SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE DERBY DAY, 1870.

Although the morning was ushered in ominously, with
fog, and murky clouds, the weather for the Derby
could not in the early part of yesterday have been more
satisfactory. There was no blinding sun, or, indeed,
sun of any kind, and the thousands of veils on
the men's hats, and blue dimity curtains to the
hansoms were useless as far as the brightness of
the heavens, and its effects on human beings
was concerned. Certainly they kept off the dust, but a
strong breeze made them rather more tantalising
than pleasant in another way. The Derby stakes last
year were run for on a splendid summer afternoon. At an
early hour, omnibuses, carts, and drags began to leave town.
in large numbers, only to be followed at a later one by
myriads of cabs and stately carriages. A great dis-
appointment was experienced last year by the absence of
what was then comparatively a new conveyance—the
velocipede—on the road. This year the machines were
largely used, and indeed the greatest possible inconvenience
was caused by them, not only to the other travellers, but
also to the riders themselves. At London Bridge, Vic-
toria, and Waterloo Stations cheap trains, well filled, ran
repeatedly from 8 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock " special
fast trains " began to run, the fares for a return
journey being 7s. 6d. any class. The roads, usually taken
advantage of, with the exception of that through Ken-
nington (it being blocked up by the looal authorities),
seemed hardly less crowded than ever between the hours
of nine and twelve o'clock. Groups of respectable men
and boys, chatting warmly as they went along,
itinerant retailers of oranges, and racing cards ; ostlers,
cardsharpers, and roughs all were hastening
to the course as fast as their legs would carry them, or the
" c'reckt cards " and " cigar light " youngsters would
allow them. The streams of waggons, omnibuses, pony
chaises, and dog-carts, in the centre of the road were also
as thick as ever. The Prince and Princess
of Wales, accompanied by the King of the
Belgians, with their retinue, drove down to
Epsom about noon, and were much cheered by the
observers, whom the royal party passed on the road.
The balconies along the route from the Elephant and
Castle, the Camberwell New-road, the Kennington Park
and Clapham-roads were filled with ladies and children,
and many were the regrets expressed by the crowd passing
below that they were being left behind in quiet London,
and " quiet " London was all day, if it is ever so. On
the roads faces looked as bright, colours as gay, and what
passes on a Derby Day for fun was as boisterous as ever.
Looking at the dense crowd of spectators between the
intervals of the races swarming over the Downs, or
pacing the Course, and during the time of running formed
in a solid phalanx on either side of the ropes, it seemed
difficult to believe that there were fewer visitors at the
Derby yesterday than in many former years, from sheer
incapacity to understand where, -on the occasions when
they were more numerous, they could all have
been stowed with the remotest chance of seeing anything.
Yet that there was a thinner attendance was
an opinion generally expressed by the habitues of the
meeting, the correctness of which it would probably be
difficult to challenge. The reason was not far to seek.
Everyone—the sporting prophets included (though
they, especially after the result of their vatici-
nations to-day ought hardly to count for much) thought
the great race of the year was a foregone conclusion.
The winner of the 2,000 guineas, and the winner, too, in
such a style, no other horse being able to come near
him, was held to be such a safe card, that to
doubt his chance of success was lool?ed upon simply
as heresy of the grossest and most unpardonable kind.
Never since the year of West Australian has any horse
within ten days of pulling off the Derby been intrusted
with such heavy odds. The rush to get on him the night
before the race was tremendous, and when yesterday he
was seen cantering past the Standthe enthusiasm was still
greater. Macgregor must win—such, heavily backed, was
the opinion of the public. Nothing else was
to be heard of, and any other horse suggested as likely
to snatch the honour from him was dismissed with
ignominy. This confidence in Mr Merry's selection—
a confidence which the scratching of his other
horses proved to have been as strong in his own
mind as it was in that of the public robbed
the Derby of 1870 of so much of excitement
as would have tended to attract towards it a
gathering of more than ordinary dimensions. The un-
certainty of the weather, for the morning "got up," if
such an expression may be allowed, with more
than a suspicion of moisture attaching to it,
