to have fallen upon evil times. Since the clay when
Dundee ran home in the Derby of 1861, literally
" on three legs.," second to Kettle:lawn, Mr. Merry
has been tantalised with the pessessbn of a series cf
splendid cripples, such as Liddington, Student, and
Marksman. The latter—although in the early part
of August backed for the St. Leger in hundreds,
down to 8 to I—failed to stand his L--ger prepara-
tion, and there being no help far it, his owner was
compelled to scratch the horse w: had only been
beaten a neck by Hermit in the Derby, and who, it
is fair to presume, with health and soundness, must
have proved at least formidable on the Doncaster
Town Moor. Not until the York Meeting was
the common opinion that the St. Leger was' re-
duced to a match between Hermit and Vauban
suddenly dissipated. Achievement had since her
defeats in the summer retired from public life,
and was allowed to rest herself in the vale
of East Ilsley. Continual repprts emanated there-
from, stating that the mare seemed to be benefit-
ing by the change, and that the indulgence she was
allowed was invigorating her immensely, improving
her action, and developing
her muscle. Indeed, it
was suggested that she was no longer a lank skele-
ton, as in the Oaks, but full of power and life. This
intelligence, however, was received with indiffer-
ence, and the public had evidently lost their faith in
the mare, and she could not easily revive the recol-
lection of her brilliant prowess as a two-year-old.
On the only occasion she met Hermit as a two-
year-old, in the Woodeote Stakes at Epsom, she
beat him by three lengths ; and in extenuation of
that performance it was asserted that the colt got
off badly at the start, and hence his defeat. Still
the backers considerel that the St. Leger was bound
to fall to one of the two horses—Hermit or Vauban
—until the Great Yorkshire Stakes shed an entirely
new light upon the race. Vauban had been
brought out for several engagements, including the
Cup at Goodwood and the Biennial at York, and
he beat inferior horses in such a "slovenly" fashion
that the suspicion was becoming prevalent that he
was losing form or getting jaded by continuous
work and public racing. Achievement, fresh from
the Berkshire hills, went to York to meet Vauban
in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the result is now
well known. Vauban was totally unable to live
with the mare, and Fordham finding the Duke's
horse hopelessly beaten stopped him, and Achieve-
ment won in the grand old style, with her ears
cocked as in a mere exercise canter, by ten lengths.
Her reputation was by this performance restored at
once, while Vauban was forthwith driven to an out-
side price. Lord Lyon had Wen immensely popu-
lar, and his sister Achievement was even more in
favour with the public. Since the Great Yorkshire
Stakes many thousands of pounds have been 'en-
trusted to the mare, and so enthusiastic were her
followers that at one time she trod closely upon the
heels of the favourite in the quotations. On Friday
a demonstration commenced against her, and she
was driven to as much as 3 to 1, on the strength of
a report that she was coughing. Other sinister ru-
mours were in circulation, but the arrival of Achieve-
ment at Doncaster on Tuesday afternoon increased
the confidence of her partisans, and, as the records
of the betting showed, since Monday she has been
backed for no less a sum than £30,000 at least, the
Marquis of Hastings being her most spirited sup-
porter. Vauban, although he had so tarnished his
name by his overthrow at York, was not quite de-
serted by his friends, and was occasionally backed
at prices ranging from 12 to 1 to 8 to 1. Some con-
cern was expressed among his early backers when
it was ascertained that he would be deprived of his
usual jockey's services. Fordham was not present
at the meeting in consequence of the death of his
eldest child on Tuesday morning. The Duke of
Beaufort was accordingly compelled to seek the ser-
vices of Parry, the Newmarket jockey, who, it will
be remembered, rode Vauban with great patience
and judgment for the Goodwood Cup, and who has
frequently appeared in the dudishhoops. C ash n ee is
the regular jockey of Mr. Chaplin, and would have
ridden Hermit in the Derby, had not that horse-
man solicited to ride The Rake instead, presuming
that the son of Newminster and Seclusion had by
recently going amiss jeopardised his chance hope-
lessly. Johnny Daley thus secured that most lucky
mount, and to-day the latter steered Julius for the
Duke of Newcastle, who since the Derby has been
Daley's first master. Julius has always held a high
rank in the estimation of his noble owner and his
trainer, Matthew Dawson, although he signally dis-
appointed both in the Two Thousand and Derby.
He was another "horse of excuses," and many be-
lieved that he only required fresh opportunities to
demonstrate his superior merit. That he once ran
Lord Lyon to a head at weight for age over the
latter's own course, one mile, was sufficient to show
that he possessed fine speed, and having improved
greatly of late he had plenty of backers for a place,
and he made such a favourable impression, after
being seen at Doncaster, that his position was
mended some points to win absolutely ; but the
special desire with those who had entrusted him with
money was to back him to finish in the first three.
The Marquis of Hastings, who seemed to have
backed almost everything likely to run for the Leger,
became the purchaser of the victorious handicap
three year old Challenge before the horse ran in
the Ebor Handicap, and this animal is supposed
to win some £40,000, at outside prices, for the off
chance. Fervacques made his reputation abroad by
winning the Grand Prix of Paris, after a dead heat
with Patricien,• and subsequently he won the
Northumberland Plate at Newcastle very easily.
This horse is a son of the
popular Northern hero
Underhand, and being trained by Fobert, of Mid-
dlehatn, who also trained the famous Flying Dutch-
man, no victory would have been more enthusiasti-
cally received in the broad-acred county of York-
shire. John Scott, whose potency was formerly a
household word in connexion with the St. Leger,
had on the present occasion the ungenerous Taraban
—one of those animals known to possess private
merits, but obstinately refusing to display them
when they could remunerate, his owner. Careful
expedients have been adopted to make him keep his
heart in the right place, and pluck out the " white
feather." A hood and blinkers have been put on
him that he might not see his most dangerous oppo-
nents, and he has been indulged with a pint bottle
of the best port before starting, despite the adage of
" throwing pearls before swine," and all to no pur-
pose. The introduction of a totally unexpected
outsider into the betting within the past -few days
served to give the race an international character.
The new candidate for St. Leger honours was
Count Lagrange's colt Longchamps, by Monarque
out of Etoile du Nord, who had never run at home
or abroad, and who it was thought possessed suffi-
cient promise to be backed for an off chance. The
Danebury patrons were evidently determined to
have a pace to suit Vauban, and so Duchess was
supposed to be started. The betting that took place
at the Rooms at Doncaster on the eve of the St.
Leger has already been fully reported by telegram,
and needs no recapitulation here. Throughout the
evening previously there was a wonderful race be-
tween Hermit and Achievement for premiership in
the quotations, and when at midnight 60 to 40 was
laid against Hermit, the news spread in every direc-
tion, and " the mare's favourite" were the last
word's upon everybody's lips when the crowds dis-
persed from the Rooms and vicinity.
The St. Leger morning never opened more cheer-
fully or encouragingly. The air possessed a delight-
ful September freshness, and the sun shone brightly.
From six o'clock in the morning heavily laden special
and express trains began to arrive from the large
manufacturing towns in the neighbourhood, Leeds,
Sheffield, Bradford, and York being strongly repre-
sented ; and by noon the influx of visitors from the
metropolis itself, and from the Southern and Mid-
land districts; rendered the streets impassable. The
excitement was unprecedented, and the names of
Hermit and Achievement were heard even above the

