KATCRDAY'S 1110 RACK. NKWSPAPKR DESGRTPT TONS. By Cubic—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, November 0. Describing the Derby, the Herald says: The line was quickly broken by Posio. Durdan and Cisco, while Crown Grant, Wilari and Jacamar were among the slowest to find their legs. Going out of the straight Jacamar got a bump which did not improve his chances. Opening up the river stretch the leading division comprised Posio, Durdan and Woolerina. | The last-named ran past Posio at the I nine furlongs, and Posio faded out after passing the bridge. Woolerina took the lead along the back to the sheds, where Radiator, Jacamar and Plaith were his nearest attendants. Meantime Wilari wws gradually working his way from the rear, and as Posadas and Woolerina swung into the home stretch Jacamar, Cisco, Radiator and Crown Grant were in hot pursuit, with Wilari coming through in fine style. Nearing the distance Jacamar forged in front, and his victory was loudly proclaimed. Inside

UIG poini l-JaCO put » vutJiu, <whj i/iic pair settled down to fight, but Wilari ' appeared on the scene, getting on terms 1 pre half the distance was reached. A- < grout battle ensued. Cisco had Jacamar ' beaten inside that point, but succumbed • to the prowess of Wilari, who, finishing with the greatest resolution, beat him * by>a oar-gop margin, Jacamar finished j st'his girtlk Jr' was a great' finish,! worthy of the traditions of 'Flemington. The Telegraph savs: All got well away, but Jacamar swung wide and was Last at the mile and a quarter,' Woo erina assuming control at the mil.. .Jaoamar, going great guns from that, joined Hadiator in second place. Woolerina began to cry a go as tlie home turn was readied. The fust to enter tlw home stretch were Crown Grant, Jacamar and Radiator. Jacamar shot out, putting up a length lead, and the shouts of thousands >roclaimcd his vie-1 torv, but the winning post was yet a long way off. Radiator, Cisco and Piastre, with Wilari/on the outside, be<ran to draw un. and Jacamar wa» un-t

able to stem their onslaught. At the half distance Wilari, Piastre, and Cisco) joined him, and from that a cracking 1 finish resulted. Though Cisco looked) like reaching the post first, Wilari made a determined effort, passed him in the last stride, and won, amidst great excitement, by a head. FLEMING-TON NOTES.

j Pukewiu i.i. I MELBOURNE OUP. (By "Moturoa.") , The Victorian Racing Club's spring ' meeting will be continued at 'Flemington to-day, the principal race being the Melbourne Cup. Latest advices from Australia state that Comedy King and Trafalgar. last year's- heroes, were best baxilced for the Cup, but Oadonia, .Taca mar and Bridge had many followers. Saturday's running should serve to send Trafalgar out a hot favorite, and the chances of Cisco and Jacaniar look blighter. New Zealanders will be mostly interested in the running of Bridge, whose brilliant victory in last year's New Zealand Cup is still fresh in the minds of all. Trafalgar was giving away nearly two stone to Comedy King when beaten by a neck last year, and now that the old: champion is in form and only 23bs separate the pair, jt looks any odds on Trafalgar 'beating Cbinedy King this time, Bridge won the New Zealand tiup in 3min -£> sec, as against Apologue's J»3min 27sec —the Melbourne (.Hip record, i To-day's field includes two previous winI ners, Lord Nolan (1908) and Comedy King (1910). Carbine holds the'weight I record, having carried lOst 311) to the front in 1890. Other big feats were the victories of Malve (9.9), Patron (9.3), •and The Grafter (9.2), but since the tatter's victory the light-weigh tsi have had most to say in the settlement of tlie big race. The following are the final acceptors in to-day's race:—Trafalgar 9.9, Comedy King 9.7, Cadonia and i Parisian 8.9, Bridge and Aurofodina 9.5, i) Britain and Flavel 8.1, .Lord Nolan and Sandbath 7.13, Jacaniar 7.11, Posados and Diabolo 7.9, Rififian, Rifle and Hart fell 7.8, Duke Foote 7.7, Woolerina and Cisco 7.6, Flavian and Didus 7.5, Prize- , lighter 7.3, Flaitli, Glue and Adgio 7.1, i Durdans 7.0, Mutilator 0.13, Ladies' Man i 6.10.
