London, June S.-London Is still talk
ing OF the Derby and the Oaks. The
discussion Of the relative merits Of
American and British methods OF
training and riding has broken cut
anew 1t must be confessed that the
British comments are generally very
fair They sOrrOWfully admit the SUI
perior3ty Of America on every point
The Sporting Times says:
The Derby has been won by a
French horse and an American horse,
bat never until Wednesday was is won
By a horse that had ether than an
English Jockey in the saddle What
ever our horses might be, the supreln-
acy Of our jockeys was deemed com
plete- But that fallacy is now sx-
ploded- Thus Two records were broS-
en- viz victory Tor a jockey who
was not a subject Of the king and the
running Of the race in the fastest tif2e
on record
The Derby was an AnFIo-Aunericsn
triumph, but not so that Of the 0EIss.
which was American pure and 8imule
1t IS a fact that rivalry ran high in
america last year between Mr. Whit
ne5 and Mr. keene. almost amounting
TO bad blood, when a colt OF Mr. Whit
neg S, EalyhoO Bey, beat OIympian for
the Entdr1ag- Under the circurnstances
1T IS not q little singular that hTr

The papers have printed New Turz
dispatches saying that Mr. whitney

leased the horse FOR 60 coo cash ssad
half Of what the horse might win at
3 and years of age after which he
was to be returned. Had Lady ATeuy
cared to sell the colt outright on an
stand at e25.009 the offer being $4,000
down and 10000 more If he won the
Derby
In these matters she has not locked
on money at alI- Her great desire G-as

the day, ne should reap the reward
Tor that reason she accepted an ofear
