SPORTING.
Fred Archer, the celebrated jockey, has alio been getting into trouble, for he was summoned before tho stewards of the Jockey Club at Epsom, at the instance of the Duke of Portland, who called upon him to explain why he had not gone to Harpenden, to ride Silver 8011, whose owner, Lord Hastinn, has, with his grace, second claim upon his services. Archer was reprimanded, and told not to do it agaui. In the French Derby wherein he rode the winner Frontin, a protest wa- en'ered against him for jostling, but as th- evidence was not considered conclusive it was dismissed. For this little job Archer was well paid, tne owner of the colt having agreed to give him £2OO if beaten, and £3OO if he won.
