THE MELBOURNE CUP WINNER.

The mighty, scion of Musket and Mersey lias, by his culminating triumph, orhwned all previous victories, for, with the heaviest impost, be, within the shortest- time, has beaten every previous record, and triumphantly forced success out of adverse circumstances. Never before has a conquest been crowned' with such complete and deserved victory, and the record of the race will bo inscribed in the historical pages of the turf ill golden letters, .for its velocity was' so immense that it gave the spectator an idea of speed approaching to übiquity. To the multitude assembled, it presented a brilliant spectaele, when tho spirited mounters on their chargers, arrayed in gorgeous silk, quick as lightning, sped the course. In :the words of the immortal bard, one beI held— * \- ! A generation s a collective family ; 1 A. rase of youthful and unclouded colls Fetching mad bounds. It is pleasing to know that the people’s favourite was crowned with victory, more •o beoaeee the weight carried, which always forms a prime consideration in spot iog events, and is generally regulated 'i with mathematical precison, was thought to seriously affect the issue of the great event ; but the victor’s blood and mettle, his innate strength and durability, kept his antagonists at bay. It is the same with man or womaa t who, with a good inherited constitution, will generallyipull through a crisis, provided tho proper aid be at hand. Unfortunately, from the dnfant to the adult, all seem to be running a race as to who is first to the grave I Alas ’tis true, and pity ’t it ’tis true. Mr S Elugles, of Dimboola, Victoria, a gentleman well-known in connection with sporting matters, relates under date 22nd August, 1890, that four years ago he became suddenly completely prostrated in health, so that the impression gained ground in him that his constitution was breaking up. He states : “My liver became enlarged, the kidneys diseased, suffering as I did from a serious onset of gravel, while pains in the heart augmented my suffering, and the affection of the heart actually conjured up in my mind an impending calamity which I thought at any time may terminate my life. When resorting to Warner’s safe cure the pains in the heart ceased entirely, the enlargement of the liver subsided, and the disease of the {kidneys was subdued.” Such telling words clearly and convincingly prove that there is a remedy which enables the fiflicted to ride out of the storm of disease with tying colors, a sterling remedy which, like Carbine, stands a triumphant winner among a large field of unsuccessful competitors.
