The Derby On Wednesday the Derby was won, in pleasant
weather and on ground in excellent condition, by the Aga Khan's Blenheim. This horse was the owner's second string, and the odds against him were 18 to 1. Mr. Tattersall's Iliad (25 to 1) was second, and the favourite, Sir Hugo first's Diolite (11 to 4), was third. Mr. Lloyd George saw the Derby for the first time, and signalized the event by recording his impressions in the News Chronicle—the new name of the Daily News, which has just absorbed Mr. Lloyd George's old organ, the Daily Chronicle. Mr, Lloyd George was filled with wonder, but on the whole he thinks football more exciting than horse-racing. * *
