HEALTH OF THE EARL OF DERBY.—We are re-
joiced to hear that it is stated, on the authority of the
medical attendants of the Earl of Derby, that his lordship
has passed through the dangerous stage of the attack by
which he was assailed, and that he is progressing rapidly
towards recovery. _

LORD DERBY.—lnheriting to the fullest extent
the partiality of his father and grandfather for field sports,
Lord Derby has for years been one of the strongest sup-
porters of the tarf, and has contributed materially to the
maintenance of its honour and well. being. Originally he
had the management of his father's stud placed in his hands,
and found time from his political engagements to see that
their trainers, Saunders and Pearce, did justice to them.
Whei he began, however, on his own account, he joined
John Scott's stable, and has since remained in it, through
good and evil report, leaving entirely the conduct of his
stud to the veteran who is at the head of it. And well has
the confidence been bestowed ; for although, to John's
intense mortification, he has never been able to pull
him through a Derby or a St. Leger, twice, when
his prospects for them looked the brightest, his
horses De Clare and Boiardo breaking down, he has yet,
by the excellence of his training, and the judicious manner
he has engaged them, gained for him most of the distin-
guished prizes on the turf, and rendered his training bill a
mere bagatelle. To instance the correctness of our state-
ments, we may enumerate, among other victories that are
emblazoned on his escutcheon, the Oaks of 1851, with Iris ;
the Two Thousand Guineas of 1856, with Fazaoletto ; the One
Thousand, with Cane zou and Sagitta in 1848 and 1860 ; the
Ces irewitch in 1819, with Legerdemain ; the Goodwood Cup
in 1849 and 18.50 with Canaou, who also carried off the Don-
caster Cup in 1849. The Great Yorkshire Stakes he won three
years out of four, viz , in 1853, 1854, and 1856, with Umbriel,
Acrobat, and Fazoletto ; and but for the treachery of the lad
who rode Acrobat in the Chester Cup, he should have
been credited with that race also. The Derby has always
been fatal to him • his favourites for it, and on whom he
most relied, viz., Dervish and T3xopholite, being endowed
with more speed than staying powers ; but had not De
Clare broke down on the Sunday previous to the race, his
trainer always maintains he would have worried Wild
Dayrell to death, and defeated him. Produce Stakes
innumerable have fallen to his lot at Newmarket, Ascot,
and York ; and at Northampton his two-year-olds were
wont to be very formidable. Such successes, obtained by
his own blood, reflect quite as much credit on Lord Derby
as a breeder as it does on John Scott as a trainer.—Baily's
Magazine.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—Mademoiselle Titiens and
Signor Giuglini, after a lengthened absence from the con-
cert room, have arranged to give a series of three concerts

ral other eminent vocaliAts are announced and at the first
