Epson, Eng, June 3. I'll. so p. m. !
This is the second day of the EPSON
Summer Meeting and Derby Day The
weather is hot and oppressive. There
were several showers during the morn
ing, but the rain has not affected the
course to any appreciable degree and it
is pronounced to be the hardest on
record.
Many people witnessed the early work
of the Prince of Wales entry, Persim
mon, as well as the preliminary gallops
of the other favorites, and it is safe 10
say that everybody was pleased to find
that the report circulated Yesterday by
the Pail Mall Gazette, that Hersimmon,
the second favorite for the blue ribbon
of the turf, had been injured, was en-
tirely unfounded
In the opinion of the oldest race
goers there never was so little betting
on the Derby as there is this wear,
Tho Duke Of Westminster Regret
was scratched at noon, owing TO the
hardness of the course.
The betting at 80 O'clock this after.
noon was ID TO s on st. Frusquin, 8 to
? against Persimmon and 3 10 against
Teufei.
Persimmon won the Derby, st, Frus-
gum was second and Earwig was third.
