’ THE ENGLISH DERBY, —eo——— The Ninety-eighth Anniversary of the Great Racing Event. A GRAND ATTENDANCE. Lord Falmouth’s Silvio the Winner, Glen Arthur Second, Rob Roy Third, | ‘THE BETTING BEFORE THE RACE, | Lospoy, May 30, 1877, ‘The great racing event of the year—the contest for abe Derby Stake—took place to-day on the Epsom Downs, and was witnessed by an immense crowd of people. The race resulted in a victory for Lord Falmouth’s Bolt Silvio, Glen Arthur gecond, Rob Roy third. The betting against Silvio, just previous to the start, wasl2tol. Glen Arthur had 20 to 1 laid against him, While Kob Roy had but 9 to 2. The weather wus cool, pleasant and slightly cloudy, ‘with a hght southwest breeze, Thero were seventeen starters, The latest betting before the raco was 6 to 2 against Chamant, 9 to 2 against Rob Roy, 7 to 1 against Altyre Bnd 8 to 1 against Brown Prince, The prophets, who, until Monday wore unanimous for Chamant, were con- siderably divided this morning, At one time during the forenoon Chamaut was quoted as low as 12101, ‘Dut recovered tod to 1 altor he had becn seen in tho paddock. ‘The morning papers all give their opinions of the Yesult this morning. The Daily Telegraph and Post favored Mr. Santord’s Brown Prince; the Standard favored Chamant or Brown Prince; tho News selected Altyre for the winner, with Brown Prince for second Place, while the Sporteng Life expressed a preference tor Chamant, . Excepting a slight shower just before noon the ‘weather continued fine throughout the day, The railway trains from the metropolis and all out- lying districts wore crowded from an early hour, and Many special trains were run. The Princo of Wales, Princes Leopold and Christian and the members of the ‘Chinese Embasey went down ina special train from Victoria station at one o'clock. The roads were in prime condition and alive with vehicles of all kinds and with equestrians and pedes- trians, The crowd of speetatora along the route scemed ovon greater than those going to Epsom, There was tho usual crowd and scenes on the Downs, During the last three days the betting underwent a Complete revolution, and, until the very moment of Secision, the result was far more doubtful than it had Seemed at apy time the past three months, Chamant, who had been the first favorite ever since betting began and who won the Two Thousand Guineas a month met with Bome accident which, from the first, was believed would prove fatal to his chances, Thero wero ‘various versions of what had happened, According to some he was pricked in shoeing. Others assorted that he had cut bimself in his box. A third story was tbat he had been coughing very badly several days, It was certain, at all events, that he had not hada gallop tor three days, and nobody would have been eurprised to bear that he had been scratched. When it was known, therefore, that Chamant bad arrived at Epsom the anxiety to see bim was very great, and many hundreds visited the Downs at an early hour to witness this morning’s exercise, shortly afier six o'clock, hour was sent two snort cantors and then faken to the top of the hill and galloped at threo parts speed tho remainder of the Derby course, None of the spectators could discover the slightest lamenoss nor any indication of cough; nevertheless the opposition to him broke ont afresn before the racing, and he quickly receded to long odds, Rob Roy again coming to the front, with a propor- tionate shortening of figures on the other cracks. He was out and after walkiug an Long before the numbers were hoisted every spot on the stand was filled. After a preliminary canver, led by Thunderstone, the seventeen starters were marshalled to the post, and at the first attempt the flag fell to a capital start, Glen Arthur apd Tantalus wore first away, and = mado jolut running for 200 yards, when they were joined by Don Carlos, Prince and Jagellon, these being just in advance of Plunger, Touchet, Orleans, Silvio and Rob Roy. Thon ume Grey Friar and Chamant, with Covenanter and Rbidorroch in the rear. Before reaching the mile post Brown Prince took up the running. At the top of the bill Glen Arthar was leading again. As they camo sround Tattenham corn jon Arthur, Touchet, Grey Friar and Siivio on the lower ground were followed by Chamant, Rob Roy, Brown Princoand Altyre. Here Chamant was beaten and Silvio took the second place, Rhiforrocb, Rob Roy id Altyre being just in advance of Touchet and Brown Prince, As they commenced to rise the bill, a little over bundrod yards trom home, Silvio took the command, while Rob Roy began to overhaul the leading pair, However, ho never got up, and Silvio won by halt a length ; three-quarters of a length between second and third. Rhidorroch, beaten by ahead for a place, was fourtn, The remainder followed in the following order:—Altyre, Brown Prince, Touchet, Thunder stone, Grey Friar, Chamant, Jagellon, Planger, Don Onrios, Covonanter, Tantalas, Orleans and Lady Miller, Time, 2:50.

