ROYAL DERBY HORSE FOR CANADA.
The King has presented his racehorse Anmer to the Canadian Government for remount breeding.—Reuter. (Anmer, now a six-year-old was one of th e sensation horses of the famous Derby of 1913. He was somewhat fancied for the race in certain quarters, but rather perhaps because he carried the royal colours than on any of his past form.

Graganour only won by the narrowest margin, but the stewards disqualified him for bumping and boring, and awarded tile race to Aboyeur, who started at 100 to 1. Anmer provided the other sensation of the race. The suffragette campaign was at the time at its height and as the horses vrere rounding Tattenham Corner, a woman rushed on the course and tried to stop the royal candidate. Anmer crashed "Into the woman, who was mortally injured.)
