Of the scene when big fields of great horses
come down the long Wild track where fifty
ANIMALS can race side BY side each having
plenty of room without crowding and dan
gers that constantly cling to Q round track,
such as we have at home.
The Judging here as we'll as the starting
is much the same as with Us. The man
who drops the flag, as we'll as the judge
who decides the race, is well paid. and their
duties are less e~xacting than on on cur big
tracks. The bookmakers on an English
race course are a study. They lay odds
such as we never heard Of. For instance.
on the Czarwitch, I saw Nj. Frye, n Of
the largest "~bookies" in the kingdom. lay
$4,000 against $1,000 and win it. Fifty
thousand dollars is frequently bet between
two men and / have heard of 100000 being
wagered several times. There are plenty of
romances about much larger sums being
put up, and it may be possible that in
some instances as high as 100000
have been wagered by two men on a
single race;.but these are EXCEPTIONAL cases
ing this subject from my standpoint; ex-
cept as instances of the nerve which comes
of desperation. 1t seems queerto Americans
to watch these people bet. The boolmnkers
do business by word of mouth and you
rarely see among reliable Boobies any
small bets whore the money goes into the
box: but with these people there is very
little guarantee of return if a game goes
against the dealer. / thought as ! saw
thousands upon thousands of dollars wa
gered without, a penny passing how long q
bookmaker could do business in our coun-
try if he took no greater precautions than
they seem to here. Yet, a mans position
who fails to pay his gambling debts is any
thing but desirable. At Tattersall's, in
London, every bookmaker settles his losses,
or collects his winnings, every Monday
morning. If be fails to pay he cannot do
business another day; if the gentleman who
bets with him does not square his losses at
the same time his credit is gone, and he is
barred from association with gentlemen.
Newmarket taught me many interesting
lessons as to the relations of the sporting
life of this country. l had seen the thou
sands who annually gather at the Good
wood, the undulatlng course belonging to
the duke of Richmond, the crowds at Don
caster, who look at the st. Leger, and the
thousands upon thousands at Ascot to watch
the Derby. But the lessons along the
stretch and about the training grounds at
Newmarket were different than at any of
the others, and far more Important an d
useful. They illustrate how easy it is in a
land like this to establish rules and regula-
tions that govern racing everywhere, and
how difficult it will be in the United States
for a central combination in New York ci ty
to handle the sports of the new world. Here
there are no jealousies Of locality, with US
there are many. FRANK A.. BURR.

knew the diRniied character OF this noted

nary countryside fair grounds, were 1t not
for the wonderful view and the evil
dences OF 4 mighty civilization under HIS
eye. Pleasant and interesting as this, aud
most Of these places are, there IL no course
in the United KINGDOM where 90 much
money il spent for the luxury OF the few
and tho comfort OF the masses as in the
United States, nor no place where good
racing can be seen SO cheaply aS IN our land.
The romance u the power OF racing
~centers about Newmarket, for all q IT IN
place. Here the rich and powerful stew-
ards Of the jockey club have their head
quarters, and their edict ia the law every
where. 1t is the one point from which de-
cisiens are made and given out. A Jockey.
owner or bookmaker suspended anywhere
in the kingdom has his appeal to this CEN
trail authority, composed entirely OF men
whose character IL Of the highest, u
whose integrity cannot be impeached.
| While a single course may be controlled In
the United States by gamblers queer
people, because there is no higher authority
than that which is exercised for the hour,
here is review and supervision by those
whose word is accepted as law by every one
without question. Every year we are imi.
tating more and more English customs and
the National Jockey club just organized IN
New York, composed of the leading tracks
about Gotham, indicates how we'll the
powers and purposes of Newmarket have
impressed themselves on the sporting ele-
ment of America.

body lies within sight of the grand stand at
Newmarket. HE was out of his mind when
his attendant left him, and a revolver by
his side furnished him an easy means of
putting himself out of misery over the loss
of his wife, and the sad physical conditions
which at the moment held possession of
him. He was the greatest master of a race
horse who ever put his foot in a stlrrup,
and his achievements on the turf will never
be equallcd by any rider within our time.
He was a man of remarkable Judgment, fine
courage. a master judge of pace, and over
all. above reproach in his professional life.
That is the meaning of this demonstration
to-day as these folks flock around his grave
to do a simple reverence to his memory 1t
may seem strange to you that a man in his
position should be SO well regarded; but
you must bear in mind that our people have
q very different view of the sports of tho
field, whether on the race course, or at the
hunt, than most citizens of other countries,
and especially of your own"
The scene az | saw it at the momen that
this incident and talk of a busy and inter
esting life and tragic death took place was
novel, spirited and away out of the usual
order. There was much to excite wonder
in one who lives In our land, and is apt to
look npon out of door sports as belonging
only to those in the humble or what some
of the lalty are pleased to call in our coun-
try the questionable walks of life. But
here all the relations are changed. Among
all the swagger clements of society, and at
some of the swell race meetings of the
world, men and women of the highest rank
know all about Fred Archer, and not only
speak of him in words of the highest eulo-
gy, but stand by his grave in sadness and
recall the story of his life with a new inter-
est.

turn every year during the running meet

On the green turfted course which ranges
away four miles beyond the last resting
place of.the greatest jockey who ever wore
the.pigskin there have been many romances
of life and death. No one who has not
seen the demonstrations at Newmarket sew
eral times every year can imagine
what a 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 a
man who was honest in all his endeavors.
and died at the very summit Of his fame as
a rider of race horses. One singular thing
that strikes an American is that there Is far
more than curiosity in these p~llgrlmages to
A.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 p~enchants
of the English people for sports than these
tributes paid to the memory of this re-
markable man who captured their conf
dence, won their regard and practically
their love by being faithful and courage
GUS above any man of his profession who
has ever lived.
There is much that is f fitting in the place
of his burial as we'll as in the respect paid
to his memory. He began active life on
this course, and with the stee DIS that range
over its hills. In death, as in life, the best
