W-HILE THANKING gentlemen who have sent Mares, and those about to send them to SONGSTER, I wish to draw their attention to the following facts, which is no puff. Hornby, by Songster, out of Toi Toi, sold by Mr Redwood last year for Three hundred and fifty guineas, has won the Christchurch Derby, ran second for Cup, and good second for Metropolitan. The Derby brought seven of the eight acceptors to the post, Grand Duchess at the last moment not putting m an appearance. Hornby, who was fancied by his stable, but not by the public, as he was declai'ed to be an over grown colt that wanted time, won easily from Grip, who was little fancied. Billingsgate, who was a bad third, ran fast for about a mile, and then tired to nothing, thus proving " Hermit's " opinion that he would never stay the course. Betrayer, the winner of last year's Champagne, who started first favourite and who was greatly fancied by the stable and the public finished the absolute last. The Derby Stakes of 250 soys., added to a sweep of 20 soys. each. For 3year olds. Colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst slbs. l_t miles. , Mr R. Ray's b c Hornby 1 Mr H. Redwoodls b c Grip 2 Mr Waters' b c Billingsgate 2 Betrayer, Adamant, On Dit, and . Midge also ran. Betting : Even on . Betrayer, 2to 1 against Hornby, 3to _ against Billingsgate, 6 to 1 against anj other. After several breaks away, 1 "caused by the factiousness of Hornbj 1 and Adamant, the flag fell to a fair start, XJripy immediately going to the front I followed by Adamant and Hornby, BeI trayer a long way behind. Opposite tin stand Billingsgate was third ; Betrayei > making up his lost ground — the pace ai j the back of the course being very gooc I —when Billingsgate drew up to th( leaders. Coming into the straigln Hornby went to the front, pulling hard | while Mr Walters' colt and 'i Betrayei t were beaten half way up the distance Hornby came away, and won cleverlj ' by a length and a half j six lengths be tween second and third.
