the outside. Half-mile from home Danebury wrested the lead from Pungawerewere, who had Jed t e field a merry dance so far, and Guy Fawkes then closed with 'he colt, and the two turned into the straight locked together, amidst great excitement. Danebury began to falter, and just at reaching the rails Wattie commenced to flog him. Guy, however, on whom Lyford was sitting almost still, was here let out, and he shot in a comfortable winner by a bare length.

It is worthy of note that this is the first year on which a Melbourne Cup has fallen to a mare, although Musidora ran second four years ago. Sibyl is likewise a mare. We believe a local bookmaker, who freely laid ten to one against a mare carrying off Cup honors this year, has been struck rather heavily. Briseis's double victory, Derby and Cup, is unprecedented. The light weights appear to have been all to the fore at the close of the race, the favorites not being mentioned. Tim Whiffler's progeny has particularly distinguished itself at this meeting, the extraordinary success attending his blood proving him so far the most -euccessiul sire of the season. Briseis, winner of the Derby and Cup, is by Tim Whiffier out of Musidora; Sybil, second in ihe Cup and third in the Derby, out of Jessica; and Timothy, out of Lady of the Lea. The three first Cup her sea, the Derbywinnerand third horse, consequently have Tim Whiffier as their sire. WINNEBB OF THE MELBOUBNE CUP.;
