The Express.
London, England, 1862-06-05 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING,

packed benches. All round the course the densest
of phalanxes hugged the ropes, the course itself
was so thronged as to be almost impassable, and the
outer country and distant " hill" were covered
with carriages and company. Every one looked
happy or was sedulously attempting to make him
or herself so in the time-honoured,traditional, truly
Britannic man tier. From the rarest of Derby luxuries
down to humble bread and cheese--we fear we must,
in some cases, add onions—every one was fortifying
himself against the shock of too sudden excite-
ment, and mastication prevailed over the face of
the land. There were few or no jugglers or acro-
bats, the fact being that there was no room for
them ; but " Aunt Sally," being a lady, bad secured
a few remote corners, and an °wagons] crack of a
rifle indicated that the volunteer movement still
had its enthusiastic supporters.
Everyone knows how the Derby comes off at last,
and were it not that we have so many strangers
amongst us just now, we should not think it neces-
sary to repeat the story. And yet, the clearing of
the course is a fine military movement, reflecting
infinite credit on the strategic skill of Field Marshal
Walker, from Scotland-yard, whose annual duty it
is to direct the operation. At first, the marshal
himself and his fine black horse seem as if both
would be swept away by the swaying crowd ;
soon, however, he stretches forth his hand,
and issued his orders, against which there
is no appeal—at least until after the race—
when the most persecuted of his victims prefer
going to dinner. Parties of very strong policemen
are despatched, some to the ends, some to the
sided and some to the middle of the course. By
these the crowd is gradually driven in, with loud
but not uncivil shouts, like the game at a highland
hunting match, and on they come, laughing,
tumbling, hustling, but neither swearing nor
fighting, to where the field-marshal himself keeps
guard over a place of exit, which must be of some-
what similar lateral dimensions to Mahomet's bridge
into Paradise. Through that narrow turnstile
they must all go, no matter what may be the
personal obstacles. If sixteen-stone sticks, the
field-marshal politely requests twelve-stone to
" bunk" him through, and so they all gradually
disappear, until the course is at last as smooth and
as clear, but, this year, not as green as a billiard
table. A little firmness, a great deal of civility,
and the tact which only long experience can give,
has done it all, and the field-marshal sits his
horse, the satisfied monarch of all be surveys. Soon,
however, a thousand frantic voices from the Grand
Stand, some of them with a very aristocratic
cadence, call his attention to a little Sebastopol in
front, in which a select party had ensconced them-
selves, totally forgetful of the fact that in too doing
they secured for themselves a good view of the
winning-post at the expense of hundreds whom they
shut out from that centre of interest A general
of division, known in "the force" as Inspector
Eccles, is sent to dislodge the garrison ; but the
latter, fancying themselves secure in their exalted
position, first suggest the propriety of the inspector
taking a sight, and then expostulate feelingly ou
the necessities of theme and the privileges of the
British subject It's all of no use ;in a moment
the inspector takes the place by escalade, and the
garrison is lugged out without any of the honours
of war, bat amid the loud cheers of the fashionable
occupants of the Grand Stand, who we feel confi-
dent voted both the field-marshal and his general
of division pieces of plate on the spot.
Then came the bell, and the shouting, and the
false starts. " They're off !" " No," " Bucludone
leads," "The Marquis has it," "They're all in •
ruck," " Five to one," " Five to two," " Twenty
to anything you like." Pencils are dug convul-
sively into note-books, neck/ are strained,
glasses are levelled, frantic shouts rend the
air. The ground begins to tremble at the
Grand Stand, and the horses oome thundering
down. Gay colours, yellow, red, green, blue--every-
thing, including Owen Jones's three primaries,
dance madly past People look to their cards, but
they have got the wrong side up, and it's all about
somebody's razors. They turn them furiously, and
—the horses are gone ! There is a number 17
stuck up at the winning•poet, and a thousand people
who are in too great a hurry and excitement to be
particular about their vowels shout, or scream, or
bellow that "C'ractacus" is winner of the Derby.

