r THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 18G9. A FBESCHMAS AT THE "1ERI,Y. Hone I'P In Ihc Fimhlon of Victor tluao. The jerky ntyle of Victor Hugo, in hi" late work of "Tho Man Who Lnugim," has been linppily hit off in the London Telegraph, in a description, purporting to come from nn un happy Frenchman, of a visit to tho Derby. It is from the point of view of having been swindled by a member of the swell-mob, and would properly bo L'JIanme (Jt(i Mat re. ANTIC irATlONH. . L'llinmc qui Jilt. "In England everything is great, even that which is not good, even oligarchy itsolf 1 Though profound and sublime of the Muster; apophthegm initiatory and bitter of tho Man n ho Laughs who laughs, but who can also For fJeniuH, as for Ambition for Trome thenfl who thinks, as for Prometheus who wields tho great battalions seems it not that there is reserved, by the derisive irony of Fate, an expiatory rock, an island exile 1 For Victor lingo, this rock expiatory but glorious, calls itself Guernsey. For Napoleon, it had two names; it was Elba, and it was Ste. llelene. "lie laughs best who laughs last," says tho proverb. Proverbs are tho wisdom of nations. And thou, oh Master, oh author of the Man who Laughs, thy laugh is as the laugh of Gwynplaine, sombre ;but not cynical, perma nent but full of pity,t)f compassion a laugh ter broken with tears above all, a laughter which endures ! J J. The FolitlaritH of the Sportman. The tportman of France, tho xportmanx of England, they are as tho brothers of Cor nica. What says your Williams? "As we were being washed by nurse, we got com pletely mixed!" Touching and tender fantasy f this grand old Swan of St rat ford -upon-Thames. I had long desired to watch yon insularies in the sports of the hippodrome, in which I nru myself not without skill; but tho furious storms of the Sleeve twice detained me at Ca lais, and onco at Boulogne. I consoled myself in the hope that everything coup's to him who knows how to wait. I knew how to wait. I waited. After Chantilly, Epsom's Courses ? The nea appeared calm; not a wrinkle in the folds of the steel-blue Sleeve. I embarked myself, with my luggage in my left hund and my "Huff's Guide to the Turf in my right. I 'shall Fee them, then, at last these courses, sacred in the past by tho memory of Eclipse and tho Flying Admiral Childers, dear to the patriotic heart of France in the present days by the triumph of Gladiateur ! JIf. Octait lx J'trjltlionx than tha Aristo cracy of Al''"i). The sun was shining. The Oce.iii stirred gently in its sleep. As we cros Calais liar tho vessel rolls. I like it not. Can she be strong enough for tho traverse, often fearful and stormy, to Douv res? I begin to marvel whether she is made of iron, or only made of wood. I address the question, politely, to a young English xportmanx by my wide "Pardon, Mister; but what is the vessel made of Y' A spasm of uncertainty, if not of pain, passes across his face as he points to itu in scription inside tho paddle-boxes. One can only die one time; nevertheless, it is permitted to exclaim against tho perfidy of the Stenm-Lords of the Board of Commerce for London and Douvres. I road the inscrip tion. Hope abandons me. The vessel is not made of iron ! She is not even made of wood ! ! She is only "Maid of Kent"; .' ! IV. I'orhiitosuni Mare. An agitation which I have never foil, before teems to seize upon me. The further we go, the in ore it increases. VI. Xvhlt.s.ie Ohlije. The young English xportma nx is, after all, a good infant. He brings me a big golet and a biscuit, which comfort me. We become more and moro friendly, as tho pnin subsides. When we reach Douvres, I give him my card. He says that ho has forgotten his; but that I shall have no difficulty in finding him at any of the tiiiiilintirn d. li rhtiMxt' Sporting Drums especially if I asked for Lord William Wig gins, ot N appmg. What a droll of a name ! Not faeilo to pro nounce, that ! Let us essay, with tho help of the dictionary of pronunciation: "Ouilliam Ouiggins of Ouapping." Pest! VII. The Bahylon of Britain. Yes; in England everything is