The big bob of John oGaaal went stretching away in splendid and uncompromising style. Corfu alone keeping anywhere near him. So well. Indeed, did Corfu run that in the Suinley Bottom Wootton. on the favorite, was able to let filial conic alongside, as company for Bwynford, whom he steadied for a few strides. This condition of affairs did not long continue, for Bwynford soon dashed out again with the lead like a giant refreshed, and came up the hill in all con mm ring fashion. Vainly did The Story essay to get near him. and Muslaphas late effort carried him no further than into third place, bwynford fairly romped home, and Woottons judgment of pace-was demonstrated by the time, viz., 2::!0. though he bad made all of his own running. We may ake it that the absurd custom of measuring a course around the middle of it instead of near the rails results in races being run over a shorter distance than the reputed one. but. all the same. Swynfords gallop, with 198 pounds up, was a grand performance. II. P. lmryea must be one of fortunes favorites to own two such animals as Mediant, the winner of the Stewards Cap, and Sweeper II. inside three rears, lor be has raced very few horses in Fnglaml. Joyner trained Mediant for him. but Mr. Duryea has since taken over personal charge of his horses in France, and was at Ascot to sec his tin ■ home bred BOB ol Brooawtlek win the tifi.v ninth Triennial Stakes. ibis youngster was quite tin- largest stripped for the contest and. though somewhat dished iii his back, has magnificent quarters and great length of rein. His forelegs showed traces of having been recently dressed for shin soreness, and in his canter to the post he went short: lint he stretched out gallantly to get the best of Jaeger on tin- return .journey. Hail he not been game he would have been I i-atcn. as he taxed his jockey. Beid, to do him full justice. The Cran Premio Anibrosiano was run for at Rome last Sunday and resulted in the victory of the Beams te Studs three-year old coll. Alcimedonte, which scored by two lengths from Cuido Bead. The winners stable companion, tin- five-year-old Dedalo, was close up third of seven. The race was worth 0. MX and it is interesting to note that Alcimedonte is by Chevalier Glnistrelfla former horse, Stgaariaa, out Aletea. In eoiiiminioralion of his third French Derby. Baron de Botnscliild has devoted the sum of ., H for the poor of Chantilly. $.".00 to the benevolent fund of the Societe d Encouragement. hBoo to the Jockeys Hospital at Chantilly and 0 to the pension fund of the employes of the pnri-mutuel. Sweeper II. would have raced in France this season had his owner observed certain formalities and rendered the two-year-old eligible to compete in French races. When the oversight was discovered he was heavily engaged in the principal Bagllah two-year did events. The valuable Union Renuen one mile and three-eighths, value 0,000, run for at Berlin tlloppe garten, last Sunday, was WOB by the Royal lira ditz Studs Moiidsteiii. a chestnut three year old son of Hannibal out of Mosul.

Following iii his victory with Dealer in the Austrian Derby he last Sunday won the StSStspreis ,250, run over a mile and a half with the four-year-old colt, Carabas, by Carbine, out of Dolly Watts, and the Dona Vista Renuen !. "7.". five-eighths, with tin- two-year-Old. Ma Foi. by Slieve Gallion out of Ma Flamme. Both these were ridden by Carslake and trained by II. Reeves. Last years Irish Derby winner. Aviator, which conceded six ]miiuii1s and gave a neck beating to Kilbroney iu that race, has, together with his stable companions. White Owl and Shackleton. left the Curragh to be trained by Digby at Whltsbury for future engagements. The useful Irish handicap horse, General Lee II..

The Racing Calendar states that flic stewards of the Joel., y Club have withdrawn the notice published September 17. 1903, warning Charles Booth off Newmarket Heath.
