SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WARWICK RACES-TUESDAY

This meeting is invested with considerably more interest
than even the very excellent racing would command by the
great importance which attaches to it from the fact of the
being the last gathering of any importance previous to its
great St. Leger, and standing in the same position to that
event as Bath does to the Derby. During the afternoon the
transactions on the St. Leger were remarkable for the in-
creased support awarded, to Lord Lyon, and the wavering
position of Savernake, who fluctuated from 7 to 2 to 4 to 11
The weather was very disagreeable, rain falling almost
without intermission during the running, nevertheless the
attendance was very large, larger than on any previous
anniversary. The ring was well represented, professional
racing men mustering in great force. The racing, it will
bo seen from the appended returns, was very good, forming
a marked contrast to the miserable exhibitions all over the
country last week ;

and Beeswing closed, and they ran together until fairly in
the straight, where Beeswing took a slight load of Whirli-
gig, Vespasian lying third, and Sister to Minie some dis-
tance in the rear. At the commencement of the enclosure
Whirligig made an effort, but failed to reach Beeswing,

The Mont Blanc Catastrophe.

In relation to the late accident which occurred to
Mr. Young we have been favoured by her Majesty's
Consul at Geneva with the following letter from
Mr. Loppe, a well-known artist in glacier scenes :

" Chamounix, Aug. 29.
"My dear Consul,—.l think it is useless for mo to relate
to you in detail what has just happened on Mont Blanc.
You must be already overwhelmed with accounts and de-
scriptions, &c., more or less true, arranged according to the
imagination of each narrator, which is always more poetical
or dramatical than the simple truth. As soon as it was
known that some accident had happened to these unfortu-
nate Englishmen just below the summit of Mont Blanc, we
set off, myself and two guides on the one hand, and seven
other guides sent by the Mayor of Chamounix, and accom-
panied by two gendarmes, the latter little accustomed to
the glaciers, and who retarded us greatly.
" At last, at 7 o'clock in the evening, we reached the
cabin of the Grands Mulets. As we were preparing to start
from there in search of those we supposed to bo eitherhurt
or incapable of extricating themselves from among tho
precipices, we saw them arrive—that is to say, two of them
only, the other having been, they told us, killed instan-
taneously by falling on his head from a height of 20 feet.
These travellers were Sir George Young and his two
brothers ; the youngest, Mr. Samuel Young, was the un-
fortunate victim of the accident. Sir George expressing
to me a wish to endeavour to recover his brother's body, I
chose six of the most able of the guides to accompany him.
The others would only have been an hindrance, as they
were already tired and indisposed bythe quantities of snow
water they had drunk on their way up. The party left'
at a quarter to three o'clock, and I remained at the cabin
with au Englishman, who had on our arrival most kindly
placed his guides and provisions at our disposition.

party did not return, I proposed that we should go to meet
them, and take some provisions with us. After having
been an hour on the road we met a party of Frenchmen
returning from Mont Blanc, who gave us some very vague
information of the others.

" We began to feel alarmed, the fog which enveloped the
mountains grew thicker as we ascended, and a fine snow
began to fall. Arrived at the Grand Plateau at 3 o'clock,
and hearing no answer to our numerous cries, myself, Ba-
guette, and Alexandre Tournier pressed forward. At last
we heard the voices of Sir George and his guides, who had
lost their way above the precipices that separate the Corridor
from the Great Plateau, and who dared not advance a step
for fear of being precipitated into a crevasse. The difficult y
was to give them any certain advice. At last a gust of wind
dispersed the fog, and we saw them at a height of 1,000 feet
on the edge of a frightful declivity of ic3. 1 recognised a
comparatively easy passage at the foot of the Rochers Rouges,
and by force of signs, they having seen us, we directed
them which way to take. At last, thanks to the energy
of Baguette, we were able to join them, and my two men
helped to bring down the body, which was accomplished
with difficulty. Sir George shook me by the hand, and I
was indeed thankful to have been able to render this ser-
vice to a man whose energy and moral courage was a sub-
ject of admiration to me. Our provisions proved of great
use to the exhausted party, who told us the rronchmen
had refused the aid they had asked of them, and that owing
to the bad weather they had gone astray near the Corridor.
Jean Croy and Sir George were the only ones who had
kept up their energy to the last. By 7 o'clock wo were all
once more at the Grands Mulets. Leaving the body there
under the charge of Dr. Depray, Sir George and I proceeded
to Chamounix, he being anxious to return as soon as pos-
sible to England to carry the melancholy intelligence of
the accident to his mother. Tho body arrived at Chamou-
nix on Saturday at 2 o'clock, and was conveyed to England
on Sunday by Mr. Albert Young.
" I remain, my dear Consul, over yours sincerely,

" G. LOPPE.7
In a subsequent letter M. Loppe adds the follow-
ing details :-
4‘ In the first place, let mo declare myself to bo loss severe
towards your countrymen than you have expressed yourself.
Tho gentlemen in question were strong, robust, intelligent
men, i&customed to glacier work—tho oldest especially
might compote with the steadiest guides that I know ; at
least such is the opinion of my friend Baguette, an expert
in such matters, who has declared before a crowd of other
guides that there are not 20 in Chamounix to compare with
that gentleman. Coming to the question of not having taken
any guides the charge is puerile. Nearly all the guides have
made their glacier studios without being led by others, and
they have sought out the road for themselves, whether by
striking out ways for themselves or by adopting the ex-
perience of others. Last year we readily traversed theOber-
Aargoek and a host of other peaks, and yet none of us had
before passed by that route. The three gentlemen in ques-
tion might well expect alone to make the ascent of Mont
Blanc ; they had neglected no precautions that were neces-
sary in such excursions. Provided with good clothing,
good iron-tipped boots, they had but to follow the path
traced in the snow by a party that had preceded them.
They arrived safely at the summit of Mont Blanc by about
half-past 10 a.m. The accident which subsequently oc-
curred is owing to a fortuitous circumstance quite indepen-
dent of the locality in which it happened. The heat, which
on the previous day had been rather great, had caused the
superficial snow on the Calotte to melt, which, however,
the next day presented a hard and slippery surface. In
seeking an easier passage from Les Petits Mulcts, the foot
of ono of the brothers (Mr. Albert Young) slipped, and
he began to slide down, dragging with him successively
his two brothers. Their fall was in itself in no wise
dangerous ; the two elder, who fell first, were simply
stunned, and remained motionless for a few minutes ; but
the youngest, who was the last, fell so unfortunately (no
doubt on his head) that the vertebral column was broken
between the eighth and ninth ribs, according to the surgeon's
report. The height from which they fell was only from 20
to 80 feet. The moments which followed must halo been
frightful for the survivors, but at that period their position
was observed at Chamounix, and was judged to be perilous.,
In fact, the cold is so intense at that height that there is a
risk of being frozen in an hour or two. Happily that mis-
fortune did not occur, as on that day the temperature was at
that height not insupportable. These gentlemen were unable
to say how long they remained near their brother's corpse,
and I had to give them information upon that point from
what I had observed through my telescope. Thus the
rumours which bad been propagated concerning this
catastrophe arise rather on account of the place whore it
has happened. If it had occurred upon a second-rate moun-
tain, or even upon ordinary glaciers, there would have been
only a commonplace notice of it in the daily journals, and
no more would have been said. These three gentlemen
had made a more dangerous ascent a few days before, hav-
ing passed over the Col de Sagoroux with two feet of snow
on its summit."
After giving some further details of the efforts
which he with others made to afford assistance to
the unfortunate tourists, M. Loppc adds that the
