often where tears should beset and deluge 1t in showers; but laugh they did, and comment on the marvellous grip with which the dog held the peddler, until e policeman broke through and by alter nateiy clubbing the pup and prying his teeth apart finally detached Bounce from the sidewalk merchant. Bounce was not pleased at the Interruption and came near taking bit of policeman as dessert. They were finally carried to police head quarters, where matters were adjusted by payment of damages of $2 to the peddler. The papers say that the actress bought Bounce to protect her against the atten- tions of Texas millionaire.
 The English Derby.
 The English Derby is the classic of the racing world. It is, compared with other famous turf events, as the spire of Strass- burg to steeples, as the perspective of Raphael to other painters. the frescoes, tapestries and mosaics of the Vatican to the embellishments of other buildings. It is truly classic. It is old-eomputing it's age by the century. It is essentially English, because, not only of it's origin and birth and existence, but because that incomparable English product, the thoroughbred race horse, has made 1t next to impossible for anything but one of their own number to accomplish victory
 
 turf history. Twenty years ago. after having exhausted enormous sums of money and years of labor. MT. Pierce Lorillard gained the first American vic- tory in this all but impossible field of ambition. Kings, queens, noblemen mill lionaires and statesmen are the bidders for the honors of winning the English Derby, and it can be readily understood how difficult MT. Lorillard's task was. However, his great colt. Iroquois, was trained by an English trainer and ridden in the race by an English jockey and he won the great race, and so great was the enthusiasm and pride of the American breeding contingent that bonflres were built and the heavens made resplendent with skyrockets in every part of the union. From that day to this annual ef- forts have been made to duplicate the grand performance of the deep-chested, brave-hearted Iroquois, but no American horse. has been able to get out of the ruck and make good running in the stretch un- til few days ago when the wires under the sea flashed the news to New York that Hon. w. c. Whitney's kingly colt, Volodyooski American bred and owned, in charge of an American trainer, and with little Lester Reiff, the elder of the Ohio brothers that have secured even the friendship of England's king, on his shin ing back, had galloped a mile at east and then finally flew through the stretch, making twenty-two of the best thorough breds in England look like selling platers and suckers. Volodyoosk is a great colt, almost incomparably great, but he will meet his master and conQueror on Ameri- can soil if he ever faces the starter with Commando in line, both good and fit. It is my opinion that the horse has not lived that could run head and head with Com mando at his distance Another Ameri- can horse, MT. Foxhall Keenes Olympia, was third in the race. He was ridden by Henry, an American boy. The English horse, William IT,, was second.
