SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

THE ST. LEGER DAY.

There are always features pertaining to the great races of
the year which prevent the record of them lapsing into the
dull detail of routine events.

The Derby and the St. Leger have each their distinctive
history, and though there may be a stereotyped similarity
in some of the details, yet the chief actors in the scene
stand ont with a marked individuality always fresh and
new. Last year we were chronicling a story of which Lord
Clifden was the hero. To-day it is Blair Athol and Gene-
ral Peel, whose achievements created an excitement as to
the respective merits of the two hnrses scarcely paralleled.
It was only on the Town Moor of Doncaster that the ques-
tion of whether the Derby was a true run race, whether
too much was not made of the General in the early part of
it, and whether the course here would not suit him better
than the Epsom Downs, could be decided.
Among the vast crowd that thronged the streets of Don-
caster from an early hour, but two names, those of the
favourites were on every lip :—" Would Sam Scott win
the Leger, or would it go to Melton ?" Nobody seemed to
think of another destination for the prize, despite the claims
of the Miner, for had not the Wizard a second string to
his bow in Baragah, whom clever people continued to back
despite reports of lameness and breakdowns ?
There are few more striking scenes than the approach to
the course from the town on the Lager Day. Confined
within a more limited space than a similar assemblage at
Epsom or Ascot, the order and regularity of the vast
throng, all intent on seeing the event, is a sight that often
as it has been described has always something of freshness
about it.

The weather, which had been threatening all the morn-
ing, gave a taste of its quality half an hour before the race
by a downfall of great violence, which robbed the cantering
past of much of its interest. The favourites looked magni-
ficent, General Peel a different horse from what he did at
Epsom, and Blair Athol in the perfection of bloom and con-
dition. The same may be said of Ely, Cambuscan, and
Baragah, the three that came more immediately under our
notice ; but the increasing rain, which drove in sheets, ren-
dered seeing anything a difficulty. In the midst of such it
storm as has not been seen :ince Flying Dutchman's year,
the lot were despatched in excellent order, the General,
Ely, Blair Athol lying in front, and maintaining this posi•

tion until the rain hid them from the sight, The detailed
account of the race is given below, and it is sufficient here
to say that on coming into the straight the colours of Gene-
ral Peel, Cambuscan, Ely, and Blair Athol were seen in
the van ; that at the distance a shout was raised " Cambus.
can wine," while the General, near tho rails, suemid rather
in difficulties, and Blair Athol coming out at the Stand
proved the correctness of the Derby running, and landed
the green and yellow jacket amid as much cheering and
excitement as could reasonably be expected under the in-
fluence of the weather,

Prescription jumped away with a slight lead of My Fancy

After one failure, in which Ely, Cambuscan, Miner, end
Knight of Snowdon broke away, they were despatched from
the post in a drenching shower of rain, which speedily de-
stroyed the difference in the colours of the riders, and
rendered it all but impossible to discern the relative posi-
tions of the horses, but as near as we could make out with
the assistance of the principal jockeys, General Peel on the
inside got away with a slight lead, having Ely, Blair Athol,
Baragah, Knight of Snowdon. and Claremont as his im-
mediate attendants, the next division being headedby Miner
and Black Rock, Brindisi and Cambuscan bringing up the
rear. After running in these positions a quarter of a mile
General Peel was pulled back, which left Ely in possession
of the lead, Miner going on second, Baragah, third, close in
whose wake came Claremont, Ely, General Peel, and the
favourite; but as they neared the hill Miner assumed the
command, followed by Baragah, Claremont, and Ely, but on
rounding the bend they were joined by the two favourites
and Cambuscan, this lot running in company to the rifle
butts, where Baragah was observed in advance, having his
stable companion in his rear; the pair, however, were
headed at the Red-house by Ely, at whose girths were
General Peel, Miner, and Cambuscan, who came on so
closely together that it was difficult: to discern which was
leading. When fairly in the straight Ely gave way, and
was immediately headed by General Peel next the rails,
who appeared to look as well as anything, but shortly after
he was joined by Cambuscan and Blair Athol, who ran in
company to the distance; when Snovidon, in attempting to
split the pair, was disappointed, and had to pull round and
come up on their right, which lost him some ground, but
waiting with exemplary patience to the enclosure, he came
up, and in the next few strides had both his horses safe at
the Stand, and won, amid the most vociferous cheering, in
a canter by a couple of lengths, General Peel obtaining
the second money by a head from Cambuscan, who finished
four lengths in advance of Miner; Ely was fifth, Baragah
sixth, Brindisi seventh, and Knight of Snowdon next.
Black Rook and Claremont trotted in the last two.