(mom OUR 'minim

Englishmen have once more revelled in their
national carnival, and as was predicted by those conversant
with tnrl matters, the great fete upon Epsom Downs yes-
terday, may justly take rank, in every sense, as the mast
remarkable on record. Splendid weather shone upon the
holiday of the people, and all the traditions of the Derby-
day were revived with undiminished spirit and enthusiasm.
The leading characteristics of the grand race-day of the
season have so often been described, that a
fresh recital would be superfluous. Need we say that
from an early hot— the metropolis was astir,
and that from mews and livery yards emerged
' '

the dashing traps that were to convey visitors by the
" road." Belgravia was in as great a commotion as it pos-
sibly could be, consistent with its aristocratic dignity,
while, descending lower, Whitechapel and the New-cut
were uproarious, and brimful of broad and vulgar humour
on this special occasion, which levels all distinctions, and
I brings class and class together to mix, as it were, in one
common pursuit of enjoyment and recreation. As early as
nine o'clock smart " drags" and four-in-bends were in
readiness at the appointed places of reudesvous for " Derby
parties, and hampers of luncheon and champagne having
been duly stowed away, preparations were made for
the pleasant journey to the Surrey hills. In the meantime
vane were filling, and humble carts were being laden with
pleasure-seekers ; and from back streets and alums came
people who, forgetting their ordinary work-a-day lives,
had determined that for once in the course of the year
they would give vent to their love of fun and sport. The
leading roads to Epsom were crowded with double lines of
vehicles, and the scene altogether was such as the Derby•
day alone can present. Travellers were gaily dressed in
light siphonias and every variety of light hat, while the
fair mix appeared in all the freshness of summer attire-
Flags, too, waved gaily from the rens, which seemed
to be accompanied by their own musicians,
and the strains of " Aunt Say " were heard
along the road commingling with other popular aim. At
Kennington, Clapham, and the other Surrey suburbs, villa
lawns and park gates were occupied by gay little parties,
who smiled encouragement upon the cavalcade. Towards
the height the blocks in the leading thoroughfares neces-
sitated the miscellaneous lines of vehicles moving along at
a funereal pace, and those "licensed highwaymen," the
'pike-keepers, again carried on their legalised game of plun-
der. Clouds of dust were blown about by the traffic, and
rendered that excusable vanity, a blue veil, a really useful
adjunct. Not only were the main roads thronged, but from
the by-lanes of the district poured streams of con-
veyance* of all description. The voyageurs enli-
vened themselves with their own ideas of wit and chaff,
and from all we could learn the grand stroke of humour an-
peered to be in asking each other " Where they were going
on Sunday f' and which was invariably answered by an
inane reply of, "Am I right, or any other man?" The
Japanese ambeasedors, according to previous arrangement,
went down by road, the party, with mite, occupying two car.
rime', and they appeared greatly interested in all that
passed. They reached the course at about half-past one,
and were received by Yr. Henry Dorling, who had • special
stand with retiring room constructed for them, though
the short notice of the intended visit from
the Foreign-office left little time for the perfect
completion of the arrangements for their reception.
The railway route, yid London-bridge and Victoria, was, as
usual, extensively patronised, and so admirable were the
arrangements of the company, that a fabulous number of
" specials " with returning " empties " were employed
throughout the day without the slightest accident or mis-
hap. The scene on the Downs has been often depleted ;
Frith has painted it, Empires has word-painted it, and that
marvellom spectacle is perfectly familiar to the public
Since 1851—the first occasion of a grand International Ex-
hibition—the attendance had never been exceeded. The
Grand Stand was peeked sr close as herrings with
spectators, and the bill was occupied by an ap-
parently inextricable mass of carriages of ell kinds.
The sun shed its rays brightly over the Downs, and the
coup d'ail from the Grand Stand and other elevated peel.

the saddling bell reminds us that the curtain is about to rise,
and that the business of the day claims our special atten-
tion. The first race, the Manor Plate, wee set for two
o'clock, and the Derby. at three. As usual, the opening
event was utterly disregarded by the great body of spec-
tators, and only created a temporary interest among open-
lators. One hour wee allowed for the running of this race.

interval was fully employed in the betting ring, and
by those who wiltid to take stock of the comps-
Woes in the saddling paddock. The favourites were,
se usual, surrounded by • large number of admirers,
who eagerly examined their form and condition.
The "cracks" seemed to satisfy all those who had invested

anything upon there. The Marquis—in "blinkers," as in
the Two Thousand—was the cyncenre of all eyes, while

