"MR DEAN."
The solemn service was progressing m Westminster Cathedral (aays " Truth,") and the Dean sat enthroned, when a telegram was handed to him : He opened it, and oast his eyes up to heaven m dire perplexity. It ran thus :— lf Ormonde has won. " Who was Ormonde ? and what bad he won! Vainly canons and such like minor lights were consulted. If they knew they pretended not to. It was subsequently discovered that the telegram had been s<nt to Mr Dean, a trainer at Winchester." but as it was addressed " Dean, Winchester " it was handed to the Dean. The telegraph clerks were probably under the impression that this dignitary had put a trifle on the race, and bad desired that the reßult should be at onoe forwaaded to him.
