Derby Day—The Course and the Crowd at Epsom-The Grand Race—The Winner and His Jockey~Mr. Chuplin’s Double Tri- umph—Scenes on the Gronnd—The Road Home, &c. Ersom,May 22, 1867. This has been in every respect an extraordivary day, long to be remembered in sporting and meteorologica! annals, For tho first time since the famous 1839, when Bloomsbury won the blue riband, the Derby has been run in @ snow storm, On that occaston the course had to be cleared of the snow before the horses started; to-day rain, bail and snow squalls alternated, but when the horses went to the starting post the clouds parted and the sun shone out brilliantly, as if old Sol bimself were anxious to witness the great race, To this phenomenal weather add the fact that the Derby was won by an out- sider, against whom the betting stood 100 tol, and you will sce why this is called an extraordinary day. ‘The race course at Epsom is upon the Downs, about niaeteen miles from London. A wide, level common, carpeted with indifferent turf and decked here and there with clumps of furze and bushes, is the Epsom course. No charge whatever is made for admittance to this or any other English racing ground, except for carriages and (o the grand and private stands, The arrangements are of the most elaborate description. The track itself is fenced in by a chain, and forms a five-sided figure, different from any track in America. ‘The grand stand 1s a substantial building, containing Testauranis, offices and @ private room for the Queen, The front is divided into boxes and stalls, taken by the same parties year after year, like boxes at the opera, The roof ix siaming, and atfords an excellent view of the entire course, Flanking the grand stand are long rows of platform @tands. In front are enclosures divided by iron railings, and devoted to the general betting ring, to the Tattersals and Newmarket clubs, and to the jockeys and trainers. To the right is the weighing stand. Beyond this is the box for the judges, ‘and opposite this is the winning post, with private stands in the rear. Directly opposite the grand stand 4s the place where the carriages cluster, and back of this are the refreshment booths and the fair tents and the curtains for the noble game of ‘Aunt Sally,” which consists In throwing sticks at a pole, upon which is Placed a toy, a pincushion or a cocoanut—the prize of the person who is lucky or unlucky enough to knock it of The contre of the course is filled with carts, cabs, donkeys on hire, archery batts, rifle galleries and all sorts of holiday paraphernalia, and the common for miles around is dotted during the race week with gypsy ‘Vans and picnic parties, Derby day is the national holiday in England; but it is anolike any other holiday im apy part of the world, An old fashioned “training day” in New England is something like it; but in almost every respect it is unique, It is, ia fact, a combination of a race, a carnival and a fair. To almost all classes of society it is the event of the year, Parlia- ment adjourns for the Derby; the papers are full ; everybody bets upon the Derb; early everybody goes to the Derby aud prepares for a picnic and a frolic, For weeks the betting upon the Derby and the condition of the Derby racers are the promi- went topics of conversation, The horses are more eagerly watched, thoir movements more accurately re- ported than if they were great statesmen or famous generals. As the important day approaches the excite- meat rises to fever heat. Parties are made up; all sorts of conveyances engaged; hampers packed at home or ordered from the wine stores and provision shops; peo- ple begin to arrive from all parts of the country and, indeed, of the world; the sporting editors indulge in long descriptions of the horses and sol prophecies as to the result; spies and “touts”? are employed to watch the favorkes at their exercises and telegraph Papers tack everything upon the , Pablish lucid letters and interminable editorials about the prospects of the race, and numerous kn owing ones advertise their willingness to furnish the name of the Winming horge—the tip, aa it is termed—for a snail pe- Cuniary consideration. pounds are staked by the Hundreds of thousands of betting men, and every Englishman feels it his duty to invest in eepsiakes bet, which somewhat resembles “poule,"’ wince each pate an equal Sum of money into the {und and draws a horse's name by chance from a bat, taking ail the money and treating upper if he be lacky enough to draw the winner.

To-aay presented ali the usual Derby features, except that there were not so many spectators present, and the ladies were noticeably absent. By some this is ascribed to the bad weather. and by othe: a tion which the Derby Day has attained, Yot there we at least two bandred and fifty thoasand persons around the course, and tne vebicles could only be n dered by thousands.