scream of locomotives, the cries of card-sellers, and
the geacral clamour ; in fact the carnival of the
North had set in with all its accustomed intensity.
The heavy betting of the two previous nights had
apparently exhaa_ted speculators; for this morning
at the Rooms business vas but lanalfdly carried on,
the two favourites having equal friends. Without
any demonstration 65 to 40 was accepted respec-
tively about Hermit and Achievement, opinion being
still divided as to which would start absolutely first

favourite. Meanwhile Vauban and Julius had
clianged places in the quotAtions, the former declin-
ing to 1,000 to 60, whilst the odds of 1,000 to 70
were freely accepted about the Duke of Newcastle's
colt. Challenge was friendless at 25 to 1, but Fer-
vacques had numerous friends at 30 to 1. There
was a growing disposition to back Van Amburgh,
seeing which bookmakers decreased their offers, and
not more than 40 to 1 was forthcoming, whilst
would-be backers stood out for 50 to 1. Those odds
were betted against Longchamps, and one inquiry
after Taraban met with an offer of 100 to 1. People
were prepared for an enormous attendance, but the
assemblage far exceeded all the expectations that had
been formed. The muster in the Ring wasvery great,
and the excitement that prevailed has certainly never
been exceeded, if, indeed, equalled. The weather was
most favourable for witnessing the race, there being
an equal absence of glare and haze, and the racecourse
was as clearly defined when viewed from the Grand
Stand as a carefully drawn map or plan. The scene at
Epsom on the Derby-lay has often been described,
but the spectacle preientedby the Town Moor at Don-
caster is not so familiar to south country readers. The
contrast furnished by these two great meetings is
extraordinary. Here, all down the course, as far as
the Red House (the well-known point famous in
many a St. Leger story), there was a dense and
sombre mass of people, and when they closed in
after the decision of the first race they spread over

