: b END OF ENGLISH RACING SEASON Easy Success of Ultimus in the Manchester November Handicap Statistics of the Year T London, December 1. Our 1011 Hat racing season came to a brilliant end at Manchester last Saturday. Had the weather been furnished to order it could not have been better, and when the popular favorite Ultimus galloped home, the easiest of winners, in the rich .Manchester November Handicap, the vast assemblage present voiced its approval in no uncertain fashion. In ante-post betting for ten days prior to the race, Ultimus had been a public fancy for the big race, and going to the post a 0 to 4 favorite in a field of seventeen, he drew out into the iead as soon as called on. and linally won under a pull by three lengths from Fort, which beat the American colt Donnez Mol by a head for second place. Two other Americans, Dalmatian and Sir Martin, took part In the race, but neither ever became prominent in the running. Sir Martin was the top weight with 131 pounds, and being eased up when beaten, could probably have been one of the first three had he been urged out. The winner carried 101 pounds to 100 on Fort and 00 on Donnez Moi. Ultimus, a four-year-old bay colt by William the Third Merry Miser, was bred by Mr. Leonard Brassey, in whose name as a juvenile he ran unplaced on four occa sions. The next season lie fulfilled five engagements, but was only successful in the Eaton Maiden Plate at Chester, although he ran second to Ulster King in the Hastings Plato at Newmarket the first time out. He afterwards changed hands, and Mr. A. Gorham, his present owner, put him to hurdling, but with indifferent success, he running four time-without catching the judges eye, though he secured minor place honors on three occasions. His llrst success this season on the Ilat was in the Stayers Handicap at Gatwick, which he won easily by six lengths, and which was his last outing previous to Saturdays race. Although there has not ltcen any betting worth a quotation on next years Derby, there is no doubt that when books are opened on the big Epsom race Lomond and White Star will be the two leading favorites. There are, however, 201 other horses left in, and of these some of the following, given alphabetically, will doubtless figure more or less prominently in the wagering. French candidates are not for the time being taken into account: Aiglon, Chnrmbm or Clodius, Coriander, Cylad, Jaeger. Javelin, Jingling Geordie, Keiupion, Loin. Lorenzo, and Sweeper 11. A few others might easily be included, and two or three of those mentioned might perhaps be omitted, but opiulons are bound to differ, and the list is only given to afford some idea of what the opposition to the champions of Mr. Hulton and Mr. J. B. Joel may be like. Captain F. D. Grlssell munt indeed count himself fortunate that neither Salmon Fly nor Sir Ilalbert made a bid when the pair were sent up for public auction at Tattersalls, Knightsbridge, for since the pair of brilliant jumpers joined Coulthwaites Hod-nesford stable they have annexed some 0,000 in stakes alone. Salmon Fly lias carried off the Jubilee Hurdle Race of ,000, and a rich hurdle race and the 0,000 steeplechase at Blackpool, while Sir Ilalbert won the National Hunt Steeplechase at Cheltenham truly an amazing record for two horses that might have been bought for less than ,000 apiece. Mr. Gerald Milne, a splendid horseman and gentleman rider of a few years ago, is back in England from South Africa, where since the Boer War, in which he saw active service with the Yeomanry, he has been acting as starter to the South African Jockey Club. One of Mr. Milnes most noteworthy successes in the saddle was when steering Skeddaddle in the big Paris steeplechase. He is spending his present holiday hunting with the Quorn in the Lei coster district. Five of his Majestys yearlings have been named as follows: Colt, by Thrust White Lilac, "Lilac throat"; colt, by Thrush Iearl of the Loch, "Yellow Pearl": colt, by Spearmint Laodamia, "Lao-inedon"; colt, by Ornie Persian Lilac, "Panicle," and colt by Orvieto Saints Mead, "Dersinghani." The well-known French sportsman. Mr. J. de Bre uioud, has taken a decision for which he is to be much complimented. Three of his stud mares are to be sent over to England. One of them is the famous Rondo Nuit, which will be allied with Cicero, the Derby winner of 100.". The other two. La Mar saudiere and Karamanie, go to William the Third. A. Bowley, the Arundel apprentice, and Frank Wootton left Charing Cross yesterday merning en route for India by the P. and . steamship Persia, which they will join at Marseilles. They will ride for Mr. Galstaun during the winter, returning lo England in time for the commencement of our llat-racing season. The Hon. G. Lambton heads the list of winning trainers with 47,740 for 47 races won by 22 horses, C. Morton being second with 75, S05 for .".7 races won by 10 horses, and J. Butters is third with 03.