great. Be hold this London, confused and chaotic amal gamation of bourg upon bourg, of city upon city, almost of county upon county behold its administration, vague, contradictory, without doubt, but immense, but Titantic, but sublime behold its Lor Maire, relic touching and melancholy, even when con vivial, of the medieval centuries when Whit tington's Club and Dr. Watts Tyler combatted for the liberty of the municipality contem plate Sir Thwaites, who hurls bridges across the Thames, who bids the aspiring viaduct invade the lonely kingdom of the Empyrean, and who, Hercules of his epoch, cleanses tho Augean stables by his sewers, persevering and profound contemplate those companies which have tamed the llash of lightning into n commissionaire, and which circulate through one pipe, water, find through its neighbor, fire; and you will avow that although there is but one city in the world, , which is Paris, there is also a nation encamped in buildings, which is London! To-day London has but one heart, which palpitates one thought, which engrosses one dream, which possesses ouo hope, which enchants, io tho heart, tho thought, ti tuo dream, tne nope, there is one key. It is tho Epsom's Courses, at Derby! VIII. J'l-i'i Hc ttionn'. Qnentions to revolve: "Who is Epsom?" "And where is Derby?" Mvbterv strange and inexplicable, this Epsom! Not one of my interlocutors, of French or English, can give me any particu larH of his life. Oh fame, oh renown, oh fickleness of popular affection ! We go to the courses he has founded; and yet tho very day of his death is forgotten or un known! I betrin to fear that even Gladiateur himself, whom I have wagered to win to-morrow, may find a conqueror. IX. Vieille JZcolc, Bonne Ecole. Happilv. I encounter Lord Ouiggins. He is an aristocrat of tho old rock a little mockinur, perchance, a little reserved, cold, in differeut, proud, but of an antique probity, a disinterestedness more man Koman. Ho taken me under his charge. I had been deceived. They wore mockinor themselves of me, those who told me tho courses were at Derby. Ihcy are run on Ep "Derby" is only tho title of their founder, one of those English eccentricities, of whom the type is so familiar in France poet, poli tician, jockey Premier Minister of Great Britain until he was overthrown by the in trigue of Sir Benjamin Gladstone ! After one thunder stroke, another: (iUtdiatevr i not to run What is to become of the money I have wagered ? Lord Ouiggins tells mo io console myself. He hu private information He will not see a foreign gentleman wro:ged. X. Le Nuiti de Londrcs. We are inseparable. Milord has backed a favorite to win him thousands of sterlings. Curious, almost cynical nomenclature of the Turf! The horse is named Veutre-Tambour, Bolly drum ! ! He is assured to win ; Milord dreamt, last night, that he saw him four longths ahead at Tattenhnni-court-road Corner. I wnger freely on Vent re-Tambour. Lord Ouiggins says we had better not go down to his baronial hall at Ouapping, but "make a night" and start early. Ah, nights of London,' you have not, effectively, stolen your reputation! What contrasts, fascinating but terrible here, the noblesse, like Ouiggins, quailing champagne with visitors from France; and there the miserables, the Tom-Dick-Harries drinking gin the blonde misses, casting aside the Puritanic pudor of tho saloon, and dancing freely with foreign (jfutle ma nx at the Duke of Argyle's Casino what contrasts, but also, alas, what jealousies si ill existing, what inter necine hatred still in rage! KF.AMTIE8. I. Mlttrx W'nttrx or S'. and li. After Light, Shadow; nfter Pleasure, Pain; sad but inevitable oscillations of tho pendu lum of life! Alas, to wake it is to remember, and to remember is to repent. For some time I knew not where I found myself. Presently, as tho dim light of tho dawn penetrated, first through the folds of tho fog, and next through the dirt of the windows, I recollected that Lord Ouiggins had advised me to stay with him at a fashionable hotel, adding that his own drag would call for us in the morning. Ah, there is still