Why Martini-Henri Did Not Start for tho A.J.C. Derby.

The cause of Martini-Henri's withdrawal from tho A.J.C. Derby is thus explained by the "Sydney Morning Herald" :•—Shortly before one o'clock on the morning of the race, it began to be rumoured about the paddook that something had gone amiss with Martini-Henri, and a little later on the pen was drawn through his name. The colt had ruled as first favourite since the accident to Warwick, and his withdrawal was a second severe blow to the public, though it could not be said to have caused much surprise ; for a determined demon stration set in against him on the previous evening, and several bookmakers never tired writing his name. It appears that tho colt caught cold on tho Tuesday before tho race, nnd that on Saturday ho was suffering so acutely that it would have been cruelty to start him. The circumstance de prived the Derby of a great deal of interest, and is much to be regretted, and so is the fact that he was not .scratched sooner in the interest of the public. Late scratchings are, however, becoming fashionable, and backers of horses should now be getting used to being left out in tho cold.

The Great Metropolitan Stakes. Tho following is a full account of the runningforthcGreatMcti'opolitan Stakes: — At the fifth attempt the all important signal was given to an indifferent start, the colours of Tlie Gem and Willeroo being the first to show, and as soon as they settled into their places, Gloucester, with a mistaken view of serving his stable mate Segenhoe, dashed to the front, and led up the hill and past the Trainers' Stand by four lengths, followed by Norman, Phyllis, and Cunnamulla, who were clear of a close pack, i which was headed by Nicholas. Gloucester led Norman three lengths past the stand, Phyllis two lengths away next, and just in front of Nicholas and Cunnamulla, and the friends of tho last named were thus early put out of suspense, for his ears wore laid back, and Colley had to move upon him to keop him straight, Segenhoe and First , Demon weie next at tlie head of the others, and Willeroo, The Gem, and The Drummer ! were acting as whippers-in. After getting over the tan crossing Norman made a great effort to catch Gloucester, but the latter hold ing his own right gallantly, conducted them I along the back of the course with an advantage of four lengths, Norman next, a length in front of Segenhoe and Phyllis, after whom succeeded Nicholas, First Demon, and Cunnamulla, who was rapidly turning it up, despite the most resolute efforts of Colley. The severity of the pace told on Gloucester when the hill was topped, and as tiey raced past the trainers' stand, First Demon, Norman, and Segenhoe closed upon him, and after a gal lant effort to keep his place, the son of Sylvia was lost in tho crowd; and First Demon, full of running, appeared at the front, closely followed by Segen hoe, Phyllis, and Norman, but as tho three last-named were sejen to be in trouble, the victory of the favourite was loudly proclaimed, but when half-way round tho bend Aide-de-Camp and The Gem, who had been concealed in the ruck, began to forgo their way towards the front. First Demon swept into tho straight dear of his field ; but before the distance was reached TheGomand Aide-de-Camp, heading Phyllis, -Norman, and Segenhoe, dashed through tho troubled field, and a brilliant race ensued. At tho half-distance First Domon still had a slight advantage, but McGrade bringing The Gem with a beautifully-timed rush, got on even terms when 100 yards from home, nnd Nicholson had to call upon tho Hawkesbury winner. From that out the pair raced locked togethor to the post, and the son of Kelpie, getting up in the ' last two strides, beat First Demon by the shortest of heads on tho post, amidst the j wildest excitement. Aide-de-Camp, who finished from the home turn at a great pace, was third, a length and a half away, and then came" Nicholas, Norman, Sweet William, Cunnamulla, and Sardonyx, with j The Drummer tho last of the lot. Timo, 3 minutes 3GJ seconds.

The betting at tlie post waa 3 to 1 each v. First Demon and Cunnamulla, 7 to 1 v. Aide-de-Camp, 7 to 1 v. Sardonyx, 10 to 1 v. Sweet William, 12 to 1 each v. Segenhoe and The Gem, 15 to 20 to 1 v. any other. McGrade rode The Gem, Donald Nicholson First Demon, and Cracknell Aide-de-Camp.

A Big Commission.

A heavy commission was executed in favour of First Water for the Melbourne Cup, and £46,000 was booked about him at 100 to 5.

