The "off day" at *nom has always bees 1101109101111
for the contrast it presents to the peat arrival mosses of
Wednesday, and, in this respect, there was the same sulk.
lag difference to-day. The which, on the Derby-
day, was covered with vehicles, was this afterucets all bet
desolate, a few of the pixies' donkeys and van home strag-
gling over the vacant 'peas, amidst the repose of emptied
luncheon hamper and broken champagne bottles. The
course had biome extremely bard by the traffic, and all
traces of verdure were completely trampled out. The
weather, for the period of the year, was quite cold—the
atmosphere dull and heavy, end at times the dust wee
driven up in douse clouds. In the betting ring the past
Derby was still the topic of conversation, and although Mr.
Jackson woe on d,t 30,0001., Mr. Steel was, we believe, an

THE SPRING RACES AT CO! STANTLSOPLS.-
THE MAWR' DERBY.

The Leine Herald of the 18th devotee a page to
a deeariptise of the spring ream held the previous day et
I the SWIM Wakes of Europe. The nerrethe is both bite
and unlike our own accounts of the Derby. ♦ Leedom
writer would not perhaps inform his Nadeau that, as his
way to Ewe, "a Turk drives our carriage ; e Greek is our
servant ; handsome, .ensuoue•feesd Armenian women look
down upon us from their casements; efflmyrniote, who repo•
dishes his Hellenic origin, pure type of the Levantine
'snob,' curio:dm past as on a questionable gray mere in
whitewashed cost and corduroy transers ;" nor that on the
road he peed "lamb with tinkling bells, salves* from
the CourbeeDeirem ; and dirty Bulgarian beggars, dancing
and piping, grinning and gesticulating ; and Turkish wens
with bright coloured fond* in ashes, ewes.' following
with repulsive aspect ; so deeding into the valley of the
Sweat Waters—the cold wind that penetrated keenly to
our boos" being almost belied by the fitful gleam
of sunlight which irradiated the winding strewn,
end made the bright-tipped minaret of the 8gl•
ten's mosque glisten like burnished gold." Sir Henry
Balser and Baron Pinkish were in good time. Now
end then s carriage came in with bright-eyed yeah-
maid Turkish beauties, end was conducted by the ennuclas
Ito the proper ew.losures. "Wistful looking Turkish women,
caw sad then sparkling with fun sled with a spice of
diablerie, bat more frequently and and plosive, staying,
doubtless, the higher consideration end more fortunate free•
don of their European inters."
The Sullen was to aeries et half-past 12, but his Imperial
Majesty was late. He came at last. " Outriders dash up ;
and, in an owe mine, amidst s brilliant swarm of the Silo-
Oar, that picturesque guard of honour which typifies all the
nee' of the Turkish empire, and presets every variety of
with:win its 'Merin' splendour from the Bonnie to the
Balsweee, the Saline, in solitary dignity, drives to his kiosk.
We have never seen any man more completely belied by
the pholegraph you habitually see of him than atbrlnl-
Az* He has rather en English, or indeed a Scottish test of
countenance, and brings vividly to our mind the memory of
a dear friend in ' Caledonia, Amu and wild,' with whom
we have had many a peen ramble by Loch Fyne
and Loch Awe, and many a tough climb up the regpd
Walden of Ben Nevis. But why art thou so grey, 0
Pidgins ? Thirty-four years only have peed over your
heed, and your hair is blanched like now. The black
beard, bowers,, the wall-twit form, the keen glance,
and bright countenance bespeak the prime of manhood."
The roes wen :—(1.) The Fend Stakes; (2.) The Military
Contest; (3.) The Sultan's Cup; (4.) The Lade' Can ; (3)
The Imperial Guard (Spehis) Stakes. The writer clearly is
eot deep in sporting knowledge; it is "the poetry
of the scene" that chiefly moves him. Thus of the seated
race we are told, " Five horses ran, although only three
were enured. There eau also a great deal of shouting and
swinging of elms amongst these military Chifneys ; a grey
horse won ; and although this description I. certainly not
highly perspicuous, it I. the best we can give ; and except
to the fortunate winner of the seed of honour, anything
further does not matter a button." And eves of the
Suite's Cup we are abruptly infor mod that "the fart that
both the rival bones belonged to San Ache took the edge
of the public interest in the nos." The race for the
Ladies' Cup was the race of the day. The riders were ell
gentlemen riders, well keen to many preset, and the
greatest interest and eagerness were manifested, as as
favourite colours, Dom time time, appeared. "Par • mo-
ment the result seemed to tremble in the balance; the
blue and white jacket and red cap of Mr. Whitaker crept
clam up to the torten and black of Mr. Routh; (sheen end
counter cheers urged each horsemen ; the ladies sprang to
their eft* end the excitement was at its height, when
Jessunt dashed pert Sir Edmond Horoby, at the judging
post, a length and a half ahead of Dervish—the winner of
the Ladies' Cup. Mr. Rose brought Mannish is third ; to
the rest denim lent *wheatmeal to the view." The
last race may have been (we reed) a very good
race ; "we dare my it was ; the result is best hewn to
the riders ; tad paramount claim, upon public men.'
The writer's inattention to the efforts of the Spans was
participated in by the Grand Vizier, who was renovating his
physical system et the same time. " The high functionaries
of the empire seemed to us yesterday conspicuous by their
absence, sad it was only in this well-stared tent et the clone
of the proceedings that we chewed to encounter hie Higb-
ee.' Feed Pace. A stranger, with preoonoeived idea', of
Turks and things Turkish, would lamely have imagined
that the pleamet, handsome, middle..ged getlemea in
elide fez and bright military uniform, who was gaily chat
Mug over his lunch, with a face, pertly German sloe the
forehead and spectacles, end pertly EegFelt about the dark
whiskers end beard dashed with grey—was the renowned
Foe Paths, whoquelled the Syrian memeares—es the Geed
Viler who tellueoced the destinies*. the Turkish empire
and then we awe to the close, to the return from the
Turkish Derby, and here must quote ones more. "The
shadow of new evening,"mys our clever little &WWII con-
temporary, " the 'gloarnieg ' is upon en—fair dew to your
cerrisges—to Lone, cavaliers ! SR Beery Baler and
Baron Prairie, lady Baler and the Princess of
Swim move off the ground ; and many a blooming flower
of sweet woineshoed who had greed the diploma*,
tribune or the Geed Steed, palms ineeelf cep Loeb-
icily In her enrage, sad nestle" down gaily far s swift
homeward drive. The bright sad veriedelogred fesidjis
of the Turkish women gradually disappear from
mound the old tower an the faced the hal ; slew Reel
Sweet Waters the cavalry clatter away, reining deeds
of dew zed the Lawn' peonage flutter in the evades
breeze ; English pedestrians, in goodly numbers, may be i
wen meratieg by, many of them wearing the a►aaetristic '
white dialudout round their hate, which, being intensely
snbeooming, and supremely useless, is presumed, by .owe
singular perversity, to be the perfection of British costume
in the East; handsome Turkish ladies, mistresses or
denizens of who knows whet harems, are got sparing of
their smiles sod eery pine from carriage welows ; ell
ie ',littering to. and animated erafusiou in trooping off ;
I sod et length, tired sod dusty, we rumble over the M-
end streets of Pew and ere at home. And thus paned
over the first day of the spring row of Coeseatieeple for
Mt, in the piesseet valley of Kieteng."
