Tt was getting more apparent than ever this year that the Derby has had its day. There was not even a motion made for the adjournment of the House of Commons over Derby Day, and although it was expected that the Foreign and Colonial visitors who have come over for the Commemoration festivities would flock to Epsom and a specially brilliant blue ribbon day would be the result, as a matter of fact, the attendance was unusually small, notwithstanding the fact that it was known: that the Prince of Wales and a little bevy royalties would be there. It was, too, a very hollow race, in which the first, second and third favourites came in justin the order in which they were fancied, with good yaps between them. Mr. Gubbins's victory with Gattee More was, however, popular enough, as the chances of the Prince of Wales's horse had never been very favourably regarded. Lord Rosebery, whose Velusgne: was second in the Derby, has been unfortunate again today, when his Chelandry which" was a yrarm favourite for the Oaks, could only get into second place.