It was with extrem joules cleared for the opeoing race, the Bentinck plate—a mag- nificent contest, for which ten horses were ent and which was won cleverly by the favorite, Nine Elms, ridden by Butler. Nobody paid the slightest attention to this that the course was as all wore epgaged in finding from which to e0e the Derby and in pro- teoting themselves from the rain, hail and snow whic) showered down a re; intervals, The siands and the crowds in the field were now roofed with um- brellae, and the imprecationa upon the vile weatuer were both toud and deep, At three o'clock the euthorities commenced to olear the track for (he eighiy-eighth Derby race, the steward riding about in @ red coat and on a white horse, giving directions which were totally disregarded. For this raco there were 266 subscriptions; the stakes amounted to £7,160, or over thirty-five tuousand doilars in gold. When the numbers of the horses and the names of the jockeys were hoisted upposite tho grand staud, it peared that only thirty racers wore to etart—about the usual number, however—Piaudit having boea with- drawn and Distin substituted at the last moment, While the bell was ringing and the policemon forctug baok the crowd, and the jockeys being weighed, the initiated Were 1uspecting the horses at the paddock, Vauban looked @ winner, and bis backers increased their bets when t saw bis Ddeautiful form.

The Rake and Marksman were not saddiod at the paddock; but the Hermit was there, unnoticed and unknown, shivering with cold, and with kangaroo hind legs, not’ at all at- ctive.

But now the crowd parts, the gates aro thrown open, and thero isa gonuine cheer; for here comes Hermit, the winner, cscurtea by the club steward.

Now the Her- erged from his seclusion, as the joke goes, and the rose has bloomed. But there is a personal as well as a sporting triumph for Mr. Chaplin.

This nobleman 1oses heavily by Hermit’s success. Time has its revenges. Three other races followed the Derby, but excited no interest. It was greater fun to wander over the course and watch the buinors of the fair. Luncheon, too, was in erder, and everywhere parties were pienicing on the grass or in their carriages. The long lines of restaurant booths were overcrowded. Women rode about on donkeys, flading their chief amusement in falling of. There were sparring booths, and the living skeleton and the fat pig and the learned seal flourished in happy pea. Aver @ certain number of glasses of beer an oglishiman imagines that he can do any! and it was laughable to see the crowd shying atthe Aunt Sully poles, shooting bows and arrows at tho archery butts, firing pistols and rifles im the gatieries and roiling ninepios for pints of hazel nuts, utterly uamind- fal of the fact that the chancos were ten to one against their winning anything, ‘and that the prizes were not worth winning.

