English Darby Attracts
Huge Crowds Each Year

To an American "the Derby

every year in Kentucky; but even
in the blue grass country ''the OAR
by" means a greater event which
has attracted thousands Of racing
fans to EPSON Downs, England, for
a century and q half. II would take
a philologist to explain why the
English pronounce 1t Darby; but
its tremendous popularity needs no
explanation. For the English Derby
Is much more than q mere sports
event. It is also a picnic, q carni-
val, and a county fair, all rolled into
one. Half a million holiday makers
come together each spring, not so
much to see the fleet three-year-
olds, since hordes Of DARBY" fans
never see the horses at all, but TO
buy and sell, and to enjoy the fun
which gypsy fortune-tellers, side
shows, and refreshment stands pro-
vide.
Most Of England seems to turn
out for the race, including usually
the king and queen, hundreds Of
landed gentry, and thousands Of or
binary British families. It is a
festive day for the children as much
as for their parents. EPSON Downs
is only IA miles from the heart Of
London, and the great city Is quiet
and nearly deserted on a Derby
morning. Lawyers, doctors, bank
ers and business men forget their
work and their worries for a day,
and almost everyone-even respec-
table curates and dignified old ID
dies-places a small bet on one Of
the horses, just for the sport of It.

when the horse who won was owned
