The (ist 71bs carried by Star .Rose in the Cup on Saturday is the lightest weight carried to victory since 1885,when Fusilade won with the I same weight on his back. The time ,3.2!), is equal Tirant D’Eau’s in 1898. and is second fastest for the race. The dividend is the largest ever accorded for the Cup, and the jockey (H. Price) is probably the youngest rider in the Colony, who Ins ever steered a. w inner of such an important event. Poisedon is a strong favorite for the Melbourne Cup which is run to-day. Should he -win it, this colt will have beaten all previous records, ami will be stamped as one of the greatest racehorses ever > seen in Australia. Solution is still second favourite ami should inn prominently, while Blue Spec (last year's winner) ami Simoda may be handy at the finish. The New Zealand bowlers w’ere defeated by Ballarat by 155 to 134. The African footballers bwt Gloucestershirs by 23 points to nil. At the test match, Australia beat New’ Zealand bonders by 160 to 159.
