surprising if he goes to the post at oddson but from the latest London reports at hand May 21 8 to 5 could be had against him Then followed Lord Basil 5 to 1 Buchan 10 to 1 Grand Parade and Iaper Money 100 to 7 each Stefan the Great which docs not appear among the probable starters was at 100 to 7 at the same date dateIu Iu England The Panther is regarded as one of the rare horses that come but seldom to the turf He is regarded as a better individual and as good or better a threeyearold than was Lemberg Bayardo Gay Crusader and Gainsborough GainsboroughIt It was expected that France would have had two colts in the Derby But May 20 Mr Vanderbilt sent word from Paris to England that McKinley his Macdonald II Mrs Dospard colt would not be sent over for the race This was after McKinleys easy win at Longchamps May IS of the Poule dEssai French Two Thousand Guineas in which Observateur Mr Edmond Blancs Derby candidate was second But McKinley won so easily and all the way witli his head in his chest as the French reports had it that Observnteur was naturally eliminated as a Derby possibility So there will be no French starters in the race raceThe The tabled history of
