CARBINE AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

A period of over three decades has slipped since Carbine met with his hea.d defeat in the V.R.C. Derbj Many reasons operate serving to keep that sensational event in me-mory,-but to those who have followed, closely Carbine and his descendants the paramount thought is that tne loss of the Derby prevents what would have been a highly attractive table, with Carbine heading the Derby list.

Derby, viz., F.J.A. Lady Wallace-, Mountain King, Wilari, Wolawa, and Patrobas. Wallace's record stands by itself ac the Derby is concerned. ' to th© Old Country Carßdne begat a Derby winner in Spearmint, and now the interesting news comes from linglana that a descendant of Spearmint captured the blue ribbon at Epsom on Wednesday last. '.
