Progress OF Aristocratic Detection from tho
Turf.
LONDON Sept. IL. 1869.
1t appears that we are to lose from the ranks Of
the arlstocratc supporters OF the turf Lord Rosebery
who joined them very recently. He has been
insulted into determination to retire by letter
which, under the signature of "A British sports
man." appeared In tae Telegraph His lordship ran.
1t is said, at Stockton a worthless animal called
Maveia, which the public considere good one,
and whom they backed so perslstenuy for her race
that she became first fayorite. On its being seen
That her party did not support her, and gave their
money aud confidence TO another candidate, she
retired In the betting to the great disgust and anger
Of her hackers. The reporter of q sporting paper,
70 the susplcion-a perfectly groundless one-that
the hily had been worked in the market and
therefore inserted his finger in the pie, and with
much display OF vlrtuous Indignation called on Lord
Rosebery to let the public know whether he had or
had not s'pulied" his ythat is to say, whether he
was or was not blacKleg.
His iorasnip was foolish enough to take notice OF
this letter and replied that he had never In his life
run a horse except with the ooect OF winning. lie
added that che doubted the wisdom or entering on
pursuit in which such statements fas those on
which the "Britlsh Sportsman" based his communi-

| The Byron Scnnda!--Reply to DIR. Winsiow.
/ To THE EDITOR or TIE LONDON Standard
| The courteous letter OF DR.. Forbes Winsow.
| which appears in your issue Of Monday, calls for
| few brief comments. The word "haluciuationu
was not applied to Lady Byron's state OF mind in
the strict sense attached to il by Dr. Wmsow as he
expresses 1t, "the psychological acceptatlon OF the
| phrase, an insane hallucnaticn." surely people
may entertain Authorizations without its being pos
| sole to pronounce them insane.
| Or. WInslow says:-.It Is quite Inconsistent with
the theory of Lady Byrons insanity imagine that
her deusion was restricted to the idea OF her hus-
| bands having committed incest.n Exactly the con-
LADY Byron was insane ON tina, one sole point II
| insanity were charged at all. But It is not 1t was
not an "insanen Authorization which suggested that
particular belief 1t was an hullucnation of less
defined, but more perilous sort which suggested 1t
and all other beliefs on the subject. Therefore,
when Or. Winsow says in another part OF mis- letter.
Neither Is It consistent with experience to suppose
that If Lady Byron had been monomaniac her
state Of diserdered understanding would have been
restricted TO one hallucination, our agreement be-
comes closer at least as far as facts are concerned
Her monomanla on the subject of her husband
| not confined TO one Authorization. IL pervaded the
entire matter, as has been abundantly proved during
the past fortnight. More than that. II Dr. Winsow
| will refer to Mr.. William Howitts letter. which
| appeared Ia the DdHn Ne,rs the same day his own
| was published IN your columns, lie will read that
| Lady Byron wrote series OF letters containing
| heavy charges not only against her own husband
| but against her own daughter.n
| The opinion OF DIR. Winsow is the opinion of an
expert, ana should be treated with all respect. But
he should remember that though Il has been his
special lot to be consulted about The conessedly in
sane, II is the lot OF nonprofessona people have
experience OF others who unhappiy falling short Of
that condition, do Infinitely more mischief by their
''hallucnationsn than If they could be authorIta-
| lively pronounced irresponsible ana summary en-
forced 10 cease from troubling society with their
comfortable tongues. This, az applied to Lady By
| ron may, to DR.. Wln5ow, possibly seem wanting IN
scientific precision. To men OF the world, however,
1t will possibly appear as Astounding In charity.
