AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. J’AI’A'I!US BEATEN'. XEAV YORK. Oet. 20. The international horse race resulted in Zev (America) heating Papyrus (England) by four lengths. Tile time for the mile and a-half was 2.85 1-8 seers. /tv got away with a load, Papyrus seeming to stop. Zev took the lend as they passed the paddock gate., and lie held a lead of one length until they reached the home stretch, where the Amorian jockey. Sando .called upon the American colt for speed. Papyrus was ridden hard by Donoghue, hut he laii-(--1 to get tip, and when he passed under the wire. Zev was running under restraint.

Few international sporting events in past years have aroused so much popular interest as this race, which was witnosed by more than 70,00!) people, ii being one of the greatest crowds in American turf history.

The weather was fair, but the track i was heavy as the result of rain, which kll yesterday. The previous uncertainty as to whether Zev would run today. and the summoning of My Own as a possible substitute, was duo to Zev not working well on Wednesday morning, and io his developing blotches, which, it was thought might be hives. The locomotive of tlie special train carrying My Own from Maryland to Belmont Park jumped the track, but so far as is. known. My Own was unhurt. WELLINGTON RACKS. A\’EL 1.1 NO TON Oct. 2d.
