body was removed for intermcnt some
few days ago Around the tomb dur

the rider had had business and social
! relations during his lifetime. Thoffca-

matter of no small wonder, tcstlfylng

rider In life. A silver-handled and dia-
mond studded whip had been laid be-
side the body, which had been given
him after his victory with Salviderc ~
