THE DERBY DAY.

The sanguine expectations entertained yesterday
el • magnificent " Derby" have been realised. A light
skewer early this morning only cooled the ground, and to a
trilling extent mitigated the dust-torment so painfully asso-
ciated with the road. The trouble this year is not
with the rain, bat with the heat. The dull, ham, sky at
daybreak was of that peculiar character which announces
erne ire heat during the day, and there has been earuely
• berth of air to temper the rays of the sun.
The cheap trains on the two lines converging towards the
Surrey Downs commenced running at 6 o'clock, and from
that time up to 10 • oontinuous baCC,I44OII of them con-
veyed that great metropolitan freight which annually excites
the astonishment of foreigner*. Judging from the streams
of people pouring scream the bridges during the mine
period, the multitudinous road conveyances which have
peened is the direction of Spam, sad the general aspect
of the streets, we fully expect to see it announced au-
thoritatively to-morrow that the attendance at the
Darby has bees even greater than in any preceding
year. Not °sly have the travellers to Epsom
seemed to be ini exams of the ordinary number, but the
general lutenist in this recurring event has apparently in-
sured. From the Elephant and Castle to Clapham-com-
mon the road was Beal during the morning with men,
wows, sad children, attracted by the extraordinary
threeg of vehicles sad the miscellaneous charectsw of the

OCCIIPMES. Epsom bas been described as " London out
of tows," and to-day that opinion seems almost literally
verified.

The gossip about the hailing horns this seers* bad
somewhat changed their rektive positions. Of the Lerbv
bones oat yestenley Nutbeene was most liked, sad it was
thought this morons be alight yet stet a better favourite
than Thonmaby. There were various opinions concerning
Umpire; but these who have bees to Leatherhead
were sweeter than ever ea The Wizard, and they said The
