THE DERBY DAY.

Yesterday, the 86th anniversary of the Derby,
will long be memorable in racing annals. Racing,
from a natural association of ideas, has grown to be
regarded as so peculiarly an English sport, that it
was with little short of astonishment at the temerity
of the undertaking that men first heard of the in-
tention of foreigners seriously to compete with us
for honours. Frenchmen, however, have been found
not only to assert their right to pre-eminence on
their own racecourses, but with characteristic daring
to carry the contest into our own borders, and,
upon what has been hitherto the distinctively Eng-
lish racecourse of Epsom, to put forward their
claims to the blue riband of the Turf. The with-
drawal, from one cause or other, of horses as to
whose performance favourable anticipations had
been formed gave increased prominence to the new
comers, of whom the most formidable, Gladiateur,
proved so successful at Newmarket that he sprang
at once into the position of favourite for the Derby.
The knowledge that the international contest thus
impending was to be fairly tried out yesterday
naturally added to the attraction which Epsom,
like some potent magnet, always exercises upon
Derby-day. Other racecourses have their peculiar
glories—Royalty may glitter at Ascot, fashion may
congregate at Goodwood, but Epsom is of and for
the people ; and the people onthis occasion attended
in greater force than ever. It would be a curious
study to trace the successive stages by which the
race has ingratiated itself with popular feeling in so
marked a manner. As far back as the days of the
Restoration there were races on Banstead Downs,
for we find accurate Mr. Pepys writing in July,
1663, that " having intended this day to go to Ban-
' stead Downs to see a famous race, I sent Will to
get himself ready to go with me ; but I hear it is
put off because the Lords do sit in Parliament to-
day." Whatever other difficulties Mr. Pepys might
have to encounter, were h now alive, the incon-
siderate energy of Parliament would certainly not
I be among them.

It is always difficult to know whether more people
do or do not travel to Epsom annually by road. As
regards the railways no doubt whatever can exist.
Every season the trains are longer and more frequent
than before, the ordinary traffic becomes still fur-
ther disorganised, and the respective staffs of either
line of railway—able, energetic, but overworked—
have to cope as best they can with this glut of traffic.
This year, what was intended as an additional fa-
cility was afforded in the shape of a branch line from
the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway,
extending in the direction of Tattenham Corner.
The difficulties, however, of working it appeared to
be such that in the journey either way the " fast"
trains occupied about an hour and a half. It is fair,
however, to add that, both upon this line and on the
South-Western, every precaution against accident
appeared to be taken, fog-signals as well as flags
being employed at critical points. The road, as al-
ready stated, is deceptive. Seen in transit, the
vehicles appear to be less nummous than on former
occasions, but when massed together at their desti-
nation they outnumber any previous aggregate.
The carriages, carts, vans, or omnibuses forming the
triple barrier round the course, or the miscellaneous
gathering on the bill which it encircles, are as nothing
numerically compared with those which, having no
chance of nearing the lines of white rails, are placed,
as the attendants consolingly urge, " in a capital
position for getting away again." The bewildering
maze of these outer vehicles to any one happening
to find himself among them is sufficiently sugges-
tive of the interest taken in the Derby. But a
visitor, if he wishes really to obtain an insight into
the strength of the hold acquired by this annual
gathering on the masses who attend it, will do well
to discharge his mind, as far as nay be, of the

