THE EPSON RACEs-DERBY DAY.


ALtAHAB.o, March ST.
THE EPSON RACES-DERBY DAY.
From The London Tima May ,
|, is useless attempting TO describe the Course Tor
those OF our readers who have seen it, aud stI more
hopeless TO attempt 10 portray It TO those VINO nave
NOT. The Downs on Derby day STAND alone rs d
spectacle ard there ID nothing else on earth Win
which one can compare them. Like battle OF
storm at sea, the impression which 1t leaves, though
deep is vague and undefnabe-as marked, yet "a IN,
distinct st.rward the great concourse Itself seemed
Yesterday. There appeared more pedestrians than
usual and fewer of those splendid turnouts
that used to form the glory of the ROAD.
For tne rest, all was much as usual. - Ine
at either eide, looked Ike monstrous ridge of peo-
ple-s very mountain Of human beings, while every
part Of the and bill swarmed with restless
crowd OF thousands upon thousands The lumioaries
of the prize ring had their booths up in great state,
mastering around them the sallOw, battered orna-
meLts OF the fstc world, up 70 the modern Pehdes-
the champion himself. There were Ayers, Nichol-
tons, ana all the wel.known names, with erechous
ore or less extensive, ard surrounded by host of
shsnes destined for every use, snd constructed IN
every conceivable shape material and color. There
were the san dense Of carriages with the bright
eyed daughters Of Egypt busy at al, ard their light
fingered brethren busy az many. There were card
sharpers, orgsngrnders, Niger meodlsts-genuine
ard counteriet-dsncers upon stills, acrobats, German
bands, gentlemen ladies' thieves and policemen, all
mixed that nGeCclbable crowd that goes 10 forms
Derby race course Here is company OF performing
dogs DUSTY and foot sore, yet still sitting up on their
hId legs, and wrestling with the spirit that tempts
them In pursuit Of biscuits flung down by the MS
chlevCus ard here tender infants, scarce able to
stard upon their feet, yet quite at home upon their
hands and turning Somersaults upon the parental DO
som. BsIo men and tambOurnlss are numerous and
such ia the progress Of science that go about
with coil, machines batteries and for the small
sum of penny distribute electric shocks among tho
crowd.
OF the four andtwenty animals on the card, only
BOtSpy--Wbs Withdrawn. and this fact attestod
the with lch Mr.. Dorling compiled his list Of
starters. On Tuesday the advance Of Toxophite
and the rise OF East LaDgton were the principal move
ments in the market. just before the race two more
important changes were made q perfect rage
eyinced for Eclipse, about whom ss little as 70
| was at one time taken, ard the " dark" Ethiopian
was brought to 10 to one, taken freely Lord Derbys
horse Toxopbih,e, maintained Ls position in the bet
ting to the close. People seemed puzzled u account
for the retIogressOn Of Fltz Roland, who however
We understand WAS beaten easily IN recent trial b.
Beads The result of the race sttesed the tratl
of this report. Wells had the option of riding which
OF Sir Joseph Haweys he pleased, ard he chose Beads
man
The start was admirably effected. The horses were
marched irto the hollow jus. outside the paddock
they fell into the clustef immediately, and Mr.. o.
burd dropped his hsg before the spectators gem
orally knew they were a. the post. We have ltsle 20
add TO the description Of the race given below. The
0efest Of Toxophite sofey disappointed his noble
owner, Lord Derby, who present. Beadsman
good stout horse, and 1t ID not little creditabe
q
Naming that lie should be enabled TO send horse TO
the post sufficiently well 10 win so important stake.
Sir Joseph Hawley has this sesson renewed his Ban,
Aphrodite and Teddlrgton riumphs, for with Beads
man at newmarket, in the Craven meeting, be won
stake worth about / 600, ard with him won half
the Newmarket Stakes. His crownpg success, how
ever, was TO win the Two thousand Gunees Stakes
with Fitz-Roland, and the Derby-tne blue riband OF
the turf-vith Beadsman.
