Full Report of the Great Turf Event of the Year—The Starters—The Crowc~—The Betting. Special by Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 28.—-The approaching Derby and Oaks are the two topics most talked about in England to-day. The American colony are particularly excited,for Mr. Pierre Lorillard has American-bred animals entered tor both events. The Derby is one oithe very few rac- ing events tbat your people have not yet suc- ceeded in carrving off; but success is bound to reward your repeated efforts sooner or later, if not this year. The French have already suc- ceededin this direction; so have the Hun- garians; and itis pretty certain that Yunkee horse-flesh can do what animals from those countries have done. To-day is THE ONE HUNDREDTH CONSECUTIVE CONTEST on Epsom Downs for the blue ribbon of the English turf. From the time of sir Charies Bunbury’s chestnut stallion Diomed, the win- ner of the first Derby, to now, is just 100 years. | Diomed was imported into the United States, | and was the great-great-great-grandsire of | the most famous stud horse that your country | has ever produced. Diomed was the eire of | Sir Archy, who was the sire of Timoleon, who /wasthe sire of Boston, who was the sire af | Lexington, who was the sire of Uncas, Mr. | Lorillard’s nomination tor this year’s Derby. Lexington died at Woodburn Stud Farm, in | Kentucky, on July 1, 1875; consequently, Un- _caswasone of the last animals that sprang | from the loins of the grand o!d horse. | THIS YEAR’S DERBY | had a larger entry than ever before; and ot the 287 colts and fillies nominated forit, 40 were offoreign extraction, namely, 23 French, 7 | American, 7 Hungarian, and 3 German colts. EPSOM DOWNS | | | upon which the lovers of racing iudulged their | fancy. The races here, from the year 1730 | have been annually held inthe months of May | orJune.

It | was then customary to commence at 11 | o’clock inthe forenoon, and after the first or | second heatthe company usually returnod into | thetown todinner. In the afternoon they again assembled on the Downs, and the races | for the day were then finished. This arrange- | inenthas long been discontinued, and | races are now annually held on the Downs at a | certain time ofthe year. This has been the j | practice here since the celebrated Derby and | Oaks were first established, the former in 1780, and the latter in 1779.

It is a glorious sight, and for the lover of na- ture and of art the whole fleld stretched out al- most for miles before one is a city of canvas;a town of sutlers. sbhopmen, bakers and betting men, and goodness knows what all. The outer edge of the course from below the grand stands tofar beyond Tattenham corneris occupied by files of vehicles forty and fifty deep, und the distance is fully three-quarters vf a mile. On the inside of thecourse and cn the hill are thousands of other vehicies. Talk of the Olympic Gardens! There are more chariots and horsemen to be seenin one swoop than ever Greece possessed during its whole exis- tance asan empire! And if the carts and car- riages have brought down their countless mul- litudes, conceive what the railroads have done to increase the immense throug of people now before us. **I\’rect keerds of the race’’ are being hawk- ed about, old acquaintances are exchanging hearty salutations, baskets and boxes are brought out and hungry folk fall to lunching, A GLANCE AT THE TRACK, The Derby course, it will b¢ seen,is ‘‘about’’ a mile from ‘‘eend to eend,’’ aud somewhat in « the shape of a horse-shoe. The first three quar- ters of a mile may be considered straight, the bend in the course at Durand’s corner being very trifling and the width very great. The next quarter is in a gradual turn and runs into what is called Tattenham corner, Once around this difficult and ever-to-be-dreaded corner, the last half mileis str:ishtrunning., The first 380 yards of this curious course is on the level, then comes & pretty stiff ascent for half a mile, the next third ofa mile is level, then comes Tattenham corner,—a very shanwand awkward turn to the left, and the remainder is on the descent till within the distance, when the ground rises abruptly again. It is undoubted- ly one of the most difficult courses to run over inthe world. How such gradients were ever selected for racing is not easily explained. But there the course is, and dislike it as we may, there are glorious traditions about tne place, so let us enjoy things as we find them. THE TRACK, Turn now to the track itself, and you will see that a gang of sweepers have made the turf look like a veritable Prussian carpet of green. The grand stands are ciowded with wealth, beauty, and intelligence. In front of the chief urand stand there is a lawn which slepes with a considerabje fall to the rails that separate it from the coyrse itself, This lawn is divided into two eq@al parts by a light iron fence, Standing the ésplanade, tacing the course, the moiety of the lawn on the right is that por- tion of i# which is reserved for the use of the betting men ; in fact, it is called the Ring. The pleas people who stroll down from the stand are folded on the left hand.. At the up- per end of this lawn is the Royal Stand,in front of which, but not quite so nigh, the press platform. If you are of a wind to shake hands with one of the Royal Princes, and he is of a similar mind, you can doso without leaving your place er standing on tip-toe. PREPARING FOR THB RACB.

