Derby Week Memorable One.


The Coronation Derby week will be
ever memorable for several causes.
Brothers, cousins and friends from all
parts of the empire on which the sun

Almost more interesting than the
Derby was the race for the Corona
tion cup, in which Lemberg covered
himself with glory, but he has not yet
to be comfortable on the Epson gradi-
ents, easily though he slipped away
down the hill. He was not anything
like his best, and he is sure to improve
as the season goes on, If he keeps
sound. The fact that when beaten

clever action i'm its down-bill and round

run home, in which the well BALANCED
horse again gots the best start, bui
there is nothing in this course which
really good miller of suitable contor
nation and strength cannot succeed ~
doing. Strength and stamina for gal
loping ou the flat are two wholly or
