bISOBIPIION OF TRR MFLBOURNE | CUP RACE.

[special to fresh association ]

Melbourne, November 0 In spite of the fact that the public were io badly bit thsy were not sow to recognise &.uraria A3 brilliant and glorious victory, and liter they got over the first disappointment it the defeat of Hova, they welcomed back ;he winner with the wildest, enthusiasm I?he favorite's defeat was a very close thing —so close indeed that thuse who bet mainly for excitement got more than their moneys worth out of the last furlong. Coming into the straight the favorite appeared to have everything beaten, *md the atmosphere was charged with tupp'ressed excitement; but half way up the straight Aururia, upon ■whom few bestowed a thought, came out like a flash from the clouds, and disputed every foot with the leader, and finally won fey the narrow limit of a neck. All doubts about Hova starting were dis pelled an hour before starting, and he left ;the enclosure a strong favorite at 4 to 1. The St. Albania party were brimful ot con fidence about Wallace, but the son of Carbine, although in a good position all through the toattle, utterly failed to keep up the prestige of his blood, and the way he resigned the laurels to the South Australian beauty at the home turn leada to a suspicion that he lie has a weak place concealed somewhere near the heart. Onward lived much longer than was expected, and uallam Mohr as tonished even his most enthusiastic admirers fey the way he held his own. Both he and Preston can be pardoned for theif retirement from the fray at 300 yards from home, out done by Hova. At the home turn, as they fceaded for the post, there really appeared to be nothing in the race but Hova. Hayes fumbled his reins in the race and lost a little ground. The big son of I.igomar faltered, and Trenton's little daughter put in a well timed and brilliant run, and being beauti fully handled by Stevenaon won handsomely ifoy a short neck, after such a finish as is seldom seen. Hova ran magnificently, and, though be\ten, was by bo means disgraced. Another feature of the race was the sudden appearance at the finish of Barrabari. He came though the ruck of beaten horses with a rash, and though he failed to secure Red fern a substantial stake, nevertheless the gelding's prowess and ability were greatly admired Waterfall also made a big effort, and provad undeniably that the Derby was falsely run; and much as his admirers regret he was not hailed as the winner, they have the consolation in resting assured that his colors were honorably born. The downfall of Quiver, who looked fit to run for a king dom, astonished connoisseurs. In condition, which perhaps is another illustration of the glorious uncertainty of the turf, Hopscotch seemed better than was generally expected, but the son of Grand Flaneur has a weak spot in his heart, and should nor. be trus'ed over a distance. Trentham displayed good form. The Trier failed to run up to expectations, but from the way Taranaki shaped he should acquit himself better ere long.

There was a splendid start and the struggle began almost from the fall of the flag. For the first furlong the field changed a good deal, Mahee holding the pride of place as they passed the stand. After they passed the stand and the part of the course by the river, Onward raced up to Mahee, I and the pair galloped on, closely followed by Rewi and Barrabari. Here the pace grew terribly solid, and it required a real racehorse to keep a place in the first flight. As they swept along the back Mahee broke clear away from Onward, while the non staying Hopscotch went up third, and Callum Mohr, Hova, Auraria, and Dream land ran up iDto good positions. A. few strides further on, Wallace made a brilliant attempt on the outside, but denying his breeding he soon died out, and Auraria, who was evidently determined to avenge her Derby defeat, left him as if he were at anchor ; while at the rear of the rack could be seen the colors of Hova and Burrabari. As they swept past the abbatoirs Callum Mohr wearied, Mahee ort of it, and an Onward beat, a retreat, Preston, for getting there was a bittsr battle yet to be fought took up a prominent position for a stride or two. But his time had come, for Hovik suddenly, with a brilliant racehorse like run, dashed up in the centre, and when tHeir heads were turned for home he waa in command from Preston and Hopscotch, and then could be seen the colors of Aurarit and Burrabari, while Warerfatl was on the rails making a despera;e run. Onward and Hopscotch then beean to weary, bat Preston and Lord. Richmond were still going strongly, while Waterfall 011 the out side was making no end of ground. An un expected ard brilliant spurt on th.3 part of Hopscotch played out his chance, and as Preston cried » to wearied, Hova cleared out from his fiell and appeared to have everything else in trouble. But when well inside the distauce Auraria settled down with the strife of buttle upon her, and fairly outclassing the pace of the big horse scored a giorioua victoiy, Burrabari a length and a half off third. Hova'a performances un doubtedly showed him to be one of the best j horses ever seen in Australia, and it is only to be regretted such an undeniable clinker should have been bo heavily handicapped by bad management. His owner must have bitterly regretted their unpopular and illad vised action in withdrawing him at the eleventh hour from the Caulfield Cup, which he probably would have won. It is considered singular that two three-year-olds should win two great cups in one year, and the history of the two races does not con tain another such coincidence; while the C/Aulfield Cup i« eighteen years has been on only one other occasion won by a three-year old, viz., Little Jack in 1882 Singularly' enough, too, Auraria is the only filly who has won the Melbourne Cup since Wilson's filly won in 1876 from thirty-three opponents. The Adelaide party won a heavy stake. The winning jockey, Steven son, interviewed, said he kept, the filly well away until the field settled down, and at last got alongside the rail*?, 'three other horses also had the inside running ahead of him. After getting round the tnrn into the straight the fieldf were all spread out a bit, and then the exciting part of the race began. He saw his opportunity, and rode his mount for all she was worth, overlook Hova, and collared him a little below the distance post. From there to the finish it was neck and neck, Auraria all the time slowly gaining just a little. Had the race been longer she would have finished further ifaead. fSrevensoa will bs twenty years csM it February. He is a native of Goulbwn IKiew South Wales).