general effect, and individualise a few of the scenes
before him. His eye will be attracted in the first
instance to the stylish turn-out, " one of four
which left our club this morning ;" or, possibly, to
the carriage and pair, comfortable, if not so showy,
which halted for a moment at Fortnum and Mason's
on its way down to pick up the appropriate ham-
pers ; and doubtless the glance will also include the
omnibus from Bishopsgate-street, with its list of fares
deposed for the day, and rendered as far as circum-
stances permit the private four-in-hand of those
gentlemen from the city with light overcoats
and veils to match. For the most part, however,
these are mere birds of passage ; they come to
Epsom as they would to a regatta or a Volunteer
review, and are not the votaries proper of the Derby.
The visitor, therefore, must turn his gaze towards
humble equipages, and certainly his first exclama-
tion will be—•" What thoughtless extravagance !
What penury, what grinding must be endured here-
after to cover the sums wasted in this one day's
riotous excess ! Equipages, 'liquors, music—how
can the wages of artisans, however liberal, suffice to
pay for all these things ?" Sad thought, if true—
excellent text for an appropriate sermon—but effec-
tually disposed of by this simple fact, that in hardly
one case is there a shilling due on account of all
these pleasure vans. Frequenters of the Derby, in
this class, know well that singly they are not of
mark sufficient to become responsible, or e'en to
obtain credit for the necessary outlay, and accord-
ingly they have recourse to a system of organisa-
tion, which is not without its lesson in these days of
" lateral" and " vertical" proposals of reform.
Parties for the Derby are formed among the opera-
tive class as much as two or three months before the
race; every expense, including even turnpikes, is
calculated, and the proportion which each should
bear adjusted to a nicety ; so that by a steady pay-
ment to the common fund of a couple of shillings
weekly, or such other sums proportioned to their
Means as may be determined upon, the committee
are in a position to make all necessary preparations
before the Derby-day, and nothing remains for the
party but to put on their best clothes and enjoy
themselves. If afterwards individual members of
the company choose to put their hands deeper into
their pockets, either by betting or by expenditure in
one or other of the booths, that is entirely their
own affair, and the party at large do not hold them-
selves responsible for it. But obviously, when men
for months together thus unite for a common object,
entailing considerable self-denial, the institution in
connection with which these qualities are exhibited
deserves the name of one of the permanent institu-
tions of the country. But while justice is thus done
to the spirit in which the masses take their plea-
sure, it must by no means be supposed that the
gathering at Epsom was merely plebeian.
There was as much rank and fashion drawn
together yesterday as on any former occasion—
probably more, for the ordinary occupants of the
Grand Stand and other " coignes of vantage" were
largely reinforced by the more distinguished of the
French residents in London, ardently desiring the
success of the Count de Lagrange. In fact, whether
in the train, in the vicinity of private carriages, on
the roof of the Grand Stand, or in the refreshment
rooms, the emphatic roll of the letter " r-r-r" be-
trayed the close proximity of our great allies, whose
attachment to le sport has sometimes furnished
occasion for mirth, but who must henceforward be
recognised not only as worthy, but as successful
rivals. From about 1 o'clock the roll of carriages to
the back of the Grand Stand was incessant, and from
among their occupants a full quorum of members of
either branch of the Legislature might have been
formed without difficulty. his Royal Highness the
Prince of Walesreached the course shortly after half-
past 1 o'clock, having driven from town in an open
carriage with four horses and two postillions,not to
be distinguished by their livery from those attached
to any ordinary equipage. his Royal Highness was
accompanied by the Duke de Brabant, an officer of
the Duke's household, and Lord Alfred Paget ; and
immediately following the royal party was a private
carriage driven by his Royal Highness the Com-
mander-in-Chief. The Prince of Wales left town
about half-past 11, and made such good progress on
the road that he reached the Grand Stand before
some of the officers of his household who were to
have preceded him by railway.
And now by 2 o'clock, though vehicles are still
arriving, and the approach of others can be pre-
dicted from the white clouds sent up from thirsty
roads in the distance, the gigantic assembly is
settling down within its normal limits. The day,
though pleasantly cool, is fine, and the predictions
of all the weatherwise, even of the oldest whips
upon the road, that rain would fall, and that in
abundance, have been utterly falsified. The turf is
unmistakably dry, not to say hard, and whenever a
horse's foot touches it sharply a little puff of chalky
dust arises. From this, again, the learned in such
matters deduce a theory, which does not bear the
test of experience--that Gladiateur's sinews can
never stand the descent from Tattenham-corner.
The bookmakers and betting men are now earnestly
at work. Several are not satisfied with putting
forth legibly printed statements of the terms on
which they are willing to do business, but intro-
duce fantastically into their costume the colours of
those riders upon whom they pin their expectations.
To one of the fraternity a brilliant method of ren-
dering himself conspicuous had occurred, which was
to have hii hat dyed in moieties. The course was
with difficulty cleared for the first race, which, as
usual, attracted comparatively little attention, al-
though the number of entries was the same as for
the great race of the day. As soon as it was deter-
mined a curious sight might be seen in the interior
of the Grand Stand. Of the 3,000 spectators on
the roof, numbers were anxious to descend to dinner
—the price of which meal, it may be stated in pass-
ing, rose to 6s. on this occasion—while far greater
numbers of those on the ground or lower tiers were
doubly anxious to occupy the vacated places above.
Continuous streams, therefore, ascending and de-
scending, tested in the most efficient manner the
permanence of the staircases, and ground each other
nearly to powder on the steep ladders approaching
the summit. Once released from the perils and dis-
comfort of the middle passage, and out in the fresh
air again, the view gained from the top of this struc-
ture is magnificent. The eye ranges over a wide
amphitheatre, wooded towards the verge on nearly
every side, in the centre undulating, and sustaining
on the crest of one of its ridges the area within
which a contest lasting less than three minutes will
lead to the transfer of £6,875 in stakes, and
probably not less than a million in bets of
greater or less amount. The course itself is
defined and encircled by a combined mass of
stands, vehicles, and members of the human
family, so closely packed as to suggest the be-
lief that it can never be safely disentangled. How
the area between the rails can be cleared is a
mystery, for the public are moving over it just as
freely and calmly, though the bell has been ringing
twenty minutes already, as if the race were to be
run this day week. Twenty policemen abreast
attempt to clear the people away, but they
simply outflank the blue line, allow it to pass, and
fall to conversing quietly in its rear. The experi-
ment is repeated again and again with no better re-
sults. At last, Superintendent Walker, the active head
of the A. division arrives, mounted. It does not
appear clearly what one horseman can effect in
such a concourse. But, penetrating judiciously here
and there, now persuading and now directing, he
does in time produce very visible results ; and,
besides this, " superintendent" is a noun of multi-
tude, meaning many. One thousand men and up-
wards are at his immediate beck and call, in the
unlikely event of their services being required in
any other capacity than keeping a good line and
frustrating the operations of pickpockets. Little
by little the crowd is pushed back under the railings,
driven along the line to favourable outlets, got rid

