Long before racing started the rails were lined dowses deep to Taiteoham Corner, and the hill was thronged. The beat was overpowering, but the storm had cleared the air, and the oppreaslve feeling experienced earlier in the week was absent.

Tbs Prison and Princess of were present, with the Princesses Maud and Victoria, the Duke and Ducbeca of York, the Duke and Duchess of Teek, the Duke of Sexe-Coburg Gotha, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prtneees Christian, together with a great many of the aristocracy of England. TattersaU ring was almost ae packed as on the Derby day. and the attendance was tor bigger than on many Derby days. Melancholy was well handicapped ae a five-year-old with 41b In the Glasgow Plats, and, ungenerous mare as she Is. she could not help winning, jumping away In front, and never being approached.

She was In blinkers, as were Brontwood and Golden Ensign, of whom the latter gave a lot of trouble at the poet. The winner was ridden without spurs. Cushendall Is grow, ing Into a really good-looking three-year-old, and be will do good service tor Bedford Cottage. There wae an attempt to bet on the Oaks, but not much wao done except in the case of Thais, who come down from 75 to 40 to 6to 4, and the Royal mare threatened to start an odds on chance. Everyone declared that she could not be bee ten.

The only chance of seeing the Oaks fillies was while the Mickle ham Plate was being run. for the paddock afterwards was sure to be crowded. Itlaoder was backed heavily at Bath when he made no show behind Philibert, but now be stayed on better than Miss Cackle or tela ration, and scored In clever style. Argon and Declaration were in blinkers. The winner, who wae ridden without spurs, wae bought in for During the hour preceding the Oaks, the paddock presented a brilliant sight, there being nearly as many women as men, and some of dresses were very bright and smart.

It wae a disappointment to find Thais, the Royal filly, an absentee, the being put to rights at Sherwood stable, near toe starting post. Porter saddled Helm uudor the left band hedge, and vary wall the mare looked, haring grown and thickened out since toe One Thousand day. She was cool and In good heart. Kezt to her, In the company of Flare Up, wae Canterbury Pilgrim, who wae clean and hard, but lacking in quality. Arillon, toe beautiful, walked by herself, alongside tba lower hedge, and Mlae Fraser, who towered above toe others, was at the Durdans sad.

Canterbury Pilgrim did not Join too parade, but Flare Up lad her In a cantor along tba first half-mile of the course. Tbe Prince's filly joined toe others at toe poet, and at the first attempt they were off.

On settling down Calder drove the Galop filly to the front, but the did not tike making the running, and bad to be ridden the whole of the tba wsy to keep her there. Helm was beaten coming down toe hill, and when they came Into the straight Thais was going as well as anything. A quarter of a mite from home toe Galop filly gave wsy, and Canterbury Pilgrim shot op to quarters. For a moment Thais seemed to bold her own, and a roar from toe stands proclaimed what the popular feeling was, but it wae a hopeless effort; and Canterbury Pilgrim, drawing right away, won essfly. 8o bitter was the disappointment at the defeat of toe Royal colours, that tbs victory was received In alienee, and the total absence of enthusiasm was chilling.

Lord Derby was present, and In ordinary his victory would have been enthusiastically received, for ire Is a most popular man and a sportsman of tbe beet type, bat on tbe first blush of toe defeat of the Royal colours men's tongues refused to cheer. The first, second, and third were ridden without spurs. Tbe winner la trained by the Hon. George Lambfon, brother oi the Earl of Durham, and her owner is Lord Mayor of Liverpool. Canterbury Pilgrim is engaged In tbe Royal Bunt Cap, and a Sto peaalty raises her weight to 7st 11b.

The Derby was no called after an ancestor of Lord Derby, and the Oaks after the name of the same residence, so was in accordance with the fltaeee of that the present Earl's colours should be triumphantly carried. The ChJpetead waa a certainty for Simony IL If be would consent to gallop, but be is a terrible ooward, and could act be backed with confidence. He was in blinkers, as was Golden Slipper. Once Simony XL looked all over a winner, bat Lest of the Queens, after appearing well beaten, stuck to her work gamely, and finally caused the old thief to throw op the sponge. She won cleverly, and Golden Slipper In the last few strides deprived Simony of second place, a position which was worth 106 guineas.

The first, second, and third were ridden without fact, the Jockeys of Oataaronlaa and Doublet were the only two to wear them. Just before the course was cleared for the Acorn Stakes, a Ridden cheer was heard, and everybody looking to ace what had caused it, espied the Prince of Wales in the oentre of the club enclosure heartily shaking Lord Derby by the band, and coogratalatlng him. It transpired that In the running of the race furlong from borne Canterbury Pilgrim swerved end humped Thais badly, and all those connected with the winner expected an objection, but the Prince of 'Wales, sterling sportsman he is, declined to make one.

At a meeting of the Binning ham sad District Cricket League last night. It was decided that C.

Vale was not eligible to play with Aston Unity, and that W. Wright must no longer assist WelaalL It la contended that Vale, by accepting half-holiday engagement with the Corn Exchange C. C. himself a professional, and as Law, Devey, and W. Bird are already registered ea pros, by tbs Unity, they; cannot play a fourth.

This la distinctly hard on the Unity, who do not employ a tingle professional In the ordinary acceptation of the term. Hone of their players receive payment. With the exception of W. Bird, all their men were brought out by the Aston Unity Gob. An appeal hee bean lodged.

In the eaee of Wright, ba-qnlgraled to the Walsall Club from Dartmouth. He received a benefit at West Bromwich, and then advertised himself as a wicket-keeper and went to Walsall, who have three professionals already registered, via, Heaton, Hawk and Bird. Wright played as professional for Staffordshire against Warwickshire In Wblt Week, and In bis case no to Justice seems to have been done. Bat there ere special droamstanoee about the Vale caae which render the deciiloo pecoliady bard, both for bin. nod the Aston Unity Club.

Defendant bad no object in abstracting cream, as be did not make either butter or cheese, and why the one churn should be dofiotent and the other not when both were of the same milking be could not understand.

Evidence was called to support this contention. The Bench exprewed the opinion that the case was not one of intentional fraud, but the defendant must accept the responsibility, and they imposed a fine of 20s. ana costs. A similar point was raised in a case which followed, in which John Ball, Knighttey House, Eoclcshaii, Staffordshire wse summoned for supplying milk containing 9 per cent, of water mcro than natural, and 13 per cent, of fat leee than tar In this case Mr. Hiley again prosecuted and Mr.