remaining, then, a little of tho true old Britannic hospi tality! Democrat myself, let me not bo un just to the noblesse. "What did you ring for ?" pursued Lord Ouilliam. "But, for Selters then!" "Tout droit," he rejoined. "I'm eticz horrihh nient coupe, tuoit umi;hicn nide!n Strange and picturesque aryd of intoxica tion; "awful cut," "very tight.'' "Listen" continued Milord. "My carriage is not. yet arrived. It has probably beau stopped by the Thames Embankment, which is to run outside my park at Ouapping. Look you, I will take places for two, outside an omnibus. It is tho usual plan among the nobility. Admiral Eons will bo one of us. You may easily know him by his wearing a white hat, a veil, and a flower in his button hole. Meanwhile, better not have Selters. Try S and B !" Enigma, of which the solutio n when it came was far from disagreeable. J I. Lux. Tho morning at first was dull and brumous. Tho spleen of Britannia seemed to possess me. 1 had atrocious pains in my head. Every noise bore upon my nerves. Tho very sight of food seemed to nauseate me. Lord Ouiggins, on the contrary, made a breakfast of tho most substantial. I cannot say much in favor of tho cuisino at this fashionable hotel, one of tho first in London, tho well-known "Spotted Dog," in the aristocratic quarter, lloute do la Ohapello Blanche (White-Chapel road), tho Faubourg St. Germain of London. Strange tho hotel is not mentioned in any of tho ordinary Lon don Guides. Bay by ray, sunbeam by sunbeam, the morn ing advanced. As tho herrings of Yarmouth vanished from tho table the sunlight pierced. Light ! for the captive in tho dungeon, for sailor on tho deck, for tho noble sport mans on tho omnibus. Light light equal, impartial, beneficent ! To the trainer in his stall, to the outcasts sleeping on tho Downs, to tho patri cian in his lonely tub, tho light appeared, tho promise, tho herald, the messenger of joy. For once the social distinctions, liard as iron, of tho Old England break down; for once the noble lord rides on tho kuife-ho ird with tho proletarian. Tho baronet salutes tho butcher; deep calleth unto deep. Sublime democracy ot sport, victorious equality ot tho betting ring. V e take our places, ilio best seat is re served for the Admiral that famous old war rior, who turned tho fortune of tho day at (Jliillianwallau hy his historical charge at tho head of tho Naval Reserve and the Koyal Horse Mrrines. Combination eccentric, but not without precedent. Tho horso was sacred to Neptunus. This Hons, see you, this Ad mirid so passionately equine in his tastes, ho is Jean-Bart and ho is also Murat; ho is Keller man, and ho is also La Perouse ! All tha great men touch and recognize one another ! The light stilt brightens. Behotd us then effectively departed! Honrrah ! Hep, hep, hep ! Vive Ventre-Tambour ! . Xolhing ix Certain to Happen but that ichich ix Uitforexn.ii. We have gone a few miles on our road, still through tho streets of the fashionable quarter, to-day us democratic us tho faubourg St. Antoine, and crowded with other Derbyites, before we speak much to each other, lloservo characteristic of tho oldest and proudest aris tocracy on earth. At length Lord Ouiggins whispers me "I knew I had forgotten something. I've left my purse on tho piano !" For the moment I wished that I had don 9 the same. Suspicion dishonorable and ignoble ! . What 1'ocaty 1ifoiiKX ironical, kt Wudt'i take care. The old Britannic humor, as exhibited in Sumuel Benjamin Johnson, in Jonathan Smith, and Dean Sydney Swift, is not abso lutely extinct upon tho road. More than one littlo Arab of the highway shouts out to me, "1 11 have your hat !" Wil I caprice of the imagination, playfully misrepre senting the probuble eventualities of the f ut nre, and yet, at bottom, profound, almost terriblj a mockery, yes, but a menace a jest, with out doubt, but a threut also the voice, gro tesque but strident, of the Miserables.' lie fleet. To-day they only laugh at property; to morrow they may insist on sharing it. I impart these reflections to Lord Ouiggins. Alas, to what good? The pride of his class is too strong