A CHROXICLE OF THE DERBY. 259 



The Derby of this year will al\va3'S be memorable on 



account of the winner having also won the Oaks — the 



jgQj first time of the double event being ac- 



Eieaiior. complished. Fillies this year, it may be 

 stated, carried only 7 st. 12 lb. Sir Charles Bunbury, 

 the owner of Diomed, winner cf the first Derby, was 

 also the fortunate possessor of Eleanor, who took the 

 double event. There were thirty-one subscrii)tions 

 taken out for Eleanor's Darby, and of the horses en- 

 tered eleven came to the post, all of which wore 

 apparently placed by the judge.
