RECENT RACING FEATURES OVER IN ENGLAND London Eng October I As was anticipated would be the case Lembcrg won the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket and In doing It with all the ease imaginable gave those who have all along maintained that lie should have won the St Leger fresh ground for bringing their opinions to tliat effect to tlie front again However Swynford was not In the Jockey Club Stakes and had he been there Is no telling but what he would again have proved himself Lembergs master At any rate both are grand colts and a credit to their year but It is questionable if either is of the class of such1 great threeyearolds of other days as Bayardo Sceptre Pretty Polly Flying Fox or Diamond Jubilee Both are sound horses and should do some great racing in the Cups next year yearA A feature of some interest was the success of the Americanbred Columbus in the Newmarket October Handicap at a mile and a half last Wednesday Columbus is a big powerful colt Ify Sombrero Anna Woodford that was sent over here by J B Haggin and sold as a yearling for fortylive guineas His performance in the October Handicap was of such a character as to at once drawattentlon to the fact that he is in the Cesarewltch at the light im ¬ post of eightynine pounds and he has bjeen backed to win at 20 to 1 to a considerable amount His sire Sombrero is now standing at the Boro Green Stud near Newmarket In the way of wagering on events in the future Mr Whitneys Whisk Broom has been so persistently backed to win the Cam ¬ bridgeshire that his price lias steadily fallen from a high mark of 23 to 1 down to 100 to S and lit seems to be a genuine candidate He is doing well at exercise and In view of his position in the finish for the Two Thousand Guineas possesses an obvious chance at 110 pounds poundsAn An interesting betting case was decided recently at the Shoreditch County Court of London when a turf accountant secured a verdict against a publican to recover 35 or so under an agreement to settle a debt The judge remarked that agreements to wait and promises not to expose a party were suffi ¬ cient to take a ease out of the Gaming Act ActTop Top o the Morning along with some half a score of iMr Whitneys horses in training including the Blue Girl colt and Field Daisy all three runners at Newmarket Tuesday was shortly to have been sold bv public auction to make room for the American bred yearlings that will be placed under Joyners charge As far as the firstnanieiV is concerned Joyiier discoverer a morecongenial way of disposing of the threeyearold son of Hamburg wuich was by winning the Trial Selling Plate at the expense of those who liad bet freely on Galleot and Pad dington The race was worth 300 sovereigns and the winner afterwards realizing CIO guineas Mr Whitney got more for his threeyearold than he would have done had Topo the Morning come under tlie hammer without the glamor of winning winningAn An extraordinary accident occurred In the course of a steeplechase at Wiesbaden on Tuesday last the Mnhltbal Jagd Reiinen Avon by Trill by Missel thrush out of Trilby Red Glrsha which finished second was following in the rear of Gold Ore The latter fell and Red Glrsha was kicked In the neck by him the plate at the same time being torn from his hoof and it remained sticking in Red Indias jaw until the final hurdle when the latters jockey Bastian leaned forward and took it from the wound Sir Martin Is suffering from an obstinate skin disease and will not run again this season seasonAmericiis Americiis Girl left for Ireland having been put out of training trainingKiel Kiel by Hamburg though rn handsomely topped twoyearold has such twisted forelegs and toet that turn in to such a remarkable extent that had he been sold by public auction as a yearling he would possibly have made no more than a tenpound note That they race in all shapes is common knowledge and this Imported American has this season won no fewer than five races racesGood Good news conies from Germany since the crown prince lias taken an active part in siiort having registered his name as part owner of the chaser Portuipli which lias hitherto been running undei the colors of his

nominal fei of ten guineas The yearlings and foals which repre ¬ sent this stoutconstituted sou of Ravensbury and Bed of ISoses have surprising bone and substance and are so promising that Mr Raynor
