.This year's Derby has been attended with ■ ■ pieatj of sensations. The two v iorni ; -*h<«ra by The Tetrarch made the chance of . Inst' phenomenal colt look much better than that of any ol the other candidates, and durlasr the winter ho vraf backed down to a very ■tsort pric*, in spite of imnours that he ■*■« unsonnd. Aitar varioua coutradictorv wports as to liia condition, it was announced a few. weeks back that it would be impossible to train Ihe ictrarch for the Derby, and he waa withdrawn from the » raw. "With the , ndrav,•al of Ihe Tetxarch, Sit John Thursby's colt, Kennym arc, by_ John o'Gtnat—Cioceum, would be certsia to become favourite, for ho had the . best credentials cf the others engaged, aa Corcyra, whoso two-year-old . form was practically ac good as Kennyinoie's, was unfortn»t«Jy not in the Derby. The cable tell* us thai kwsvrcore after playing up ■it the start, was hopelessly lett. Durbar ■ 11., the w-nner cf what is'the most coveted lace on the Turf, wss bred in France by his owner, Mr H. B. Duryea, an American •partsman, who has been domiciled in •• aria for eoroe years, and who wen tho Two Thousand Guineas in 1912 with Broomstick. The form shovn by Durbar 11. in bii J aces in France c-as distinctly and would hardly encourage the hope that he was likely to win the Derby.

Under {ho itsw regulations for adrabsipn. to the General..Stud tSoofc, Durbar 11. can nerer find a 'place there, as not only is his dam cot. eligible in direct femalo tail," but the- three circs, John R. Grimes, Napoleon, and Pacolet, are untraceable, and ■although Jlanovor goes back direct in female tail to the English thoroughbred, ho would not be entitled to admission, as there are several sires in his' pedigree, that are untraccable. . Hapsburg, who ran second, to Durbar 11., v was. regarded as a promising two-year-old. - Rofcrrintr to Sir Ernest _ Cassol's cslt prior to the Two Thousand Guineas, a writer in the "Ti*ld" snid:^ —■■He* is, tinfortunately, nither on fhe small side. Ho first Tan in the Nev.- Stakes at Aecot, which he. won by 'four lengths from- a fairly useful field, and ho next* won the British Dominion Stakes at Sandown .Park, when he carried &at 81b, and gave a lot of weight awiy all, round. The field was a-large one, but did iiot include many hows who fubsequently distinguiFhed themsolves. napsburg's Jiext rece , Tva*. the Great Lsncpfhire Breeders' Produce Stakoe at Liverpool, and in this he gave 91b to Lonsftowa, 2llb to Dan .Euaaol, and Vilh/ to Lancelot, fend as much wirht to tbriso others.of lesser acconnt. This perfonnence was a remarkably Binart one, and if Hepsbursr ■ had . not run Pince he would' vow be greatly fancied for his • thfee-ye&r-old but ho failed badly in the Imneml • Produce Plate at Kcmptou Park, after having started an equal favourite with By George. That this va* the Desmond colt's true form we have always been inclined to doubt, and through Lonstown it can bo made out to b» nearly a atone wrong; but it is juet possible that Hapsburg won his races..in Jtrne and July because he was verr forward and nipny, ■und thet by the taiddlo of October other had gained on h : ta. wbilo he, ow-n? to his lack of eize, h?<3 stood still. This idea has been 'susgeted k- more than one capable citic, but we aro not to Tearsrd it, and pref6r .to go on the pTan of a horee by his V>c=t »-nd not , by his worat forna."
