After two false starts off went Cadland at a pa 4 bat, drlth 'het
Colonel, Zinganee, Alcaston, and Omen closely laid in, and the
others tolerably well placed behind. They kept in this pOsirion till
they made the turn at Tatteuhani Corner, and got into straight
running. The Colonel then came up, and was Instantly followed
by Alcaston, Zinganee a little behind him. A very severe and in-
teresting struggle ensued within the chains ; Alcaston,•however,
stopped when within the last 200 yards, and Zingabee imniediately
took his place, and between these three a pretty ran took them to
within twenty or thirty yards °thorny, where Znianee, after look-
ing well for a winner, was beat off, leaving the stakes to be con-
tested by Cadland and Tye Colonel, who finished a most beautiful
race with a dead heat. None but those we have spoken of had any
chance in the race. In the early part of the race, a serious accident
betel that excellent little jockey, Conolly, who ode Scipio; both
himself and his horse were knocked down by one of the other
horses, and he was much hurt, but without having any bones
toted ; he was immediately bled, and taken off the course in a Grip
tieman's curride. The tame jockey was knocked down and rode
over, when riding Fleur de Lis fur the St. Leger, in Memnon's
year. We are happy to add, that he is not considered dangerously
butt.

The sensation occasioned by the ttolooked.for event above de-
scribed did not subside for some time, and many would hardly
credit that it was a dead best, such an event never having before
occurred for the Derby or Oaks, or, we believe. at Epsom. It
being decided that the second beat should be run after the Durdains
Stakes, betting began anew between The Colonel and Cadland,
the former haviog the call at 6 to 5, from au Idea that he left off
fresher, and was made of mere lasting materials. At about twenty
minutes before five o'clock (tbe Donlan having been decided) the
second race came off, and the Derby was decided. Cadland again
set off at good sound running, being well looked after by The
Colonel, and so they went to the chains, where the latter made play
and got up. A desperate contest followed, and lasted to the lam
few strides, when Cadland got a-lkead suflitient*to win the Derby
by half a length. Two finer races were never seen for either Derby,
Oaks, St. Leger, or any other Stakesr—We know not which meet
to admire—the excellence of the running, or the admirable skill
displayed in the riding. His Grace the Duke of Rutland nets

cooTirs MATCH.
Last night toe grounds of the Green Man, Kent-road, bad an
extra number of visitors, but probably not so many by far as would
have been, bad not the Derby day at Epsom interfered. It was
generally understood that the labours of the pedestrian were to ter-
atinate at nine o'clock at night. The garden was tastefully done
up for the event. The arbours and sheds were bedecked with
variegated lamps, and at the far extremity was a handsome device.
" H.C." surmounted by a star in lamps; a device of " C." and a
similar star, fronted it at the other extremity.inity. Two bands of made
attended,and strummed up " The Conquering Hero," with all the
appropriate auxiliaries of drums and trumpets. The scene was
altogether gay--a-la-VauxhalL

became boundless; the last bout but one of walking he rather ap-
peared, for once, fagging, but as be waddled along, at every turn he
was cheered by a storm of buzzas and a einving oehandkerchiefs.
On his last attempt his manner was much changed, a private bet
had been laid that he would perform the last mile and a quarter in
141 minutes, which required some exertion, and be worked with
much spirit, and accomplished it easily. He was borne in triumph,
elevated on the shoulders of a party, round the garden, amidst tre-
mendous confusion of music and congratulations. On the whole,
considering the immense undertaking-1,250 miles in 1,000 hours,
he was really in wonderful condition when be had finished; and it
is said that he will be backed at odds of 3to 1, for large stakes, to
perform the match again shortly.
