He said that when he visited the workhouse he found it neces- eary to arm himself with a big umbrella, and one evening last week his servant, while Soing to the workhouse, was bitten. He asked the guardians to prohibit the master keeping a dog. The master explained that the dog had now destroyed. In consequence of some tramps breaking into the workhouse and 13OWmitting a theft, he had kept a dog on tile recommendation of a Local Government Offteial. The guardians instructed the master that 11 ° dog should be kept there in future.

IThe Airship Mystery
I The Airship Mystery I FIRM'S DEVICE FOR ADVERTISING. The mystery of the wrecked airship on Dunstable Downs, announced in these columns yesterday, has been completely elucidated. The airship had been used for advertising purposes. In carrying out their enterprise, the firm used two motor-cars, one carrying the bal- loon, a 20-h.p. motor, and a lot of bamboo poles for the steerable car, and the other half-a-dozen cylinders of compressed hydro- gen. The first "ascent "was on the Chelms- ford road, at Writtle. The balloon was secured with ropes and held to the wheel of one of the motor-cars. Lights were put out or darkened, watchers were told off to give an alarm on the approach of strangers, and whilst the "steerable" was held captive, toy fire balloons were sent up to windward of it. and the engine of one of the motor-cars was set working, the "silencer" being opened to increase the noise in order to give the im- pression to any nocturnal observer whose eye might be attracted by the balloon that he heard the whirring of its motor overhead. Sometimes the large balloon was not sent i lIP at all, the motorists contenting themselves with flying a few fire halloons. These were the brilliant "searchlights" spoken to by so many people who testified to having seen the mysterious airship. After the Writtle experi- ment the neighbourhoods of Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and Newmarket Heath were visited, and "ascents" were made from those places. The last ascent was at Dun- stable. A representative of the "Daily Chronicle" bad an interview in London with a member of the firm. "Yes," he said, with a laugh, "this airship is one which we arranged some weeks ago to send up as an advertisement. It consisted of twin cigar-shaped balloons to which was of t-iii cigar-shi. attached a bamboo framework 40ft. in length. Underneath were suspended two large electric lamps. It was, of course, merely a toy airship. The arrangement was that it should be taken from place to plac« by motor-car and sent up at night-time. The balloons were inflated with hot air. I have been out of town for some time, and only returned to-night, so that most of my know- ledge as to the flight of the airship has been gleaned from the newspapers. As a matter of fact, I don't really know when it made its first ascent. All 1 know is that it was to start in Norfolk."
I Admiralty -Changes
I Admiralty Changes m 'I! s IR JOHN FISHER TO RETIRE. It is reported that Sir John Fisher will retire from his post as First Sea Lord of the Admiralty on Trafalgar Day—next October— (says the "Daily Express"), and that th,, King will confer a peerage on him in recog- nition of his services to the Nayy. According to present arrangement Sir John Fisher will be succeeded as First Sea Lord by Admiral Sir Arthur Moore, until lately commander-in-chief on the China Station. Admiral Moore recently intended to retire, but altered his plans by special request of the Admiralty. When Sir William May, at present Admi- mli-,simo of the Main Fleet, comes to the end of his torm of command he will take the place of Sir Arthur Moore at the Admiralty. The First Sea Lord entered the Navy in 1854, and served in the Crimean War, the Chinese War of 1359-60, and the Egyptian War of 1832. He has been commander-in- chief on the North American and Mediter- ranean stations, and before Lord Kelborne took him to the Admiralty he was com- mander-in-chief at Portsmouth. Sir A. W. Moore has been in the Navy since 1350. He was a PJunior Sea. Lord in 1901.
IPRIMA DONNA'S ESCAPE.
I PRIMA DONNA'S ESCAPE. Madame Sordioa, tho well-known American opera singer, will make her first appearance this Se.a;SC"ll at Queen's Hall to-morrow, under the direction of Colonel Mapleson. The prima donrna, whose anmial earnings amount to some £ 15,009, has said that the prettiest com- pliment she ever received was paid her by a cowboy after a concert in Texas. A snow- storm came on, .and she had forgotten to take her warm over-shoes. A cowboy in the audicnce volunteered to fetch them for her. She accepted the offer gratefully. To her surprise, he only brought one, and had to return for the other. Madame INordica. in thanking him, said she was sorry he had to make two journeys for her. Don't mention it, ma',am," rettirnect the cowboy; I'm real sorry you're not a centipedc." The div.a has had some alarming experiences on the stage. While sinking in the role of Brunhilda at the New Yocrk Metropolitan Opera House two or three years ago, she noticed that a leaking torch carried by one of the chorus g-irls was flaring danigetrovusly. Medaime Nordi-ca, at the I critical moment when a panic seemed inevit- able, stomped cut the flames, setting fire to jher own, sliirts and burning her feet in the process.

