SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

•TLIE DERBY.
EPSOM, WEDNESDAY, May 22.
The Derby clay iu 1867 will long be remembered by all
turfinen, not only by reason of the astounding vicissitudes
in the betting, but for the triumph of "poor Hermit," as
he was derisively called only a few days since, when his
chance seemed forlorn indeed. The air on the Downs from
noon was at times piercingly raw and cold, and the holi-
day makers were suggestively silent by the time they
reached Epsom. In fact, the "third winter" evidently
froze the general current of gaiety. Beyond all doubt the
Derby day of this year, as far as company was concerned,
was the most dull and dispiriting on record, and the forest
of umbrellas that cropped up in every direction showed
that the visitors had sensibly come prepared for the worst.
.Spectators who stood about for any time got fairly chilled,
and in the saddling paddock those waiting the arrival of
the favourite; buffeted their hands for warmth, and thus
accelerated the circulation of their blood. The first race,
the Bentinck Plate, as usual, like the opening piece on
Boxing -night, was almost totally disregarded, and was won
after a desperate finish by a head. The Derby was set for
three o'clock, therebeing no fewer than 30 starters, but No.
9, "poor Plaudit," was scratched at 10 23, and his place
was taken conveniently by Distin, who was the only one
not inserted in Dorliug's list of probable runners. The
crowd in the saddling paddock was by no means so large
as on many previous occasions, and, as usual, all thoughts
seemed concentrated upon the great favourites. Vauban,
Uncas, and Distin were paraded with young John Day
and several other Danebury attaches at their sides,
monopolising almost all the attention of the spectators
Hermit, who was by himself, was almost entirely
disregarded, and seemed to shiver witb the cold. A
few people asked "What's that 2" and when in-
formed it was -Hermit conterapi uously observed " !"
and passed on. Though the majority of the public entirely
overlooked the Hermit, Captain Machell (Mr. Chaplin's
confederate) was quietly giving instructions to Daley, who
was "put on" by Captain Machell £3OO if he were one of
the first three, and £3,000 if he won, to which Mr. Chap-
lin added £6,000, making in the whole £9,000. In the
paddock nothing looked better than Tho Palmer, Vauban,
Fitz-Ivan, and Van ' Amburgh. The - 'Palmer was in
superb condition. His party were wonderfully sanguine,
and such was the favour for the horse that when Wells
took off his top-coat and displayed the cherry satin be was
greeted with immense cheering, an incidert quite unusual
at Epsom. Many persons were present in the enclosure
for the express purpose of inspecting the fallen Rake, but
he was not in the paddock, being saddled and mounted
near Sherwood's cottage. Marksman also was saddled
elsewhere. Thirty horses went to the post, precisely the
same number as in Gladiateur's and Blair Athol's years,
and four more than in the past anniversary, when Lord
Lyon was victorious. As uspal, -whiledhe animals were
"under orders" great excitement 'was manifested, and' tile
Treliminary t canters were watched with . extraordinary
Curiosity, the style' in which !the It'ractive chestnut
Marksman galloped and the bright coats of Vauban and
The Palmer eliciting general admiration, while Hermit
was almost unobserved, so totally had the public mind
become alienated from him by the recent market opera-
tions. When the lot got to the post three-quarters of an
hour elapsed before they were despatched on their event-
ful journey, but the interest attaching to the actual start
was considerably marred by the delay and the biting
wind, sleet, and snow which swept over the downs.
There were at least half a score of false starts and these
were in some degree caused by the fractiousness of
D'Estournel, who exhibited some of the wild freaks
of Tambour Major a few years ago, despite the reports of
his improved temper. In the meantime the spectators
were becoming so accustomed to the false starts that they
were scarcely prepared for the tremendous shout of
"They're off," and the familiar clanking of the starting-
bell. From the second tremendous shout which followed
it was evident that some favourite had been left at the
post, and in an instant the animal was recognised in the
now notorious D'Estournel, who reared up on his hind
leg; and the moment the flag was lowered darted off in
an entirely opposite direction, and actually attacked the
people who were on the rails next the post. The race in
its changes is fully described below. Approaching
Tatteuham Corner The Rake and The Palmer looked for-
midable, but when they had made the turn they both died
away, and, being closed in upon, their chances of success
were hopeless. From the distance only Vauban, Marks-
man, Hermit, and Vam Amburgh appeared in the struggle,
and loud cheers were raised when Marksman was seen on
the " Thormanby" side of the course. On breasting the
hill Vauban was beaten, and Hermit won after a game and
determined race. Grimshaw evidently acting up to the
letter of his instructions, which were not to move upon his
horse, which ho rode with consummate patience and fine
judgment. Hermit, who held his place between Vauban
and Marksman, was brought out with great judgment, and
ridden throughout with wonderful patience by J. Daley.
Fordham's ill-luck in the great three-year-old races did
not desert him on the present occasion, for he only got
third ; and The Rake, whose recent accident is so well-
known, finished tenth. Julius was never formidable after
leaving the furzes. The winner had been one of the
favourites until Monday week, when he was reported to
have been tried with Mr. Chaplin's recent purchase, Rama,
and to have been not only worsted, but, like The Rake, to
have broken a blood vessel. He was then knocked out.
To-day his owner, Mr. Chaplin, accepted 1,000 to 15, and
his confederate, Captain Machell, backed him to win
£lO,OOO. Mr. Chaplin is said to have won £140,000, and
Captain Machell £63,000. Mr. Chaplin also wins the
leviathan bet of £50,000 that The Hermit would beat The
Palmer the first time they met, and £lO,OOO that Hermit
beat Marksman. Sir Joseph Hawley hedged the Hermit
bet a few weeks ago. It is worthy of note that Custauco
resigned his claim upon Hermit to ride The Rake, who has
turned out a great impostor. Thus ended one of the most
sensational Derbys on record. Though the majority of
the public entirely overlooked the knocked-out favourite,
Captain M (Mi. Chaplin's' confederate) was quietly
givingacbe
instructionsii to Johnny Daley, who is one of the
most respectable jockeys of the day, and is well known as
Baron Rothschild's second horseman, and was put on by
Captain Machell, £3OO if ho wero one of the first three,
and £3,000 if he won, to which Mt. Chaplin added £5,000,
making in the whole £B,OOO.

