THE EPSOM DERBY.
Full particulars of the running of the English Derby show that Donovan won with great ea&e, his stable companion, The Turcophone, having acted as pace-maker till the home turn was reached. After going nearly six furlongs, Eldorado collided with Gay Hampton, and Cannon on tne former had one of his feet disengaged from the stirrup iron, in which position he was forced to remain till the race was over. The Derby prize brought Donovan's winnings up to very little short of £37,000.