I 'Backbiting in the Navy…
I 'Backbiting in the Navy SIR C. ARMSTRONG QUOTES ANOTHER LETTER. ] I An Allusion to Lord C. Beresford! > Sir George Armstrong, sT?oaAing on wed-I nesday night at Kemsin?ton at a, Navy meet- ing, under the a?uspic?s of the Mdddle-cla?Fs Defence League, delivered a strong speech on the recent disclosures connected 'with the Bacon letters, and read two other important I document bearing on the matter. The first of these was: t letter from Admiral Mainn to Sir John Fisher, in which he said:- I return Bacon's letter. Capital! I agree with every word, and am glad to think Beresford and Lambton have not poisoned j his mind. The same feeling as Bacon's went through my mind. Why not have a pamphlet dealing with the question of the training and spread it about, for I feel with him that opposition to the new scheme as a whole is no more than ignorance? Am also glad to hear his opinion of Beliaire. I was speaJiing a.t three Lancashire meetings last week. I mentionoo your name at all, and the audi-emoe cheered, as they always do. There is no dofubt the country is with you. Sir George Armstrong declared that this let-tar showed beyond cavil that either Mr. M'Keima grossly misled the House of Com I mons or that Sir John Fisher misled him, and Mr. M'Kenara wo-uld have to explain to the House who was the guilty party. Only from Sir John Fisher's point of view could tho letter be looked upon as of any value, because it contained most offensive references to two most distinguished officers. Lord Charles "Bercrford and Captain Lambton, and reiterated the libel on Mr. Bcllairs. Sir George also read a letter received by him from Mr. Bellairs, who said:- It was after a close study of confidential paoers dealing with 'h* whole range of the naval policy entrusted to me by Sir John Fisher that I spoke in the Hous on M arch 1. It was this speech to which reference is made in the printed copy of the curious letter which in the course of circulation has come into my possession. From the date of that speech I became the target of abuse from all quarters under Admiralty control. Sir George said this scandalous backbiting upon distinguished officers was the sort of thing the Navy bad had to endnre for several years past, and if allowed t-o oontinne it would eventually breed into the service a. type of officer entirely foreign to its history and traditions, sapping its blood and destroy- iing its very life. I SECRET LETTERS, I Mr M'Kenna Refuses to Discuss the Question Mr. C. CRAIG (U.. Antrim. S.) asked the First Lord of the Admiralty in the House of Commons on Wednesday if copies of the letters addressed to individual members of the Board off Admiralty by persons other than Captain B-aoon had been printed and circulated amongst the officers of the fleet like those of Captain Bacon since the 1st of January, 1906. Mr. M'KENNA: Any such copies would be confidential, and I must beg the hon. gentle- man to excuse me from entering into further discussion on this subject. (Ministerial cheers.) Dissatisfied Crews and Armament Replying to Mr. Middle-more (U., Birming- ham, X.), Mr. M'KENNA said t-hat he bad nothing to add with regard to the substitu- tion of other anti-torpedo armament in place of the three-poumdcrs in the ships of the Warrior class. Mr. MIDDLEMORE asked whether the right hon. gentleman appreciated the fact that the crews of these ehips entertained the pro- foundest dissatisfaction, and in some cases dismay, in regard to the anti-torpedo arma- ment, and did the right hon. gentleman think that such crews were in a condition of mind to enter upon an action successfully. Mr. M'KENNA thought that that was a rather exaggerated view even of some mem- bers of the crews. He did not think any dismay had entered into their minds. The armament of ships designed as early as this particular class was considered satisfactory in every respect. Mr. MIDDLEMORE: The Admiralty are not including- the right hon. gentleman in their confidence. These are brand, new ships. (Cries of Order.") The SPEAKER: The hon. member seems to be giving information, not asking for it.

Powell, K.U., appeared for the parties, Mr. Lawrence paid that his lordship would remember that in his judgment he said: "The result is I cannot hold that the plaintiff is entitled to any relief under Paragraphs 1, 4, and 5, and the declaration must be limited to so much of the strip of land as lies behind and to the south of the land coloured brown and mauve on the plan." His (Mr. Lawrence's) point was that he did not think liie lordship intended to limit the declaration IN the land behind the gardens of the Mid- land Railway Company, but really to the land where the tramway went off the high road. His Lordship said that was 80. and he meant exactly what he had said in the judgment. After some further discussion, counsel said they thought they would now be able to I draw up the necessary order.