and in consequence their
o f those
riders, were speedily ex-
hibitedAs usual, Mr. Manning had expedited the weighing out
on the usual notice board, and shortly after 28 of
the
respective
Derby,
the 30 competitors were seen leaving the paddock, numbers, engaged
with t hieni r
Marks-
man and The Rake soon after meeting them, having been
saddled .at the Warren stables. Little or no time was lost

in their preliminary canters, in which thoso most interested
took exception to several of their favourites. The lot
were marshalled down to the starting post by the veteran
Starling, who delivered them in something like order into
the custody of Mr. M'George. Upwards of an hour was
lost before he could get them together, breaks away appa-
rently being the order of the day. At last the patience of
the spectators, the more sorely tried by several heavy
showers, was rewarded by the welcome cry of " They're
off," and immediately after Julius on the extreme right of
his horses, was observed slightly in advance of Redbourno,
Skysail, and Fitz Ivan, to whom succeeded Vauban,
Marksman, Corporal, Van Anburgh, The Rake, and Her-
mit. The next division had for their leaders Wild Moor,
Dwain Glyndwr, The Rescue, Tyndale, Man of Ross,
Dragon, and The Palmer, the extreme rear being repre-
sented by Mr. Eastwood's pair, Taraban, the Amanda colt,
and d'Estournel. The latter jumped round as the flag fell
nd was left a long way in the real, which mishap was
further increased by the brute's bolting out of the course.
During this contretemps the leaders held their way through
the furzes, but as they entered the old course Redbourne
dropped away from the front, and his place was then taken
by Skysail, who proceeded along the brow of the hill to
the mile-post, at the girths of the Duke of Newcastle's
colt, the pair being upwards of three lengths in ad-
vance of Vauban, on whose right were seen the colours of
Wild Moor, Tynedale, Marksman, and The Rescue, and on
the inside followed The Palmer, Hermit, and The Rake, the
rear rank oven at this early period having taken open
order. Descending the bill for Tattenham-corner Julius
was beaten, and Fordham isdulged the favourite with a
a pull, which for a brief period gave to the race an open
Va paptr Animnbcte; gahn,dt hl oet
with his stable companion Tynedale, showed prominently

in advance. At tho road Vauban was soon clear of his
horses, when his success was loudly
_proclaimed from the
stands, but immediately after Fordham was-seen to 'be
hard upon his horse, and as they neared the distance he
was joined on the whip hand by Marksman, and on the
lower ground by Van Amburgh, J. Daley at this period
holding his horse in reserve to the enclosure. At this
point Van Amburgh was disposed of, which let up Hermit,
who joined issue with Vauban and Marksman at the
Stand ; 119. re the favourite was completely run out, leaving
Mr. Merry's colt in advance, but Daley, riding with great
determination to the end, was just enabled to get up in the
last stride,: and landed one of the most extreme outsiders a
clever winner by a neck. Marksman, who ran a thoroughly
game horse throughout, finished upviards of five lengths
in advance of Vauban. Wild Moor was fourth, Van Am-
burgh fifth, Owain Glendwyr sixth, Tynedale seventh,
The Palmer eighth, and The Corporal next. At the head
of the next division, pulling up, were, headed by the Rake,
Leases, Julius, and Gipsy King, to whom succeeded, at
wide distances, The Rescue, Grand Cross, and Roquefort,
the last throe being Ben Nevis, the Amanda colt,

Miss Elizabeth came away with a slight lead of Wings
of a Dove filly and Paris, the remainder following close
up to the distance where Paris took the lead, and at the
enclosure appeared to be winning easily. A few strides
from home Payne brought up Alberta, and after a fine
race home won very cleverly by a length. A bad third.
Northern Star was fourth, St. Thomas fifth, Miss Elizabeth
sixth, and Merry Monarch seventh. The winner was sold
to Mr. J. Wood for 180 guineas.

Betting-8 to 1 agst King of Spades, 4to 1 agst Lid-
dington, 5 to 1 agst Herennianus, 10 to 1 agst Gretna, and
100 to 8 agst any other.
After one false start, in which Gretna ran to the Stand
before being pulled up, the flag fell. The lot ran in a line
for the first 200 yards, when Liddington. took up the run-
ning, closely attended by Ammunition, King of Spades,
and Claymore. Columbine, well up, at the head of the
remainder. Within the distance the favourite made an
effort to reach Mr. Merry's horse, but giving way opposite
the Stand the race was left with the three placed, Lidding-
ton winning easily by a length, the same distance between
second and third. King of Spades was fourth, Columbine
fifth, Nike sixth, and Problem seventh. The remainder,
pulling up, came in widely scattered.