MILLS AND TENEMENTS BURNED. ——_——_— Empty Handed Homes, Poor People Driven from Their THE LOSS AND INSURANCE. [By TELEGEAPH TO THE HERALD.] Moxrreat, May 30, 1877, The painful reminiscences of the holocaust of Stur- baiv street have scurcely passed from the recollection Of our citizens, yet the fire tiend again makes his ap- pearance among us, and although fortuyately on this Occasion it is unuttended with any loss of life, the de- Struction of property 1s very boavy, and the loss falls mostly upon a class of people unprepared for such @ calamity, ‘Tho section of the city which was the scene of this morning’s fire was what may be termed a regular rookery of tinder boards and lum- ber yards, and the fire once started performed its work with the most overwhelming rapidity. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE, Ere tho alarm was given {rom box No. 46 the flames, which originated in one of Mr, Conroy's stables, rear ot Dalhousie street, bad rapidly spread through the ad- Joining dry wooden steds and stables which lie between tho houses on Dalhousio and jareth streets, and with a roar was attacking tho roar of the thickly in- habited houses on Nazareth stroet, commencing at No, 186 and going southward, The wind blowing a fresh breeze trom the west groutly a‘aod the tire in its progress toward the doomed suction of the city. The moment the Chief of Brigade saw the hold the tlames had he gave the second alarm and turned out ine en- tire force and sent tortho St. Henry Fire Brigade, which quickly responded to the call, under command ol Chief Benoit, Prior to this the brigaae laid its first section ot hose iv Nazareth street, now filied with excited people removing thelr household eftocts, and turned its at tention to saving tho six houses which were now buruing inthe reur. The inhabitants had but scant notice to quit, and most of them rose hurriedly from thoir beds to rush from their houses in a half dressed state, leaving their heavy furniture to its fate and glad to eacapo with their lives, The wooden back gul- leries attached to these dwellings greatly atded the Progress of the fire, while the wind detached huge cinders from the stables and sheds in tho rear and flung them far and wide, scattering the fire in local. ities beyond Nuzareth street and over as far as Duke street, The scene at this juncture, about hall-past one, Was most exciting. Tho fire rolled up in waves upon tho houses in Nazareth street, while its roar from tho rear betokened its intensity on the east side of the street. SPREAD OF THR FLAMES, ‘The heat was blistering and charred the woodwork of the houses from which jamilios who had for a white hoped tiat the fire would be confined to narrow limits were now hastily removing their furniture, while further along the flames wero seen to be taking bold of Messrs E. J, Maxwell & Co.’s plauing mills, and Mr. Charics splin’s large lumber yard was also taking fire, An immense cloud of smoke, spangled with sparks and tirebrands, floated off to the south- ward, while the angry glow of the conflagration hud awakened half the city, and in cubs and on foot hun- dreds of citizens came upon the scene to become spec- tators or active purticipators in tho work of saving property. About a quarter to two it was adinitied by all that tho fire was getting ,the ad- vantage 0: the brigade. As the flames approached Ksplin’s large lumbor yard, on the corner of Nazareth and Uttawa stroets, desperate efforts were made to keop 9 at bay and to prevent them from getting a hold tm the buge plies, containing 3,000,000 feet of lumber, compactly stored there. The mon latd pow- erful streams upon the fire as it commenced to take in the lumber, and for about ten minutes succeeded in checking its progress, and there wero hopes of saving this valuable property, However, in but a short ume it was seen that such hopes wero vain, and that not only this immense plle of Jumber, but also Muxwell’s saw and