Even- 1 before the weights were at* |- fclarcil, I never anticipated that'Caibiue would fulfil his engagement in the Australian Cup, and it- was therefore no surprise to me to learn thbt the Hon. Mr Wallace had put the pen through his name. On the running in the Melbourne Cup, in which race Carbine carried lOst slb, aud won e.iaily in phenomenally fast time, Mr IWnard (lid not treat him uainerei fully in •lie longer distance- race, for while ho gave him 71b more than the impost under which he won the Melbourne Cup, he at the same time raised Highborn and Correze, his nearest attends in that race, l'ilb'aud I4lb respectively. 3?rom Flemington ' training , notes to hand- this week I gather that Carbine coutinues to stride aloug in splendid style: " Asmodeus,"? in the Leader, says :—•" The champion never looked more robust o,r in bigger heart than he is at present, aud is fit to go - into any sort of work, to engage in an international contest with'-the' great Bhet>n, Saivator, or any other foreign celebrity who would be disposed to break a lance with him.. I fauoy the weight of Australian gold would lead lo a shade of odds being laiu on Carbine against any opponeut that Euglaud or America icould pit against him."
