FOITREL'S GREAT VICTORY, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. , Sydney, Nov. 3. The Herald, describing the Cup race says: "As the crowd, the competitors and the cond.t.ons wero unequalled in the history of the r«-ce, it was only fitting that the best in Australia should win. No result oV. ti j famous course ever provoked such spiend'd enthusiasm. The pace at the commencement was extremely slow. Salltros first took charge passing the stand, with Poitrel and Leunaiiuhalr at the rear. By the riverMds llio three-year-olds, Malurys, Salitros, Syce Knight, and Erasmus, made the pace a ci acker. Tangalooma assumed coipjmand at the six furlongs post. Making a br Salitros was immediately a beaten horse and dropped back. Clever Jim ran to the front at the turn, but quickly vanished. Erasmu-: shot out and looked a winner. Though challenged by Queen Comedy, Allied, he forged ahead, nattering his supporters, who comprised half .Melbourne, hut Poitrel made a run past Eurvthmic and, catching Erasimus at the lait'-furlong post won by half a length. Bracken rode a welljudged race outside the field, avoiding interference. Keunaquhair provided a surprise. He seemed Worked out and was second to last till half-a-milo from home, but then followed Toitrel tlrough and would have gained a place if there had been a little further to go."

The ToJefrrapt's special representative says: "A struggling mass of valuable horseflesh, straining every nerve" and muscle at the behest of gaily liveried riders, gracefully sweeps round the turn; then a symmetrical little fellow, cutting down the leaders, till a mighty roar fell from the thousands proclaim tlie winner. Salitros immediately went to the front. Kiilorn was pulling double to keep at the back of the field. Eurythmio dropped Into the middle of the field. Ecarte was sixth and Poitrel third to last, with ICennaquhair behind him. Poitrel -bumped into a handy position at the mile post. At i the one-tind-a-half mfle pm(. Uurythmic j moved up rapidly to ythe nci-ompanimenl of "Kiirythimc \alks in I Durythmic wins," but a small Impudent chestnut, dusted into the open and Kurythniic dropped back-., Drasmus and Qu, en Comedy led Into the straight. Poitrel bounded forward, a complete hall of muscle, p'alvanising the spectators iulo cnihuslanm. The cheering lias deatrninn. The xpniismi-nship of those who hitherto l ad been partfewns was fore.-d In manifest itself, ami tiir result was lhal a regular cyclone of encouragement accompanied Poitrel to the post."—Aus -N.Z.