After a tedious delay at the post they were despatched to
a fair start, Tesane immediately showing in front with
Scheldt, Audax, Rialto, and 'keener in attendance. The
leader went on increasing the !stance to the stand, where
he had all his horses safe, and with only Mr Peck's colt
near him won in a canter by two lengths; Furze Chat finish-
ing three-quarters of a length from Exceller. Mongrel was
fourth, Audax fifth. The rest finished in a cluster.

The Mysterious Death on the Metropolitan
Railway.

An inquest was held yesterday in the Board-room of the
Marylebono Workhouse on the body, by Dr Lankester,
Coroner for Central Middlesex, and a jury chosen from
among the principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood, and
of whom Mr James Brace was foreman.
Mr James Burchell, of Broad Sanctuary, Westminster,
one of the solicitors to the company, attended to watch the
proceedings on their part.
The jury proceeded to view the body, which was that of a
fair-complexioned woman, about 30 years of age. The hair
was light, and was plaited over the templas and at the back
of the head.

On Saturday
seen Rathileva body of demand.
Edwin Brewed, ticket-clerk at the Portland-road station
of
Railway, was the first witness called.
night last she came to the station about 11 minutes past 12
lie the
said ld
he ter ohpaodl i t
o'clock, accompanied by a man about 45 or 50 yeazs of age,
of middle height, wearing a shepherd's plaid coat and a felt
hat. lie took two third-class tickets for the Edgeware-road
station. Witness told him to be quick,as the train was due
and it was the last one that night, lie turned round and
said to witness if it had not been so late he should have
stood a glass of ale. lie did not seem drunk. Witness told
him to make haste or he would lose the train. Re called to
deceased to come on. They were the last who took tickets
that night, and the numbers of the tickets were 3,650 and
3,651. The tickets would not be returned to him.
Richard Giddens said he was the guard of the last train
on Saturday night from Farringdon-street to Portland-road.
They arrived there about 14 or 15 minutes past 12, the train
being a little late. After the train had started and he had
got into his own break van, he saw a woman tryingto enter
a carriage, with one foot on the step of the door. A man
was behind her, and they were close together. Re did
see the man enter. lie jumped
0 van
from his not
n and tried to
prevent them entering the train, but could not. fallenßefore he
reached them the woman had between the car-
riage and the platform. In the citement of the moment
he did not see what became of the man. Re could not at-
tract the attention of the driver, and the train went on to
the next station. lie did not at first
. a see any porter at that
side of the station when the trainarrived there, but he saw
one before it left. There was a ways one porter there, and
generally two, but he did not see more than one that night.
Wm. Clarke—l am a porter at the Metropolitan Railway
and was en duty at the Portland-road station on Saturday
night at 12 o'clock. There are usually three porters at that
station, one being stationed on either aide, and the other
going backward and forward. One was ill on Saturday
night, so that there were only two on duty, one on each side.
The train was due at 9 minutes past 12. Before it arrived I

was going up I met a man and
woman.
ean there were any more trains. ,
ran up stairs to see if there were any more passengers.
while That would be about 5 minutes past 12, The train arrived
I said there was one ea,ll way. I told him they must be
quick, as the train was due. I went down stairs again, but
did not see them. I aftorwards saw a woman lying on the
.wTasheupmsatnaiarssieAdsrl me if
line, I could not say she was the woman I met on the stairs.
I had left that side of the station to go to the other side. I
crossed over after I had been up stairs. I did that as the
train was in the station, and before it startcd again.
Wm. Rance—l am a porter on the Metropolitan Railway.
I was on duty on Saturday night, and recollect the 12
o'clock train arriving, I was on the other aide of the plat-
form attending to the re train. After the up train passed I
crossed over to the clt4 •ii platform, just as the train was
•
leaving the station, having heard the guard call " Stand
back." After I had crossed I saw the deceased lying on the
line, and I assisted Clarke to raise her up. I heard her
groan once or twice after we tookher up. Clarke want for
4 doctor directly, and I waited uutll ho came back. The

train by which the accident happened was the last to leave
The witness Clarke was recalled, and stated that he locked
the entrance door to the station on that side before he
crossed over to the other, and that nobody could get on to
the platform after he had done so.