The latest betting movements in connexion with the Derby

that the most noteworthy festers was the advance of
Bankston, from the moment that speculators assembled in
the ring, and at one time Mr. Merry's colt and the Marquis
ran a very close race for the position of first favourite, and
ultimately Buckstone left off at little more than 3to 1

great race the excitement became intense, and the anxiety
to Teem the latest slate of the odds sad the respective
riders had never been exceeded, if indeed equalled. Mr.

one horse ; and. it is not a little singular that the two
greatest fields should have mustered at Epsom in 1861 and
1862, the yearn devoted to the two great luternatioaal

Exhibitions:
It will be seen from our description of the race given
below that the Derby of 1862 proved • tremendous surprise,
and was won by • rank outaider, the chief ruing prize of the
season falling, like the Chester Cup, to an animal ahout whom
40 to 1 could have been obtained at the close. There were
several false starts, and The Marquis spin, as in the Two
Thousand, was as quiet as a lamb at the poet, notwith-
standing the rumours of his temper, and the fact of his
being still ridden in " spectacles." The favourites, though
beaten, were far from disgraced, and The Marquis and
Buckstoae,: feat and second m the betting, were sound and
third in the rece ; and, indeed, so formidable did the fa-
vourite look at the distance, that a shout was raised of " The
Marquis wins"—a cry immediately answered by the backers
of Buckstone in favour of the yellow jacket, sad Mr. Morry's
oolt certainly ran an extraordinarily pme horse, as he
answered every call of Granshaw. who had
been with the leaders all the way from the moment of their
entering the straight, came on, however, next the rails, and
overhauling them at every stride, won very cleverly by •
Deck, the Marquis defeating Buckstone by • length and a
half for wooed place. The victory of emplaces created a
terrific sensation in the ring, aid the hoisting of the num-
ber of this veritable outrider seemed to paralyse the crowd ;
but immediately afterwards a cheer from the speculators
announced the triumph of on. who had "served" their
books. Caractacus, it will be remembered, ran second to
Eleho in the Metropolitan Stain at Epsom Spring Meeting,
when he wee immediately brought into notice, and backed at
3'.3 to 1 for the Derby, sad he subsequently fulfilled en-
gagements in the Chester Cup and Great Northern Handi-
cap without smome. In the Cap, while running promi-
nently, his chance was extinguished by something striking
intohis heels; but at York, he was not only defeated by
Imhoff, but the Wind gave him 521 b sad a beating. At
the last-mentioned rustle', however, he was far from
well, and Mr. Sneering sew enough to convince him that his
horse was in • state of great bodily irritation. Caractecus
is by Kingston out of Defenceless, and was bred by Mr.
Blenkiron, at Eltham-park. Kent, in 1859, his sire, King-
ston, having died on the 20th of February, 1861. At the
sae of Mr. Bleokiron's yearlings, in 1860, be was bought
by his present owner for 250 guineas. The Dolt was for some
tame trained at William Day's, at Woodyeates, but on some
misunderstanding, Mr. Spewing removed him to Harms-
den, near St. Alban's, where he was placed under the dare
of a private trainer—young Smith. Subsequently, when
the boree's merits had been tested in the Metropolitan, Mr.
Spewing was induced to remove him to Raley, to finale his
preparation—where, by the bye, Kettledrum completed
his Derby "education" last year. At the Epsom
Spring Meeting various offers were loads to his
owner for the purchase of the colt, arid having asked
Lord Stamford'ii commiarioner 10,0001. and 1001. a-year
for hie trainer, in the event of his winning the
Derby, was such a clincher, that all further negotiation was
ended, the terms being merely looked upon as preposterous,
seeming confirmation of which, be was beaten in the
following week at Newmarket, in • canter, by Duke Rollo,
one of Sr Joseph Hawley's, also in the Derby, and decked
for it, though he did not rm. He was ridden to-day by J.
Parsons, quite a novice on the turf—indeed awl the lad
who "looks after" him—a mere boy of 15 or 16 years of
age, who has ridden in public on only a few comma But
it is only just to the lad to say that he rode with the tact,
patience, and skill of an experienced jockey, and has at
once, by a singular stroke of good fortune, leapt
into the foremost rank of his profession. Even
after the rain was decided it was still a
matter of uncertainty, as, on the return of Parsons
to scale, he could not "draw" the weight, and he was com-
pelled to sit in the scale until the bridle was fetched ; the
little jockey, however, never for one moment lost his self-
possession, but coolly and confidently awaited the result.
The bridle was brought, and amid great cheering from the
backers of the horse and the " fielders," Mr. Manning pro-
nounced the natal " all right," and an unlimited libation
of champape wu immediately ordered for the officials and
jockeys. Mr. Manning behaved with great firmness amid
the confusion arising front the supposed deficient weight,
and, with a strict sense of his responsibility, per-
' milted no one to come near the scale during the
period of suspense. Mr. Spewing lands • very
large stake, and his success was meet cordially received, as
he is • gentleman of long standing and highly respected
in the ring. The remainder of the racing will be found
amply described below, and we have only to add that the
journey home was se hilarious as usual, and that London
and its places of amusement, both urban and suburban,
were all alive until • very early hour.