had also a somewhat slightly deterrent influence.
But though thus partially contracted in its pro-
portions, from the causes stated above, the chief
race of the season was pulled off in the presence of a vast
crowd—a crowd composed of the same elements of intense
business and pure jollity which have always characterised
it, and which have been reproduced in print ad nauseam.
Frith's picture of "The Derby Day " is not for one year
but for all time, for its incidents have been incidents of every
Epsom Meeting for years past as they will be for years
to come. The day as far as weather went was hardly
worthy of the lst of June, but then as everybody
knows the seasons at present are sadly out of
course. The wind got round to the North
though it did not do much when it got there, which was
a fortunate item, for blowing where it listeth, according
to precedent, it has a special penchant for the downs, and
it does not require a memory very long to recall when the
Derby was run in a breeze admirably adapted for
yachting, but not for a horse-race. Yesterday,
if there had been much sun, the slight wind that
prevailed would have received a heartier welcome than it
did. As it was, it made the atmosphere a little cool, and ,
prevented the dust from remaining in that con-
dition of repose, so much to be admired in
pulverised chalk and young children. Rain fell at
Epsom early in the morning, as was discovered by the
visitors who reached the place a little after noon. This
first instalment was followed by a second a little later on,
and just as the course was being cleared for the race of the
day, a smart shower fell whichdid the work of the police in
double quick time, and caused the top ofthe Grand Stand to
break out with umbrellas, which, held closely in the hands
of the occupants, as they crouched down gave
it the appearance of a bed of highly dis-
coloured fungi. The shower was only transitory, and
the sky was clear when the horses were saddled and
paraded in the paddock. The little excitement caused
by the first race, the Epsom Town Plate—the state-
ment of the running in which will appear in its proper
place, and of which it is sufficient to say
here it was started with difficulty—the horses again and
again breaking away, some of them getting half way down
the half-mile before they could be pulled up—contested
gamely and cleverly won by Lord Rendlesham's
La Rose, served only to whet the appetite
of the visitors present for the grand coup
which was to follow. His Majesty the King of the Bel-
gians, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the
Princess of Wales arrived just as the horses for the first
contest, headed by the scarlet-coated official whose
presence on his white charger is as familiar as the
Derby dog (by-the-bye, there were three to-day, and they
did the mile and a half from the corner in
splendid style)—passed slowly up the course.
The Royal party were loudly cheered as they drove
in a carriage and four up to the Grand Stand. The
process of stripping and saddling the Derby horses is done,
unless in exceptional cases, in the paddock, within the
mysterious precincts of which they are paraded for their
owners, their friends, and the cognescenti, to take a last
fond and critical look before they are sent away walking
gravely by the Stand to turn at the quarter-mile dis-
tance, and take a brisk canter back. Thirteen horses
shewed in all their glossy beauty within the paddock, upon
the palings of which those not permitted to enter the sacred
pasture swarmed like so many bees. From every ele-
vated point whence the meadow could be over-
looked, lorgnettes were levelled to scan the
horses recognised by the colours of their jockeys.
Slowly and at regular intervals they paraded
in a narrow circle, every point carefully scruti-
nised, every defect noted, every virtue—horses must have
virtues, for we constantly hear of their vices—extolled.
But where, oh where, was the Highland laddie gone !
The certain winner of the Blue Riband of the
turf for the present year of grace what could delay his
coming. Everyone wanted to see Macgregor, yet no one
could catch sight of him. Had they only known the ter-
rible dilemma in which he was about to place his
ardent supporters, they would probably have been
ready to tear him in pieces rather than to await the
moment when his owner saw fit to produce him, to greet
him with ringing cheers. But ignorance for the moment
was bliss—the awakening must have been experienced and
bitterly cursed by this time—and so when it was an-
nounced that the favourite was being saddled else-
where, as also was Kingcraft, his backers were content
to exercise patience, a patience soon to be rewarded
when the field of 15 came down the course in front
of the Grand Stand in their preliminary canter. By then

