A SEEMINGLY TRIVIAL FACT. One chronicler of the story of the great event observes that "there would have been no Derby had it not been for the seemingly trivial fact that James I imported an Arab steed." It remains to be seen whether the presentation of a similiar animal to Signor Musso- lini will prove the forerunner of an Italian Derby.':

Certainly racing at Epsom was in a bad way until Newmarket be- gan to create sensations. Where- upon there came an appeal to make the downs participators in the wonderful new boom. Actually the beginning of the Epsom meeting are "wrapt in mystery." No sport-. ing event has given historians. so much trouble.-

There are those who believe that this year really celebrates the two hundredth anniversary of racing there, All that is sure is that there was a race in 1730 which was won by Madcap, and the event took place in May. One hundred thousand people gathered on the downs to see it, so that we may in- fer that by this time racing had begun to have great expections. From that time Epsom attracted Royal patronage.

THE COURT AT EPSOM. Queen Anne, however, did the meeting in the truly grand manner for she moved the entire court, to the downs and, indulged in a really hectic time. There was riding, hunting, racing and games of chance by day, and dancing by night, ao that the courtiers were glad to partake of the excellent mineral springs and, according to one diarist called, it a "veritable pool of Bethesda."

Of course, it was not until Afty- years after Madcap had won the firet classic event on the towns that we had the "Derby" in name This was started the year follow- ing the rupning of the first Oaks. It is a pretty bit of historic chival-

ry that the Indies came first.

And now it is interesting to note that yet another Arab steed 'comes into the story. For noting our intense delight in horseflesh, the Imam of Muscat presented to George IV. a glorious animal which was valued at over ten thousand pounds. This was considered record. It was generally cited as evidence of the advance in the value of horses which had followed on the arrival of Markham Arab in the stables of James the First, and the development of racing..

The end la not yet. The Aga Khan paid as much as 9,700 guineas for a colt some time ago, while three times ten thousand would not suffice to buy a good classic winner to-day.