of somehow ; all but one or two obstinate youths,
upon whom remonstrance being thrown away they
are ultimately taken up neck and heels and passed
into outer space over the heads of the assembly.
Perhaps it may be thought the course is now in
readiness for the great race. Far, very far, from
it. It is indispensable to remove the orange peel
and greasy wrapping papers which the public have
carefully accumulated within the very limits where
men and horses will soon be sweeping past with the
violence of a tornado. When these are removed the
great dog difficulty has to be grappled with ; and
that this is something more than the joke sometimes
imagined the records of this very course at Epsom
establish, two valuable horses and their jockeys
having been nearly killed on one occasion by stumb,
ling at full gallop over such an intruder. Yesterday
the dogs were more than usually troublesome, and
it was with a joy akin to that which of old dictated
the cry of " Habet" that the spectators saw justice
done upon one particularly obstructive cur. Mean-
while, the horses about to take part in the race had
been mustered in the paddock, where, as usual,
persons were admitted to view them upon the pay-
ment of a special fee. The principal objects of
curiosity were naturally Gladiateur and Breadal-
bane, though many still clung to the belief that
there were points about Wild Charley which would
render him a formidable rival. Christmas Carol
improved as much as Longdown was depreciated
upon close acquaintance. It was known by this
time that Mr. Jackson's horse Jupiter would not be
a competitor; all the others, however, were starters,
and a new horse, Kate Hampton, was added to the
list, thereby completing the orijnalmumber of 30.
Leaving the paddock, the horses came in front of
the Grand Stand for their preliminary canter.
Among the first to show themselves were Gladiateur
and Le Mandarin, both of whom were warmly wel-
comed. A considerable interval elapsed before
Breadalbane made his appearance, but when he came
forward, accompanied by Broomielaw, his backers
likewise seemed encouraged by his appearance. There
were some, of course, among the crowd who having
backed particular horses concentrated their atten-
tion on them ; but the great mass of the spectators
had eyes or ears for nothing except the two horses
accepted as representatives of the two nations. The
canter up hill showed a slight but still a decided ad-
vantage of temper on the side of the French horse.
Grimshaw, his jockey, was conversing with some-
body, when Le Mandarin started off in advance ;
Gladiateur followed instinctively, and with good
will. Breadalbane, on the contrary, when his time
came, threw back his ears, and was a second or two
in settling into his stride. The canter down hill
was still more decidedly in favour of the French
horse. His action throughout was so smooth and
regular and sweeping that most persons made up
their minds there and then as to the probable result
of the race. The starting was attended with a con-
siderable amount of vexation, and with one unfor-
tunate accident. Sharpe, the rider of Mr. 'White's
Joker, being thrown from his seat and so much in-
jured that, although he was able to rise from the
ground, he did not attempt to take part in the race,
and the horse .was accordingly led back to the
paddock.
At last, just as the clock was about to strike four,
the horses got away together, and till the ascent,
or first half-mile, had been traversed, there was
not a symptom of lagging on the part of any.
Round the corner they swept at a tremendous pace,
and then one dropped back a little, and a knot of
four or five stood out a length in advance. There
were fewer dark colours than usual in the group,
and consequently it was not easy to distinguish the
position of the favourites ; but as there were two or
three patches of red well to the front, and as Glad
diateur's jockey wore red sleeves and cap, while
Breadalbane's colours were " all rose," the excite-
ment grew absolutely feverish. In the straight run
home none of the familiar colours occupied the ex-
pected position ; and, until touching the Grand
Stand, Christmas Carol and Eltham, running their
very best, appeared to have matters their own way.
The width of the Grand Stand, however, determined
the race. With a sudden rush Gladiateur disen-
tangled himself from the knot of horses that con-
cealed him from view, passed first one, then another,
and finally drew abreast of the leader himself.
Grimshaw seemed to expect that he would have to
rush for it against Christmas Carol, and in that ex,
pectation raised his whip and gave one stroke to
the favourite, who responded with a stride that,
despite previous performances, seemed almost super-
natural. Christmas Carol, on the contrary, was
capable of maintaining his pace, but no more, and
Gladiateur accordingly shot in an easy winner by a
couple of lengths. Eltham was third ; Longdown
an indifferent fourth.

