a white leg running away at monstrous rate
and another horse a great way behind trying 70
race after him; but she sure he never
would catch the white legged one if he ran to

prophetic soul Not long after this episode he
was entered in his first race. 1t was at the
Epson meeting on May >. 1869 Dennis Okelly
was so sure of the animals prowcss that when
he made a heavy wager that he would place all
the horses in the second heat and was asked to

Eclipse was bred by the Duke of Cumber

has much to say in this book about the lead
ers of sporting society in the time Of Eclipse.
devotes some Of his most entertaining pages to
the grim hero OF CuIloden. and is, on the whole.
inclined to give him better character than he
enjoys in the pages Of most historians. The
touch of whitewash Is Of consequence. but
the reader easily forgives Mr.. Cook FOR attempt
ing TO apply it. After all, we can understand
this writer's point of view. He would naturally
want to say the best that could be said for the
man whose stable produced such kingly horse.
The sire of Eclipse MaTske a brown;
his dam Spietta. a bay. Into all the
phases of the question of his ancestry II is inn
possible to enter here but to the layman there
is a vivid interest in what Mr.. Cook has to say
bearing upon the mixed blood of the great horse.
He the layman might perhaps in view of all
that he has heard about Arab stock assume that
with a diminution Of its purity there would fol-
low diminution of its speed. Says Mr.. Cook:
1t must always be remembered that the pure
Arab has never been for racing
English course and never will be The English
thoroughbred he helped to make only
faster than anything known in England before;
he also much better than anything seen be
fore in the Eastern home of the finest and purest
Arab stock ever bred. II has and over again
been proved since the eighteenth century. that for
sheer pace the thoroughbred can give the Arab
several stone and u beating over anything up
two miles and Il half in this country. IL is only
for long distances and for hard work, involving
stamina alone. fairly soft surface. that the
pure bred Arab may still be useful. Ii has also
pecn inCuntrStably proved that modern thorough
bred stock cannot possibly be improved by the d
rect infusion of fresh blood from a pure bred
Arab sire. So soon, indeed this last point
discovered that he has been left alone by all racing
men in his native deserts almost since the days of

finds great difficulty in rendering accurate fe-
scriptions Of many Oriental customs and
thoughts. The caste system of India, Chinese
etiquette. Hinduism. and other things gIibly told
by literary transients in anecdotal form are sad
by this writer to be almost beyond explanation
to strangers: and to prove this. Mr.. Knox has

up the new spirit aroused by the recent

Knox shows himself to be a man 80 thoroughly

Indifferent 10 the possibility of ultimate vie

international politics. He looks forward 70 the
liberation OF Chinas masses through the pursuit
of science and the conviction that there is op-
