DENIED PLEASURES OF TABLE
Great Jockey Had to Sacrifice Muen 10
Maintain His Position as king
of Riders.

Fred Archer, the famous Engllsh
Jockey, had to employ heroic meas
ures to keep his weight down.
The story is told of how, on one oc-
casion he was the guest of very hos
pitable host.
From the kitchen came the perfume
of savory meats, and at dinner a
sturdy, rosy checked man-servant made
his appearance, his back bending un-
der the weight Of great salmon on a
lordly dish. -.
Poor Archer's face, as he surveyed
the initial preparations for the evening
meal was quite piteous to watch
Then. with shrug of the shoulders
and a sigh, but ill-concealed by cyni
cal remark, he left the table. ant
shortly afterward his host saw hin
pass the window on hack, gallopin'
toward the training grounds.
Later on he partook Of tiny glas
