FAMOUS GOODWOOD.
Something About Historic English
Race Course.

Race Course.
The Goodwood race course is quite
unique. 1t is long way from sta
ton and is not near any town. says the
London Taller. 1t is on hill the top
of which is shaped like horseshoe.
the space between the two horns being
represented by a deep ravine. The
course runs round the horseshoe. the
start being at the end of one horn and
the finish at the end of the other. The
result of this is that the equestrians
who on other courses contrive to see
both start and finish by the simple
process of riding across while the race
is in progress cannot do so at Good
wood. They must elect which they
will see and remain there. On the
other hand, the course is very easy to
follow with glasses.
The races as an institution are COM
paratively modern. but there must
have been hunt races and matches on
this course since the days of William
Ill, when we hear of the Goodwood
hunt as in existence. In 1900. how
ever, the then Duke of Richmond
made Il new course. which is practical
ly the present one. In 1901 the course
was completed. and in order to cele-
brate this regular meeting was got
up by the duke with the assistance of
the hunt and some officers of the Sus-
sex militia and yeomanrys and prizes
to the value of about $1,000 were put
up. This meant good sum in those
days. This was the first Goodwood
meeting of importance, and from that
year it became an annual event

Experienes Of Man Who Was Chain.

In writing of the Schluesselbure

Soskice tells Of a prisoner who was
chained to wheelbarrow:
"Schedrin had been condemned to
hard labor In the convict mines of 81.
IBERIA and for an attempt to escape
from there had been sentenced to be
chained to a heavy wheelbarrow.
When the order came for his transfer
from Siberia to st. Petersburg no con-
veynnce could be found large enough
to contain him. the wheelbarrow and
the convoy of gendarmes. Yet. as the
wheelbarrow had become a part Of
the prisoner. the gendarmes were
afraid to leave it behind. II was there
fore decided to place Schedrin with his
convoy In one cart and the wheelbar.
row behind In another. For several
months. day and night. Schedrin and
the gendarmes galloped through 81

hind them upon which the wheelbar-
row reposed. causing the deepest
amazement among the peasants in the
villages through which they passed
Upon the arrival Of the prisoner in IS
Peter and Paul he was once again
chained to the barrow. and only after
he had been six weeks in the Schlues-
selburg was he finally detached from
1t and given freedom of movement
within the narrow confines of his cell.
"'When they unclaimed me- said
Schedrin subsequently. L could not get

that men who can enjoy perfect free

A RecIuse, He Lived Far From the

Henry Cavendish. the famous natural
philosopher and chemist. was recluse
who astonished England.
A son Of Lord Charles Cavendish
and nephew of the third Duke of
Devonshire. possessed of enormous
wealth. the subject Of universal ad-

OF his study and the company of his
books to the pleasures society could
offer him.
For many years he lived at Hamp.
stead In large. roomy house. attended
BY number of female servants, who.
however. were strictly enjoined TO keep
out Of his sight. IL IL domestic by the
merest chance came into the presence
OF Cavendish she was instantly dis

Every morning the philosopher would
leave note OH the hall table naming
what he wanted for dinner No one
saw him place the note there; but, ac.
customed to the strange customs of
the establishment. the meal would be
