THE " SECOND" FOR THE DERBY.

The investigation of the claim of the owner of Marionette
to the second money in the Derby took place immediately
after the race for the Oaks on Friday afternoon, before the
Duke of Beaufort, the lion. Admiral Rous, Arthur Heath-
cote, Esq.,. and C. 11. Carew, Esq., the stewards of the
meeting, in Mr. Dorling's office, at the Grand Stand.
The jockeys examined were Win. Day, S. Rogers, and
Charlton, the former of whom stated that, being on the
upper ground, he distinctly recognised what was before
him, and testified in favour of Marionette's claim. His
evidence was further confirmed by S. Rogers, who main-
tained he was second, and by Charlton, who deposed to G.
Oates finishing on Ticket of Leave, side by side with him
on the Glenluce colt, and that neither of them " saw the
winner," G. Oates was called but did not respond, having,

we believe, returned home with the horse on Thursday
morning before the protest was entered ; and the Stewards
asked Mr. Clark for his explanation. The judge thereupon
said that as the evidence exactly corroborated his own
opinion as to the positions of the horses, he would not per-
sist in his original decision, and further expressed his belief
that Marionette was entitled to second honours. He ex-
plained in extenuation of his error that the chair was only
a foot from the ground, a height by no means adequate
rightly to distinguish a large field of horses, and Marionette
being on the lower ground the difficulty was further in-
creased. He also argued that as the winner won by half a
length, and a neck each separated the second, third, and
fourth, it was equivalent to a length dividing the fourth
from the first, and The Promised Land (on the upper
ground) completely covering Sam Rogers, who was on the
lower ground, he was only enabled to get a cursory glance
at the colour, and from the similarity of that with
Ticket of Leave, he acted credibly and to the best
of his judgment when he placed the latter
second. Mr. Clark also informed the Stewards that
two years ago he complained of the present chair, and
asked Mr. Dorling for a new one, and appealed to the Clerk
of the Course whether he (Mr. Clark) had not drawn up a
plan for the alteration ? The iresent box is altogether in-
commodious and ill-constructed, and the inconvenience is
further increased by the near erection of Barnard's Stand
opposite to the post, the crowd on which materially impedes
the view.

Upon this, Mr. Dorling undertaking to erect a new chair
and to remove Barnard's Stand some feet back, the
Stewards pronounced the following decision :

" THE DERBY STAKES.

" The stewards hereby declare Marionette to be the
second horse in the Derby Stakes, and that Ticket of
Leave was placed second by mistake.