the lower end of the course in a broad black mass of
apparently countless thousands. The only holiday
aspect the course presented was on the far side,
where a double row of drags and carriages, extend-

ing some distance down, were graced by ladies
dressed in gay and elegant attire. The varied hues
of costume, blending with the green fresh moor,
daintily dotted with its white posts and rails,
presented a most picturesque appearance. Amidst
the dusky and impenetrable throngs of pedestrian
spectators the bright scarlet coats of the huntsmen
clearing the course were strikingly conspicuous.
The summit of the Stewards' Stand also helped to
enliven the scene. Here were assembled the elite of
the racing patrons with their ladies, the latter not
caring to conceal the interest they felt in the cele-
brated mare Achievement. The three minor races
which preceded the St. Leger were treated with
comparative indifference by the majority of the
spectators, but it did not escape notice that Sir
Joseph Hawley's Xi won the Corporation Plate
with Bst.lllb, ridden by French, and not Wells, the
jockey so long identified with the successes of the
cherry jacket, and the horseman oi Musjid and
Beadsman. It was evident that the owner of Blue
Gown regarded most seriously the Champagne
Stakes fiasco. While the three races before men-
tioned were being run off, the St. Leger candidates
began to arrive in that wretched piece of stubble
called " the Common land," which at Doncaster—
one of the finest racing arenas in Europe—is made
to serve for a saddling paddock. Here the vari-
ous competitors were fairly mobbed by a
miscellaneous crowd. Achievement was led
into the stables at the back of the Stand, and
to the surprise of many she was saddled fully
half an hour before the time appointed for
the race, and brought on the course first, when
Dover led her about with Challoner up, wearing the

Hermit succeeded iu reaching the mare's quarters,
the effort was futile, for Challoner had only to let
out Achievemetieto secure a length lead, which was

m•►iataineil to the- end. Julius was ridden out for
the hundred pounds for the second horse, and was
only deprived of it by a Lead. Vauban was fourth,
half a dezm lengths off, his stable companion
(Challenge) being next. Taraban ran much better
than was anticipated of him, but Longchamps and
Fervacques were never formidable. No sooner had

the mare passed the post than the pent-up enthu-
si,isin of the multitude burst forth, and the people
swayed and pressed forward to get near their idol.
The police were unable to keep the crowd back, and
the excitement was even greater than when Achieve-
ment's brother, Lord Lyon, won the same race last
year. The victress returned to weigh in amidst
deafening and reiterated cheers, and the crowd
seemed almost wild with delight, a hundred bands
patting her at once, and thousands of voices shout-
ing her victorious name. Some of her more de-
monstrative admirers even endeavoured and occa-
sionally contrived to snatch a hair from her tail, as
a memento of her triumph. It was with the utmost
difficulty Challoner could force his way back with
the mare ; while Colonel Pearson—the very type of
Thackeray's " Colonel Newcome"—stalked sedately
at her side with an air of quiet pride, whir.th he well
might feel, having Ired two such horses as Lord
Lyon and his sister Achievement. Custance
looked pale and chagrined. He had unfortunately
declined to ride Hermit in the Derby ; while in
the Oaks he had been defeated on Achieve-
ment. To-day he had been beaten by the very
mare with whom he had been identified, and whose
overthrow in the Oaks had alienated him from
her colours. There could scarcely be a greater
accumu'ation of cross-purposes for any jockey.
James Dover, of Ilsley, has now had the good for-

tune to train the winners of two successive St.
Legers, and Challoner, one of the most able and skil-
ful horsemen of the day, has thus ridlen•three St.
Leger conquerors, namely, Caller On, The Marquis,
and Achievement. The Marquis of Hastings is un-
doubtedly the largest winner, as his lordship had
backed the mare for thousands since the York Meet-
ing, and, in the parlance of the turf, " would not be
stalled off." Colonel Pearson, the owner and breeder
of Achievement, has probably won a comparatively
small stake. He is a sportsman who bets but to
little money. The public were right in conjecturing
that the race would resolve itself into a match be-
tween Hermit and Achievement, and " public form"
was verified, as the only time Hermet ever met
Achievement last year he was overthrown easily,
while the running of the Great Yorkshire Stakes
was for once in a way borne out to the letter by
the distance Vauban finished from the winner. The
remainder of the day's sport calls for no special re-
mark, and full details of this eventful day will be
found recorded below.

