236 EACECOUESE AND COVEET SIDE. 



" shut up " one by one, disaster overtaking too 

 credulous backers with lightning speed. A 

 dark-blue jacket flashes past the post, a pink 

 follows, and then comes the primrose and rose 

 hoops. Up go the numbers 18, 13, 30. Sir 

 Bevys has won, Palmbearer is second, and Lord 

 Rosebery has landed his place bets about Yis- 

 conti. At first it is thought that the Squirrel 

 has brought about the dreaming prophecy, but 

 it is his stable companion. Truly the proverb 

 that declares " the way to find out the winner is 

 to watch the judge's board " is a very wise one. 

 So ends the one hundredth Derby.
