THE START FOR THE DERBY.

The complaint officially made by Lord Stamford against
the Starter, was investigated by the Stewards be-
fore the races at Epsom, on Friday morning, and having
been proved to their satisfaction, Mr. M'George was
severely admonished by Admiral Rous, and the following
resolution was ordered to be published in the next Racing
Calendar :

"It having been represented to the Stewards by Lord
Stamford, that Mr. M'George started the horses for the
Derby Stakes in advance of the starting post, leaving
Ensign and three other horses behind, we hereby severely
reprimand Mr. M'George; and we intimate to bim that a
repetition of such offence will justify his immediate dis-
missal.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

(From Bell's _Life.)
Tom King writes to us as follows :—Mr. Editor,--I was
much surprised at reading the letter from Mace in your
last Sunday's Life. ln reply, I beg most positively to state
that it was Mace's wish, directly after the fight and the
following morning in his own house, that I should not
challenge him again, at the same timo saying he was much
older, and would rather me go with him in the country,
and have joint benefits. I did so; but soon found he did
not act as I thought fairly, consequently we parted. When
the money was given up at his own house after the fight,
he publicly stated, in the presence of Nat Langham and
several others, that he did not wish to fight me again. I do
not wish for paper warfare, and shall not trouble you, Mr.
Editor, with any more letters on this subject; but do hope
that you will let Mace know in your next I am only too
anxious to meet him in the ring again, and do trust that I
shall do nothing to be ashamed of meeting him or any other
to do battle for the belt. With respect to my stooping to
dishonest practices, I repudiate such an assertion ; but let
Mace ask himself a question, viz,, what proposals he made
to me at the West End, when several gentlemen wished to
back me to fight him again ? Perhaps he will not satisfy
you or the public ; but I am determined to state the truth,
viz , Mace proposed that I should take the money and
divide with him, without fighting at all, I said, "No ; I
have too much respect for the kindness I have received
from my backers, and would not lend myself to anything
so dishonest." When I fight him again, I shall perhaps
be not so kind as formerly, and will stop him from running
away much quicker.than he anticipates. In conclusion, I
can only say the sooner the match is wade, the better it
will please—Yours, &c., THOS. will meet
Mace at your office on Friday next to put down more
money and sign articles, or if Mace leaves articles and an-
other deposit with you, I will sign and cover.-21, London-
street, Ratcliff, June 6.

Bob Brettle writes to us that he is willing to accept
Mace's offer of £25 to withdraw his novice, so that King
may have the first chance ; there is, therefore, no let or
hindrance now to the match going on.

At to-day's market there was a fair attendance of mil-
lers and dealers, and wheat and flour met a steady de-
mand for consumption at fully last Tuesday's prie=s. Oats
and oatmeal slow, and scarcely maintained their value.
Barley, beans, and peas sold in retail at late rates. Mixed
Indian corn was wanted at 27s 6d per qr.
