LATE FLAT EACING IN ENGLAND. Lord Derbys King- William Disappoints in Liverpool Autumn Cup Runnymede Wins Again. London, November 13. The Liverpool Autumn Meeting of last week provided excellent racing, as in fact it always does. In point of interest the Liverpool Autumn Cup at a mile and three-eighths was the principal feature of the meeting. There was considerable ante-post betting over this event with Lord Derbys probably overrated colt King William, the public choice and the favorite on the day "of the race, which took place last Friday. Lord Derby also started- his good filly Hair Trigger II.. fourteen horses going to the post in what was the last highly Important race of the year, with the exception of the Manchester November Handicap. The winner proved to be Mr. L. Clows four-year-old filly Trepida, which had won the Duke of York Stakes at Kempton Park in brilliant style and then failed in the Cambridgeshire, to the financial distress of a small host of quite confident backers. The starters were Trepida. 114 pounds: Willaura. 97, Mustapha. 120; King William, 120: Hamertou, 94; Atmah, 100; Helot, 107: Auchora, 105; Hair Trigger II., 118; Aviator. 92; Succour, 114; Knight of Honour, 94; Rots Pride, 92, and Desman, 90. Mr. Coventry achieved a good start. King William, which was moving up. dashing out in front, but dropped back third to Hamerton and Willaura, with Trepida and Succour next. After going a quarter of a mile Trepida, as at Kempton, took a lead that was never afterwards challenged. She was followed down the far side by Hamerton, King William, and Succour, with Willaura well up. and Auchora and Helot last. At the Canal turn Trepida was loading by two lengths from old Succour. King William, and Aviator, with Hamertou now beaten. This is not .i course for a lazy horse, as the turns demand an easy in what on the straight would be a continuous drive, and along the bottom stretch Anchora moved up as did Mustapha, while Succour dropped away. That King William is better at home than in public he here displayed, as coming into the straight, instead of improving his position he deteriorated, and dropped back fifth lwhind Anchora, Willaura. and Mustapha. The latter now warmed to his work, but Anchora flattered only to deceive, as she shut up like a knife, leaving Willaura and Mustapha in pursuit of Trepida: but Winter was riding easily and with just a look round saw no necessity to hustle the white-legged chestnut, which won by two lengths. Willaura defeated Mustapha by a head only for second place. King William was a good fourth. Several American horses won in the course of the meeting. Miss Malaprop, the recently named Meddler Correction filly, winning the Witherslack Plate; Adam Rede, the Westmoreland Welter Plate; Nankeen, the- Wavcrtreo Plate and Runnymede the coveted Stewards Plate. For this race another American, Bobbin, was favorite, while Golden Rod, La- volt and Runnymede ranked as second choices at C to 1 each, but showing his usual excessive speed Runnymede. was the winner from start to finish, and is sure to bring a stiff price when Mr. Keenes horses find new owners at the forthcoming December sales. An old-time sportsman has just passed away in the person of Mr. James Trotter, who died at his residence in Windsor. For a great many years the pink jacket has not been seen on the turf, but in 1879 Palmbearer nearly carried it to victory in the Derby, Sir Bevys just defeating bim by three-quarters of a length. The colt previously won the Don-caster Spring Handicap, the Chesterfield Handicap, and the Brough Hill Handicap at Catterick Bridge, while as a two-year-old he was victorious in the Moldou Stakes at Newcastle. Mr. Hulton, as has been already stated, will have first claim upon the services of Frank Wootton for 1912, and it has now been arranged that Mr. J. B. Joel is to have second call. The question as to who will have third claim upon Woottons services has not yet boon settled. The young Epsom jockey sails for India at the end of the present month for a three months holiday, during winch time he will often be seen in the saddle, and returns to this country at the end of next February. Cooked Nuts was the only two-year-old in the field for the Hainton Selling Plate at Lincoln recently. The youngster was best known as the Orinondalo Doughnuts colt, and he scored easily, afterwards leing sold to Mr. Tabor for 1C0 guineas. The corresponding race last year was won by Long Set, which was subsequently purchased by Mr. Sol Joel for 500 guineas, and in whoso colors Long Set scored in the Cambridgeshire. As has been already announced, his Majesty will have first claim on the services of Herbert Jones in 1912. The Kingsclere Stable has secured second claim, the retainer to be shared by all the patrons of the establishment except Lord Falmouth, who prefers to engage his own jockeys. Jones, however, will continue to ride Lord Falmouths horses when free to do so. Despite a report to the contrary, it is now stated on the best authority that Lemberg will not be sent to the stud this season, but is to remain in training. Among his engagements for 1912 are the Jockey Club Stakes of 10,000 sovereigns at the Newmarket First October Meeting and the Rous Memorial Stakes and Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot. His Majesty has made three entries for the Irish Derby of 191S, which closed last week. They are Anmer, by Florizel II. Guinea Hen: Flitcham, by Desmond Sweet Vernal dam of Devils Dyks; and a colt by Desmond Laodamia. Mr. J. Kelly has nominated Chadville, an own brother to Shanbally-more, which won this race last year. F. Fox, who has been first jockey to Mr. J. A. da Rothschild for the past five years, has accepted an engagement for the next three years to ride as first jockey for the "Weinberg stable in Germany. The retaining fee will be 10,000 per annum. A recent publication was in error in stating that Lord Derby lias a yearling brother to Stedfast, but his lordship lias an own brother to Swynford. The mime of the colt is Harry of Hereford.

Without advancing a single penny Sundridge stands alone as tho practically certain champion, with a total value, even now, that has rarely been beaten in recent years. Sous of Sundridge, ranging in age from the two year-olds. Absurd and White Star, to the veterans of the clan. Suntlower II. and The Story, already have won 00,135 in first prize money since the dying campaign began on Lincolns Carholme, and it is a significant fact that this amount has been exceeded, but thrice by Persimmon in 1002 and by Cyllene in 1909 and 1910 since St. Simon established the enormous figures of 72,300 in 1900. If Sundridge is almost certain to finish far ahead of any other animal, the race for second place is not quite such a one-horse affair. Thanks mainly to Persephones victory in the Ormonde Stakes at Newbury, and, incidentally, Royal Realm at the same meeting, the defunct Persimmon is second for the mo menr, but William the Third and John o Gaunt arc close behind, while Chaucer and Desmond are still well in the running to maintain tho prestige of the Galopin strain.

Singularly few alterations have this week been necessary in the scores of the various riders, and most interest centers in the progress of Maher towards his hundredth success, which doubtless he would bo pleased to reach by the end of tho Manchester November Meeting. He cannot be ousted from third place, and for the fourth Rickaby and Winter continue to run a slow race, with the probabilities in favor of Rickaby. The only danger to the pair which is remote can come from W. Huxley, who is at present sixth. The records of the leaders are now as follows: Jockey. Mts. 1st. 2d. 3d. TJnp. P.C. Wootton.
