the grratesl boast nf UiitUh sportsmen, died
on Monday, of inflammation of the lungs.
Blie was engaged tu tun in the Chester Cup,
and li'd l-een for some months a leading
?? favorite.' Blink liomi-'a achievements are
known to all poisons. l,a t year the won both
the Derby and the Oaks, a feat «lnn»t without
parallal in the history of the Turf ; indeed,
only on one former occasion hattnch a tiiu ' pli
been attained— viz., in 1801, when Eleanor
carried oil both the Derby and the Oaks. In
?Ukra alone, Blink Bunny Ust season von up
ward* of 10.000 guineas, while her owner, it
was repotted, netted double that amount in
bets. She was heavily engaged in fiitiuoin
ing races, and many enormously n'ch stakes
I seemed absolutely ceitain to have ftllen to her
had she lived aud retained her old 'form.'
Blink Bunny was by Melbourne, out of Quern
Mary, snd was bred by Mr. l'Anson in 185t.
She derived her name from a s|'l near to
where she was dialed, and the precise moaning
of her somewhat euphoniotn titln if ' p'etty
nrospocl.' Oreat sympathy is expressed for
Mr. I'Anson. not only lor the lo-s he has bus
tainrd.hut from a knowledgo that exists of ihe
f 4idnes», and almott affection with which be
regarded thu redoubtable architect of his for
tune. Since the couimcn oment of her brief,
(hough brilliant, racim; career, in 185S, no
leu a sum than £12 763 has been the reward
of her extraordinary prowess ? Edinburgh