A Juryman—Why did you go over to the up side ?

Witness—l thought I heard the up train, which was due
last, and so I went over. The down train was due first, but
came in last.

The Juryman to Rance—lt appears there was no porter
at all on the down side when the accident happened.
Witness—l could not say.
The Juryman—Dont you think there should be two men
there ?

The Coroner, interposing, said that was a matter of
management which rested with the company, and for which
they would be responsible.
The Juryman—When the accident happened one porter
was upstairs locking the door, and no other porter was on
the down platform.

Mrs Jane 'Wolff, of 7, Homer. street, Marylebone, said
she was at the Portland-road station on Saturday night.
She was in the last down train, having taken a ticket from
Farringdon to Edgware-road. She road in a third-class
carriage. When the train arrived at Portland-road she saw
a woman come to the door of the compartment next to that
in which she sat and take hold of the handle. The woman
beckoned to some one, and said "Como along." Witness
could not see who it was. Her attention was called away
for a moment, and when she looked again towards the plat-
form the woman was gone. She did not hear any shriek,
but she saw the guard dragging part of a woman's dress—
a shawl or a cloak—from among the wheels, in which it was
entangled.
The Coroner—Was any one with the woman when she
was trying the door ?
Witness did not see any one.
The Coroner—lf there had been any one near enough to
push her you would have seen ?
Witness—Oh, yes. The train was in motion when the
woman had hold of the door. She did not get it open.
A Juryman—Did you see any man trying to get into a
carriage ?
Witness—No.

The guard Giddens said he had never hold of the woman's
dress.

Mrs Wolff said she could not have been mistaken. She
swore positively that a shawl, or cloak,' was pulled from
among the wheels and laid on the platform.
Mr Burchell, the solicitor, eaid he had not hoard of that
before, and that no part of a woman's dress was found on
the platform.
The guard, in reply to the Coroner, said he had his flag
in his hand while the train was leaving the station.
The Coroner asked Mrs Wolff if she could have mis •
taken the flag for what she thought was part of a
woman's dress.

Mrs Wolff replied that was possible. She added that if
there was a man with the woman he must have got into a
carriage.

Mr Burchell produced a ticket, bearing the number 3,650
and a cancelled mark, which he understood had been given
up at the Edgware station; and the ticket clerk at the
Portland-road station identified it as one of the two which
he had given to the man and woman in question. It ought,
he said, to have been given up at the Edgeware station.
The Coroner—Then the person who took it must have
gone on to the Edgware-road station ?
The ticket clerk replied that the ticket could not have
available for any station beyond that.
Mr Burchell said it must have been delivered up at a
station beyond the Portland-road, and the same night too,

as that was the last train.
In reply to the foreman, the summoning officer said the
other ticket had nit been found.

The Coroner remarked that it was very odd that other
persons besides Mrs Wolff had not oome forward to state
what they knew cn this occasion, for many people in the
train and at the station roust have seen the occurrence.

Mr Thomas Sear, of 105, Hampstead-road, said ho was
at the Portland-road station on Saturday night, and •was a
passenger in the last down train from Gower-street to
Biskop's-road. After the train had started at Portland-
road he saw a man, dressed in dark clothes, on his hands
and knees on the platform, and about five or six yards be-
hind the train. The man was not a porter, for ho was not
in the dress of one. Witness was in the second compart•
leant of the last carriage from the engine. lie knew
nothing of the accident at that time.
Rance was recalled, and, in reply to the coroner, said on
crossing over to the down.platfurm he got on to it on his
hands and knees.

Mr Isaac N. Jakins, a surgeon, deposed that he was called
to see the deceased about half-past 12 o'clock on Saturday
night, She was then quite dead. He had since examined
the body. The lower third of the left leg was nearly divided
in two. There was a large wound on the thigh at the same
side, and the opposite thigh was nearly separated from the
body. All the great vessels were divided on that side, and
the wound there would be sufficient to account f.,r instant
death. The right fore arm was smashed. She might have
died from hemorrhage. The deceased was about 3U years of
age, and he thought it right to state that there was a shawl
or cloak on the body when he first saw it, so that the wit-
ness, Mrs Wolff, was; perhaps, mistaken in what she had
said respecting the guard. The deceased wore a ring on
the wedding finger.