Tar UM—The horses walked out of the paddock and
past the stand in the following order (namely), Surrey
.ding the way, Welcome, Ace of Clubs, The Marquis,
Malek, Vanguard, Spite, Ellangowan, Buckatone, the
Knave, Neptuna, Lord Burleigh, Mitchel Grove,
Nottingham,Gemse, kisharejah, the Brown Bess and Stock-
well colts, St. Alexis, Argonaut, Tolurno, Star of the West,
Brighton, Alvediston, Ashford, Harlequin, Scheballion, the
Types colt, Ensign, and Norroy, the bitter, very fractious,
a long way behind Ensign, last. After purling by the Stand
the lot went round the turn up the hill towards the " three-
quarter mile post " before turning to take their preliminary
canter, which was accomplished in four separate squadrons,
as follows :—Bt. Alexis, Norroy, and Argonaut ; then come
Gems, Exchequer, Ashford, Bucketone, Harlequin, and
Tolurno; at about a couple of hundred yards behind Taiwan
awns Spite, Ellangowan, Star. of the West, and the Types
colt ; whilst the tut lot comprised Neptune, Brighton, Ace
Clubs, The Marquis, the Cansisus, Stockwell, and Brown
Bess colts, the latter named many lengths behind. After
walking through the paddocks the lot came through the
gate on to the course, in Indian file when immediately after-
wards Ashford, Ensign, and Buckatone broke away and
bolted down the bill into the valley, and were some distance
before their jockeys could pull them up. rive false
starts occurred in which Gems% Ashford, Backstooe,
and Nottingham always appeared anxiousto get off;
Ensign, Sir Joseph Hawley 's pai
r, and Maharajah, de-
clining to go off. At the sixth attempt. the word ' Off "
broke out from the spectators like a voice of thunder, and
at 35 minutes past three the start took place, when it wen
at once seen that Argonaut, Nottingham, The Marquis,
Neptuuus, Norroy, the Stockwell colt, Cansctacua, Buck-
stone, and Brighton, were the leading lot ; Alvediston,
Ensign, Ashford, and Maharajah being left at the post many
lengths in the rear. On going over the bill, past the fume
bushes, a tailing off was even thus early distinguishable,
sod The Marquis, paring Argonaut, took the lead ;
Neptune, Brighton, and Buckatone, side by aide—third,
fourth, and fifth; Natinghani, Caractecue, Zetland, and
The Knave, beading the "ruck," who came on in struggling
order to the T. Y.C. poet, where Nottingham went to the
Marquis's bead, but did not long maintain his position there,
for on rounding Tattenham Corner he becks down very
bad, and nearly fell oo to his hdad, after which he was
stopped. Immediately afterwards Argonaut died sway, and
fell back into the rear. The Marquis, with Bakstone by his
side, was then left in command, Brighton, Caractacus, and
Neptunus coming on in close order next, Zetland, Lord
Burleigb, and The Knave beading the rest of the field.
Before reaching the distance Brighton had to cry a " go "
and he was instantly disused of, when shouts of "'fie
Marquis wins," " Buckstone wins," resounded from the
partisans of the favourites, the two possessing a clear lead
of everything. Just before reaching the half distance
Caractacus, having gone up and disposed of Nep-
tutu, appeared to be the only other animal
capable Of wresting victory from the leaders.
When the hill had been breasted Caractacus ran up to the
side of Buckstone, and before the enclosure was cleared Mr.
Merry's colt was beaten, and Carectecus overhauling the
Marquis at every stride got his bead in front, and despite
the brilliant effects of Ashman on the favourite won cle-
verly by ,a neck ; Buckstone was beaten for seoond honours
and the • century" by a length and a-half ; and Neptune
finished fourth, three lengths behind Mr. Merry's colt ;
Zetland, The Knave, and Lord Burleigh were next ; the re-
mainder came in in a cluster, the majority pulling up.
Surrey ad Maharajah walked in through the crowd who
broke into the course the instant the race was decided.
Spite, Nottingham, and Norroy broke down, and did not
get home until long after the others had weighed. The
Maharajah was merely started to win a bet which his owner
made that his horse would be among the runners. Run in