The sensation produced when it was known that
the French horse had actually won was something
indescribable. The barriers burst like so many
cobwebs, and fully half the spectators flocked on to
the race course, so that from the paddock well nigh
to Tattenham-corne, there was one dense, swarming,
excited mass of humanity. The utmost efforts of
the police with difficulty sufficed to clear and keep
the space requisite for unsaddling, and, although
there appeared to be no visible need for the pre-
caution, Gladiateur was escorted into this area by a
force of mounted constabulary. His jockey was
repeatedly and very cordially cheered, and the
friends of Count de Lagrange applauded again and
again. . .

-The time occupied in running the race was taken
by Benson's Marking chronograph, the instrument adopted
on all these occasions ac an infallible record, and was found
to be 2 minutes 45 seconds tlxactly. Next to accuracy in
point of time, a photograph on a largo scale is now con-
sidered indispensable. It is therefore gratifying to add
that Mr. Herbert Watkins, who has much experience in
this branch, succeeded in preserving some of the main
features of this most remarkable contest.

The preliminary canters having been taken by the 30
competitors, who were scanned with most eager curicsity
by those having investments upon tho issue, they made
the best of their way to the post. Here a long delay took
place, as usual, through the over anxiety of several of the
riders to secure places, and the disinclination evinced by
Broomielaw, Rifle, and Christmas Carol to join their
horses, and it was just on the stroke of 4 before- Mr.
M'George was enabled to effect an equitable start, after
nine failures. When fairly on the wing, Wild Charley
assumed the lead, but before they had proceeded a dozen
strides he was pulled back, alld the running was taken np
by Tilt on the extreme right, closelrfonowed by El+havn,
Oppressor, Roderick Random, Christmas Carol, and
Broomielaw in a body, and a couple or three lengths in
their rear. were observed Kate Hampton, Todleben,„
Archimedes, Longdown, Le Mandarin, Brahma, and
Zephyr, who headed the next division, in the centre of
which were the favourite, Breadalbane, Audaz, Wild
Charley, and Kangaroo, the, rear being brought up by Fare-
well, First Born, and Richmond. They proceeded in these
positions at a great pace through the furze to the mile-
post, where Tilt gradually gave way, and as they com-
menced the descent of the hill Eltham, next the rails,
was clearly seen in advance, having Christmas Carol in
attendance, the pair being followed by Broomielaw, Tod-
leben, Longdown, Kate Hampton, and Audax, to the three
quarter mile post, when Gladiateur came through his
horses, followed by Wild Charley and Archimedes, who
came up on the right, but in a few strides furthei
struck into the heels of Mr. Merry's colt, which sent him
staggering against Archimedes and Audax, who cannoned
against the favourite, and completely knocked him out of
his stride, and but for the timely attention paid by Edwards
to Challonor's caution, by pulling off and lotting Grimshaw
through, his chance would have been entirely destroyed,
and in consequence Grimshaw had to ease him, and bide
his time until he was fairly landed in the straight. Round-
ing the bend Broomielaw took a slight lead of Eltham and
Christmas Carol on the lower ground, having Todleben
wide on the right, and close in his rear came Longdown,
Archimedes, Brahma, Gladiateur, Oppressor, Ariel, and
Olmar to the road, where the favourite crept up, and on
reaching the distance Broomielaw, having run himself out,
gave way, and Christmas Carol thou assumed the lead,
having Eltham on his right, the pair running locked to-
gether to half way up, when Grimshaw, having steadied
his horse, came with a rush, and, heading the two in the
next few strides, won in a canter by two lengths, Christ-
mas Carol defeated Eltham by a length for second, Long-
down was fourth, beaten a couple of lengths from the let-
ter. Broomielaw was fifth, Todleben sixth. Archimedes
seventh, Breadalbane, who ran unkindly throughout,
finished next, a long way off. Then came Brahma, Op-
pressor, Olmar, Ariel, Kate Hampton, and Audax in a body,
the rear division comprising King Charming, Kangaroo,
Wild Charley, Richmond, and Bedminster, the last of whom
broke down badly half a mile from home.
The Manor Plate of 50 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

