According TO Benson's, chronograph, the non-oihcia
timekecper oil English races The duration OF the race
from the dropping OF the flag to the finish, was lm 6os
The value oil the stakes 10 the winner was f5,20O.
The result OF the race was bad one tor the proics
sona betting men, VINO lay the odds. as CLAIMANT had
all along been backed 10 win lot OF money, an When
the Morer Juror set In several Of them took liberties
with Count Iagraugcs colt II Is sad that one
prom nent operator is ont much as $4,000 on the
race In looking at the forward running OF Brown
Prince II should not be forgotten that Dir. Ten Brock
who previously tempted fortune on the English TURF
won n similar position with Paris to General Peel IN
1854 and the rst time that brother OF General Peels
has run again the Americans have been represented
forward with great deal OF interest by those
VINO have made investments on the ensuing Derby and
this year those who have supported Claimant for
tho blue ribbon OF the turf must feel par
tculary happy, Tor Judging by the cunning
on Wednesday the race Is reduced 10 certainty for
the Frcnchman. Much as Americans would like to see
The positions OF first and second reversed at EPSON
over tho mile anu hall Derby course, yet looking NJ
the way IN which Claimant won II u hoping against
hope. About Morer so little IS known as to what he
did at home that caused the Russcy clique to back
him 10 strongly that II is hazardous 10 form an opn
ion as 10 the chance OF his stable companion, Pcl
rrpo for the Derby. On ono hand II does not seem
possible that they could have backed him unless he
had shown himself be horse OF superior merit and
n he had done then The way Ia which ho in the
Two Thousand no indication OF tho relative chance
OF Pcigrino Silvlo by his getting third place showed
that his performance In the Newmarket Benn ial two
weeks ago was not correct indication OF his
merits. aud Moricrs may be similar case.
II was reported that Morier was lame
before the start owing TO the too tight appliance Of
one OF his bandagcs, but was utterly impossible
nnd out anything definite about the matter Tor as
soon as Webb mad dlsmounlcd the horse and his at
tcndans were spirca awiy. and ~ was impossible TO
verify the rcpor, alter n~d gained circulation Tho