plaving milla, on the opposite side of Nu: roth street, which had in the meantime been over- taken by the flames biown in that direction by the wind, wore doomed to complete destruc- ion. About this timo (halt-past two) a fresh breeze arose, fanning the flaines intoa terrible fury, aud within afew minutes endangoring the property on the south side of Ottawa street, consisting of blocks of two story brick houses of akind easily combustible. With a Jurid glare the red flames shot up high in the air, overreaching the bousos in Duke street adjoining Maxwell’s mills, while balls of cinders of large size wero carried by the wind on the houses on the cast side of the same street. A CHANGE OF WIND, About this time, however, danger loomed up in an- other quarter. The wind having changed its direction caused the flames to extend in an alarming manner fire was pile und Dalhousio streets, Tho fully in the lumber block opposite, and was already spreading in the direction of Dalhousie street, having taken hold of a two story block of houses in Trudeau's yard and asmall wooden building on Ottawa street, | both adjoining the lumber yard, while on the south side of Ottawa etroct Handley’s cooper shop, a dry, wooden structure, was also in flamoy, The firemen now worked moat heroteally and with their might and main to keep the fire within its present Hots, and the St. Heary’s brigade at this period rendered ip+ valuable aid, their excelient sterm engine, stavioned at the corner of Wellington and Nazareth streets, throw. ing two powerlul streums, Very fortunately, the wind subsided, and there was goon a prospeot of the forces attacking 1t being able to vanquish the destruc. tive demon, At about a quarter to four o’clock the fire bad been got under control, though it was still burning in Mr. Trudeau’s block of tenement houses in a@ yard off yet and adjoiming the lumber yard ables in rear of bis grocery, both of royed, the firemen’s | ing the flames con. continued to burn foar- Bow’s raging in eftorts being uow tiued to thein, The fire, howe: boro until after tive o'clock. LOSS BY REMOVAL. ‘The usual lameatudle destruction and loss of pro- perty caused by careless aud hasty removal was wil- essed on a large scale, If is sate to tay that im Dalnousie, Nazareth, Duke, Ottawa and even in Wil- liam street, over 100 families were at one tine busily cogaged in pitching aud carrying their household effects into In Navareth —strect, where the was most imminent, some poor people living in upper tenements became pane stricken and itched down their property upon those below, regard- jess alike of breakages aud of the chances that suine | of the young street rangers night disappour with the | most Valuable articles in the Wrong direction. From | one door a balt-dressed mother would be scen emerg- ing with her crying babe in her arms avd another irightened ebild clinging to her dress, A father would | rusk oat shortly alter with some piece of furniture, and after depositing it in tho street go back after more. Some people, more prudent, carried their stufl Into friends’ houses, This, however, in several instances in Nazaroth street only caused doable trouble, for as the fire progressed the friends themseves were only too glad to vacate, and a combmed pilgrimage had to be eflected to a more secure spot. The loss to many poor people through breakage and disappearance of articles | js very heavy, and they can ill ulfurd to bear tt these hard iimes, A number of carters resided in the doomed houses, and they utilized their tracks and horses to load up their own and their neighvors’ effects, and at onco draw them away (rom ull danger. ‘A punber of prominent citizens were present, among them Sir Alexander I, Galt, Hon, Peter Mitchell, Mr. Frederick McKenzie, Mr. J. Stewart, Mr. M. H. Gauit, Mr. Thomas Davidson, Mr. F. B. McNamee, Mr. Sache and Mr. R. Dalgleish, and they rendered every avsist- ance possible. STATEMENT OF A SUFFERER.

