When the celt was born it was found that it was marked wiih an oak apple on its forehead. The colt Is perfect in every way and quite lively. At Aateull n Saturday. June 13, the lirsl three homes in a sieeplecliase were Better, Bonbeur du Jonr and Bobeme II.. and they were ridden respectively by Hacs. Head and Hawkins — a rather extraordinary coincidence d alliteration. Ilorist. which was scratched lor his Ascd engagements, i in reserve lor the Prix da President iU- la Repabllque, to be run at Maisons-Laffltte un Sunday. July 5. In all probability J. Clark will have the mount on Mr. Mortimer. Singers smart Hill. J. A. Taylor, who heads the winning list of Jockeys in Belgium, has ridden over sixty winners ihi- season, which exceeds the number that any Eton iM-an Jockey has so far steered. When in Bus laud.

The French Jockey Club has successfully de-feuded the action for damages brought against it by the owners of I.onbon Rose, who objected to the manner in which the horse was examined by the i lobs veterinary Burgeon after Hie race. As a result of the examination Bonbon Roae was declared i.i have |,ei n "doped." and wa-. disqualified for a valuable cup il had won. The liinliiig of the COUrl was to Hie effect that the plaintiffs had failed to briag any proof that the Jockey Club had at all exceeded its liaht in examining the horse at the time. Lady Josephine, in following in the footsteps of her half-sister. Lady Anniiii-. by winning of the Coventry Stakes at Ascot, confirmed the high opinion already formed of her after her Epsom Iri iimps.