The iast orders ure given by owners or trainers, and away go boys und beasts to the starting-post, half a mile distant from the platform. Pre- sentiy another bell rings, and the policoman’s a7 of ‘*Olear koss’’ is quickly heard and rap- idJy obeyed. Then the inevitable small dog dashes across the course. The finish judge has locked bimself up inside his little box, the flag is dropped, and away fly the thoroughbreds. , Sir Bevys Wins. Special by Cable to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 28.—Everybody had turned out of town as usual to be present at Epsom, and the city is deserted. The city proper, the busi- ness portion of the town, towards noon worea deserted aspect. Bankers, brokers, mer- chants, clerks, allhad forsaken their usual routine of business to wend their way by rail orroad to Epsom. The morning opened with a cold wind from the northeast across the downs end the ground ts heavy. Towards midday the sky cleared up and the weather became fine. Royalty was represent- ed by the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Edinbyrgh, who came down together and formed the center of nu- merous mgm bers ofthe aristocracy. UNCAS was scratched yesterday and therefore did not . appear. AT 3 O'CLOCK ahe start of the three-year-olds for the Blue Riband ofthe English turf was effected. The result was a complete surprise, The ruce was won by SIR BEVYS, andthe rider was Fordham, who, at last, has achieved the ambition of his lifein winning the Derby. Fordham is probably the most exper- ienced jockey in England, but although he has repeatedly ridden in the Derby, and oftentimes the favorite, he has never succeeded in carry- ing off the much coveted prize. On twv or three occasions he has come off second. In fact his luck as a Derby jockey was proverbfal, and many sports often bet against‘*Fordbain’s mount.’’ Jobn Tiotter’s chestnut colt PALMSEARER came in second, and Lord Roseberry’s bay colt Visconti,who cut up so badly in the Two Thou- sand Guineas,third. There were twenty-three starters. THE BETTING wastwentyto one against Sir Bevys, fifty to one against Visconti. Palmbearer had no friends, and does not appear to have been even quoted. Cadogan, Charibert and Victor Chief had the first place in the betting. Osborne rode Palmbearer, Constable, conti, and Arche, Charibert. Sir Bevys, the winner, was trained by Jos. Hayhoe. lis sire was Favonius, who carried saron Rothschild’s colors to the front in the Derby in 1871. On the 10th of May a bet of $1,- 000 to $200 was laid against him, and then the odds rose to 100 to6. There was one bet made May 12th of $3,000 to $120 against Sir sevys and others, at the rate of 33 tol. Vis- THE TIME | made Dy Sir Bevys was three minutes and two seconds. THE START was fine, allthe twenty-three horses getting away together in handsome style. Charibert, who was one of the favorites and against whom betting was nine to two, took the lead immediatelv, and held it for a few strides, when Protectionist, a dark horse, overtook him and _ qgailantly held the lead for a while. Biue Blood, Exeter, Hut Busb, Abbot of St. Mary’s Cadogan and Vic- ter Chief came next in the order named and close together, clear in advance of Caxtonian, while the other fourteen horses straggled atir- | regular distances behiad with Sir Bevys | LAST OF ALL. The race continued in this order until the horses were coming down the hill, when Cado- gan and Victor Chief madea rush and drew to the front.

Visconti themselves, when skillful and plucky Bevys, made an unexpected move. to finish Fordham, jockey His horse were going the | Fordham let him out AT HIS FULL SPEED. the winner by three-fourths length. The other | horses followed in a cluster, with Squirrel last. Fordham received a great ovation, this being the first Derby he has ever won. The excitement was intense. Everything was | uproar and confusion, It could not be believed. Where were Charibert, Cadogan, Falmouth and allthe cracks? Since Hiermit’s year the scene on the downs as the winner passed the post has never been equal ed. The betting men were aghust. This time they were stuck with a vengeance. Indeed, many of the proim- inent betting men,it is confidently asserted, will be ‘‘broke.’’ The winner, whose victory was so unexpected, was lustily cheered, and he and his jocxey were surrounded, amidst huzzas, hat throwing and other enthusiastic outbursts. The result of the Derby has been a great sur- prise, and much money was lost and won on the event. The vookmakers were very for- tunate, and won back many of their losses on Purole. THE WINNER’S RECORD. Sir Bevys, the winner of to-day’s Derby, is owned by Baron Rothschild, though he is run in the name of Mr. Acton, the racing pseudo- nymofthbe Baron. His sire was Favoarius, who was also owned by the saron, and won the Derby in 1871. As a two-year-old Sir Bevys ran four races. First, at Ascot in June, in the Fern Lill stakes, where he failed to get a place; secondly,at the Vee wserlbet. July meeting, in the two-year-old } ig- | stakes, where he was : Aisa a tanced ; thirdly, at N@wmarket in October, where he on by aneck a race of six turlongs,catrying 122 py nds in a fleid of nine, and tourthly at Newmarker, W2ere he was beaten by a head for a ditch mile nu. 2°TY 282- dicap, carrying 120 pounds.

The Seventy-Five Hour Walk. CHICAGO, May 28.—The seventy-five hour walk for the championship of the world and the O'Leary belt, emblematic of the same, will begin in the Exposition building this evening, twenty-two contestants being started at eight o’clock. Among the lot are Crossland and Parry, of England, and Guyon, of Chicago, whose recent victories in the six days’ *‘go as you please’’ and seventy-five hour walk in New York have added greatly to his brilliant record. Mr. Chas. E. Davies, Guyon’s backer, and Mr. James Smith, his trainer, arrived from New York last Monday, and express them- selves as confident that the Chicago represen- tative will make a good showing. Crossland is in fine condition, having been trained by his fellow -countrymen, Captains Blake and Turtle. The other men are not so well known, but still the winner awe turn up among them. The track is finished and pronounced by those who are used to it to be first-class. The accessories of the walk will be properly attended to, and inorderto secure the patronage of the best portion of the patie. all improper characters will be excluded from the building.
