DUKE OF PORTLAND’S WINNINGS.
In future when the English racing season of 1889 is alluded to, it will be called “ The Duke of Portland’s year.” To win something like £74,000 in stakes between April and the end of October is a great feat, and it is all the more remarkable when we think that it is about twice as much as when Lord Falmouth nearly carried all before him in 1878. The English turf has ex perienced a great rise in the value of its stakes in the last 10 years, and may go on increasing, but it is greatly to be doubted whether a larger sum will ever be won by one owner in one season than that accomplished during the past by the bearer of the popular black and white jacket.