Nearly evory- body’s hat was adorned with colored papers, the name of the winning horso or with small wooden dolls, arranged in the most grotesque positions. ‘The trade in pea- shooters, false noses aud flour-balls became lively, Every moment the fun grew more general and out- rageous. ‘The gipsies who offered to teil your fortune were mot with offers to tell thoirs, A babel of shouts and cries aad laughter filed the air, The horses ran their races without anybody turing to look at them. Quartettes of men aud women sang bawdy songs. Negro minairols perambulated the course, daucing and singing, but were outdone by the spectators who danced harder and saug louder. Every now and then a shower came down, but did not dampen the mirth, When the sun peeped out it found everybody joliier than before. Had the weather boon fine the sport would have lasted till midmght; but as.Jt was the people began to leave at about half-past five, the Prince of Wales starting among the firs: in an open carriage with postillions, Happy were those who got away early; for at sevon the rain fell steadily, and tho crowds at the railway staion and on the road were thoroughly drenched, Sull everybody was in food lumor, and in spite of the rain we who drove into Lon- don to-uigtt saw those wouderfal scencs on the road which have made the Derby so deservedly famous, RETURNING HOMR, Imagine a string of vehicles oxtending from Epsom to London. A siring of all sorts of velicies, but alton an equatity, A splendid drag, drawn by four magnificent bays and loaded with officers of the Guards, is preceded by an excursion van, tlanked by a costermonger’s cart, followed by # Hansom cab and in danger ot collision with an omnibus, The usual pace is a slow trot, degon- erating now into a walk and then into.a dead stop. The sides of the road are lined with pedestrians, plodding along through tho ram. At the country houses along the route the families are ali seated under awnings out- side the gates, looking at the show, Thers is a halt at every tavern, thore being at lcastadozon “half-way houses’’ between London and Epsom, Penny trumpets ‘squeak, horns are biowa, amateurs toot dismaily upon the cornet and rival parties yell at the tops of their voices tunes which are intended for ‘Ubampag Charley,” “Johnny Comes Marching Home,” ‘We'll Hang Jef Davis” and “Cheer up, Sam.”’ romen in tbe vehicles kiss their hands to everybody and quarrel furiousiy with rival equipages. racy, peeping out trom its carriage, is bit inthe eye by a pea shooler and clamors for the police, A_coachman io an outre livery has his life mado a burden to him by chaif and peas, A negro, travelling in siate, 18 transformed into a white man vy a well aimed flour ball with a celerity that would delight Messrs, Phil- lips, Greeiey, Sumner and Stevens, Hundreds of people wear falso noses and flatter them- solves that they arc disguised. Every swell is hailed as a tailor on a strike; every ls groeied with a “Haitoo, Beales!’’ cries of ‘Bobby !'’ and “Pecler shouted’ and squeaked in all kinds of voices, welcome the appearance of the abashed policeman. At every stoppage there is a fight. London is neared the crowds on the sidewalks in- crease, They are assailed with peas by the sharp- shooters on tue drags and vans, and they warmly retali- ate with stones. My lord in his elegant barouche shar: the eame fate as the costermonger on his cart, and tak: all annoyances as coolly. The streets become more and moro crowded ; all London seems out of dora, ‘the public houses are illuminated, aud are surrounded by immense crowds, like those at the ontrance to a circus in a coun- try village. ‘The drivers are all drunk, and only the direct interference of Providence and the policemen Prevents numerous fatal accidents, Fortunately ‘no- body is hurt.’ If this had been a fine evening the Cro- morne Gardens would have been fitied; for that is the regular thing to do after the Derby; but as 1 turned back to await the Oaks on Friday I noticed that the Gar- dens wore almost deserted, although Clapham Common was Int up like a fair. As this letter is ended the procession of carriagos atifl continues; but it iscotd and dark and wet, the fun is dying out, and soon nothing but most pleasant and un- pleasant recollections and altered bank accounts will tewatu of the Derby of 1867, THE OAKS.

