THE EARL SCANDAL.
(From the Sporting Life.)
The scratching of The Earl for the St. Leger has been
an animated topic of conversation ever since the news
became generally known last Saturday, and our corres-
spondent "Augur" supplies some startling facts with re-
ference to the affair published in his letter to-day. Mr.
Padwick, who has hitherto been made the principal scape-
goat, appears to be wishful to clear himself of the odium
attaching to the business, and so much is he in earnest to
have all the facts elicited that he resolved to remain no
longer silent under the lash of public criticism, and yes-
terday (Tuesday) addressed the following letter to the
Stewards of the Jockey Club :
" To the Stewards of the Jockey Club.

"My Lords and Gentlemen,—lt is with much regret I
am induced to trouble you on a personal matter, but as an
owner of racehorses for nearly thirty years, I feel that
I have some claim on your consideration, having been
made the subject of much abuse, and imputations cast
on me with reference to circumstances which occurred
on the late Derby and the forthcoming St. Leger.
I have therefore respectfully to request you will
cause a strict investigation to be made into all the
circumstances in any way relating to the striking of The
Earl out of the above-mentioned races, and I readily tender
you every facility in my power to render the investigation
as searching and complete as possible.
" I have the honour to remain,
"Yours most obediently,
" PADWICK.

"Doncaster, September 8, 18G8."
It is to bo hoped that the Stewards will accede to this pro-
position of the owner of Athena. At all events it should
gratify all connected with the turf to find a gentleman who
has been so well abused coming forward to vindicate him-
self. It will be perceived that Mr. Padwick not only
courts the strictest investigation to be made into the cir-
cumstances, not only attending the scratching of The
Earl for the St. Leger, but for the Derby also. The pro-
babilities of this affair have been warmly discussed at
Doncaster, and there will be a sense of relief if the whole
business is satisfactorily cleared up. The following letter
was posted in the rooms last night :
" Infirmary for Horses, No. 91, Park-street, Grosvenor-
square, London, Sept. 5, 1868.
_ _

"I hereby certify that I have this day examined, at
Danebury, by request of the Marquis of Hastings, a
thoroughbred horse called The Earl, and am of opinion
that the said horse is lame from a strain of the suspensory
ligament of his near fore leg, and quite unfit to rug in the
approaching St. Leger race.
" Mavoit, Veterinary Surgeon, M.R.C.V.S."
