In the ring the last betting was 3 to 1 agst. St. Giles (taken), 6 to 1 against 
Perion (taken), 6 to 1 agst. Margrave (taken), 7 to 1 agst. Mixbury (taken), 
12 to 1 agst. Kate, and 25 to 1 agst. Gratis. 
Mr. Ridsdale declared to win with St. Giles. Trustee made play at a 
pace that we have not seen for the Derby some years; Kate lay second, 
Perion third, and Beiram next, with St. Giles and Margrave at hand ; Non 
Compos, and two or three others, tolerably well up. This was the order 
of running till they got to Tattenham Corner, where George Edwards, who 
was on Trustee, took a hasty glance of the race, and, finding that St. Giles 
w as very forward and going the pace well, he actually laid the whip into his 
horse, and brought them into straight running at a pace that told terribly 
amongst the outsiders—the tailing was woful. When the horses got round 
the corner, those mentioned as being next Trustee drew upon him, and we 
were as yet unable to form any opinion of the race. About a distance and 
a half, how ever, from the finish, St. Giles went by them all, Perion passing 
Trustee at the same time, w hile Margrave, Kate, Non Compos, and Bei¬ 
ram, closed with the latter at the Grand Stand. Perion, Kate, and two or 
three others, attempted to get up, but died away one after the other, St. 
Giles winning very easily by a length and a half. Trustee ran a remarkably 
good horse, and has certainly justified all that has been said of him ; he 
w as only half a length astern of Perion : Margrave was fourth, Non Com¬ 
pos fifth, and Kate sixth, and Beiram was not far behind. Messenger had 
cast himself in the stable on Monday night, and w as very much cut. 
Mr. Ridsdale netted two thousand seven hundred and seventy-five pounds 
by the stakes (after the customary deductions), and upwards of.forty thousand 
■pounds by bets! the largest sum that has been won on any race for several 
years; and this St. Giles was, for a long time, out of the betting, owing to 
a general belief that he was wrongly described, and therefore disqualified.
