Betting as a Patriots Duty.
So. betting on the English horse be-

then the English horse would win. In
1866 it was the Duke of Beauforts Cey-
lon in 1868 the Marquis of Hastings
Earl; in 1872 Mr. Savilles Cremorne. and
in 1874 Mr. Marshalls Trent.
Then came a period of six years In

remarkable seven years. In which the
English horse was five times winner;

The French horses were so good and

that a strange Grand Prix duel went on

Baron de Schickler winning the Grand

won twice in succession. Then Edmond

Although in general form the dress mas
remained much the same, there have been
many developments. In the fifteenth CEN
fury special distinction was made between
the masters and the bachelors goWn-the

During the middle ages the priests

distinctive dress aided materially.
How Innovation Came.
The close alliance of the priesthood with
