CUP WORTH £12,222
H E Melbourne Cup Stakes this year totalled £12,222, besides the £2OO gold cup provided for the winner. This sum embraces the £IO,OOO added by the club, and the rest is made up of sweepstakes provided by entrants, and embracing the £75 paid by each acceptor to start in the race. The winner's share was £9,222, which is below the average of recent years. This is accounted for by the small acceptance of 16, each final acceptor of course adding to the prize by the £75 paid by his owner for the privilege of starting.