The Oaks is commonly called ‘the ladies’ race," and for a double reason—frst, because it is a race for fillies only, and second because it is usually patronized very largely by the ladies, who have ceased wo attend the rougher and more democractic Derby. wey The Oaks is ran upon the same sontay, ana for 4 sas Importance in the sporting world. Te: of scarcely tes day, however, the running was very poor and the at- tendance far below the avorage. The bad race was caused by the foregone conclusion that Achievement must win; the bad attendance by the cold, disagreeable March weather, biting east wind, clouds of dust and storm, threatening heavens. Tho general features of the course were the same as on the Derby day, but the crowds were very considerably reduced in numbers, and were composed of much more arstocratic elements. Tar Race ‘was as great a surprise asthe Derby, Achievement, the favorite, boing badly beaten by a second rato mare. Baron Rothschild has won his first notable victory on the turf, aad Daley, the jockey who rode Hermit, has again covered himself ali over with glory and five pound notes. ‘Tue display of carriages on the road and at the course was much more elegant than on the Dorby day, the vans, omnibuses, cabs and costermongers’ carts having disappeared. ‘The iadies wore beautiful spring costumes, bat were soon obliged to hide them ander heavy wraps.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Racing at Chantilly—Derby Day in France— Vive Capital Races—Who Were Present and Who Were Not—The Fashionable Display. The Favorites Beaten—The Scene and the Arrangements &c., &c. Cnantmix, May 19, 1867. The regular spring mocting, under the patromago of the Paris Jockey Club, closed here to-day with five capital races, including the French Derby, which is gradually commencing to rival the great English Derby in interest and popularity. Chantilly is about twenty-five miles from Paris; but the Northern Railroad ran any number of immense special trains, and all who wished to come out were accommodated, As early as eight o'clock A. M. crowds began to arrive from Paris; the residents of the neigh- boring country poured into town and picniced in the park, and many Englishmen, who bad crossed the chan- one o'clock there were nearly ten thousand people in and around the grounds, and this number was augmented by later arrivals The weather was at first everything that could be de- sired—the air pure, warm and balmy; the sky obscured by clouds which mitigated the glare and heat of the sun. Tn its location and general surroundings the course at Chantilly resembles that at Paterson, Now Jersey, and is not at all like Jorome Park, Putting the latter park entirely out of the question, therefore, since there is nothing to suggest either a comparison or a contrast, you may form a very good idea of the Chantilly course by recalling the chief features of that at Paterson. Leav- ing the railroad stations both coursyes are approached in the same way, viz, by a delightful little walk through a shady lane; but the Chantilly lane is longer and incom- parably more beautitul. The courses lie in much the same way, the ground boing perfectly level, and the racing track oval. Around both courses are fringes of woods and fields, with low ranges of hills beyond. The stands are also located in the same positions at Chautifty and Paterson; but whereas the Paterson stands are slightly built, rough and rather uncomfortable, those at Chantilly are erected of red and white brick and aro elegantly fitted up, Taking into consideration their distances from Paris and New York respectively, and the cvincidences in their approaches, location, form, and the Derby races, the Chantilly and ‘Paterson races are almost identical. Standing at the imperial pavilion in the Chantilly Course to-day the viow was certainly most picturesque, ‘To the right and left hands are tho grand stand and the Jockey Club stand, fast Giling up with handsomely dressed ladies and gentlemen, To the rear of these glimpses could be caught of the restaurants, with par- ties picnicing upon the green sward and white aprened waiters running to and fro. Beyond those again is the paddock, where the horses are being led up and down under the old tree, To the right is the weighing stand, crowded with jockeys in their gay jackets, Outeide of this portion of the park throngs of people are walking or driving along from the railway station; ‘but there are none of those venders of cakes, beer, nuts and patent medicines who infest the outside of the park at Paterson. Turning now to the front we have the whole course before us—a great field of green; for in France, as in England, the races are run upon the turf. The line of the track ts marked only by 4 rope on either side. In the centre of the oval track are groups of visitors promenading and flirting, and vast swarms of people cluster around a row of red wi jagons. like cireus carriages, the == <* which we slull discover presently. uppusus to the grand stand, on the other side of the course, is a large, square stone building, once a chateau and now used as the club stables, Beyond this the roofs of the houses of the town of Chantilly peep above the trees. The green turf, the darker hue of the woods, the bright dresses and constant movement of the crowd, the white houses of tho town and the blue hills framing, all make up a scene indescribably charming. Before the races commence su wagon: d study the mysteries of the French ‘* ponte,” which is quite diferent from the pool betting in vogue at American races, *‘Poule”’ is simply » lottery, for which the racing is only an excuse, There are two franc, five franc and ton franc poois, these sums repre- senting the value of the tickets, and the aumber of tick- ets sold correspond Witu tue number of horses entered for the race. Having bought your ticket you wait pa- tently until the rest of the pool is sold. Then, by means of a lottery-wheel, the numbers of the various horses are drawn out and apportioned to the numbers on the ticketa, If you hold the number of t ning horse you receive all the money in the pool, less the percentage of the pool seller; but this ts all a matter of chance; for you cannot that il over to the red #0 your horse and are as likely to draw a bo Goat rum as ono that wins. For exampie:—Six horses aro entered for the first race, You pay five francs for & ticket and recei number one in the first pool. By and by t hombers are drawn, and number one ticket draws horse number six. When the horses are started you observe that nunsber six is withdrawn, Good bye to your five francs. If, however, you had drawn horse number three, which won thd race, you would have won the pool of thirty francs, All luck and no judgment re- quired, so everybody patronizes the “‘poules,"” which are, of course, under tie sanction of the government.

