(From Our London Correspondent.)

LONDON, September 5. Lady Saint (the newly-named St. Leger— Hilda mare) became an odds-ou chance for the Wolverhampton Handicap, run hist Monday, but could get no nearer than third to the locally trained Suezath. a daughter of Glenwood. a son of the mighty Ormonde. The race, worth £300, was run over a mile and a half.

Oban, the aged son of Locbiel and Yonusta scored a win for his owner, Mr F.dgar Cohen, at the Doiuiville meeting (Prance) concluded last Saturday. The old Australian gelding was engaged in the Prix l)u Golf, a selling steeplechase of 2sovs each, with £120 added. The race was for fontyear olds and upwards, over a distance of 23 miles. Well ridden by Gildon, with 10.1 r? on his back-. Oban easily put paid to the claims of his six opponents, and won in a canter.

Chainshot, the expatriated Musket sire, claimed a winner at Derby on Thursday, in Drumshoreland. who accounted for a field of 18 "kittle-kattle," in Ihe Abbots Hill Selling Plate of 150 soys. The winner is a three year old sou of Ohainshot and Strathbroek. and has "100 and temper." so bis owner, Mr llallic-k. having been let in by him on a former occasion, was glad to see tho last, of him at 210 guineas. The race was practically devoid of both interest and incident, for jumping off with the lead. Drumshoreland was never headed, and carved the mile out in .1.44 2-5, with the featherweight of 7.0 up.

The first day's racing of the Derby September Meeting, which took place last Tuesday, witnessed the success of Carburton, a four year old son of Carbine and Mrs Rutterwiek. In the Portland Plate. Worth only £100. and run over six furlongs, the event did not attract a vory high class field. With 7.10, and nicely handled by Otto Madden, Carburton took charge of affairs at the distance, and set-

tling the pretensions of the three year olds Royal Berry (7.5) and St. Medoc (S.l), ran home two lengths ahead, Royal Berry beating St. Medoc tor second honours by three quarters of a length. Seven others started,

Carburton was bought by his present owner, Mr <-'. Morbey, for 350 guineas, when the Duke of Portland was weeded out his stud last December.

White Webbs, a three year old son of Trenton out of Spoletta, annexed the last race of the day, the Helper Plate of 100 guineas, from a field of five. The distance was one mile and a half, weight for age. Mr Whitney's colt had the services of Marfin. Series (St. Simon—Sierra) was installed favourite, on the strength of beating White Webbs at Gatwick. The favourite irettiUE between Gun Court and Y\hite Webbs lv a slashing finish, got squeezed out of it. and the son of Trenton beat Gun Court in the last stride by a head.
