most interesting and most Important
race course in the world. The little
Gods acre" in which the earthly re-
mains of this famous man repose Is the
shrine toward which thousands OF feet
turn every year during the running
meetings which take place within
sight of il. On the greea turfed course
which ranges away four miles be-
yond the last resting place OF the
greatest Jockey who ever wore the pig
skin there have been many romanceS OF
life and death. No one who has not
seen the demonstrations at Newmarket
several times every year can imagine
what place this singular wizard of the
turf occupied in public esteem. There
is something more than touching in
watching the high and the low and the
rich and the POOR turning from the road
to pay a mark of respect TO man who
was honest in all his endeavors, and
died at the very summit OF his fame
as a rider of race horses. One singu-
lar thing that strikes an Ameri-
can is that there is far more than
curiosity in those pilgrimage's to Ar
cher's grave. Men reverently take their
hats off before the simple tombstone
that records the date of his birth and
death, and women bring flowers without
stint to lay upon the unpretentious tomb.
Perhaps there is no greater reflex OF the
pendants of the English people for
sports than these tributes paid to the
memory of this remarkable man who
captured their confidence, won their re-
gard and practically their love by being
faithful and courageous above any man
of his profession who has ever lived.
There is much that is fitting in the
place OF his burial as well as in the re-
Spect paid to his memory. He began
active life on this course, and with the
steeds that range over it's hills. In