NOTES ON NEW BOOKs. “Liber Libroram" 1s the title of a new work on the structure, limitations and purpose of the Book of Books. An American edition of it bas just been issued attesting, like the multiplied reprints of “Ecce Homo’’ and ‘‘Koce Deus,” the deep and wide spread interest io this coua- try as well agin Great Britain in theological questions, notwithstanding the strong materialistic tendencies of the present day, The leading positions of the anony- mous author may be briefly characterized by thow which be opposes and rejects:—1. He opposes the ‘“‘bib- liolatry” which idolizes the letter of the Scriptures as against the claims of the Scriptures thembelves and the spirit of their contents. 2. He opposes the pretensions of High Church arrogance aod the’pharwaiem of sensu- ous ritualism, 8, He rejects also the narrowness of thas theological dogmatism which reads covery term eed phrase of its creed and catechism between the lines of the Scriptures and refuses to revise the tradi- tions of the. schools of theology by the ald of better. methods of interpretation, The eub- title of the book, “A Friendly Communication toa Reluctant Sceptic,” indicates the class of readem for whom it is specially intended, and as a whole it is eminently adapted to relieve their difficulties, The American editor remarks that some of the opinions ex- Pressed in it are given as conjectures, and others ere manifesily not well considered, In respect to some points, moreover, the work betrays marks of haste, both in thought and composition; but its spirit is earnest, honest and Christian. While it is not, and does not claim to be, an exhaustive argument for the truth of Christianity, it has at least this merit that it de-, fends Christianity against the ignorance and weakness of many of its defenders. We feel bound to add one fur- ‘ther remark suggested by the anonymous publication of “Liber Librorum.”’ Interior in display of intellectual! power to either of its predecessors, ‘‘Koce Homo" and “Eece Deus,” it is not unlikely to share in the prodigious success which those works attained, and for which bet were in no small measure indebted to the curiosity ex- cited by their mysterious authorship. There ie danger that many a fool and ignoramus, not to say villain, may be tempted to rush into print under the mask of anonymousness, confident that a large sale of his worth- less, or worse than worthless, book may be secured be- , fore its real character shall haye been detected. The subject of the whole class of works to whioh ‘‘Koce Homo," ‘Ecce Deus’ “‘ and “Liber Librorum” belong is of such momentous importance that no writer upon it should shrink from the responsibility of publishing mie views under his own name, “Man and the Conditions that Surround Him: Hie Progress and Decline,”’ is the titie of a volume in whtok the anonymous writer, taking “The proper study of mankind is man’’ es atext, aims at presenting, in @ popular form, some of the current questions, theories: and solutions that have reference to man’s past and present conditions, His main purpose is to demonstrate the rigid subjection of human existence, as well as of nature, to undeviating laws. Ho has evidently refected much, as well as read extensively; bat his familtarity with the latest forms of thought on religion, philosophy, history and social science, bas somewhat confused rather than cleared his ideas, and these are sometimes expressed quite bunglingly. A single instance will auf- fice—‘Whatever speculations may be indulged in,” says the author, “or solutions may be reached, beyond the most ulterior point to which the laws of mind, as of any Other department of nature, may be traced, man-ever finds himself in the presence of something more ulterior still,” &c, “Something more ulterior still, beyond the ‘most ulterior point,’’ must indeed be very far remote from human comprehension. A third edition bas been published im Balumore of “Gleanings from the Harvest Fields of Literature, @ Melange of Excerpta, Curious, Humorous and 1 tive.” Admirabiy printed and bound, this volume offers one of the best and most various collections of “‘ex- cerpts” which we have lately seen. ‘‘It is a reguiar omnibus; there is something in it to everybody's taste.’” Works of this kind are useful as well as ontertainiog, because they supply us with what we frequently want, the thoughts or the materials of thoughts with which we have met in reading; but where we cannot remem- ‘ bor, nor can we recall them distinctly. We seek for them in every corner of the memory but they are not to be found. Their faint impressions are seen, dim, like: the ghosts of Ossian; but too distant and too undefined to be of any use, On the strength of some such simile. we believe the Rev. Dr. Todd planned his convenicat index Rerum;” but this common place boek of “Gleanings” is still more convenient, for it gives ex- tracts ag well as references. It was collated by Dr. 0. G. Bombaugh, of Baltimore, “Bid him welcome. This is the motley minded gentioman."” “Mr. Secretary Pepys, with Extracts from His Diary,”” by Allan Grant, We announced in advance the publica tion of this elegant little volume, which contains the: quintessence of the Scotch edition of the memoirs of the ‘‘mimitable diarist.”” We need only renew our’ thanks to the American editor for affording us the Pleasure of again looking at so admirable @ picture of one of the most interesting periods of English history— the first nine years of Charles LI.’s reign.

James Hart has almost completed the large Jandacape on which be has been so tong engaged and which ne calls “Peaceful Homes,” It will repay the time be- ‘stowed upon it. It is the most Important work, whether we regard plan or execution, that this artist has attempted. It embraces an immense stretch of perapec- tive, and the details are worked out with admirable truthfulness.

After afew seasons more of sketching in the country we have no doubt that these peculiarities to which we allude will disappear, Granville Perkins bas completed a ploture of Pacifio const scenery, which shows acareful study of offects.
