WINNING JOCKEYS.

Since the opening of the campaign at Lincoln,
upwards of 200 race meetings have been held in the
United Kingdom, and 1,503 races have been decided
between the months of February and November_
Not less than 550 two year olds have made their
debut this season, while 2,250 animals, from that
age and upwards, have appeared in public.
George Fordham is again at the head of the poll
in the list of winning jockeys, and, notwithstand-
ing that he rides many pounds heavier than last
season, he has beaten his 1857 score by four points.
84 was his score last year, and, as will be found.
below, he has this season " notched " 88 successes..
Poor " Ben " Bray made it a nice thing last year
with " the bant," and there was only a difference
of two points between them. The accident, how-
ever, which the Northleach light weight sustained
at Monmouth, put him out of the race, and his
:core, this season, is not quite half as great as at
the close of the campaign of 1857. Bray's season
has, however, been tolerably brilliant, for he num-
bers a Liverpool Cup, the Goodwood Stakes, and
the Leamington Stakes amongst his triumphs.
Fordham's " great things" are confined to a second.
for the Two Thousand Guineas, and success for the
Northamptonshire Stakes, the Great Yorkshire
Stakes, and the Gold Vase at Ascot. Wells, who
is second to Fordham, in the present score, num-
bers, as all the world knows, some wonderful
achievements—the Two Thousand, Derby, and.
Ascot Cup ! Challoner has run a good third,
to Wells, and Luke Snowden is close up with the
third at 57. The result appears to be as under :
Fordham (88)
Wells (76) 2at 61,
Challoner (61)
L. Snowden (57)
Ashman has had a tolerable share of the sweets,
and cannot quarrel with fortune that awarded hiixt
the One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks.
Johnny Osborne's wins comprise the Goodwood
and Doncaster Cups,—enough to satisfy any jockey.
of ordinary ambition ; and Plumb's score is consi-
derable, although it does not comprise anything
greater than the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Sam
Rogers's score is almost double Alfred Day's, the
former standing at 30, and the latter at 16. " Sam"
claims the July Stakes amongst his most porten-
tous 1858 deeds, but Alfred Day has experienced a.
somewhat barren season.

Aldcroft has been rather scurvily treated by
fortune, and the recollection of his third for the
Derby, his dead heat, and subsequent defeat for the
Oaks, and his second for the Leger, cannot be par-
ticularly pleasing. Flatman's most remarkable
essays have been second on the first favourite for
the Derby, and the piloting of Monarque for the
Newmarket Handicap. Custance has gone a great
pace ; numberinr, only seven successful mounts last
year, he has left this season at 37.
Some of the jockeys' scores are " short and sweet,"
thus :—Britton has only been twiee triumphant,
but he rode the Cambridgeshire winner ; Withing-
tcn, with the modest number of 16 wins, has con-
trived to put the Chester Cup to his account ; and.
Spreoty, the jockey of the French stable, " pulled
off" but one event, but it was the City and Subur-
ban.—Sunday Times.

COUNTRY MAREETZ.

LIVERPOOL—Noy. 20.

Our trade has ruled exceedingly dull during the week,
but yesterday and to-day there was a better inquiry for
wheat, flour, and Indian corn, with no observable change
in prices. Oats, oatmeal, barley, beans, &c., sold only m
retail, and no alteration was made in figures. Rain has
fallen to-day.
