Mr Detmont McCalmont has scratched The Tetrarch for the Derby, owing to an injury to his leg. Though rumors had been current for some time that The Tetrarch was threatened with lameness, his scratching caused a great sensation, because of his betting ptiee and his unbeaten record in his seven races as a two-year-old. He hit him elf m oxerc'se. His Ic, had been fired, but this had no c>Ti et. He was heavily hacked onl'- last night to win. Many of his backers in H)l3 ins'.i'fd themselves igainst a break loivn in Lloyd's, and the underwriters have lost hry.vily. The Evening News states that before the Champagne Stakes The Tetrarch show I'd n tendency to hit himself behind the near fore knee when at full stretch. Such serious results followed that be was not allowed to start in the Kempton Produce Stakes. Experts ivere consulted and fitted a special boot to cure the bad habit, but it recurred.