IEARTHQUAKE SHOCK
I EARTHQUAKE SHOCK Alarming Experience at Tiverton Tiverton, Devon, was ago, with excitement on Wednesday over an earthquake shock last- ing between a quarter of an hour and twenty minutes. The disturbance was heralded by a noise resembling- thunder, and when the windows and dvom begun to rattle many people were so frightened that they went out of doors. The ltev, G. C. Lowe, on-a of the bouse- masters a.t Blundell's School, estates that one of the boys in his house A-as in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake there, and that when the doors of the lioase begun to rattle at one o'clock on Tuesday the boy was sure an earthquake shook was being experienced, but wa.s afraid to say so for fear of being laughed at Some responsible residents, who were like- wise alarii ed, remained silent for the time being for the same cause. I have this morning conversed with forty l people, wires our correspondent, who experi- enced considerable shocks. Mrs. Chapman, wife of a billposter, stated that after her windows had rattled violently there were several bumping knocks upstairM. Her husband went upstairs to try and ascer- tain the cause. While he was away she noticed that the water in the weather-glass was moving about as if someone was shaking it Mrs. Chapman was then so frightened that she ran out of doors. In the north end of the town many were eo frightened thajt they left their houses. All the people I have seen heard windows and doors rattle in some places and crockery beoame displaced. There was not a broatli of air stirring. People agree that they hav-j never experienced anything like it before. The shock was also experienced at Whilland a.nd Bradninch, some miles away. Miss Janett, of Whilland, said the tremors seemed to come from below, and produced a, sickening sensation.

-I LEVIES FOR M.Ps.I
 LEVIES FOR M.Ps. I TOM JONES V. FEDERATION I TOM JONES V. FEDERATION I In the Chancery Divisiori on Wednesday I (before Mr. Justice Swinfen-Eady) Mr. Mac- nagtiter, K.C., mentioned the case of Tom Jon-os v. the South Wa-lee Minors' Federation, Ij which was an action to restrain the payment of levies, under Clause 15 of the ruiets of the South Walea Miners' Federation, for the maintenance of Labour members of Parlia- ment. Counsel said: This oafce is LOW set down. It came before your lordship ,-Ti the 12th of March, and on behalf of the plaintiffs I asked for an injunction practically following the Osborne case. Mr. Upjohn on the la-,t occa- ion said he was anxious to seek the opinion of the highest tribunal. I had doubts at tha.t time whether they were anxious to go on with the oiuse, and thofee doubts now seem to be well foumled. The motion was directed when last before your lordship to stand over for trial, and I aaked for leave to expedite the hearing. On the 17th of March the matter came on on a summons for direction, and cur statement of claim was delivered. His Lordship: What are you asking? Mr. Maonaarhten: To expedite the hearing. His lx>rdship: I have no time to do it now. I will give yoti leave to apply next sittings. Mr. Lpjohn: The case depends, subject to one defence, on the decision of the HOUDe of Lords in the ca.se of Osborne v. the Amal- gamated Railway Servants. That, I under- That, I u stand, is the next appeal to be heard. Pro- bably your lordship would like to have the diecision of the House of Lords before you before hearing this case. His Lordship: We should all like to have that. (Laughter.) Mr. Maclhven: The trouble is that the levy has been made. Mr. Upjohn: My friend has paid his levy of sixpence, a.nd has been doing this since 1893. His Lordship: There was some question before as to whether the case of Osborne was going to be heard in the House of Lords. I understand now that Csbome's case is next in the list- I Mr. Macnaghten: Practically, we should have been entitled to. an injunction, accord- I ing to the decision of the Court of Appeal. My friend, Mr. Upjohn, said it wae a, clear case. That appears to have been an excuse for delay; at all events, it looks like it. On March 17 a summons was taken out, and our statement of claim was put in. The defen- dants applied for further time, and got it on the ground t.ha.t Mr. Upjohn, who was engaged in the case, was ill, but I am pleased I to see he has recovered. Mr. Upjohn: I did not know I was the cause of it. His Lordship: As the Osborne case is going to be dealt with immediately, the manifest. course will be to reserve my judgment until judgment in the Osborne case has been delivered in the House of Lords. Nothing will be gained by fixing a day until the House of Lordi; has given judgment in the Osborne case. Mr. Macuaghten: Except that the levy is now being made. His Lordship: I will do this. I will give you leave to mention the case the first day next sittings. Mr. Macnaghten: I should like to have an undertaking to keep things in statu quo. His Lordship: I cannot do that, but you may mention the matter to me on the first day of next sittings, and I will then go through the pleadings. I Church and the Men. I CHAPLAIN-GENERAL SPEAKS IN CARDIFF I A mass meeting