One Of the most enthusiastic racing men
1 ever met is poet, and a good one at
that-perhaps the best living.
Goes to Derby With Priest.
Two years ago I went down to see the
Derby with an Irish priest, man of
most beautiful and immaculate character,
and well known and respected by all.
How he enjoyed it! 1t added to my own
pleasure, and we backed the winner,
Lemberg, and also Charles O'Malley.

on walking down that lovely course from

is world known for his charity and kind
ness to poor boys. whom he rescues from
restitution on the London streets.
l hope myself to have some claim to
the artistic temperament. but, oh, how l
do love a race! To me it Is the most
glorious pastime in the world, and don't
know how l am going to exist without
it In America 1 think if I were asked
to name the three finest things in the
world l would answer: Love, sport and
work, in the order named.
All Three Necessary.
All three are necessary for mans per-
feet happiness, all three are so wrapped
up together tHdl YOU can separate them.
You work to provide for those you love.
and you sport because you must have
relaxation in order to be able to work
for those you love. while love brings
them all into being, for without love the
world would stop going round. If you
have no person you love, you can love
your child, and if you have no child.
some one else's, or nobody's child an
orphan, or If not that you can love hu-
manity.
If you are bitter and have allowed the
iron to enter into your soul you still
love a dog or even a cat, but If you are
a sensible human being you will love
them all, including, last but not least,
sport.