EQUITY COURTS.— JuNE 4.
(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
TITIAN A. RUDAOII.

These were cross appeals from Vice-Chancellor Stuart, and
were argued some short time since. The bill was filed for
an account against George Hudson and George Mould, under
the following circumstances :—ln January, 1854, Mould re-
quested Hudson to assist him by money advances to com-
plete a contract he had entered into for the construction of
the Santander and Alar del Rey Railway, in Spain. Hud-
son agreed to make the required advances in consideration
of his receiving one-third of all profit, which should come
to Mould from the contract; and oa the 4th of January
1854, a memorandum was rived by Mould, whereby he
agreed, in consideration of Hudson advancing him 60,0004,
to cede to him one-third part of the net profit. of the
contract for the construction of the Santander and Alar
del Ray Railway, and be proposed his cootract as security I
for the same. He also thereby agreed to sign such an
agreement as was laid down by Mr. Pears. at an interview
on the 3rd of January, 1854, and to assist in raising 30,0001.
of such sum of 60,0001. by giving such bills, by acceptanosa
or otherwise, as might be required. The defendant Bodice
accordingly made cash advances to a large amount, and ac-
cepted bills dawn upon him by Mould, the proceeds whined
were received by the latter. In 1856 Hudson assigned the
debt, or soma of money du to him under the said agar
ment, to the plaintiff, to secure certain mune of MOW.
The bill alleged that large sums of money had bees un-
nerved by Mould from the Santander and Alar del Ra
Railway Company. Mould by his answer admitted the
mensonseduro, but stated that it did not contain the real
agreement, but was drawn up lustily as the basis of a
formal agreement which was prepared in draught but never
finally settled, in consequence of Hudson being unable to
advance the 60,0001, and that by such memorandum be
did not contemplate ceding one-third of the profits by way
of sale, but merely instead of interest on moneys advanced;
nor wu it iutended that Hudson shad biome a
partner in the contract. In January, 1854, he drew
bills to a cowiderable amount, which were acceptsdp
Hudson, but dishonoured at maturity, and never
by Huson. Al nerwiude other bills were drawn w ich
were dishonoured, and as far as he (Mould) knew had not
been satisfied by Hudson, though he had heard that Hud-
son bad paid one or two of them. The amount in cash re-
ceived by him through these bill transactions Mould stated
to be 7,000/. only ; but Hudson alleged that the sums so
received by him were very considerable, and that he (Bud. ,
son) bad paid large sums to meet bills which he had ac-
cepted as aforesaid. The bill prayed for an account of
moneys received by Mould by means of acceptances and
other securities given by Hudson, and of the profits re-
mired by or owing to either of the defendants in respect of
the contact for the construction of the railway. The Vise-
Chancellor, by his decree, declared that the plaintiff was
entitled to the account asked for by his bill sad that
Hudson, and the plaintiff who claimed under him, were re-
titled to a lien on the profits arising from Mould's contact
for so much money as Hudson had actually paid. hall
this decision the awards were brought.
The Lord Chan or now gave judgment, sad expremad
his opinion that as Hudson had failed to make the Sipa-
, latedadvanose to Mould, whereby the latter bad sustarsed
considerable damage, the plaintiff claimiag through Hodson
was not entitled to any interest in the contact, or any brat
under the agreement in question. The ViarCheneellor's
duxes would, therefor*, be reverend, end the bill dismiesed
with eosia.—Appeal allowed.
