WINNER OF CORONATION CUP I _ SPECIAL SORRBSPONDBNCB. I LONDON. England, June S. — The first three ia the St. I.eger last year, Polemarch, Franklyn and Westward Ho, all met again in the Coronation Cup June b". This caused immense interest to be taken ia the event, which is a weigh t-for-age nice, run over the Derby course at Epsom, and worth about 53,500 to the winner. Folemarch behaved like a perfect pig; after causing a long delay at the post, when the signal was given be stubbornly put his feet in the ground and refused to move. I am beginning to wonder what is the "kink" affecting the Roi llerode family, for we have had Milesius and Sarghedon afflicted with the same malady. It is quite possible that the trouble is the reason for the disappointing displays of l.eighton. Franklin was always favorite. He was well placed at the Corner, from which point he went on to win easily by one and a half lengths from Lord Derbys filly Selene. Franklin, which was carrying 129 pounds, is a half-brother to Donald Erasers new stallion The Vizier, whose first produce, now making their appearance, are of a uniform standard of excellence, which speaks well for his prospects as a sire. Franklin will add to the already good record of the family. Their dam, Cambrae, is by Ayrshire — View, by Martagon — Scene, by Springfield. This family has given us Eiger. I.aveno, Orvieto, Peep o Day, Camp Fire and Suns. tine.
