The favourite, Craganour, got home, but an objection laid against his being awarded the stakes on the ground that he had bumped into and interfered with Aboyeur in the straight was upheld and the colt was disqualified. The winner went out friendless, and started an odds representative of a three-figure dividend. [The precise odds were cabled, but thanks to our restrictive gaming legislation, it is not permissible to publish them. DESCRIPTION OF THE RACE. (Received June 5, 2 p.m.)' LONDON, June 4.

The stewards found that Craganour, the winner of the Derby, interfered with the other horses in the race, by boring and bumping Aboyeur. i\lany witnesses declare that. Davison's aW was deliberate. Others are of.. opinion ■ that the woman, in tho belief that all the horses Jjad passed, attempted to attract attention, by 'trespassing on the course. Anmer struck her like, a cannonball, and flung her for yards along the course. Anmer somersaulted afterwards. Jones' foot was caught in the stirrup, and he was dragged for some distance.

Cinematograph pictures of the incident were being shown in the picture halls on the same evening. Jones' ribs were fractured, but he is improving. Davison's; condition is serious. •

Mr Pcthick Lawrence, in an interview, said that although the deed v/as a : de.spera.te one, there was no doubt that Davison had deliberately ventured her life With superhuman courage to call attention to woman's, wrongs.