of Churchmen was held at the Park-hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday night in connection with the Church of England Men's Society, which is doing excellent work throughout the country. Oanon Beck pre- sided over a large audience of men, and explained that the Bishop of Lian.daff wae unable to bi" present owing to the death of his sister. -He was sure that they all desired to convey their sympathy to his lordship. (Hear, hear.) The chairman added that the Archbishop of York had promised to speak at the Church Congress at Swansea during tlie first week of October, and there was every probability that his grace would speak to a. meeting of the Church of England Men s Society at Cardiff on his way either to or back from Swansea. (Hear, hear.) There were 21 branches of the society in the Arch- deaconry of Llandaff and nine in the Arch- deaconry of Monmouth, and he hoped to see the numbers largely increased in the near future. Bishop Taylor Smith, chaplain-general of his Majesty's forces, then addressed the audience amidst frequent applause on the objects of the Church of England Men's Society, a movement which, he said, was a sign of the times and indicated a vitality in the Church such as had never been known before. (Hear, hear.) He had introduced the society into the Army because of the sim- plicity of its rules, to pray and to work; because of its comprehensiveness in including every school of thought in the Church, and because of its continuity in keeping in con- stant touch with its members wherever they found themselves. The variety of the work done by the society, here, there, and every- where, was remarkable. In one place he found that the members had erected a 1 church; in another they had organ- ised their parish in preparation for an evangelical mission; in another they had taken the Sunday services to soldiers when the vicar had been suddenly laid up with illness, and fco on. Their work on behalf of social purity was also highly important, notwithstanding the difficulty of the subject. Speaking on social purity, his lordship said tha-t ignorance of the subject did not mean 'I innocence, and knowledge need not mean sin, whilst someone had said it was far better ¡ to have a fence at the top of the precipice t,hau it was to have an ambulance at the bottom. (Hear, hoar.) He apeale.d to the members of the society to go forward in a body in the diocese to assist the bishop and the clergy in their spiritual work. At the close of the meeting the Chairman drew the attention of the audience to the meeting of protest against the Disestablish- ment Bill to be held a.t the Park-hall on June 9, when the chief speaker would be the foremost dtia-mpion of the Church in Wales, the Bishop of St. David's—(loud applause)—who would be supported by -the latest K.C., Mr. John Sankey. (Applause.) Mr. G. H. Cole, organist of St. John's Parish Church, gave an organ recital from seven to eight o'clock. BilL'S SECOND READING I The Press Association states that farther negotiations tock place 02. Wednesday between the Welsh Liberal members and the Prim# Minister on the Disestablishment Bill. As the result it may be positively stated th-at the Bill will receive a second reading I after the seoond reading of the Finance Bill. No pledge is given, however, a-s to; any other stages this session. Church Commission Meetings The Welsh Church Commission held a further meeting on Wednesday, and I adjourned until the end of next week. CHURCH WORK IN RHONDDA Re-opening and dedication services in con- nection with the Church of Dewi Sant, in the parMi of Llwynypia, were held on Thursday. The services were at eight a.m. and 7.30 p.m., the preacher at the evening wervioe being the Rev. D. Fisher, B.A. (vioar of All Saints', Cardiff). On Sunday the preachers were the Rev. Canon Lewis and the Rev. J. P. Griffiths, M.A., of Pontypridd. The church had been closed for three j months, and has undergone considerable ¡ alterations and improvements. The sloping roof over the east end has been removed and a gable with a three-light stone window has been added. New ceilings of "barrel" form, with longitudinal and transverse moulded ribM, have been fixed over the choir and sanc- tuary. The walls of the church, which were previously of painted bricks, have been plas- tered, and the windows on the north and south side of the nave have been re-glazed. The east window has been glazed with leaded lights, bearing a sacred monogram in the centre, with monograms of the patron saint forming features on either side. The old iron pipe pendants have been re-placed with; others of beatn iron and copper. The vestry ) has been improved, and a new organ-chamber ha-s beei-i iniroved, a ud a new or?-aii-chaiiiber work has been carried out by Messrs. Cox and Bardo, of Cardiff, under the direction and supervision of Air. John W. Rodger, M.S.A., architect, Cardiff. The parish of Llwynypia, which is one of the largest and most populous in the dis- triet, has no fewer than four churches, of which the Church of Dewi Sa-nt is one, under the o,%re of the Rev. D. T. R. James, B.A., and four assistant clergy.

