RINGER IN THE DERBY
Old Time Turf Scandal That Resulted
In a Lawsuit.

The history of the turee contains
many stories Of fraud, but none more
audacious and inpudent tnan that
associated with the Derby OF 1874,
which has been described as the nos1
sensational race on record-at least N
Ito Developments. The Derby OF that
year was won, as the records TELL
by ..Mr. a. Woods Running Rein, by
saddler, out Of Queen Nab, by Dma-
can Grey" ridden by Mann. Inc
same horse had won a two-yeaI-old
race at Newmarket in the previous
autumn, and it was then rumored tnat
he was a year older than was claimed,
and when he romped in first IN tne
Derby Col. Peel, whose horse Orlando
ran second, promptly. lodged an oo-
lection against the winner and oD-
tained an Injunction against the pay
ment of the stakes to Mr.. WOOD until
the dispute had been settled ID the
law courts. Messrs Weatherby ac-
cordingly paid the stakes into court
and left Mr. Wood and Col. Peel to
fight the matter out.
Col. PeeIs contention was that the
winner of the Derby was none otner
than Maccabbeus, a four-year-old
horse bred by Sir Charles Ibbetson,
and thus disqualified by age for the
Derby. So zealously and successfully
did he and Lord George Bentinck col
lect evidence that when the great ac-
ton Wood against Peel came up for
| hearing. before Baron Aldecsin at
Westminster they were n a position
to prove their case up to the hllt.
The case created much excitement.
The court was crowded to sufocatlon'
Hundreds were unable to gain admit
tance and feeling ran dangerously
high. After counsel had opened the
case for the plaintiff the judges very
sensibly suggested: Produce your
horse and let him be examined by ex-
perts. That is the best answer to the
whole question" and the case was ad.
| journed for the production of Run.
ming Rein on the following day.
When the next day came however,
plaintiffs counsel had to confess that
| the horse was nowhere to be found
it lad been spirited away. Where
upon Baron Anderson was furious.
This is horse stealing he ex-
claimed, "a case for the Central
Criminal Court; and if I try the par
ties and they are convicted I'll trans
port them for life. to a dead GER
tainty."
Under the circumstances Mr.. Wood
withdrew his action, stating that a
gross fraud had been practised on
him by his rascally trainer. A YER
dict was given for Col. Peel and Or
lando was declared a winner Of the
1874 Derby in place Of the fraudulent
Running Rein, exposed and decom-
posed.

Father Of Steam Engines.

The steam-engine goes back to
Hero, Of Alexandria, in the third cen
tury B. C. Branca; an Italian, in
1929, made an engine which blew
steam against vanes and thus made a
wheel spin. The first actual steam
engine was made by Captain Savey,
an Englishman, to whom, in $685. a
patent, was granted for a steam-en-
gine to raise water. In 1705 Thomas
Newcomer made a vacuum steam-en-
CINE. But the steam-engine of today,
which has wrought such a tremen-
dous evilution in industry and socie-
ty, was the invention of the English
man, James Watt, and the first patent
bears date of June-5, 1859.

Snake Furnished First Saw.

Talus, the Greek, is said to nave tn
vented the saw from having once
found the jawbone of a snake, which
he employed to cut through small
piece Of wood. In early periods the
trunks Of trees were split into boards
with wedges, and although these deals
were not always straight, they were
regarded as much better suited to
construction than sawn boards, be-
cause they followed the grain, and
lasted longer and were stronger.
Water mills, for the purpose of saw
ing, came into use in the fourth CEN
tury.

YVES much pleased with his sermon
last week.
The text for the evening was taken
from Corinthians, 1918. From this
text the speaker delivered 3 rather
lengthy discourse On the essentials
that 90 to make up the man. Faita,
hope and charity, he said, were abso.
]utely accessory in every life. Men
must have faith, either in things coca
or bad. he spoke Of universal faith
in things immortal, and showed as 9
result Of this the uplifting Of every.
thing in the world.
The Bishop then spoke Of hope.
Kope he ssid, must go with faith, for
aoeY could not bs separated. Hope
must come in as part OF every char
sc1er. Faith and hope, these tWo,
open the way for the greatest Of al.

the most important Of sll things, that
Is necessary, charity. He said that
charity in bis text, was tine same as
love. He showed why 80 much stress
vas laid on this one faculty. "The
greatest Of these Is charity" The
greatest requirement. made by God
vas to give H n your love. II you
loved Him, you would obey Him.
Then it was the greatest OF all. God
c,mpels no man to do His will, through

God. Love thy neighbor IS thy

better.
The sermon from the first to tbs

Eaynt Made First Pens.

Pens were first made IN Egypt and
were made of a kind of reed. The
ancients did not seem to know that
good pens could be made from goose
ouills. One Isidore, who died in 636,
mentions both reeds and feathers as
suitable pens. Swan quills as being
even better than goose Quills were
referred to in 1920. Steel pens were
invented in the first part Of the nine
teenth century. People were slow to
use them, because the metal was not
sufficiently elastic. Perry cut Sits in
steel pens in 1880, and that settled the
goose quills.

IN EDWARDS Wis KITCHEN.
Dishes Borne by Relays Through
Mirror Lined Corridors.

A system unlike that to be found
anywhere else prevails In the kitchen
where the meals Of King Edward
arc prepared.
The royal chef is a Frenchuan,
paid liberal salary, and with free
lodging near the royal palace. It Is
his business to superintend only the
kings lunch and dinner He has
nothing whatever to do, says What
to Eat, with the breakfast.
When the dinner is to be served
the scene In the kitchen is one OF
perfect order and readiness. The
cold dishes which were prepared
during the morning stand on the ia
Bile, surrounded If. necessary by ice;
the birds and other such dalntles
which are to be served, cooked TO a
second, are ready to hand.
Now the hors d'oeuvres are sent
forward in an anteroom. which In
the case Of Buckingham Palace Is
nearly three hundred yards from the
kitchen. The assistants are clad in
spotless linen, they all work by the
clock, and each dish is commenced
! and finished to within a minute Of
the appointed time.
The chef walks around and super
intends, but his assistants are so
;ell drilled in their respective duties
TAT he seldom needs to give an Or
der, though here and there he offers
& suggestion for the further perfec-
ton of some little dainty. During
this time he Is himself thinking out
I'VE final details Of the masterpiece
II the table, which he takes particu-
iarly under his own care.
Just outside the door Of the din
ing hall there is an apartment where
t!,e final touches are given to the
ielicato and costly preparations. Al
| buckingham Palace it contains hot
.able, upon which the dishes rest IN
eadiness for their distribution te
the table attendants.
The man who wields authority
here Is clad in Immaculate evening
dress and wears white gloves, and IN
& voice which Is rarely raised ABOVE
. whisper he gives the minutest dt.
iections as to what is to be done
with each particular item on the
menu from the moment when II
leaves the anteroom and passes
finally from his care. Relays Of men
and women bearers convey all these
dishes from the kitchen to the ante
room.
The passages from the kitchen are
long, with awkward corners In them
here and there, and in orde. to pre-
vent collisions in the hurry Of the
work an ingenious arrangement OF
mirrors has been effected at these
corners, so that the bearers may see
whether the road is clear for them.
Attendants are strictly forbidden
! to enter any other apartment than
that with which they are immediate
ly concerned, and even the dish bear
ers are prohibited from passing
down other corridors than those
which are set apart for their special
