EARLY SUMMER RACING IN ENGLAND- Pillo Defeats Kilbroney in the Northumberland Plata — Movement for Bookmaking in Franco. London. Eng.. June 23. — In many respects the ■Mat important and interesting race annually decided in the interval between Ascot and the Newmarket First July meeting, is the Northumberland Plata at the Newcastle June meeting. This race, because of its long standing popularity with the hardy workers of that great coal mining region, is frequently dubbed "The Pitmens Derby" and they each year turn out in great throngs to wager their shillings on the horse of their choice. This year tlie race was contested by ten good horses last Wednesday, of which Cardinal Beaufort was the post favorite with Kilbroney next in public favor. It is run over a course of two miles and at the end of a rousing struggle, the 8 to 1 chance Pillo won from Kilbroney by a neck with the favorite. Cardinal Beaufort, a good third. Among the runners was the American-bred Esperanto, now the property of Erin st Tanner. An important meeting of the French Owners Association was held in "Paris on Tuesday morning, under the presidency of Prince Manrat, Its main object was to consider a report drawn up by a select committee deputed to wait on the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. M. Cams, and lay before him the actual state of the French turf, deserted by some of its staunchest supporters since the abolition of the oj*m market. One by one racing establishments have been broken up and then, as a natural consequence, came the sale of this- breeding studs which have played such an important part in the development of the thoroughbred. A request made long since for the establishment of an enclosure wiih an open market where ante-BOSl belting could take place, has been buried in the papers of M. Kuan, whose successor. M. Cams, has listened favorably to the deputation and promised to remedy the evil, which he perceives will increase rather than diminish under actual circumstances. There is no suggestion as to the abolition of the government mutuel betting, which has caught on with the masses and brings in a certain revenue: but. as the matter baa been represented to the Minister of Agriculture, breeders and owners want something more, and turf ethics require that sport should be in tbe hands of gentlemen who race for pleasure, and not of those who show their colors as a mooy-uiak-Ing business, with all those finesses which set public form at defiance, but remain without tangible proofs owing 10 the hnv of MBl. The committee, heartily tin. nked by the members of the association presnt. were ask"d not to lose sight of the question hut to continue actively their negotiations with M. Pams.

M seems as securely intrenched in the same enviable position this year. But Lord Derby has so much good racing material in his stable that it s.-ems unlikely he is to be displaced from second place by any other owner. The prowess of Willonyx has given . B. Howard the novel honor of third place and E. Hulton is now a prosperous fourth. J. R.