Guardsman jumped off with the lead, followed by Trou-
blesome and Soapstone, and continued in this order with
no variation to the distance, when Troublesome made an
effort, but failed to reach the leader, who won easily by
two lengths ; a length between second and third.

where the leader dropped back, and Warrior drew to the
front, opposite the Stand he was level with his horses,
and with only Bavarde and Under the Cloud near him,
went in an easy winner by a. length and a half ; Under the

fine race between the first two ensued, the favourite
winning by a head. His Royal Highness finished two
lengths behind the second. Nothing else near the three
placed.

Delimo was struck out of the Oaks at 8.30 r.m. on

THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE, 1794.—This day
being the 71st anniversary of the defeat of the
French fleet by Lord Howe, it may be interesting to our
readers to know that there are still nine gallant veteran
officers who survive to celebrate that great achievement.
The following are the names of the survivors, together
with their rank then and now, and the ship in which they

A WOMAN KILLED BY Lronnurra.—When the
storm was at its height in Glasgow on Wednesday
afternoon a widow woman named Mary Scanlan, or Broad-
lie, residing in 22, Gallowgate, was killed on the spot, in
the Green, by the electric fluid. It appears that Mrs.
Broadlie had been taking tea with a neighbour named Mrs.
Craigie, between 3 and 4 o'clock, and shortly before the
latter hour the women left the house for the purpose of
searching for two children belonging to Mrs. Broadlie.
The children had gone out for a stroll, and it having been
ascertained that they had been seen going in the direction
of the Green, the women proceeded thither. While they
were walking between Monteith-row and the Humane
Society's-house Mrs. Craigie was knocked to the ground
from the effects of a stroke of lightning, but, excepting a.
momentary stun, she was little or nothing the worse. Im-
mediately thereafter, her companion, Mrs. Broadlie, was
also struck by the electric fluid, whereby she was instanta-
neously deprived of life. Her clothes were literally torn
into shreds, and singed in some places ; but, with the ex-
ception of a slight oozing of blood from her mouth and one
of her ears, there were no injuries apparent. The body of
the unfortunate woman was conveyed to the Central
Police-office, where it had not lain above five minutes
when the children of the deceased wore brought into the
office. They had been found by the police in the neigh-
bourhood of Stockwell-street, and were conveyed to the
office for protection, where their mother, whom they left
in the fulness of health about an hour before, lay a corpse.
A serious accident also took place during the storm in the
house of John Tweedlie, GO, High-street. It appears that
while John Tweedlie, three years of age, Elizabeth Tweed-
lie, between six and seven, and a woman named Sarah
Shepherd or Ifislop, and her daughter, were standing in
the kitchen near the fire, the lightning struck the chimney
can, darted down the vont, and the above-named persons
were very severely scorched in various parts of their bodies.
After being attended by Dr. M'Gill, the sufferers were con-
veyed to the Infirmary. Shortly after 4 o'clock, a chimney
stalk, situated at 80, King-street, City, was struck by the
lightning, and a portion of the masonwork fell to the
ground with a fearful crash. Fortunately no person was
injured.—Glasgow Herald.
