The English are a sporting nation and
there can be no doubt that Lord Rose
bery's honest aRd outspOken love Of
racing adds TO his personal popularity
with the bulk OF the people. But there
is a considerable section Of the Liberal
party 20 which the turf and all its ways
are an abomination. The "noncon-
formist conscience" is shocked that the
Queens Prime Minister should be &C
lively connected with pursuits which it
denOuuces as immoral, and Lord Rose
bery's candid declaration at Eton the
day before yesterday will do him no
good among the more StraitlaCed of his
political supporters. As for Lord Rose
berry himself, be has never made any
coucealment of his sentiments on the
subject He is one OF the few states
men who have made a speech in the
House Of Lords defending racing. In
February, 1873, be said, 1T is noble,
manly, distinguished and in its history
\ decidedly national amusement" and
now, as the Westminster Gazette shrewd-
ly remarks, il is far easier 10 imagine
Lord Rosebery retiring from politics
be tried to do so not very long ago
than to fancy his retiring from the turf.
AN ILLUSTRATION FROM PUNCH.
Whatever influence Lord RoSebery's
racing pursuits may ultimately have
uUOu his position as Premier, his
trlumphs this year on the turf have,
oddly enough, generally synChrOnized
with success Ia the political arena.
/ Ladas' victories in the Two Thousand
/ aud the Newmarket stakes both took
place Immediately before liberal vic
/ tories in the House of Commons at par
ticularly critical junctures and these
condolences probably gave rise TO the
| popular idea that il Lord ROsebery were
/ successful in winning the Derby he
would regard il as a good political omen
and therefore appeal 20 the country
shortly afterwards. In very humorous

which Lord ROsebery as turtle and

ed in the popular Imagination.
THE PRENER's TURF sPECULATIoNS.
Y When be first took to racing Lord
/ Roseberry used 10 BET heavily and many
anticipated that ne would quickly come
I to grief, but be never wSgered unless
/ be had good information, and those who
( predicted his downfall had in the end to
! express their admiration Of him as a
| speculator on the turf. He has, in fact,
| shown in racing matters the same cool,
I common sense which has been one Of his
most marked characteristics in the do
main of politics. Until yesterday be
was never known to betray excitement
respecting the result Of a race, and the
same perfection Of self-reStraint has
enabled him to bet and bet heavily with
out drifting into the recklesSness Of the
plunger.

ago ridden By Leonard Boyne in the
stirring race course scene which made
the "Prodlgsl Daughter" such q sue
cess. Lose Rosebsrry was also rep
resented in several other Derbys, nota-
bly, 10 Bend Or's year, when he ran two
horses.
Although Lord Roseberry's In con-
nection with the Derby were long IN
successful, his colors were frequently
borne to victory st EPSON aud else
where. He won the Oaks In 1883 with
Bonny Jean, daughter OF Macaroni.
Al the spring meeting the same year
Lord Rosebery had won both the Great
Metropolitan aRd City and Suburban.
Twenty years ago Lord Rosebery also
won the City and Suburban with Aid
rich. His LOrdship has won the Lin
colnshire Handicap twice, viz-with Con-
troversy In 1876 and Touchet in 1879.
Among the other big handicaps that
have fallen TO his share may be men
toned the Chester Cup, with ProdhOm-
me, the Ascot States with Ridotto, the
Northum berland Plate with Snail, the
CambridgeShire with La MerYeille, the
Liverpool Cup with Controversy aud the
Manchester November Handicap with
Rhidorroch. Kermesse won the Middle
Part Plate in ISL, and this was the last
race run by Ladas as a twO-year-old.
Very early in his career as an owner
OF race horses Lord Rosebery took UNI
bragg st the remarks OF a certain writer,
and for a time retired from the Turf.
10 1855, when his time was greatly
taken with political work, be reduced
bis racers considerably, but he has al
ways kept up his stud farm at his seat,
MentmOre Towers, overlooking the
beautiful vale OF AyleSbury, and it may
be observed that Ladss was bred by his
noble owner.
LADAs' INFLUENCE on POLITICS.
Lord Roseoery is the only sportsman
who has won the Derby while holding
Office as Prime Minister, though the
Duke of Grafton won ii twice after be
bad been Prime Minister. It is not as
vet quite clear whether Lord Rosebery's
connection with the turf will, il IL con
tinueS, aid or mar his political fortunes.

A TRIUMPH FOR OLD MATT" DAWSON.
Now that Ladas has been crowned
with donors at Epson he will probably
go on to fresh triumphs. He has been
entered for the Prince OF Wales Stakes
at Ascot, the Prince Of Wales Stakes at
the Newmarket first Of July meeting,
the Eclipse Stakes at Sandowne and
the Doncaster ST. Leger. His success
AT EPSON yesterday reflects great glory
upon his trainer, the veteran Matthew
Dawson. A few years ago Lord Cado-
gan expressed belief that "Matt" was
too old TO train, and his opinion was
shared By others. But the Old man
thought otherwise, and he has added
one more 10 his long list of successes,
which include five Two Thousands, six
One Thousands, four Derbys dating
from Thormauby in 1861, six Oaks
dating from Catherine Hayes in 1868.

Albert Alderman, OF the United States

had heard that Superintendent Schwab
and other officials and employees had an
interest in the Carnegie company and
had therefore amotive in passing plates
not up to standard.
His testimony developed one new
branch OF irregul arity, as to the manip-
ulation Of a testing machine used by
the Carnezie Company. The machine
was operated so as to give false figures.
