TEE FRENCH DEBBY.—Many failures were made by
the amateur starter who endeavoured to get the horses
off for the "French Derby," and we understand that, in
consequence, the French Jockey Club have determined
upon securing the services of Mr. Edward Hibburd, of
Ascot, for the future.

BLINK BONNY.—This mare is slowly recovering, and
she has been pronounced out of danger. She is now en-
abled to eat with some ease, although the ulcers in her
throat are not yet removed.
A FORTUNATE JOCKEY.—WeIIs, the jockey, who in
mounts alone has had more than his share of good for-
tuno, has received many presents, in addition to the
1,000 to 10 which Sir Joseph himself betted against
Fitz Roland and Beadsman. In a few months he has
made more money than some of the most talented lite-
rary and professional men in a lifetime by laborious men-
tal employment.—Sunday Times.

SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT HAMPTON-

CO U RT-SATURDAY.

The annual sale of her Majesty's yearlings took place
at Hampton-court, on Saturday last, instead of at Tat-
tersail's, as on former occasions. There were 19 lots,
and perhaps handsomer or better looking animals bred
for the turf were never put up to public auction. There
was a strong muster of trainers, horse owners, and pa-
trons of the turf, lind after a while the bidding became
very brisk. A sumpti;ous collation at the lodge of Mr.
Ransom, the stud groom, 11-e;a provided, and after it had
been duly attended to by the .via;tore, the proceedings
commenced in the Royal paddocks, l_kfr. Tattersall as•
cending his rostrum just in front of the boa's of Orlando
and Barnton. The " lot" was pet up at aboZlt 0 ml.
nutes after one o'clock. The colt by Orlando oZ:t of
Eulogy, colt by Orlando out of Distaffina, the brothr:
to British Remedy, the colt by Melbourne out of Tarella,
and the filly by Loup-Garou out of Vanity, occasioned
some spirited competition. The last-mentioned, decid-
edly the most promising we have yet seen of Loup'
Garou's stock, was rapidly run up to 780 guineac, and
John Scott and John Day opposed ono another with
consideraLle spirit, Danebury ultimately onthidding
Whitewall House. The Queen's yearlings were gene-
rally admired, and realised high prices. Last year tii9
Royal yearlings, 16 in number, fetched 2,710 guineas,
being an average of 160 guineas. On Saturday 4,165
guineas were realised by the lot of 19, showing an ave-
rage c,f about 219 guineas. After the Royal sale an in-
terval of an hour occurred before Ml' Greville's young.
stern were brought to the hammer, and the coma any
adjourned to the shade of the chesnut trees, near the
Green, where the purchasers and lookers-on chatted and
lounged until Mr. Tattersall and the team of " juveniles"
made their appearance. As in the first sale, the auction
was supported with much spirit. Nana Sahib, Nicholas,
Refugee, and Chirp were ail handsome racing-like colts;
but Chirp, low, lengthy, and short-legged, for all the
world like a " stayer," was, to our thinking, the very
best colt offered to the public ou Saturday, Mr, Gm