-040 for 47 races won by 21 horses. B. Wootton saddled the greatest number of winners during the season, viz.: 4S. From statistics just published, the total amount of stake money won on the Hat in Great Britain and Ireland during the just-expired racing season was ,737,3S0, which constitutes a record. The next highest total was ,733,400 in 1000. Messrs. Lionel Robinson and Clarke, now nearly as well known in English racing circles as in Australia, drew The Parisian, the winner, in the big "Tattersall" sweep on the Melbourne Cup a matter of 0,000. The Manchester November Handicap has been a disastrous nice for the favorite, and Ultimus was the lirst one to score since 1S00. when Partington, which started joint favorite with Silver Spur, won for the late Duke of Beaufort. J. Dillon, the jockey, whose leg was broken in Austria some ten weeks ago, and who was under the care of one of the most skillful surgeons in that country, now finds that the leg has not knitted proiierly. Unfortunately it will have to be rebroken and reset. Stolen Kiss has ltcen purchased by Sir Tatton Sykes, the sum paid for the daughter of Best Man and Breach being close on 5,000. I-iomond has returned from Newmarket to Epsom and Hie cold and cough which attacked him on the eve of the Middle Park Plate have quite disappeared and left no ill-effects. The close of the Hat racing of 1011 found Lord Derby, as had long been known would be the case, a far away leader of the winning owners of the year. His stable earnings were almost double those of last year, when he was second to Mr. Fairie with a credit of 18,427, and exceed those of any leader for a number of years past. Stcdfast and Swynford with their combined earnings of 54,765, were the great factors in piling up his big total, but Hair Trigger II.. King William, Persephone, Eugenia fllly The Tabard, Bridge of Allan, The Baun and Karelian also contributed usefully. Had not Swynford broken down when he did, Lord Derbys total of stable winnings must have been much greater, that superb racer having had several rich engagements that were simply at his mercy. Second to Lord Derby was J. B. Joel, with an aggregate of stable winnings sufficient to have made him first in the majority of racing years. Naturally the Two Thousand and Derby winner Sunstar wns the chief contributor, but his two crack two-year-old sons of Sundridge, White Star and Absurd, ltctween them won over 0.-000. and if all goes well with them will constitute a formidable team in the three-year-old division of 1012. These two leaders were so far in advance of all other owners that there is no comparison. King George made a modest beginning as a winning owner with a record of five races and ,110 won. The list of owners with stable accounts of 5,000 or more is the following: Wing Rnces Amount Owner. Horses. Won. Won. Lord Derby 11 30 13,055 J. B. Joel 10 35 172.S70 C. E.

Sundridge is the champion, with William the Third second, the latter owing his place to the triumphs of Ultimus in the Manchester November Handicap at the last Hat race meeting of the year. Except for the unfortunate accident to Sunstar, Sundridge might have established the highest winning value since St. Simons marvelous 72,300 in 1000. but it is, at least, satisfactory to know that the fame of the horse formerly owned by Mr. Joel is likely to be perpetuated in England by such high-class performers on the turf as this years sensational Derby winner, and the splendid " two-year-olds, Absurd and White Star. , . Cyllene, the champion of the two previous seasons, shows a distinct decline, but this is not at all amazing, considering that Lemberg has decreased nearly 00,000 for his sire. Like Sundridge, Cyllene is lost to our home breeders, but it is thankful to think that the expatriated son of Bona Vista may have -worthy representatives at the stud for the future in, among others, Cicero, Polymelus and Captivation.
