CHANTILLY SPRING MEETING.

(From Gslignaiii's Messenger.)
The weather on Sunday morning looked far
from promising, and the dark, low, hanging clouds led
to great fears of a wet Derby day. Those misgivings,
however, were not realised, as, with the exception
of one slight shower, the afternoon was fine.
Pleasure seekers and sportsmen were not, however,
to be deterred by any consideration of rains
and sunshine, and front an early hour heavily-Wien
trains—not less than seventeen in all--were travelling
down the Northern line. Long before the racing
commenced a ring was formed in the passage, and
betting was carried on with great spirit. Gouvernail
was very firm at 2 to 1, a point more being laid
against Suzerain. Gondolier was much demanded,
and not more than 4 to 1 could be obtained; and
Pietro, who only a week before formed one of the 2.5 to 1
division, was now taken freely at 1. Of the rest, Pre-
destine was the only one backed, the odds laid beiug from
Bto 10, which yea decreased to 7 on it becoming known
that he would be the only representative of the Dela-
marre confederacy.
Of the thirteen horses entered on the card there were
four absentees, Dutch-Tar, Sarcouf, Sardanapale, and
Ajax 11. Fordham, Challoner. Aldoroft. and Grinishaw,
had arrived from Ragland to ride, and Hue table bad also
come over, but did not obtain any mount in the great rice.
At half-past 3 punctually, the hones were brought out,
and after taking their preliminary gallop, were placed before
Baron de la Reckon*, who, as usual, performed the func-
tions of starter. Unlike last year, when three-quarters of
an hour was lost in getting the horses under weigh, the
lot got off well together at the second attempt. Pietro
made nearly all the running, and finished • good third,
as we had anticipated ; and indeed had he been less
freely made use of be would have been very hard
to beat. Suzerain was very patiently ridden by Ford-
ham, and after quietly waiting until fair in the straight,
was brought to the front, and confirmed our prediction
by winning very cleverly by half a length from Gon-
dolier, the principal representative of Count de La-
grange, which owner has not yet been able to break
the spell hanging over him in this race during the
last seven years, in which time his horses have on
almoet every emission run second. Gouvernail, the
favourite, cut up very indifferently when the posh
came at she end, and finished behind the outsider Murillo.
Tiberius, who started at 50 to 1, ran well for a mile and a
quarter, and is likely to pay his way over • shorter distance.
The posting of Suzerain's umber as winner was followed
by loud cheering, as M. Schickler is one of the most popu-
lar men on the French turf, and the hearty congratu-
lations which he received showed that this new suc-
cess of Prussia—the gentleman being • native of that
country—had excited less jealousy than Sedowa. Ford-
ham also came in for his share of handshaking, with many
hopes that be may have the same good fortune at Epsom,
as he has never yet won the English Derby, although this
is the second time he has ridden the winner in France, the
former occasion baying been on Count de Lagrange's
Gabrielle-d'Eatreez.

SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER AT FULHAM.—
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Diplock, coroner for West Mid-
dlesex, held an inquiry at the Fulham Workhouse rela-
tive to the supposed murder of a child named William
Davidson, aged one year. The deceased was proved to be
the son of Isabella Davidson, a domestic servant, 24 years
of age. A month ago she took the child, who was very
sickly, to • labourer's wife named Mary Ann Stokes,
living at 11, Slawburn-street, Chelsea, and stating that it
was an illegitimate child, and that the father contributed
nothing to its maintenance. agreed to pay 3s. ed. a week
for its support. Last week Davidson (who {snow near her
confinement) left her place, and it would appear Mrs.
Stokes asked for an increase in the amount paid for the
keep of the child. On Wednesday evening the mother
called for the child, and took it away in spite of the re.
monstrance, of a Mrs. Marren, who said that the night
air would be injurious to it. The child was
never seen alive after. On Friday morning it was
found dead in • panel inside the railings of Perk-
house, Fulham. Dr. H. Taal Lee said that the child was
wrapped in three layers of coarse calico. The inner layer
had evidently been stitched tightly around the child's
face, head, and throat, and had caused death by suffoca-
tion. The eyes and tongue protruded, and the nose was
rendered quite flat by the pressure. Police•sergoant
Stacey, 11 T, went to No. U. Caversham-street, Chelsea,
and there saw Isabella Davidson on Friday night. He
told her that he wanted her for the murder of her child,
and cautioned her as to what she should say. She became
quite agitated, and nearly fainted. Several times she
said, " What will they do with me Shall Ibe hanged?"
Another constable found • quantity of child's clothes in
the house, and Mrs. Stokes identified them as those of the
dosed. The y returned a verdict of wilful murder
against Isabella Davidson.D
