AND THE MEN WHO HAVE MADE THE SWEEP.
Most of us have a little private list of experiences which we feel we should not like to miss if op- portunity to try them ever came our way. I mean notorious experi- ences which the whole world is curious about, such as being on Epsom Downs on Derby Day seeing the King open.. Parlament, elimb ing the Alps, chancing one's luck at Monte Cario-the list would be. very various,
Now there is another of these coveted experieners to add to the list. We would like to seo the Irish Sweep Draw, we would like to see that famous drum, and the hospital nurses plunging their bare arma into the pockets of it, and by that nction miraculously exchanging somebody's poverty into wealth.
Teat of Organisation,
The glamour of this occasion has bedazzled the world. Dublin for a day becomes a beacon of gold, finsh- ing and glittering in the light of millions of eyes. It is natural that we should want to be there. The experience when you have gained it does not disappoint, as I can testify. The organisation of this final were of the sweep is a pretty a work as I have ever wituensed.

But the dominant feature of the spectacle is the drum. The lights and colours, the jockeys and.nurses are all made subservient to that. In thinning steel it revolves in the centra of the platform; a uniform.