Macgregor was to the fore, with Fordham for his mount,

course to the Stand ; he came along at a pace much
slower than several of his competitors, being evidently

daged, and thelhought occurred, no doubt, to some of
those who had heavy odds upon him whether or not there
was any truth in the rumour that, exceptionally good
horse as he was believed to be, the descent from
the corner—the crucial point of the course—
would prove too much for those upright legs of his. Of
all the string which came cantering down towards the
winning post, not in the race, but in the preliminary
canter, it was thought that Mr. Merry, having
scratched Sunshine, daughter of a Derby and St.
Leger winner, and said to inherit all the sterling
qualities of old Alice Hawthorn on the one side and of
Chanticleer on the other, and elected to win, if win he could
by Macgregor. There was no very dangerous rival to fear,
though Prince of Wales and Camel were by some sport-
ing authorities held to be horses who would
require the favourite to do about all that he
knew. Many idols of the public have been followed
with loving eyes on their way to the starting-point,
but it is questionable if any was ever sped thither
with glances more admiring or confident than Macgregor.
whose owner Just ten yeas since won the Derby with
Thormanby. As events turned out, it is rather curious to
note that one of the horses about which the least
was said, as the string swept 'by, was the horse
which VMS to snatch the laurels from the New- '
market winner, and lead the black jacket with
white sleeves to victory. The start was effected with
some little difficulty, and with a great amount of delay,
but as far as could be seen from the winning post was 4
level one. The field got off in capital style, and in a
compact phalanx. Indeed it was observable that
right away up to the furze bushes with one or two excep-
tions—notably one in which the horse Cockney Boy
stumbled and fell—the whole body of competitors kept in'
close proximity ; the pace was fast, and when Tatten-
ham Corner was turned a scarlet jacket, that of Palmer-
ston's rider, was seen rather too much to the front to be
pleasing to the backers of the yellow, who nevertheless stuck
to their choice manfully, and vowed that getting into the
level Mr. Merry's horse was gaining the foremost place.
One thing was clear, that Fordham meant winning if the
horse had it in him to do it. Macgregor was
ridden to all appearance judiciously, and seemed
to answer gamely the calls that his jockey, sparing
neither whip nor spur, made upon him. But the race
was not his—a fact which began to impress itself unwil-
lingly, but with some considerable degree of certainty,
upon his backers as the field drew near the
distance. At this time French, on King-
craft, was lifting his horse along in first-rate
style, and the scarlet of Challoner, Palmerston's
rider, and the mazarine blue of Kenyon, Muster's mount,
were too much in front of the yellow and black to please
the backers of the favourite. Fordham, calling
upon Macgregor, lessened the distance between them, and
the favourite shot slightly ahead, but as he did so, and was
getting to the front, he was checked by the horse on his
near side, which was steered so closely to him that a
cannon seemed inevitable. For an instant shut
out of the field, but only an instant, Mac-
gregor was induced to make one more desperate effort
for retrieving his honours, but it was too late. The judge's
box was at hand, and French, on the far side of the course
from the Stand, with a vigorous handling of his whip, car-
ried Lord Falmouth's colours past in triumph, Palmerston
being close behind, and Muster next: The race finished
amidst an ominous silence, as it might well do when such a
firm favourite as Macgregor did not even secure a place,
but was at the tail of three horses supposed to be infinitely
his inferiors.

