THE TURF'S FATHERS.
Great Events in England, and
the Horses That Won.
BEST STAKES IN THE WORLD.
Diomed, From Whom the American
Racer Il Descended - Prospects
for the Present Season.

Within few days we will have in the
papers of the United States long and bril-
liant accounts of the contest of the 500, 600
people of all ages and conditions who will
go. to EPSON Downs on the 9th of May to
see the most popular horse race in the
world. Almost as many people go to see
the wonderful assemblage as 60 to enjoy
the contest of speed and endurance which
takes place here every year between the
finest thoroughbreds under the sun. The
date of the meeting shifts considerably.
In fact it rarely ever falls on the same day.
remember that old Hermit won it in 1867
in snowstorm; while it is frequently run
in June. This was one of the most sensa-
tional finishes that ever occurred on the
turf. Hermit was not considered in the
race until the last few strides, when he
came in with rush and beat Orlando out
by neck. The Marquis of Hastings is
said to have lost 100000 on the defeat of
his entry. The crowd was wild with ex-
citement at the performance, and it is still
the talk of England in racing circles. The
old horse is still alive and looks as slick at
so years of age as he did at 10. For several
years after he retired to the stud he
headed the list of winning sires. and
wherever good race horse is found in the
United Kingdom you are apt to find more
or less of old Hermit's blood. He still be-
longs to Mr.. Chaplin, the minister of agri-
culture, who gives the very best of care to
the old veteran in his declining days.
1t is Ill years this month since the first
Derby was run. / wonder how many peo-

the winner of the Derby. Newmarket,
Doncaster, Goodwood and the other big
places are sixty miles away, and it costs
$40 TO enjoy days outing at any one of
these places; that is, if you want chance
TO see the races comfortably. The thou
sands go free to all these courses, but the
hundreds pay the big price. Railroad fare,
the drive across the country of five miles,
and the $3.50 entrance fee, makes the sport
expensive to those who are able TO pay
and cheap to the common herd, who are
willing to travel cheap.
This much of history and statement
only introduces the broader elements of
this subject. The Brooklyn Suburban and
Metropolitan Handicap are but infants
yet in the racing world, and the Futurity
stakes carrying last year over $4,000 to
Potomac are just starting as counterparts
of the great stakes of which have spoken.
When they have been run few years they
will be as rich as the Derby, if not richer.
The tendency of the times, both in this
country and England, is to make up big
pot of money for certain races. Perhaps
the minor events may suffer from this pen
chant; but these attractive purses tend to
inspire men to great care and expenditure

pie in our country, even those who feel an
interest in racing. either for pleasure or
for money, know what this popular event
in England means, or has meant to the
sporting interests of the United States.
The Brooklyn handicap was the first of
the big prizes of this year in New York,
and was worth, to the first horse under the
wire, $4,000. The Suburban follows it on
June IS, and should be of greater value.
The Futurity stakes, for 2-year-olds, is run
later; so is the Metropolitan handicap at
Morris park. Both carry heap of money
Seven Suburbans, five Brooklyns, three
Futurity and one Metropolitan have passed
into history. AS things go with us, they
have all been rich stakes of as much value
even as similar events carried or the other
side of the water when first founded. We,
of course, have had to learn the practical
and systematic turf conditions, which we
have established so perfectly and so soon.
from the mother country. Fifty years
from now the Suburban and our other big
handicaps will be as we'll known as the
Derby and of equal value and interest. We
are pushing, combative and gaming peo-
pie. The majority bet with us, while Eng
lish limitations turn over to the few the

There are several great racing events in
England each year, and money beyond
anything we know of in the New World of
sport is put up on them all. While the
Derby is the best known and richest stake,
it is by no means the most important
movement among race horses. Frequently
100000 people have assembled to witness
it, and the money consideration to the
winner, outside of all betting, has reached
as high as the neat sum of $500 Sew
eral times 1t has gone to 500 600, and it is
fair to say it is usually the richest stake in
the world. OF course the amount varies
each year according to the number of
entries, forfeits, starters, etc, just as it
does in our land. The crowd which as
sembles to witness it, and the sentiment
which attaches to it endow it with popu-
larity which belongs to no other gathering
of the turf. There are far more interesting
meeting during the season, think, than
on EPSON Downs; but III some senses they
are for the few, while the Derby is for the
many The st. Leger run at Doncaster is
the oldest of all the great stakes and a
most interesting affair. 1t was founded
in l776, almost at the same moment when

the colonies, which are now the United
States, f AIMED their Declaration of indie
pendence and started into war. Three
years later, 1779, ''the Oaks" was first run
at Ascot and has been there yearly since.
The | 900 guineas and the 1000 guineas at
Newmarket were not established until 1903
and 1870
The Derby was first run in 17s0. one year
later than the Oaks and four years later
than the St. Leger. For some reason it
became the popular event from the start,
and has continued so ever since. 1t Is

In my opinion there isn't any question

Interest viii increase as the buildings be-

scope Of The exposition is developed by

From my intimate knowledge of the
forthcoming exposition, and my expert
ence at the Paris exposition OF 1850, which
mp to that time was the most successful
one that the world had ever witnessed,
convinces me that this exposition will ex-
Gel il in every particular.
First of all, the main buildings of the
exposition will be larger. The aggregate
frontage will he placed in line nearly two
miles; there will not DE less than 200
buildings on the ground, and then a won

basins. which mingle and pass through
and around all of the main buildings on
the ground, giving waterway of nearly
six miles, on which will be placed thous-
ands of boats. showing the popularity of
all the nations of the globe, such as gon-
dolas, Indian canoes, whale boats, life
boats, all of which will be manned by
men, who, for consideration, will carry
visitors by water from one building TO
another.
Second-Financially the exposition
starts out with cash on hand of 40 per

CHARLEY LAUGHTON's FIDDLE

Mid the silken, perfumed elegance
Within stately house,
I've heard its rich tones ringing !
Thro' the wilderings of strauss,
And I've heard the sigh of gentle ones,
Who listened while il bore
To charmed hearts the sweetness
OF the touching "Trovatore."
I've heard it in the evening.
In peaceful, quiet home.
Sing "Suwanee River, till the bees
Came, humming round the comb;
With the phases of the wassail
And the Joy of festal cheer;
I've heard il change IRON gay to grave,
From lively 70 severe.
In tender tones of pleading;
In signs OF spent delight;
In greetings of the morning,
And in good-byes to the night;
In storms upon the ocean,
And in the songs of birds,
I've heard its voice, like living thing,
In sweetest human words
I've heard il give, stentorian,
Command in battles blare,
And heard it whisper, soft and low,
Like angels in the air;
'Mong brawny men, in mining camps
I've seen il hush q brawl,
Till clenched hands are open palms,
That in each other fall
I've seen Ii gather little ones,
About the players knee,
As did the babes OF olden time
Round Him of Gali4ee.

Till all the world was kin,
While lovingly its master played

WOMAN,S GREATEST DANGER

The great element of danger with
woman's progress before the public
lies in this fact: that it takes women
away from home who ought to be
there and nowhere else. The public
platform is no place for mother who
has either sons or daughters to edu-
cate. If womon's progress is going to
tend in that direction, then the sooner
that advancement stops the better.
The first thought of wife or a mother
should be her home: all things, nc
matter how important, are secondary
to that. No matter how rampant
may become certain public evils, let
her see to it that she keeps the evils
out of her home, and she performs he,
greatest duty to her God, her family
and mankind, -Etlward w. Box, in
The Ladies' Home Journal.
