The duke of Portland has at length
been deposed from the head of the list
of winning owners on the turf, posi-
ton he occupied in the three seasons
preceding that which has just been
brought to a close. His winnings in
stakes alone during that period amount
ed to nearly e126. 600, showing an aver
age of e42,0Oo, whereas this year his
total only reaches little over e5, 900
In place of vast sums being placed to
the credit of one patrician owner, hon.
ors-very doubtful honors-have been
more evenly divided. Mr.. Noel Fen
wick now occupies first place with e2o,-
$40, and is closely pressed by Col. North

II. Milner, of ''all scarlet" fame, with

$40, Sir f. Johnstone with e1l.71O, Mr.
w. A. Merry with el1,545, and the
duke of Westminster with e1O, ,931. The
noble dukes winnings on the turf fol
a. single season have thus amounted to
five times as much as the cost OF the
