The best feature of Victory Derby Day was the rear of prolonged cheering which greeted the win of his Majesty's horse Viceroy in the race for the Stewards Handicap. It was a fine and exhilarating spectnck, and the people simply reared out their delight as the King and Queen, with the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert, and Princess. Mary, stood at the front of the Royal box smiling their pleasure. The sparkling incident compensated for all else.

should come about noon on Derby Day after the long spell of drought. Almost the first horse caine across in the pad- dock was The Panther. walking behind Jack Role. He was calm and sedate enough then and I think every good judge of fitness agreed that no borse could pos- sibly have looked better and fitter for the part. His condition, indeed, did immense credit to his trainer, George Manser, who certainly did everything humanly possible to assist the horse to win. As an indivi- dual the favourite stood out on looks. He was greatly admired, and if only

Buchan had clearly done well since run- ning second for the Two Thousand Guineas, and there would have been great rejoicing had this gallant son of Sunstar won for Major Astor. The slightest bit of luck, and he would have won. Grand Parade walked round in front of Domin

ion.

There is a lot to like about both horses, and though on the small side the former has undoubtedly more quality, Someone, who seemed to know, remarked afterwards that Grand Parade was only the second black horse to win the Derby. Paper Money was cool and businesslike, but he just lacks being distinguished in appearancer White Hent lives up to his name both in and out of a race, and he seemed to object to this elevation to the highest class of pacing Roamer is a harse that will certainly win when a policy less naibitions is pursued with him." Tangiers is quite an imposing horse, and Milton is nicely moulded, with apparently a placid disposition.

All stone-was an object of-much-interest, but I did not. specially notice him at any point in the race I think most of the others bad a bit too much speed for hiul at the start.

The worst feature was the dramatic failure of the Derby favourite. The Panther could hot oven get a place, and he was beaten se far that the whole dis play stands out as being grotesquely wrong and absurd. Buchan, who finished seeund, was very close to the winner as they went past the winning-post. On the Two Thousand Guineas running The Panther should bave been in front of Buchan, or at least in the near vicinity Instead he was lengths away. Why? The Answer is that human calculations on -the-things were upset by the unforeseen happening No one could have expected this great favourite to suddenly develop extraordinary excitement and femper at the starting-post, and then, as the out

It was evident as the horses' paraded come, lose several lengths when the start took place. That is what happened. The thar The Panther had become excited. Whether it was the sight of the masses of best horse conceivable cannot give away lengths of start for the Derby as races are people know not. but something had determined in these days. It certainly upset him. He danced at the walk and cannot do so when asked to make up the bruke out in a sweat. He moved well in thecanter, but Cooper was not exactly en leeway in half a mile up a decided in- cline Had The Panther been beaten on port with him.

Lord Glanely has supported the Turf in recent years on the highest and best lines he has shown marked generosity as a philanthropist, and it is fitting that such a man should win that prize which has eladed many who have tried longer and equally as earnestly. But how much more satisfactory the triariph would have been had not circumstances arisen to make the win of Grand Parade merels doubtfully popalar Bere was a horse which carried the second colours, implying, as the mar ket niso implied, that he was the inferior of his stable companion Dominion.
