[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]

LONDON, June 9th. The classic race on Epsom Downs has, of course, been the event of the week. When one comes to think about it there is something aatdhishing in the fact that the Derby grows in popularity as the years go by. For days beforehand the race is the chief topic of con- People who know no thing about racing and never bet develop an absorbed interest in the Derby.

And everybody has a flutter either with a bookmaker or in a sweepstake. It is really rather wonderful

versation.

And on the day of the great event! The hands of the clock are watched as they move round to 3 p.m. Greenwich time. Then for a few breathless moments the world seems, to stand still-till the result is known. I suppose there is nothing more characteristically English than this proof of the in-born sporting spirit that finds expression over the feverish contest at Epsom.

Widespread Interest.

1

Where else would you have the result of a horse race announced as the Derby was on this occasion In the Grand Committee Room of the Houses of Parliament, while a witness was in the middle of an answer to counsel before the Com. mittee on the Railwaye Road Trans port Bills, Viscount Chelmsford, the chairman, received from a messen- ger a slip of paper. Without any introduction be snapped out: "Fel stead, Flamingo, Black Watch." The interjection was so sudden that the official shorthand writer mechanically recorded the names in his notebook, and had to Brase them from the witness's evidence There was so much excitement that Lord Chelmsford had to call for order.

Lord. Blanesburgh, who was pre- siding at a League of Nations Union Conference at the London School of Economics, stopped a speaker and read out the result amid laughter and chcers These are typical instances of the interest. taken in the race. Even in the Courts of Justice slips of paper were handed round showing that the Derby was uppermost in the minds of those in Court. I verily believe that if a judge were in the middle of sentencing a prisoner and got the result he would stop to announce the winner of the Derby!

Backers Of Felstead,

Of the race itself the obvious com- meat is that the failure of the favourite and the victory of Felstead presented the bookmakers with a fortune. The winner was not gen- erally fancied. Most of the know. ing ones in the clube ignored him; and almost all the sporting prophets who wrote so learnedly about racing in the papers left him out of their reckoning,

MIDNIGHT THE

LLANDUDNO, 10th. Residents and visitor Llar dudno were startled at midnight last night by the fring:the life- boat maroons. Hundred rushed to the promenade, many with coats fung on over their nightclothes.

It was blowing a gale and the lookout men reported distress dares at sea. A meeeage was received from the Great Orme that a yacht was in distrean.

Crowds helped to drag the life- boat from its ehed. It was hauled on its carriage the half-mile to the shore, through lashing rain. The boat thundered down the slipway and stuck in the sand. S

Soaked volunteers dragged and pushed it to the edge of the set The tide was low, and women waded waist deep to help the crew set their craft afloat.

Finally the host put to sea, and cruised for eight hours, to find- nothing.

Bilading Eatz.-

"We saw no craft in distress," said the second coxswain to a Daily Express representative, "but the rain was so thick that at times we could not see the length of the boat.

76 THE AVERAGE AGE FOR TEN LARGE CONCERNS.

Mr. E. C. Grenfell, the banker and City M.P., speaking in Par liament said:-

The only salvation for the heavy industries is complete reorganisa tion from within.

Ten leading concerns are under the control of men aged from ninety years downwards, and averaging seventy-six years.

"Decrepitude at the top of the management is more responsible for harm to an industry than anything else."