for him. His natural instincts are noble; but he is spoiled by the mephitio at mosphere of Upper Chamber. With a laugh coiu, samonic, aim guu-im, h-ijiio wurug of ineffaceable significance, typifying tho gulf bciWGu Uio Sulka awi .lie tws "Thro the littlo beggar a copper, an I let him go !" i He does not even, generous though he is, offer to provide the copper. i Again, ignoble suspicion 1 ' I forgot that hot has left his purse on the piano ! The Arab delirious with joy iaved, per haps, from starvation by the casual bounty of a foreign tportnmn, would fain express his thanks. His emotion overpowers him. He staggers; horror, he falls ! No 1 again ! Gal lant child of Poverty, the struggle is vain. Once more he wavers, he oscillates, he fallsi and turning wildly head over heels, iu the) convulsion of his death agony, he disappear in a cloud of dust doubtless to be driven over by the omnibuses of the haughty and tho phaetons of tho Stock Exchange ! Shocked, but masking my horror under the veil of a politeness a little cynical, I say to Lord Ouiggins: i "And well, then, Milord, did you vei what he did ? and do you know what will bo his fate ?" Question terrible ! He does not even remove the cigar from his mouth, this impassive patrician, as he an swers, with a laconism which lacerates which vibrates on my nerves, which almost makes me bound, , "I'm Cart-irheeir VI. IahuIoii at Epxom. ' Dust, heat, emotion all stimulate thirst, i I soon forget the little Arab. There are plenty of others remaining 1 There are worse things in the world, too, than bottled stout. Lord Ouilliam tells mo that none of tho aris tocracy now drink champagne in public. It excites a feeling of envy among tho lower orders. On Derby's Day, tho populace gives mo tone to tno peerage. Most of the mar quises on our omnibus drink beer, and several of them have brought pies, mado from tho celebrated hunters of Melton Mowbray hip pophagy expensive, but characteristic of Bri tannic humor. Tho Admiral is a humorist of the most extravagant. Ho has only brought a little gin and water in a bottle, and somo hem sandwiches in a copy of the Saturday Jlcriar. It is this readiness to accept tho popular customs which has made him the idol of the crowd. Tho crowd; my faith, and what a crowd ! There are two things in the world a man never forgets: his first sight of the sea and his fir.it sight of the multitude on Epsom Downs ! There is another thing which somo men never forget ! I know 1 never shall. It is tho first voyage over the Sleeve ! VII. Mixxicurs, faittx voire jeu! Le jen est fait ! "Would you like to see the horses a littlo nearer ?" says Lord Ouiggins. "You had bet ter buy a couple of tickets for tho Padwiclc." I do so. The Padwick so called utter an eminent British xportmanx is an enclosed space in which the true connoisseurs survey the horses before they start. As I gizout Ventre-Tumbour, I can hardly refrain from shouting, amongst all these impassible patri cians, "Honrrah! Hep, hep, hep!" ' Lord Ouilliam Ouiggins comes to me, hur riedly, and whispers: "Hush, I have just got tho straight tip from tho Admiral himself. It's a moral; and tho horso at twenty-five to one ! We must get on every sou we have. There is barely timo before they star!. Quick." I hand him my purse not without a moment of hesitation of which I am speedily ashamed. VJIJ. Ricn ne. va jil'ix. 1 A minute sometimes seems like hours. For tune was in my grasp. Tho interval of suspenso was horrible; aa 1 yet its termination, when it did come, soeme I abrupt, sudden, incredible. I was still struggling with the crowd, whe:i a hoarso sound suddenly rose like tho roar of a tempest on a rocky coast it rose, and rose, and grew stronger; I looked; I saw a wonder ful white flash of faces as tho heads of the multitude turned all, in one instant, ono way: and my pulses seemed as though they would kill me with their throbbing, as with one voice that innumerable assemblage cried "They're Off!" IX. The Word of the Enigma. They were indeed; and so was Lord 0;iil- liicin Ouiggins of Ouapping! SPECIAL. NOTICES. jjiT FOR T11K SUMMER.
