LONDON. May 3l.-This is Derby Day. the
Rrentost day In the yearly annals OF the British
sporting world. when every Londoner and
every resident OF the provinces who can possi-
bly, do so mnkes their way to Epson Downs to
see tho always exciting race for the Derby
Stakes.
The day dawned dull. with occasional sun
bursts. At times II was threatening. but on
the whole was fine. The usual immense
throng wns present at the course. and the
familiar scenes Of bustling. hustiinR. and
good-naturod crowds on the rond to tho Downs
were enacted as In years gone BIZ.
Last year the House OF Com m ons In it's zeal
to attend to the country's business decided to
sit as usual on Derby Day Whom the day
came. however. only thirteen members were
present at tho opening OF tho House. and na-
tional and all other legislation came to a
standstill. recess was taken.and at o'clock
in the afternoon nineteen members were In
attendance. Consequently. the sitting was
adjourned indefinitely by the Speaker. This
year the House followed the precedent estab-
lished last year. and voted to hold it's session
as usual to-day. The result was more encour-
aging than II was last year. and tho fear Of
advantage being taken by the Opposition side
to rush the discussion OF the Homo Rule bill
led most OF tho members OF each political
party TO foreg the pleasure OF q trip to EPSON.
and to devote their time to listening to
or taking part in the debate on the bill.
Some members. however. could not resist the
tenn ptation to witness the race. and. throwing
business aside. HE'D themselves to Epson.
