The most successful owners; of race-horses (luring the past season were Lord ITalinoutk iUid " Mr Launde," who are each credited with winnings, of more than £15,000. Lord Falmouth has been placed at the head of the list by the victory of Atlantic in the Two Thousand Guineas, ana the unprecedented success of his two-year-olds, all of which contributed something to his whining score. "Mr Launilc," of course, owes his success mainly to the triumphs of Apo ogy in the One Thousand Guineas, the Oaks, the Coronation Stakes, and the St. Leger, but Holy Friar, having secured six oirt of seven prizes, helped to swell the amount by over £2000. M. Lefevre'ts horses were second or third for most of the important events of the season, none of which fell to his share, but he is, nevertheless, credited with £14,024, which has, been earned by his numerous representatives in the many sweepstakes and miner handicaps, where they formed a considerable proportion of the'entries. Though the amount won seems at first sight large, it will defray but a very small part of the expenses of the stable, and does: not represent nearly so solid a. success as tliat which Lord Falmouth and "Mr Launde" have achieved with their limited studs, nor even as that to which Mr Cartwright can lay claim. The latter, with a stud even smaller than that of Lord Falmonth, has won more than £8000, of which £0000 represents George Frederick's victories in Newmarket. Stakes and the Epsom Derby. Mr Vyuer, thanks to the prowess of Camballo; stands fifth on the list, with a total of £7671; and Mr Savile, with Kaiser, Lilian, and Pique, has won £5900, or £120 more than Mr Chaplin, whose chief success has been with his twoy ear-old. Mr Stirling Crawfurd, not having a Two Thousand Guineas placed to his credit this year, does not occupy so good a position as he did hist year ; but the victories of Gang Forward, Royal George, Wild Myrtle, and Craig Millar, keep him in the front rank; and he has a larger total than his racing associate, Lord Ailesbury, who has been very fortunate with Adventuriere. Couut do Lagrange is credited with £4535, and this amount ought, perhaps, to be added to M. Lefe vre's total, in which the French stable would stand at the head of "the list, though even then the balance of profit and loss would be very much on the wrong side. Captain Machell han won £31)30, which is a trifle more than that secured by Lord Lonsdale, whose horses are trained under his supervision. Prince Batthyany, generally very unfortunate, has done better than usual this season, jus with Galopiu he has won more than'£3ooo; whilst Prince Soltykoff stands higher in the list than he ever did before. Mr Merry, who was almost first ]»,st year, owing to the victories of Doncaster and Marie Stuart, never won so little as he has this season; and lie is. just out-distanced by his old trainer, Mr Matthow Dawson, who has carried off a great many races with Thunder. Lily Agnes has_ earned £1920 for Mr Snarry, and Sir Frederick Johnstoue is the last of the sixty-five "winning owners" whose gains are over a thousand pounds.
