The Duke Of estminister entered his
racehorse Orme for the celebrated En-
glish Derby stake The animal was
favorite in the betting and was insured
at Lloyds, London, for 10000, at 20
gllineas per cent. against starting for
the stake, which amount would be paid
to the insurers in the event OF Orme not
starting. Several days ago it was dis
covered that the horse had been poison
ed. The Duke has offered a large re-
ward for the apprehension of the per~
son who was guilty of the deed and has
announced his intention OF starting his
horse on the Derby at all risks, even if
the animal has to run on three legs.
