the Putnam house, and at last accounts
was not dead and is so far, presumably,
a very good Indian. Fully ninety per

the country are peaceably disposed. 1t

York, and was worth, to the first horse
under the wire, $50, 900. The Suburban
follows it on June 1G, and should be of
greater value. The Futurity stakes.
for two year olds, is run later; so is the
Metropolitan handicap at Morris Park.
Both carry a 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 on 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 well
known as the Derby and of equal
value and interest We are pushing,
comhative and gaming people. The
majority bet with us, while English
limitations turn over to the few the
prize and price of good guess of the
winner.
The st. Leger run at Doncaster is the
oldest of all the great stakes, and a
most interesting affair. TWAS founded
in 1776, almost at the moment when the
colonies, which are now the United
States, framed their Declaration of In
dependence and started into war. Three
years later, in 1870, "the Oaks was
first run at Ascot and has been there
yearly since. The one thousand gum
cas- and the two Thousand guineas at
Newmarket were not established until
1909 and 1910.
The Derby was first run in 1880, one
year later than the Oaks and four years
later than the st. Leger. For some rea-
son 1t became the popular event from
the start and has continued so ever
since. 1t is only eighteen miles from
London to EPSON Downs, while it is
four times that distance to almost any
other prominent race track in England
with the single exception of Ascot
Heath and Sandown. Its close proxim-
ity to London, the cheap fares and the
easy access have very much to do with
bringing four or five hundred thousand
people to Epson every year to enjoy a
days outing and see the winner of the
Derby. Newmarket, Doncaster, Good
wood and the other big places are sixty
miles away, and it costs twenty dollars
to enjoy days outing at any of these
places-that is, if you want to see the
races comfortably. The thousands &C
free to all these courses, but the hun.
dreds pay the big price. Railroad fare,
the drive across the country of five
miles and the two dollars and a half en-
trance fee make the sport expensive to
those who are able to pay and cheap tc
the common herd, who are willing t.
travel cheap.
This much of history and statement

play greater or less part in the neces-
stiles of our turf, and like old Diomed,
impress their powers and individuality
upon most of our thoroughbreds.
This year promises to be one of the
most eventful in the history of the Eng
lish turf. The entries for all the big
stakes are very large and of fine mate
rial AS usual for the past five years,
the duke of Portland seems best
equipped in good horses to win great
deal of money. His phenomenal sue
cess has made people look upon him as
the luckiest man on the turf. This
may be true, but besides luck he has
owned the finest Of stock, and handled
it to perfection. Year before last he
won in stakes and purses nearly $780,
900, last year over 100000, and al
most ever since he has been on the
turf he has headed the list of winning
owners. These may seem large figures
to American owners, but our folks will
get to them in good time.

Within a very few days we will have
in the papers of the United States long
and brilliant accounts of the contest of
the half million people of all ages and
conditions who will 60 to EPSON Downs
on the 27th of May to see the most pop
ular horse race in the world. Almost
as many people go to see the wonderful
assemblage as go 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
act it rarely ever falls on the same day.
/ remember that old Hermit won it in
1867 in a snowstorm; while it is frequent
ly run in June. This was one of the
most sensational finishes that ever oc,
CURED on the turf. Hermit was not con-
sidered in the race until the last few
strides, when he came in with rush
and beat Orlando out by a neck. The
Marquis of Hastings is said to have lost
5000, 900 on the defeat of his entry. The
crowd was wild with excitement 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
thirty years of age as he did at fifteen.
For several years after he retired to the
stud he headed the list of winning
sires, and wherever a good race horse is
found in the United Kingdom you are
apt to find more or less of old Hermit's
blood. He still belongs to Mr.. Chaplin,
the minister of agriculture, who gives
the very best of care to the old veteran
in his declining days.
1t is one hundred and eleven years
this month since the first Derby was
run. wonder how many people in our
country, even those who feel an inter
est 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.

"IIard on the Chairs"

Among the ancestors of Wendell Phil
lips were several Puritan clergymen.
Perhaps it was push of heredity
which made him at five years of age a
preacher.
His congregation was composed of
circles of chairs arranged in his fathers
parlor. while taller chair. with Bible
on it, served him for a pulpit. He would
harrangue these wooden auditors by
the hour.

A Solemn Moment.

After the bridal party partool of a
sumptuous banquet, younger brother
of the bride got up, and said, solemnly,
raising his glass:
Ladies' and gentlemen, have to pro-
pose a toast, which, however, must be
drunk standing. Please take your
glasses and rise up"
The guests, although somewhat be-
wildered, did so.

''if you will remain standing for few
minutes I'll find out who has been sit
ting on my new stove-pipe hat"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-05-23

only introduces the broader elemenrs Of
this subject. The Brooklyn suburban
and Metropolitan handicap are but In
fants yet in the racing world and the
Futurity stakes carrying last year
over seventy-five thousand dollars to
Potomac are just starting as counter
parts of the great stakes Of which I
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 coun
try and in England is to make up big
pot of money for certain races. Perhaps
the minor events may suffer from this
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-05-23

penchant, but these attractive purses
tend to inspire men to great care and
expenditure in the development of horse
flesh. That is what they are given for.
One of the leading turfmen of England
said to me the other day, but for such
stakes as the st. Leger, the Derby, the
Oak, the Goodwood cup, etc, their
thoroughbreds would lack the speed
nd endurance which these events make
necessary.
All this review recalls some interest
ing facts.
When / look back upon what has
TRANSFERRED during the century in the
history of the Derby, 1 wonder how
many Americans know how much it
as impressed itself upon sports of
the same character in the United States.
Every turfman knows the story Of
American Eclipse, Boston, Lexington,
Sir Archy and others that have made
our best turf history. But wonder how
many know that the first winner of the
Derby founded the race of American
thoroughbreds after he was twenty
two years old. All the great animals I
have named carried his blood in their
veins, and in fact wherever it is found
there is good race horse
Diomed captured the first Derby In
1850, and three years later was retired
from the track and went into the stud
He was a very successful sire, and In
179S when twenty-five years old was
sold for $3.50. He was brought to this
country in sailing vessel and sired the
Godolphin Arabian, who got more great
race horses of endurance than any ami
NAL that has ever lived. Diomed died
in Virginia 1908, when he was thirty
one years of age, and produced
colts almost up to the time of his death.
This magnificent chestnut stallion left
behind him a history of achievements
both on the turf and in the stud that has
never been equalled by another horse
since the breeding of thoroughbreds has
been known. Sir Archy sprang from
his loins in 1905, when Diomed was
twenty-eight years of age and Sir Archy
transmitted all the best powers of his
sire to nearly all of the great race
horses whose history is romance OF
speed and endurance, like Boston,
Eclipse, Lexington, etc. In those days
endurance was the great consideration.
and how well Diomed and the thorough
breds who carried his blood is seen in
Boston, who Won thirty four-mile heat
races and nine three mile. Lexington,
Eclipse and others demonstrated his
wonderful powers, not only on the turf,
but in the stud. THE Godolphin Ara
bian of America" was the pet name
given to Sir AEchy because his get was
almost certain to be successful on the
turf
Ormonde is the sensational feature
of the past two years, and when the
duke of Westminster sold him to South
American syndicate for forty thousand
dollars, English turfmen bought him
back, that so valuable an animal might
not be lost to their breeding inter
ests. St. Simon, belonging to the duke
of Portland, is another great animal
so is Barcoldine, the property of Lady
Stamford. St. Gatian, who ran the
dead heat with Harvester, and the sec
ond one ever run in the history of the
Derby, belongs to Mr.. Chaplin, whc
owns Old Hermit. ALI these animals
