England, he is cheered by the blessing and
prayers of the British matron, as whole,
for his patriotism in marrying the daughter
of an English squire, and not Yankee.
An interesting feature of this years Derby
has been the unusually heavy betting
done BY women. The names of many are
quoted whose earnings on the Duke of Port
lands horse have been sufficient to carry
them through the gown and bonnet crisis
for several seasons, and that means a great
deal of money. A Lieutenant who is less
lucky than the Duke of Portland is the un-
fortunate Walter Arthur Powell, de-
scribed as a gentleman, but who is
now completely knocked to bits against
a financial wall. Instead of having a rela-
tive die and make him a Duke, this unfor-
tunate began early in lie by inheriting a
lot of money. He went to the Field gam
bling club with his check book, about which
you have heard so much of late, invested in
plenty of ivory counters and is now in the
Bankruptcy Court.
His last transaction at the club resulted
in loss of els, 600, and altogether this poor
broken-down young man of Bury street, st.
James has spent over $500, 900, with one or
two games of cards and a few races con-
cerning which he had formed judgments to
show Tor it. A bright spot in his career, on
which he dwelt cheerfully in his bankruptcy
examination, was the fact that he had once
won e15, 900 when within an ace of being
ruined, and had managed to go on with and
enjoy life for quite six months.

tRY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.l

LONDON, June 8.-[Copyright1. This
has been tremendous racing week, with
the Derby on Wednesday and the Oaks yes
terday, and any number of turfmen's din
ners and such functions sandwiched in be-
tween on Thursday to give an opportunity
to discuss the events. All tastes are suited.
The Derby is won by Donavan, tre-
mendous fayor1te, and the Oaks by Abbess
de Jourarre, such rank outsider that she
was scarcely mentioned in the betting lists,
and 200 to 1 might have been had against
her.
This remarkable win is another instance
of the marvellous luck of Colonel North, the
Bonanza Nitrate King, for, though he en-
tered in Lord Randolph Churchill's name,
Abbess is understood to practically belong
TO North, whose financial backing keeps the
stable going. Churchill, before this asso-
citation with North, had never won a turf
event, but for once, Churchill, though
mixed up in all racing, is not the chief
picturesque figure

A PICTURESQUE INDIVIDUAL.

That individual is the Duke Of Portland,
and even those who ordinarily take but slight
interest in dukes cannot fail to be inter-
ested in this young man. His luck has
been simply wonderful. AT the age of 10 he
was an unimportant lieutenant in the Cold
sJream Guards, with any number OF uncles.
cousins and all kinds of things standing be-
tween himself and the Dukedom of Port
land, he being the son of a second son of
third son of the duke.
At 90 his father died, leaving him heir
to the Dukedom and one of the biggest for
tunes in England. The old Duke, who was
then living, promptly presented him with
10000 ''to 60 on with, as he put it, in a
manner becoming a gentleman while wait
lng for him, the old Duke, to die. He never
had to bother about being grateful, for the
old Duke did not want to see him, and never
did see him until the day of his death.
On that day he inherited miles and miles
of the most valuable land in England, a
great deal of it in the heart of London, the
finest estate perhaps in the kingdom, and
great many million pounds in hard cash to
make everything run smoothly. He does
not gamble, but went in for horse racing in
q mild way, with only 16 horses in his sta
BILE. He has won the Derby two years in
succession.