-The King's Derby
The King's Derby UNPARALLELED SCENES-OF ENTHUSIASM For the first time in the history of the Eng-lish turf the King of England has won the Derby. The great national racc, run upon the open Downs of Epsom, where all may go free of oharg-e and feee fhe racing, has been won by the first gentleman in the land, to the accom- paniment of the thundering cheers of tens of thousands of his saibjaets. Twice before has this Majesty (when Prince of Wales) won the groat racc, but great as the enthusiasm was then it liardly came up to the scenes of public re joicing when, the number of Minora having boon hoisted in the frame as the winner, his Majesty desoendied from the Royal stand—where, in company with the Queen and others of has family, he had watched the exciting struggle—and led his horse in, surrounded by the immense crowd who had surged upon the course. Breaking through the cordon of police in an excess of Royal fervour, the enthusiastic spectators threatened to put a stop to tOO racing and to make the rest of the afternoon picnic of congratulation. His Majesty was actually patted on his Royal back by a few daring spirits who allowed their delight momentarily to over- come their reverence for Royalty. In addition, his Majesty nearly lost his hat in the crush, but throughout the trying experience he preserved an equanimity that showed how valuable a training is Royalty for facing every experience that can befall a man. Smiling all the time, he stood h-ediged around by close-etanding raiiks of his subjects, and by his side, smiling too, stood the Prince of WaJes, using his shoulders like a true sailor to try n,nd make a little headway through the crowd. At last his Majesty succeeded in getting through the den-se crowd and in leading his gallant winner into the weighing-room enclosure. When big Majesty had returned to his Fta,rid and stood receiving the congratula- tions of the Queen and the ladies of the Royal party the immense crowd with mighty voice sang the National Anthem. His Majesty was visibly affected by the warmth of the demonstration, and the Prince of NVeles looked as delighted as a schoolboy. After the course had been cleared it was found to be strewn with hats, which had been thrown into the air by their owners in the first flush of their delight. The ra-ce itself had been full of interest. When tho horses reached the post rain began to fall, but before the start was made it cleared, and the con teat itself was run in sunshine. The favourite held a good place all the way, but from the distance to the finish, all along in front of the stands, it was seen that the rice was a desperate one, and Lcsuviers seemed almost as likely to win as his rival. When the horses passed the post the result was still in doubt, and the verdict of the judge, Minora by a heed, was hailed by a great outburst of cheering, which came as a relief from the breathless excitement of a moment before. Sir Martin, the hope of the Americans, fell and was injured, though it was hoped not seriously. KING'S "BANQUET TO JOCKEY CLUB. The King ga-vo his customary banquet on the night of the Derby contest to the mem- hem of the Jockey Club on Wednesday night. Dinner was served in the State dining-room at Buckingham Palace, the apartment being beautifully decorated for the occasion. Covers were laid for 63, the Royal host occupying the central seat at one side of the long dining table. The WindscT gold pllttc was usaed, and there was an artistic disp-iay of tulips and oroliida in two shades of red. Among those present were the Prince of Wales, Prinoe Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, and Prince D'Arenbecrg. DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE AMERICANS. American interest in the Derby was greater this year than over before. Most of the large hotels and public resorts arranged nerws ser- vice, and when the result, wa.s announced great was the disappointment over Sir Mar- tin's failure. Large sums had been wagered on the Tace, and here was one reason for the chagrin, but the pride of Americans was no less involved than their pockets, for the hope that Sir Martin would win was cherished among men. who never saw a, racahorse and never ma.de a bet.—"Times" (per Press Association).
MARKET TAX ON MILK.
