BIG WINNINGS ON THE DERBY.

cashing In to the Tune of Hundreds. Of
Thousands of Dollars.
The $4,000 which John w. Gates is
said to have won on Nealon the other
day look modest after all compared
with some winnings which hare been
gathered in by hetters on the English
Derby.
Sir Joseph Hawley on three occasions
won from $780, 900 to 10000 viz: On
Teddingtcn in 1851, Musjid in 1859 and
B~eadsman>in 1858. He would have won
as much on Blue Gown in 1859 had he
not hedged.
The largest sum ever taken by one
man on the Derby is said by Baily's
Magazine to have gone to Mr.. .Naylor
on Macaronis In 1863, hut the amount is
not stated. Mr.. Chaplin won2a larger
amount on Hermit in 1867, but did not
get half of it.
Mr.. Merry. was said to have won
G100, 600 on T~hormanby, but the real
amount was 100000.
The half length by which the Irish
colt Barbarian was beaten. by Daniel
O'Rourke in 1852 made. a. difference of
100000 to BoolSmaker Davies. ,&He lost
100000 on the Epson week when West
Australian won the Derby.

1T was no surprise to us Hudsonites
to find that John C. Spooner was the fin
est legal min in the senate. We knew
him of old, you see. When he had a
case on we used to go In droves to hear
him plead.
II remember to this day a story that
he once told In court in a case where
he was showing how, with a good mo-
tive, one might still do a lot of harm.
"He said that two aged Scotch ministers
sat talking one day over their church,
