THE DERBY.-Lord Falmoutb's racer, Silvio, has
won the great Derby race, although the betting
was 100 to 8 against SilVio. This proves how fool
ish it is to risk money upon horse-fesh. 1t is not
Objectionable to race horses, for a prize but we
think that a law should be made in all civilized
countries, making 1t a misdemeanor punishable
with fine and Imprisonment to bet money upon
races.