Her cargo was valued at three-quarters of a miilion dollars, co! be ing ol silks, velvets, laces, &c. On Wednesday morne ing, May 16, the day was bright and the atmosphere was clear, At eigntoen minutes past nine o'clock a peculiar, indescribable tremor was felt, tho ship hav- ing track against au coknown danger, cutting inte the hull the length of sixty (ect, causing the water to rush iu with feartui velocity. Che ship was then six miles southwest from ‘artur Shoals and thirteen miles from the shore, the Captain having known by observation her position at eight o'clock, AN UNMARKED S1OAle ‘The danger upon which sbe struck is noton any | chart, but a document, sworn to before the United States Consul at Acupulco by one Perer, and wituessod | by William Lund, of the gunboat Mexico, deposes that said Verer is porfectly acquainted with the rocks ex- tending from Point Maldonadocia in a southe¥est direc: tion, and the ebarp pointer, covered with Mar or five fathoms of water, extending 1 a nearly straight line southwest toa distance o: tweive or fourtcen miles from land, and that he fished for turtles there tree quently. A RACE FOR LIFE, The sip was at once turned toward the shore, grad. ually sinking. She had a full head of steam on when she grounded on ¢! jandbank at twenty minutes past ten A. M. Fortuuately, three compartments were still water tight ‘'pe Captain and his officers were cool, aud preserved discipline on board. Assoon as the ship struck orders were given to get the boats ready und put life preservers on, tho danger ot sinking was most imminent, Soandings between the reef and sandbank showed 5}, 73, 20, 22 fathoms, and no bottom. EXCELLENT DIACIPLIN During the fearful interval; though the ship was evi- dently sinking, not acry was heard from the passen- gers, and there was little contusion, although among the 137 passengers twenty ware smali children, and many were young men never before at sea, ‘The boats were filled and started for tho shore, the passengers not boing allowed to take any baggage. The boats wero all overturned in the surf, und tho sceac was one never to be forgotten. Kind Provi- dence preserved every lite, aud goon ail were safo on the Mexican shore, Fortunately a gireain of fresh water was found botween tho Mountains, where, with the stars tora covering and roots and branches of trees for mattresses, all slept. The Captain at once sent one of the cfficors to Aca. pulco, eighty miles distant, but, forvunately, the boat fell in with the gunboat Moxico, Captain Lolor com- manding, and although under orders to get provisions for a besloged city, the inhabitants of which were starving, the Captain at once steamed off to the relief of tho shipwrecked passongers, They were all takon off safely, crowding the deck of the gunboat, and the next day they were transferred to the Pacific Mail eteumer Costa Rica, Captain Whiteborry, PRACTICAL BENEVOLENCE, The commanding officers and crews of the United States ships Lackawanna and Pensacola aeied most bobly, supplying the passengers with clothing from their private wardrobes. The United States ships took up subscriptions to a large amount for dis! ation. ainong the women and children who we uirely. destitute, Captain Waddell and bts officers behaved splendidly, thoir conduct being brave, humano and unselfish, SIT A NeW REE? Captain Waddoll says soven um pumps, of 160 barrels of water per minute cupacity, were absolu useless. The whole bottom 1s out of the steamer, o Captain says ho ran the steamur repeatedly over the £aine spot Hefore, and can anly conjecture that the late earthquake, which was made maniicat on the coast by tho tidus wave, might huve upbeaved a submarine rock. Tho ship was under way snd was going at the rate of eleven knots au bour when she struck. The Captain was on the bridge an hour before the steamer struck, and timed everything by bis wate, RUNNING FOR SHORE, Twenty minutes alter sie struck the firea were ont, In that twenty minutes she was runuing in shore ua. dor a full head of stexm, Sho ran on for torty-twe minutes, making a distance of Dine or ten miles, and then grounded im thirty feet of water on a sand bot- tom, Next morning about a foot of the stern waa seen out of water.
