Famous Horse Races.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe
Horse racing in the United States is
not so common as formerly, but on the
other side of the Atlantic there is no
cessation of interest in this sport. The
history of famous horse races in Eng
land is always of great interest in that
country and also in America.
Volumes could be written OF the ro-
nance attached to the British turf
events in the 18th and 10th centuries
Take the Ascot races, for instance, at
which royalty and the elite foregather
in July. They were really founded by
Queen Anne in I'LL, and kings and
queens have been more or less init
mately associated with them ever since
Even Queen Victoria, who was little
given to horse racing, had many recol-
lections of Ascot. She went there first
as a young girl in 1884, and on that
occasion gave a 10-pound note to the
winning jockey, Little Bell, and when
she did so asked the boy his weight
please, ma'am," he answered, mas
ter says as how 1 must never tell my
weight to anybody"
1t is said that when Persimmon won
the Ascot gold cup for King Edward
there were scenes of unparalleled en-
thusiasm. But even these did not
equal the excitement in 1901, when
George, prince Of Wales (later George
IV), won the most sensational race

ever witnessed on Ascot Common. A
million pounds was said to have been
staked, and when Chifney, on the
princes Baronet, snatched a victory by
half a head, with five other horses run
ming neck-and-neck to within few
yards of the winning post, the enthusi-
asm of the 10000 spectators was
boundless II made II baronets last
week" said George III to his son when
congratulating him, but your Baronet
is worth all of mine put together"
It was the third Duke Of Richmond
who started the Goodwood races in 1900
"a meeting which has rivaled Ascot
in it's attraction of royalty and society
people. One of the most memorable
races for the Goodwood cup was that
of 1880, when King William ~ entered
three horses. which came in first, sec
ond and third for that event.
Ascot and st. Leger excepted, the
Derby is the Oldest classical event on
the English turf, the first race being run
in 1880 1t was a Capt Burgoyne-who
amazed society in 1743 by clipping with
Lady Charlotte Stanley, the daughter Of
the Earl of Derby-who really founded
the race. He purchased an estate near
Banstead Downs to stimulate the ma
tive breeding of horses, and instituted
the famous derby stakes in 17s0.
How many have wanted to win the
Derby and been disappointed More than
one Lord Derby would have given worlds
for the honor. 1t was Lord Glasgows
ambition in a long life, but he only got
second once. One of the most success
full Derby winners was probably John

Romance of Diamond Mines

CasSell's Saturday Journal
There IS a whole world of romance in
the stories Of South African mines. About
a generation ago Joachim Prinsloo's farm
OF 3.300 acres. on which the Premier mine
Is. could have been bought for a pound
an acre. and fits Boer owner would have
considered that he had much the best of
the bargain. After a time. however. the
farm was purchased for 5000 pounds. a
price which Is explained by the fact that
the land was then known 10 be diamond
ferrous. and few months later the Pre-
mier company was registered with cap
ital Of 5000 pounds in 1 pound shares.
What an enormous fortune was within
the reach OF any far-seeing person who
had bought and held a few thousands
Of the original shares Is proved by the
following facts; In two recent years the
diamonds taken from this mine have been
valued az sso. 900 pounds and 99s 600 pounds.
respectively; the deferred shares. OF % sd.
have been quoted at Is pounds each
or ia times their nominal value. and the
market valuation OF the original 5000
pounds of capital has exceeded 1000. 600
pounds. or more than 2.f00 times the value
OF the whole OF PrinslOo's 800 acres In
the late seventies.

ring to the house OF commons. In 1SS0
he won 10000 pounds over his horses.
st. Giles and Margrave, when they won
the Derby and st. Leger.
The St. Leger, the second oldest horse
racing event in this country, was found
ed four years before the Derby. It
takes It's name from the famous Dom
caster sportsman, Col st. Leger (really
pronounced "Sillinger," although II -
generally pronounced as spelled by the
majority.) 1t is race which never fails
to arouse enthusiasm in the north, and
in the days before railways laborers
living 80 miles away would save up their
sflllings weeks before, walk to Doncas-
ter, see the race, and walk home again.
Many memorable st. Legers have taken
place, including two dead heats. while
on one occasion a horse named Theodore.
against whom the odds had been quoted
at 1000 to a walking stick--or, officially
1000 to 5-won.
One hundred years ago the race for
the Two Thousand Guineas, which King
Edward won the other day, was fnstitu-
ted the year after the founding of the
Chester cup. The title of the former
race originated from the fact that 1t was
established as a sweepstake OF 100 gum
cas- each, and the subscribers numbered
w N1lle the ODe InOusdnu 0uincde Hd0
the same conditions with 10 subscribers,
and was therefore called the One Thou
sand Guineas. One of the greatest
races in connection with the Two Thou
sand was when Donovan was consider
ed such a certainty that odds of IS to
20 were laid on him in a field Of nine.
Tom Cannon, however. was riding q
bad-tempered horse named Enthusiast,
who could only go when he liked. And
he did on that day. and Cannon pulle
off the race by a head.
Both the Casarewitch and the Grand
National were founded 20 years ago. In
which year also the CambridgesfSre was
established. The Eclipse stakes Is a
race of more modern origin, being es-
tablished in 1886. When the Sandown
park race committee announced that they
intended to give a fortune at once in
the shape of TO- 900 pounds. thus eclipsing
all previous prizes. no small sensation
was created In the racing world. The
distinction of riding the winner of The
first 10000 pound belongs to Tom Cam
non, who brought Bendigo home In
canter.

 Trade in the United States with the Republic of Panama in the last five years amounted to about $66, GOO, ,OOO. Of this total, $9, ,000.0 speaking in round terms, represented the value of the imports from Panama, and $60, GOO, ,000, still speaking in round terms, was the value of merchandise exported to Panama. The necessity of the rotation of crops is we'll recognized among modern farmers, and now it ap- pears that in India nature is seen practicing the same thing m the forests. The soil becoming exhausted after a long period of enc kind of forest, seedlings or another species gradually replace the old trees as they die out. On
