Oaks, and they turned the tables on their con
auerors in the most decisive manner.


good as from her breeding she ought to be- and she
did not start The veteran Marsyas the sire OF
George Frederick, has just been laid low by friendly
bullet, and Mr.. Cartwright his owner, has raised
monument to his memory. The Fyneld division,
though they took nominations to the Oaks had
not Q nyer among them, and Lord Falmouth, who
won last year with Spinaway, had nothing better to
represent his splendid breeding establishment than
the Flrt, and she did not face the starter. very
promising my belonging to Mr.. Baltaz1, called
Corydalis was at one time expected TO do great
things, but unfortunately, when running In . race
last year. she was driven against the rails and cut
very severely, since which time we have not seen
much OF her, and she did not respond to the sum-
mons Gem OF Gems, y very grand looking lilly, also
met with an accident. She hadwon at race at Don
caster and ON her return home she got cast in rail-
way box and was severely hurt and her owner
did not start her. Another smart flly, for whom
5000 had been refused, was killed in q railway
collision brought about by gross negligence.
This was hard on the owner as, according to the
law OF England, the railway company are liable un-
der such circumstances only to the extent Of $3.50.
Solitude, who cost nearly $1o,5oo as yearling and
is half sister to Hermit who won the Derby, was at
one time believed to be wonder, but she was last
in the One Thousand Guineas, and did not appear
to-day. Her owner, however can afford such dis
appointments as he gets $500 year out Of Bass
bitter beer. Pucherrima, the daughter Of Formosa,
who won the Oaks in the year that Lady Elizabeth
was competitor, cannot stay half mile, and was
not trusted Levant, the property Of Lord Rose
berry, had the merit Of having won o race over the
course, but since then she has showed the most
hayward temperament.
ROYALTY NOT PRESENT
The attendance was grand in every respect, but
the representatives Of royalty usually In force to
witness the decision Of this interesting race, were
absent, proving great disappointment.
THE STARTERS
OF the 1875 subscribers only fourteen were thought
1T to send to the post These were Count Lagranges
Camelia and stable companion Alumette, NJ. A.

TIE BETTING.
The betting before the start ruled to against
Enguerrande, to against Camelia, 8 to against
Levant to against La Seine, to against Liris,
Is to against Irvine the Paiden and 20 to against
all the others.
The fourteen competitors assembled in good time
and when the flag fell went away on equitable
terms. La Seine first drew out from the cluster and
going the 'front.' maintained the post Of honor for
mile and the excited lookers-on felt assured that
she would finish In brilliant form and prove the
winner. Glover who had the mount ON Cameia, at
this point, OF half mile from home, called upon
her, and, confirming her claims to be considered q
speedy nlly, sae responded in capital style and
soon passed La ssia,easslook the lead. From rat
tenham Corner to the Bell Camelia stlll showed In
front, but here Hudson moved Enguerrande out Of
the ruck and closed the daylight rapidly that she
caught Camea in the last strde and they went dash
by the Judges head and head and a dead heat was
declared. The greatest excitement prevailed among
the spectators, and thousand cheers rent the air.
Merry Duchess was third, four lengths behind the
leaders; Foselle fourth, Zee fth Liris sixth, Ma
garta seventh, La Seine eighth Levant NINTH Vito
ria tenth, Majesty eleventh, Catinga twelfth, Irvine
the Paiden thirteenth and Mlumette last. The race,
from start to finish, was run ut q capital
pace. The time or the mile and q
half was $50, being six seconds slower than the
Derby. The dead heat was not run on, the owners
dividing the stakes each receiving $1o,s12, and
Enguerrande walked over the course. Only once
before in the history Of the Oaks has the result been
dead heat, but the first occasion, 1885, Mr.. Graf
wicke's Governess and Admiral Harcourts Glider
mre ran or the heat, which Govcrness won. 1t will
be remembered that Camelia won the One Thousand
Guineas, and Enguerrande recently secured the
French Oaks and was only beaten a head for the
French Derby.
THE GRAND PRIZE AT PARIS.
Both Cameia and Enguerrande are in the Grand
Prize at Pans, to be run the 18th inst, for which
Kisber, the winner OF the English Derby, Is now
favorite.
