PUTTING SOMETHING ON A

HORSE,

When a man talks of playing, it the sense of gaming, he specifically does not mean playing a game... The vocabulary of the subject is doubtless vague and embiguous, but the ex hortation to play the game” does indicate the comprehension of some ideals more dignified, than merely

putting money down on green tables in the hope that it may múltiply itself by good lack. You can play. the game at cricket or football: you can scarcely do so st boule or petits cherant. It is clear that.

the two former stand in a higher category than the two latter; they and excitement about the result, but sbare the elements of uncertainty

they depend so much on admirable personal qualities, on speed, skill, endurance, enterprise, and loyalty. Te is a frequent complaint that the British, as a nation, are ceasing to exercise these qualities for them- selves, and preferring to watch the professional exercise of them by others and to bet on them.

If this is so, it is pity. But the moralist can extract a sermon from the stone he is engaged in throwing at his decadent generation. If the psychological need of play cat really be satisfied by watching others play- ing, it is clear that the essential is not in the exercise, but in the excitement. And that is why horse racing is the most popular (as well as the most widely execrated) of all our forms of sport, and why thei newspapers find it so easy to concen- trate the throbbing hopes and fears. of a nation upon the Derby. True, the merely aesthetic side of horse-racing must appeal to a great many. The horse is beautiful, sleek, bright eyed, capricious slim as a dancer, swift. as an arrow, uncertain as a mistress. "The horse," wrote a schoolboy in a famous essay, "is a noble animal, but when infuriated it will not do so." And the light and colour of the actual race provide a more beauti ful vision than the scrambling of twenty-two men for thirty, as the i case may be) about a muddy ball- though, on the other hand a cricket field is a pretty sight. But it is not the ugliness of football or the pretti- ness of cricket or racing that deter mines their relative popularity. Cricket is far less popular than football, end not only because it is less easy to bet on. And the ugly, ignoble side of horseracing is, after all, appareat enough. Wherever the horse is,

looking set of men be gathered together. Who are they, and from what quarter do they come? They are not the legitimate attendants of the superior beast. They are not the public" in the marrow sense in which we usually employ that word. They are invariably under-sized and mean-spirited and evil-visaged. They offend the social, the moral; and the artistic sense. They debase the atomsphere of the most lordly, race meeting. They show especially degraded by contrast with the "noble animals." They are the Yehocs to the Houyhubums of the race.

Neither the beauty nor the ugliness of horse-racing is the ultimate ques- tion, for this sport is quite as dear to the hearts of those who have never been near a course in their lives as to those who have hardly ever been near anything else; nobody really believes in anybody else's power to calculate the 'form" of horses; the interrogation is a sublime waste of time, a gorgeous silliness, a never-to- be-superannuated piece of folly, It correspads to; perhaps, the most vital instinct (next, to. banger and love, which, however, themselves partake of it) in cur „mortal- make-up.

But when he put his shirt on that horse be was not in search of something for nothing. He was not cheating his Deightour. He was not grinding