-
Mr George E. Douglas, the master of the workhouse,
said the body of the deceased was brought there about 20
minutes past lon Sunday morning. Along with it was a
small reticule, containing a packet of envelopes, some note-
paper, and 12 lead pencils, with a portmonnaie, in which
were Oct in silver and 5d in copper. The witness gave a
minute description of her dress, but as that was with the
view to the identity of the body, and as it has since been
identified, it is not now necessary to state the details. He
added that 23 people had been to view the body for the
purpose of identification.
Thomas Crossley, ticket collector at the Edgware-road
station, said the cancelled ticket produced by Mr Burchell
appeared to have been delivered up there on the 10th inst.,
but he could not say at what time of the day or night.
Mr Henry Fisher, acting for the general manager of the
line in his absence, explained that the ticket in question
had been found in a bundle returned from the Edgware
station.

George French, the ticket collector at the Portland-road
station, said he could not have collected that ticket, and no
one had passed without a ticket.

The Coroner said it was a great point that the man should
be found, and he hoped any questions that might occur to
the jury might be recorded by the press.
Mr Brewer was called, and said he did not think the man
to whom he issued the tickets talked like a foreigner or with
any peculiar accent.

Mr Charles Samuel Swift, of 15A, Cleveland-street, a
juryman, said he was a stationer, and on Saturday last some
ono bought pencils of him exactly like those now produced;
indeed, he believed they were the identical pencils. They
were of white wood, and had stains on them like stains of
blood, but they were stains of logwood. They were bought
by a shabbily-dressed man, who had the appearance of a

foreigner.
Mr Burchell said the authorities of the Metropolitan
Railway were most anxious to give every facility to the
inquiry. That was the first person who had been killed on
the line, out of an enormous number of people who had tra-
veiled on it during the twenty months it had been open.
The Coroner adjourned the inquest until three o'clock on
Monday, the 3d of October, remarking, as he did so, that it
was much to be desired that persons who had seen the
occurrence at the Portland-road station would come forward
and state what they knew about it.

ADDITIONAL PAR TICULA.RS.
The coroner and jury had not left the inquest room
more than five or ten minutes when, amid great ex-
citement, a respectable-looking elderly man made his ap-
pearance, and said he had been to the dead-house and iden-
tified :the body as that of his daughter. He stated his
name to be Mr C. Priohard, upholsterer and undertaker, of
No. 3, Crescent-street, Euston• square, and Adam and Eve-
yard,Euston-road, and said the matter had been brought to
his knowledge within the last hour, under the following
circumstances :—While at dinner that day he sent for a
paper to read an account of the Foresters' fete at Lord's
Cricket Ground on Monday, and his eye lighted on the
paragraph headed " Mysterious Death on the Metropolitan
Railway," containing a description of the deceased woman,
He at once recognised it as that of his daughter. He has-
tened to Marylebone Workhouse, where he found his sur-
mises to be too true, and that the body of the deceased was
really that of his child,
Mr Prichard then made to those present the following
statement ;—lie said her name is Emma Jane Gollep, aged
33, the wife of Henry Gollop, a cabinetmaker to trade, re-
siding at 15, Harrow-street, Lisson-grove. They have three
children, one 11, another six, and one three years of age.
Her husband was an invalid and in very bad circumstances.
She had unfortunately formed a connexion with a married
man named Henry Powell, an organpipemaker, working,
he believed, at Messrs Gray and Davidson's, or some other
organbuilders, in or near the Euston-road. On Saturday
night, between 11 and 12, his son and daughter were having
something to drink with him, Mr Prichard, at the Adam
and Eve publichouse, near the Hampstead-road, and she
went cff in a bit of a huff, and threatened to go to her aunt,
from whom she had some expectations. Her husband left
to go by the train, and on Monday morning his son in law
came to him and said he believed his wife had gone off to
her aunt's, as she had not come home ; but he added that
while ho was in the train and just as he was moving off
towards Baker-street he saw her and that fellow Powell
together on the platform, and had he seen her before the
train started he would have got out of the carriage and
made her get in. They had heard nothing of the occurrence
till he had read it that day in the papers.
Subsequently SQVCIQ other relatives arrived, and with them