right. At the

Red House Lord Glasgow's colt dropped away from the
front rank, and soon after Taraban began to tire, giving
way half a mile from home to Vauban (who lay next the
rails), The Palmer, Achievement, Hermit, Julius, and
Challenge. On rounding the turn The Palmer was beaten,
and running slightly out, Citalloner brought up Achieve-
ment, Custance also taking advantag) of the opening,
while Jane, right in the track of the mare, was now
fourth, Challenge being close np with him. Achievement
almost immediately a isumed a slight lead, aufl Vauban
being In d:lll,mities at the distance, th' rac.., according to
general antleipation, became a match between the two
favourite:;. L:_nut shouts soon 'proclaimed that Custanco
had fairly sat down to ride Hermit, and at the commence-
ment of th 7 inclosure the contest was over, as Challoner
had merely to call upon Achievement, and answering in-
stantly, she increased her advantage and woo easily lay a
length. Julius, who passed Vauban within the distance,
finisheil gamely, and catching Hermit at every stride, was
defeated by a head only for the 100 sovereigns for the
second horse. Vauban, six lengths off, was fourth, Chal-
lenge, Taraban, and Longchamps passing the post next,
at the same interval in the order named ; Fervacques was
eighth, Lord Glasgow's colt ninth, Van Amburgh tenth,
and The Palmer eleventh. The Duchess walked in with
the crowd, having been pulled up half a mile from home.

The mare was instantly mogniied by a roar and a
general swaying of the expectant multitude. Mean-
while Custance, Captain Machell, and the followers
of Hermit were sauntering in front of the Stand,
and directly the " crack" was seen near the starting
post he was at once surrounded. Hermit was actu-
ally the last saddled, and the backers of the Derby
winner were in a breathless state of impatience,
especially when Achievement was cantering proudly
down, as if throwing out a defiant challenge to her
rival. As soon as Custance mounted, and Mr.
Chaplin, Captain Machell, and the trainer led him
to do battle, there was a great outburst of cheering,
which was renewed again and again. When the

In excellent time the competitors' numbers were dis-
played, and they made their appearance. Achievement
and Hermit were attended by a large number of admirers,
and as they cantered down to the other ton waiting for
them they were loudly cheered by the multitude. The
signal being given, the preliminary cantors were taken.
Lord Glasgow's unnamed colt and Taraban leading, fol-
lowed by Hermit, Van Amburgh, Achievement, and
Longchamps, The Palmer and Julius bringing up the
roar. The going of the two favourites was much ad-
mired, and the backers of both looked equally confident.
When paraded before the Stand it was seen Hermit was a
little fidgety and sweated profusely, while Achievement,
on the other hand, appeared cool and remarkably quiet
They barely got to the post when those anxious to get off
broke away, and the next attempt at a start was equally
unsuccessful, as Longchamps almost overpowered Grim-
shaw snit bolted round the turn. After a little manoeuvring,
however, M‘George despatched them on very even terms
when the uSual shout "They're off" was hoard ringing far
and wide, and every eye was bent upon the race, which
had commenced in earnest. Vauban, Longchamps, Julius,
and Taraban, nearly abreast, were the first to obtain any
apparent advantage, but when they hadfairly settled down
to work, Longchamps showed in advance of Vauban, Julius,
and Taraban, Lord Glasgow's colt, The Duchess, and
Challenge lying next, and in the track of these follow-
ing Hermit, Tho Palmer, and Achievement, while the
rear was brought up by Van Amburgh and For-
vaccines, the latter several lengths behind the " lion-
tamer." When about two hundred prds had been
covered, Taraban, improving the pace, rushed to the
front, and took a clear lead of Tho Duchess, who at
first ran very shiftily, but whom Hibberd; to make
the running for the Danebury pair, had now succeeded in
getting to the front rank. The only noticeable alteration
in the position of the remainder was in that of Julius,
whom Daley steadied, Achievement and Hermit at the
same moment changing places, the mare now being in
advance of Mr. Chaplin's colt. As they commenced the
gradual ascent before disappearing from the view of the
occupants of the Grand Stand, Hibberd, by dint of perse
verance, got the Duchess to assume the lead, but the jade
could only maintain her position for a short while, and
when they reappeared in sight Taraban still was first,

second to save his stake. Red House in. 47 subs.

