About Donoaster's Derby in 1873 a score
Of dream face stories are told, says a
writer in Bailly's Magazine. The wife OF a

was Doncaster, to her husband and that
the horse had won the race.
She told her lord and master, who pooh

On the Friday preceding the Derby day
the holder Of the ticket for Doncaster offered
II to the steward, saying: Il sail on Monday
from Southampton for the East, and
want to get out Of this ticket. II any gen.
tleman will give you guinea for it, let him
have It,"
The steward at once thought Of his wife's
dreams and replied, quite right, sir,
there's the guinea, and II no one takes the
ticket shan't be broke"
As a matter OF form the steward offered
the ticket to several gentlemen in the club
and they all refused. Later on he had the
pleasure OF receiving fi5o sterling over the

man goes around to the Office
