LORD DEBBY'S RETIREMENT FROM

THE TURF.

The announcement that the entire stud of Lord
Derby is about to be disposed of by auction is calcu-
lated to give rise to much misapprehension in the
public mind. The circumstance is likely to cast a
gloom in racing circles, for unwelcome as the tidings
of the breaking up of Lord Derby's stud would
have been at any period, it sounds additionally un-
pleasant while the noble lord holds the highest poli-
tical position, and when his countenance to the pas-
time of the people is likely to operate with such
beneficial results. Still the fact must not be mis-
understood. We do not for a moment imagine that
Lord Derby's determination to dispose of his horses
arises from relaxed ardour for sport, or that he is
partly severing his connexion with the turf from
disgust or indifference to its interests. Certain
people will, doubtless, place such a construction
upon the conduct of the noble lord ; but we trust
that their suppositions may be entirely without
foundation. The announcement has been so sudden,
and the racing public so little anticipated such a
step, that we could almost wish that Lord Derby
had favoured us with another Jockey Club letter,
briefly explaining his motives, in order that all un-
easiness and misconception might be allayed. The
fact admits of no disguise. Were a report to get
abroad that his lordship meant to withdraw entirely
from the turf, the cause of racing would be seriously
damaged. That such is not the case, we have little
hesitation in affirming, and believe we are regard-
ing the matter in its true light if we look upon it
as a sacrifice on the part of the noble lord at the-
shrine of public duty. Lord G. Bcntinck acted in
a precisely similar manner, and when the cares of
statesmanship fell thick upon him surrendered his
inclinations, in order to devote his whole energies to
the service of his country. Yet, the interest which
that nobleman evinced for the welfare of the turf
remained unabated to the last; and although he broke
up his stable, he never missed an opportunity of
promoting the good of our " Isthmian games."
That the step which Lord Derby has seen fit to
take is merely a parallel one with that of the
" Napoleon of the turf " is tolerably clear, and we
cannot for a moment credit the vulgar idea enter-
tained by a portion of the public, that so true a
sportsman abandons a racing stud because Toxo-
pMlite disappointed him at the Derby, or because
his lucky star is not in the ascendant. The Pre-
mier can be influenced by no such considerations ;
the motives which we have suggested are, in all
probability, those which have impelled him to dis-
pose of his horses. It is impossible to over-esti-
mate the importance of Lord Derby's patronage to
turf pursuits, for, with a Prince Consort who can-
not top a three-foot hedge after a pack of harriers,
and who thinks an Ascot Cup day a bore, we can
ill afford to lose the support of the Premier of Eng-
land.—Sunday Times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAT.

The few subscribers that assembled in the room did not
evince much disposition to resume business. After 3to 1
to nearly 200 had been taken about Toxophol/te, 500 to 200
was booked. 7 to 2 was the highest offer against Fits
Roland ; 4to 1 was wanted. 20 to 1 would have been laid
freely against Longrange. Several inquiries were made
after Governess, but no bet was made about her.

For the Derby, 40 to 1 to a pony was taken about
Gamester.