Minnie Warren, followed by Lady Diana, Belphegor,
John Leech, and Charnwood, made play throughout, the
Marquis of Hastings's filly winning cleverly by three-
quarters of a length from Belphegor, who was second, a
head only in advance of Charnwood; John Leech was
fourth, Adosinda fifth, Lady Diana sixth, Pompano seventh,
Corinne eighth, Russian Bear ninth, and Kimner tenth ;

which Lecturer decreased Go :dwood's lead, and at the Red
House the four again closed and ran together to the bend,
where Grand Cross was beaten. Goodwood maintained
his advantage to the distance, at which point Lecturer gave
way, and Lord Glasgow's colt taking up the running won
easily by two lengths; a bad third. Grand Cross walked

anl all—especially
those who had no opportunity of seeing her since
Ascot—looked wonderfully improved, and had ap-
parently not only laid on muscle, but grown and
developed in a most surprising manner. As James
Dover led her about, prior to the start, she betrayed
none of those symptoms of fretfulness which arc too
often exhibited by her sex, but, on the contrary,
was cool and collected, while her coat was as fine
as satin. Hermit, on the other hand, and to the
alarm and surprise of his friends, perspired freely
after his preliminary canter, and where the rein
chafed his neck a white lather mark was visible.
He was somewhat restive, and when Custance rode
him down to join the other horses, who were wait-
ing for him, the Derby hero stopped short midway
in the straight, and " sidled" in a nervous and
irritable manner. The condition of Julius reflected
the highest credit upon his trainer, Matthew Daw-
son, and competent judges pronounced his appear-
ance as magnificent. As it was known that the Duke
of Newcastle had supported his colt heavily for " a
place," much interest was felt in the son of St.
Albans. The Danebury team—Vauban, Challenge,
and The Duchess—attracted A great deal of atten-
tion, and it may be mentioned here that the report
of Verulam having been borrowed to make the
running for Vauban proved untrue. Fordham,
under the circumstano3s mentioned above, was
absent from Vauban, and the mount was entrusted
to Parry. Fervacques was almost unheeded, and
Taraban, Vam Amburgb, and The Palmer were
destitute of admirers. Lord Glasgow, who loves to
see his colours represented in the great Northern
contest, started his Maid of Masham colt, and the
horse was somewhat ostentatiously paraded about
with a leading-rein. After the competitors had
taken their preliminary canters, Mr. M'George
marshalled them past the Stand slowly, and when
he got them to the starting-post the excitement was
intense, and each breaking-away was greeted with
great shouts, culminating in a deafening roar when
the red flag fell, and " They're off !" reverberated
through the air. Vauban's colours were the most
prominent for a few strides, but Taraban soon after
took up the running, and with the slight exception
of The Duchess having the lead for a couple of
hundred yards, John Scott's horse showed the way
till within half a mile from home, when he was
beaten. Vauban, The Palmer, Achievement, Her-
mit, Julius, and Challenge being now in front. Sir
Joseph Hawley's colt ran well to the turn, where
Huxtable, finding he was dead beaten, very
properly pulled on one side, letting up Achievement
and Hermit. Vauban looked formidable on enter-
ing the straight, but evidently being unable to stay
he was disposed of before reaching the distance,
this circumstance proving that a better pace than
he had in the Derby was absolutely to his dis-
advantage ; indeed, the indifferent pace at Epsom
must solely have got him where lie finished, this
conclusion being borne out by the fact of Julius so
easily beating him. The tussle in the last 3(.10
yards was most exciting, but to the initiated it was
plain Custance was sitting down and fairly riding
Hermit. At the half-distance a tremendous shout
announced the approaching defeat of the Derby
conqueror, as Custance was seen to raise his whip,
and although at the commencement of the enclosure
