when some fireman rescues a woman
from the flames, the

And yet if that

Richmond, Juno 8.—General Fitz-
hugh Lee has decided to locate in Rich
mond and he and Mrs. Leearo trying to
secure a home here into which they
will move this fall after spending the
summer in the north. General Lee will
engage in business. It was suggested
to the general that ho would probably
again enter the political arena. Ho
laughingly said:
“It will, indeed, be hard for mo to
keep out of politics. All my life I have
taken an active interest fn public af
fairs, and will undoubtedly be found in
the political battles of the future.’*
When asked if ho would ever become
a candidate for office, General Lee was
noncommittal.

HORSE TALK IN LONDON
The Superiority of American Horse®,
American Jockeys and American
Training Is Now Admitted by Lead
ing English Sporting Authorities.
London, Juuo 8.—Loudon is still
talking of the Derby and tho Oaks. The
discussion of tho relative merits of
American and British methods of train
ing nud riding has broken out anew. It
must bo confessed that tho British com
ments aro generally very fair. They
sorrowfully admit tho superiority of
America on every point. Tho Sporting
Times says:
“Tho Derby has been won by a
French horse and nil American horse,
but nevor until Wednesday was it won
by n horso who had other than an Eng
lish jockey in the saddle. Whatever
our horses might be, fcne supremacy of
our jockeys was deemed complete. But
that fallacy is now exploded. Thus,
two records were broken, viz: A vic
tory for nn American jockey who was
not a subject of the kiug and tho run
ning of the race in the fastest timo ou
record.**
An Anglo-American Triumph
Tho Derby was an Anglo-American
triumph, but not so the Oaks, which
was American, pure aud simple. It is
a fact that the rivalry ran high in Amer
ica last year between Mr. Whitney and
Mr. Keane, almost amounting to bad
blood when a colt of Mr. Whitnoy’,
beat Olympian for tho Futurity. Under
the circumstances, it is not a little sin
gular that Mr. Whitney should have
won the Derby and Mr. Keane the Oaks,
The Derby naming of Olympian told
Darling he had the Oaks in his pocket
with Cap aud Bells II.
To add to the American triumph, the
Tammany chieftain. Croker, ran third
in the Oaks, while an American jockey
rode tho winner of the Derby, and tho
first three in tho Oaks wero ridden by
jockeys of that nationality. Henry,
who was imported by Mr. Keane, who
brought Sloau to this country, has made
a rare beginning.
Horse Leased to Whitney,
The papers have printed Now York
dispatches saying that Mr. Whitney
would take Volodyovski to America,
but he cannot do that. Ho had simply
leased the horse for £5,000 cash and a
half of what the hor.-e might win at
three and four years of age, after which
he was tp be returned. Had Lady Meux
cared to sell the colt outright on
offer that was made he would now
stand at £25,000, the offer being £15,
000 down and *10,000 more if ho won
tho Derby.
In these matters she has not looked
on money at all. Her great desiro was
that as Huggins had borne tho heat of
tho day ho should reap tho reward. For
that reason she accepted an offer that
would admit of Volodyovski’s remain
ing in his stable. The only thing that
might have altered all this was if King
Edward had continued to bo Prince of
Wales. But for his accession to tho
throne we should now see him credited
with what no living person has been
credited with, viz: three Derby winners.
A Public-Spirited Woman.
Lady Meux is a very public-spirited
womau. She has puid fully for a bat
tery of victors, and the public is little
aware of tho tons of stores of comforts
sho has caused to be sent to tho troops
in South Africa. She has a splendid col
lection of Nelson relics, including Lady
Hamilton’s jewelry. When Temple Bar
was burned Lady Meux saved the ma
terials from being broken up for
sidewalks, had every stone num
bered, aud now old Temple Bar, ex
actly as it was in the Strand, forms
the principal Approach to her estato of
Theobald’s park.
Fabulous sums were won on Cap and
Bells II’s victory of tho Oaks. The
commissioners had literally unlimited
orders to back the filly as long as a de
cent prico was obtainable, and every
American, man and woman, that saw
Foxhall Ktnuo for a week was advised
back the horse.