Prince of Wales appeared' quite content with the appear-
ance they presented ; in fact, each supporter of the cele-
brated 15 seemed quite satisfied with the look of their
especial favourites.
The start was effected with some little difficulty, but, as
it seemed to us, they all in the end got well off ; one was
seen to stumble and fall, but the rest went
away in a good style. The pace was fast, and as
Tattenham-corner was turned, a scarlet jacket, that of
Palmerston's rider was seen rather too much in the
front to be pleasing to the backers of the yellow. Ford-
ham, however, seemed to have made up his mind to win
with Macgregor, and rode his horse to all appearance
most judiciously, as he seemed to answer all the calls
that were made upon him, but it soon became
apparent to his supporters that the race we.s not for him.
As the lot drew near the Grand Stand, French was seen
lifting his horse along in first-rate style. Palmerston
and Muster were now in front of Macgregor, and Fordham
made a great effort to lessen the distance between them, and
his horse shot to the front, but he was checked by a horse
on the off side. Fordham again called on Macgregor,
who endeavoured to retrieve lost ground, but it was too
late ; the judge's box was at hand, and French, by a vigo-
rous effort, landed Kingcraft the winner of the Derby of
1870.

This was the 91st anniversary of the Derby Day. On
this occasion the winning horse was ridden by T. French,
a jockey who though famous has never won the " Derby."
One might here mention, as showing the praiseworthy
activity of an excellent association, that the officers of the
Society for Preventing Cruelty to animals stopped
a four-horse omnibus in the morning because
thehorses were not in a fit condition for

that the owners of the vehicle have already been fined #5.

ANTICIPATIONS FOR THE OAKS.

Since the scratching of Sunshine for the Derby the
betting in favour of the filly's chances has considerably
Increased, and seeing that two splendid cracks, Hester and
Sunshine will probably have a thorough struggle for a win,
interest in the race has become intense. The field will
probably be made up not much larger than follows :

Pate............ Macaroni., Songstress., ,
Sister to Tomato King Tom Mincemeat
Dark C10ud...... Cavendish Maid of the Mist
Those marked * are doubtful runners,

Bell's Life says it seems to be considered that the race
will be confined to the three alone that stand first in the
above list. Hester (it says) we recently saw win the One
Thousand Guineas Stakes in very hollow style, and on
that occasion the filly displayed a fine turn of speed, and
outstayed her field in a style that betokened her ability to
get a distance. Since that time there is every reason to
believe that she has done well, and her party are most
sanguine of success. Sunshine is now head and
head with Hester in the quotations. Pate seems
bound to get a place now that Mahonia is amiss. Had
the last-named kept well we should certainly have
coupled her with Hester, but she is unfortunately cough-
ing, and it is, perhaps, doubtful whether Baron Rothschild
will have a representative at all. Pate is a very smart
and clever filly, and although it was the fashion up to a
certain time t say that speed, and speed only was her
forte, it has been manifested that she is not without
staying powers. In our opinion she is, however, scarcely
up to the class of the other two, far as she may be ex-
pected to beat all the remainder that run, although Dark
Cloud is fancied in the north. The struggle between
Hester and Sunshine may be a sharp one, but knowing
Hester to be in form, and remembering that Sunshine has
not been raced since the Middle Park Plate, the New-
market filly must have the preference.
The prophet of the Sportsman says :—" I must confess
that the bold front presented by my old favourite, Sun-
shine, makes me very uneasy about the fate of my Satur-
day's selection, Hester, for I find that so far from being
only half trained, as was currently reported, Mr. Merry's
filly is in brilliant condition."

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) ACT.—
The Metropolitan Board of Works, acting as the " local
authority" for London, has at length taken steps to en-
'force the provisions of the Contagious Diseases (Ani-
mals) Act. The board has issued an order that all horses
or other animals which have died of glanders, or have been
slaughtered on account of contagious disease, must be re-
moved, after disinfection of the carcase, in charge of one
of their officers, to premises licensed for the purpose.
Persons who are in possession of animals suffering from
contagious or infectious diseases are to give immediate
notice to the police, and to keep the affected animals as
far as possible separate from others. The neglect to give
notice will render parties who have glandered animals
in their possession to a penalty of £2O ; and all
persons who may be connected with the disposal of such
animals, otherwise than provided for in above Act, and
the orders of the Privy Council, will be similarly liable.
The Board further warns all persons concerned to give
immediate notice of any outbreak of disease, so that pro-
per steps may be taken to prevent its spread.