well considered the matter, he said it was a serious thing, and he did not bother much about it; he was going to chance it, and it was all luck. He had made propositions to the railway companies to have excur sioni, but they would not como to his terms. They thought he was going to commit suicide, and they would not encourage him. When asked if there was anything particular he wished to have said on his behalf, he replied that the only thing was that he was not going to make anything out of it, but lie wanted to show the people that he could do it. Speak ing of his weight, he said he was too fat. His proper weight was 1751b., but the extra, yesterday did not hamper him, as his wort was not like racing. Indeed, it helped him, because it enabled him to resist the cold! At half-past three o'clock AVebb started for the river, while Frank Kyle, his agent drove round in a hackney carnage to the whirlpool, where he expected to receive the captain after his swim, In the meantime botli banks of the river were lined with people, and even the suspension bridges were crowded. Descending the cliff to the river, Webb entered a boat in waiting, ana was rowed by the ferryman, John McCloy, to the centre. He was fully composed, and seemed quite confident of success. McCloy asked him how much he made by the Channel swim, and ho said 25,000 dollars. ' Have you spent all ?' was tho next ques tion. 'No,' answered Webb; 'I have 15,000 dollars left.' ' Then,' retorted the boatman, 'let me row ashore, and spend the rest of your money before you try this swim.' Tho captain laughed, but did not answer, AVhen the boat had arrived at a point opposite the Maid of tho Mist landing, ' the captain stripped, retaining only a pair of red swimming drawers of the smafiess size. The greatest excitement now pre : vailed amongst the spectators. At two ' minutes past four o'clock Webb dived from tho boat, and, amidst the shouts and applause of the crowd, struck the water He swam leisurely down tho river, but mado good progress. The rapids were first reached at the site of the New Canada Southern Bridge, iho river here being about 500 feet wide. A short distance further it narrows to about 300 feet, Webb passed along the rapids at'a great rate, and six minutes after making the first plunge passed under the Suspension Bridge. At this point his speed was consdieraDlv inj creased, and the rushing waters carried him up and down like the motion of a swing, Immediately below tho bridge the river be.. comes exceedingly violent, and as the under streams formed by the Horseshoe Falls rise to the surface a terrible effect is producod. As the water was clear, every movement of Webb could be seen. At one moment he was lifted high on the crest of a wave, and tho next he sank into the awful hollow created. He was apparently still swim ming with ease and confidence. About a quarter of a milo below the Suspension Bridge the river becomes quite narrow and impetuous. The rush of waters causes a current to set from one side to the other alternately. It is impossible to adequately describe the fury'of the river at this point and thenco to tho whirlpool. Sometimes Webb would bo struck by a wave, and for a few moments would sink out of sight. He, however, rose to tho surface without apparent effort, and the spectators in variably drew a breath of relief. Once he was drawn under by the current, and when he rose he was 150 yards from the spot where lie sank. His speed momen tarily increased, and he was whirled along at a frightful pace. At a quarter of a mile from the whirlpool there is a sudden bend in the river, and here the waves strike the American shore with terrific force, and ft perfect hell of waters is created. It is at this point that the attractive power of the whirlpool is first felt, and here the greatest danger to Webb existed. Reaching this spot, he sank, and a cry of despair went up from the spectators. He emerged again in comparatively smooth water, and at lasi was seen to approach the sublimely terrifio whirlpool. This spreads out in an almost circular direction, by a broad sweep to tbe west, round to tho north, and back to wards the south by oast. The river enters at the south end with frightful speed. Webb swopt into tho neck of the whirlpool. Rising on the crest of the highest wave, his face towards tho Cana dian shore, he lifted his hands once, and then was precipitated into the yawning gulf. For one moment his head appeared above the angry waters, but he was motion less, and apparently at the mercy of the furious eddies. He paused, as if to decide on what course to take, but the current decided for 'him. He was again drawn under the water, and was seen no more. From the Suspension Bridge to tbo en trance of the whirlpool is one mile and a quarter, and only five minutes were occu pied in the journey. At the whirlpool Captain Webb was seen by seven persons. At six in the afternoon there were still no tidings of him. Just before starting from the hotel he was asked, ' Have you been over the ground V ' Yes,' he replied, ' I went down and looked over it on July I.' ' When do you think your difficulties wiU commence ?' ' Don't know. You just know as much about It as I do. There's no place in the world like it.' 'Trusting to fortune in the water, what plan do you mean to pur sue?' 'I shall exert myself as little as possible, and save my strength for an effort to get above the water if I get taken under.' ' Do you expect to go under much ?' ' Yes, I must go under a great deal, and the question is, can I keep con scious till I get on the surface.' 'How long can you remain under water?' 'I have never made this a point for practice, but I can stop under the water close on two minutes.' ' Where is the point of danger?' In my opinion at the entrance into the whirlpool.' ' Does your wife know of your intentions ?' ' She does, but is not aware of the real danger attending it.' 'Are you receiving anything at all Dy way of re muneration ? ' Nothing at all. The New York Central Railroad would not come to an agreement, as they did not think thai I would attempt it. I said I would, and am doing It because no other man has ever made the attempt. I am determined my reputation shaU not suffer.'" The New York correspondent of tho " Sportsman " telegraphs:—"Captain Webb attempted his perilous feat of swimming the Niagara Rapids at four o'clock yester day (Tuesday) afternoon. Thousands ol people had assembled in the vicinity of Prospect House Hotel and the Falls, and he was loudly cheered as he put off in a small boat. He wore a pair of silk trunks, but was otherwise naked. He seemed very confident of success. Webb embarked from the Canada side, and the boatmen rowed him down as far as the water remained safe. About three hundred yards above the Suspension Bridge the boatman stopped, and the swimmer prepared immediately for his exploit. Stand itg upon the bow of the boat, he i took a header into the water, and rising quickly, swam leisurely downwards. On reaching the commencement of the rapids, the force of the witer seemed to catch him by surprise. He was turned over on his" back, and for a moment or so was apparently greatly confused. Then he dived beneath the surface, now and again reappearing to take breath. He was distinctly seen by the onlookers several times. He appeared to be swimming with much strength, and he dodged tho rocks very cleverly. Just before ho entered the whirlpool ho once more rose to the surface, and seemed strong and vigorous. Then he plunged beneath tho waters, and was not seen for some time. At length some say they saw him fiorcely struggling, but unable to hold his own. He remained visible for a few seconds, frantically beating the waves, and then, throwing up his arms, disappeared from sight. Hundreds of spectators watched for hours, but no sign of the unlucky swimmer was discernible, and then the conclusion was unanimously, though reluctantly, arrived at that he was dead. A strong feeling of sorrow and hor ror prevailed."