MARKET TAX ON MILK. HAVERFORDWEST DEALERS MAY RAISE PRICES. The Haverfordwest Corporation have adopted revised market bye-laws which contain, among other things, provision for a tax of Is. 6d. a week upon every milk-cart coming into the town. A deputation of mi Ik vendors followed up a petition by waiting on the town council to ask that this ta,x should be removed. Tbey stated that if they were called upon to pay this tax they would have to raise the price of milk to 4d. a quart. The Mayor: The Chancellor of the Exchequer says that the most popular tax is the one which somebody else pays. (Laughter.) In reply to a ques'taon it was said that three milkvendors using carts resided within the borough. Alderman Bishop questioned the deputa- tion as to whether milk was sold more cheaply in Haverfordwest than elsewhere. Mr. Jenkins (a milkman): It is sold cheaper hare than in many other places We don't say it is cheaper than everywhere else. Alderman Bishop reminded the deputation that on a previous occasion the milk vendors tried to advance the price of milk. Mr. Jenkins: Yes, but the council are trying to induce us to do it now. You are asking fo'r it. A' r. Llewellin: Do you know of any pla-ce I where milk is sold cDøaper than in Haver- j fk> I -,a we: ? Mr. Jenkins: Yes. but it is sold as milko," and not as new milk. (Laughter.) Mr. Llewellin remarked that he did not think it was difficult to prove that much of it was skim milk now. Mr. Jenkins: We all sell it pure until we are caught, sir. (Laughter.) The Mayor assured the deputation that the council would endea^°ur to decide the matter in the best interests of the milk- vendora and the ratepayers of Haverford- We,t,. Alderman James asli-I if the toll was imposed in other towns- Air. Llewellin said it was in some towns. Alderman James: I know there is no toll of this kind in Froe Trade Manchester. What is the reas.on for this toll? Are you going to build a new market, house? No," replied a member sotto voce. Mr. Llewellin: We have to raise the tolls to meet our present expenditure. Our present expenditure is already greater than our income. Alderman Bishop moved that the petition be not entertained. The Mayor said that, the toll would bring in a rerrenue of £50 a yfc&r. The Town-clerk said the council proposed to let the tolls until Mo^ch 31, and there was nothing to prevent a revision at the end of that period. The Mayor said that if the vendors raised the price of milk the council might have to consider the question of imposing the maximum toll, be-ca-use if milk was advanced to 4d. a quart that would be about 75 per cent, profit on the toll. The petition was rented.

Ra.in fell heavily during the morning an.d afternoon, a-nd the attendance was not so large as it otherwise would have been. The band of tli, 1st Welsh Regiment from Pembroke Dock played in the gardens during the afternoon, and there were various aMll,ementr. P.-rior to the opening of the bazaar Dr. D. A.

Notes -and Selections, j
Notes and Selections, j EPSOM, Thursday Morning. The weather conditions at Epsom yesterday were most unpleasant, but those who were fortunate enough to be present are never likely to forget yesterday's scene on Epsom Downs. Thirteen years ago when the King gained his first Derby win with Persimmon the soene was a memorable one, but it paled in comparison with yesterday's great wave of loyalty. The race itself was one of the most exciting ever witnessed for the Blue Riband, and it was unfortunate that Sir I Martin was not afforded a chance of proving his merits, and it is equally regrettable that he cannot oppoee louviers and Minoru in the St. Legcr. When the latter couple meet on 1 the Town Moor in the autumn the race I should be well worth seeing. The chief fea- ture of the third day, the Coronation Cup, promises to provide one of the most attrac- tive contests of the week, although there are only seven runners. Dean Swift, and White Eagle wM meet to fight their City and Sub- urban battle over again, but although the Dean meets White Eagle on 91b better terms, j the latter wa.s never the' horse that he is! now. and I shall expect him to win even easier.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL."
FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL." A wet Derby Day, but a glorious one all the same. For the first time in ita long his- tory the "Blue Riband" has been wou by a King of England, for his Majesty when he won the race with Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee was Prince of Wales. Minora's via. tory was not obtained without a. etrnjrgie; indoed, it was only after a long aad won. sustained olfort that the Royal colt got the better of his gallant opponent Louviers by a hoad. The race did not pass off without a nasty accident happening, as Sir Martin fell lounding Tattenham Corner, but his jockey luckily escaped without injury. The success of Minoru was received with uproarious enthusiasm by the thousands assembled, and his Majesty's smiling face betokened how pleased he w-a-s at the colt's victory. If the Yankee hopos centred on Sir Mai-tin in the Derby were doomed to disappointment, the Americans otherwise had a good day, Mr. Harry Payne Whitney scoring a useful double with Persons III. and Bobbin II. After the excitement of the Derby, the proceedings will seem tame by comparison at Epsom to-day, but with two £1.000 handicap:! and the Coronation Cup down for decision there should he no lack of interest in the racing. The CoT?.mtion Cup will bring the "inner and runner-up of tha City .f Sar- burbon, White Eagle and Dean Swift respec- tively, into competition again Selections:- Riddlesdown Plate.-S-NIOW LEOPARD.
