THE ENGLISH WATERLOO CUP.

[" Australasian."] By telegram we learn that Mr H. Gr. Miller's bk w cl p Misterton, by Contango— Lina, won tbe Cup. beating Mr It. B Carruther's Commerce, by Contango—Cameleon, in the deciding course. Of the previous pi rformances of the winner we find that he oocup C'l a very forward position in the Newma ket Champion Puppy Stakes, win nins; fnur courses in good style, and being beaten in an unlucky t'ril j n the fifth round by the Duke of Hamilton's High Real, who divided. The runner-up—Commerce—has also performed well having won three courses at t'ie Border Union Meeting, where she got lame ', and was then put by f >r tbe great event of the year. The position of the favorite Coomassio, was not mentioned

in our telegram. It is, therefore, impossible to even conjecture how a; v .d when she uot beaten ; by latest advice to hand th*? party immediately < onnected with her wer,; very sanguiue as 8 to 1 was ta* en to win thousands, 'he w: ner was also backed for a good round sum- 5000 to 50 bein.; booked in one bet ngainst Mr Miller winning the Cup with a dog of his own Both winner and runner-up, it will be observed, are by Conrad';, end uotu r - re highly-bred greyhounds. '■ he ill-fortune that y* ar after year attended the representatives of the 3outh of England coursers at Altcar hrve quite changed, as Mi' Miller's victory makes the ftfiir'h since the spell was broken by Mr Morgan with Mngnano in 1874 Dear Rrin, the winner of the Purse, is also by Contango, and was one of the best puppies of 1577. She is the property of Mr R. M. Douglas, the well-known Irish courser. The winner of the PDte, M sical Box, was much fancied for the big event.
