THE VANDERBILT BRONZE.

As eminent for practical sagacity as for farsightedness, he has, on the one vand, avolded the fainiiies of ihe visionary, walle avorling, on the other hand, tho literal rut iato which $0 maay busi- mess men are apt to fal. Two qualities of mind Farely united have met im the mental temperarnent of the representative man under consiferation. ‘They are ihe ability wo take in tn detail the minute facts of & subject aud tho comprehenslyencss to grasp the subject a3 a whoie, while loging sight of none of its Minor and triviul pots. Had the symp: thetic facuigy uf Coleridge beou equal to his powcrs of analysts hé might have been the founder ef a philo- wephical sysicut, As itis, his writings are brilliant Boas, Kingle columns of wondertui beauty, of Which neither the Jabricator nor anybody else nas ver been adie to build a philosophical palace. They are bits of mosaic simply, and irregular bits at that, wonderfatly colored and imiaid, but fittiag to gether in no particular order, ‘he combination of the ideal with the pi eal, then, consti- tutes the basis of success wherever colossal success is won. A good mind is both milcroscopic and teiescovic at one and the same time, is ab ence compreiensive and minute i its scrutiny, and of this ciass of mind the American business world has hever had @ wore eminent exampie than that of the Subject whom the bronze to be unveiled to-day eonimemorstes. This Kind of forecast is business economy upon & grand scale, Always succeeds in its urmlertakings When backed by the needed executive energy and tact, ana generally awasges results, the eifecis of which are stauiped upon the century. It 18 priuclpally, however, as a representative American that Mr, Vanderbilt is to be considered, Phe Greeks had genius; the Romans judgment and indasiry.

The history of tne work is romantic.

It ls now nearly @ fortulght since the public were informed that be Was 80 Scriously 1; that at his great age a restora- tlon to even tolerable health was exceedingly douvtiul, and from the first it was be- Ueved that his lordship, who had struggicd maniully through so many attacks of his old enemy, the hereditary gout of his family, would succumb to that which he was called on to resist at the patriarcnal ago of threescore and ten, For the first few days the bulletins daily Issued by the plys:- olans Were somewhat hopeful ta tone, and there were some sanguine enough to imagine that the symptons would take @ favorable turn; but it was not to be, for on Sunday the old Barl became uncon. Sclous, and from that period his sorrowing reiatives were hourly expecting his decease. Despite some stout efforts he Was never able to recognize them, and never spoke a word, end during the whole time bo sustenance of any Kind passed his Ups. The battie ho fought with death was 80 pro longed that one might ave supposed he Wished the last scenes of lis life to show that an- yleiding spirit he had mantfested tisoughout ois career, He died at a laie hour this moruing—too late to allow of tho pews appearing nm tue papera— and it was not till London was inthe fuli swing of business that the shrill saricks of the newsboys gave them nottce of the fact Wiwt Bugland had lost ous of her greatest sons, Tt ts not, of course, my iatention to enter on any review of tue political Jie of Lurd Derby—a subject that 13 quite out of my province; but as he played ag great a part on the turf as he aid the Senate and the Cabinet 1t may be well that, to complete the record of his life, 1 should supplemeat the labors ef others by giving & brief narrative of his conuection with the racing. Nowadays, when the sport is mucb below the levei it held ten years ago, it would seem somewhat strauge to dna @ great statesman engseyed in its pureuit; and one would be startled to see Mr, Glau- stone taking the odds on Newinarket Heath, or Rear of Mr. Disraell’s Cambridgeshire horses figuring 10 the quotations, or read of Lord Sausbury wiaing a race at Kpsom. But beiore racing became the sport i thy people, and when i was entirciy in the hands of the upper classes, many of the most prominent Political leaders were owners of racehorses, regu- larly atiended the Important meetings, took partin the councis Of the Jookey Ciub, ‘And spent their iives between St. Stopneu’s, Downing street and tue greeasward. ‘The deceased Earl was born ef a sporting family; for both his father ana his graudfeiner were ardent lovers of aki field sports, and the later carried bis passion tor them to such a height that within atew hours of bls death ue bad a “main of cocks’? fought in his bedroom. Lord Derby eaily owed the -herediiary predilection; but for some years he— then culied the ion. Raward Geoffrey Staniey— managed hia father’s boraes, which were trained by Saunders, with great judgment and patience, regu- larly superintending ‘sheir preparatious for great races and watching the trials through which they wore put. Ue drst made his appearance as an owner of horses on his ewnacoount im 1827, when he was twenty-eight yeara of age; wut it was not tul i832 that ke took @ prominent part in connection with tue sport. He placed his stud under the care of Mr. John Scorch of Malton, 8 “Wizard of the Norca,” and amid all the ups and dewns of bia turi career of tuirty ears he never saw any reason to regret lily choice, srange to say, though at various periods be had wonderfully good animais, ke Was nover destined to attain the Lighest racing henors, for alt his one to win tho great Kpsen event, wich bears his family title, ended in fatiure. in this reapéct, Low- ever, ko was only On @ level with otter notable sportsmen, more especially Lord George Bentinck and Lord Glasgow, who, amid all their triumph, sighed in vain for tue “vine mbbou.” He was first successul with Miss Bowe, who won him several Taces, but she Was destiaed to ao greater things jor him at the stud than on the turi, for she was th dam of Longbow, one ef the speediest antnais over known, and of Botarde and be Clare, who bad, it was believed, the Se prizes within tueir grasp. With Ithuriel, of waom much was expected, he Was very unforiunate, fer though the horse beat ied Deer, in @ canter, for the Liverpool St. Leger, and wou’ the Gratwioke Stakes at Goodwood just as easily, he turned out a splemdid cripple and couid not be brought to the post at Doncaster. Meauce, Buely bred mare by Touchstone out of Chuzne: was Colerably successful as a racer, and When put wo the stud was very fortunate, becoming the parent of many notable auunals, Oanezou was another mare Who it was thought would credit Lord Derby with the St, Leger, witch, atter she bad won for him the One Tuousand Guineas and had beaten Fiatcatcher at York, was believed to be at her mercy, tue Deroy victory of Lord Uiiiden’s Surplice, ler most formida- bie opponent, who only beat Sprinzy Jack by a neck ing consilerea so slovenly that it was thought he pad no chance with ker at Doncaster. ‘Toord Was & tremendous amount of belting between the two, but the mare started the bewer favorite, and the race was one of the most exciting ever wit- nessed on tho Town Moor or élsewhers Fiat catclor at & terrific pace led the feild until after tuo Red House had boen hig when Canezou rushed past bint as if he bad been standing still, but she was challenged py Surpiloe when within @ jew yards of the judge’s chair, and, after « magniiicent struggle, victory crowned tie e/foris of Lord Clif. Geu's representative, Cauezou atoned to Lord Derby for tis defeat by sulsequently winuing several valuable stakes, among them the Newmarket Handicap, which produced & magnificent piece of riding on the part of the great jocxey, Frank But- ler. In ois bands she also Won the Goodwood Cap, for whica she beat tose famous racers The fiero and Chanticleer, and in Wie same Beason sue carried oi the Doncaster Cup.
