If it were possible to write the full and true history of the Derby it would contain some startling revelations of strange doings behind the scenes of which the public has little suspicion and no actual knowledge. There is, for instance, little doubt that a very different tale would have been told of Teddington's Derby but for the prompt action of his wide awnke owner. Sir Joseph Hawley. When the Kentish baronet attended the York spring meeting of 1851 he wins amazed to find the bookmakers eager to lay odds to any amount against his colt, who was looked on as a certain winner of the blue ribbon a few weeks later. Sir Joseph at once scented mischief, and, leaving the course, he traveled as fast as relays of swift horses could take him to his training quarters, where he communi cated his suspicions to Alec Taylor, his trainer. As the result of their deliberat/ons Teddington was at once removed to another box, placed under the charge of a different boy and a strict watch kept over him night and day. What- ever scheme was on foot to disable the horse was thus effectually checlod, Teddington soon resumed his place as first favorite in the betting and, as ev- erybody expected, won the Derby with ease. Another mystery which has not been solved to this day is associated with Leander and that memorable Derby of 1844. It was more than suspected that Leander was a four-year-old, but there was not sufficient evidence on which to base an objection to his running. In the race his fetlock was broken by =u kick from Running Rein, and he was effectually placed hors de combat. He was shot and buried, but when a party of sportsmen who wished to test their suspicions dug up his body at dead ot night they found that the head. which alone could settle the matter, was gone Ratan, the second favorite for this race, was made safe by a cunning! devised bolus, but who administered it was never discovered, and, to crow: this Derby as the most shady an fraudulent on record, Running Rei: who came in first, was found to Il. none other than Maccabeus, a fou: year-old, and thus an impostor of the first water. Bat when it became neces. sary to produce the horse for an cx amination by experts it was found ths* he, like Leander's telltale head. hod been spirited away. In connection with Running Rein, hy the way, a dramatic story is told. Captain Osborne had backed Orland. for a very heavy sum, and when Run ning Rein came in first he was face’ with the alternative of blowing on® his brains or being declared a defav'” er. He was just on the point of choos ing death rather than dishonor when oo | note was placed in his hand. “Run ning Rein,” ran the missive, which was from a friendly tout, “is an im postor, and he won't get the Derh: stakes. Buy up all the bets on Orlan’: you can get, and you will make a for tune.” The captain put away his revolver. followed the tout's advice and, instead of providilg work for the undertaker. found himself £18,000 in pocket. Few horses have ever started a hot- ter favorite for the Derby than Mc Gregor In 1870. So rosy were his chances that odds of 9 to 4 were luil on him to an enormous amount. and the money was considered as good = won. To the consternation, however, of his backers, he seemed unable to move freely In the race and finished © bad fourth behind horses who werv not in the same century with him. There was no doubt whatever thot Macgregor had been drugged, but wi. the rascal was who did the dastar’ trick is as much a mystery today as i! was at the time. It is « this race that the followi. : remarkable story is told: During ti night before the race a jockey calle! Swift saw the finish of the Derby in : dream. He saw Kingeraft, which he mon Colleges & Schools. A recognized, pass the post a winner by a length and a half, followed by a dark brown horse which be could not identify and with Macgregor, the fa- vorite, a bad fourth. In spite of the Jeering of his friends, to whom he told the story, he backed Kingeraft for every sovereign he could raise, and, to his delight as to the disgust of the scoffers, he saw his dream exactly re- produced—the favorite badly beaten and the despised Kingeraft winning a small fortune for him. Even more remarkable is a story of that great Derby race of 1862, won by the despised outsider Caractacus, rid- den by Parsons. the stable lad. Al- though Caractacus was so badly thought of that Jim Goater point plank refused to ride him and odds of 40 to 1 were freely offered against him, a tipster gave him as a certain winner | win “with a little boy on his back as pale as death.” How vividly accurate was this dream forecast was admitted | by all who saw the finish of that sensa- | tional race.-—London Tit-Bits. A HINDOO’S TOILET. Curious Morning Scene In an East indian Compound. | All over the compounu, from veran- | das and *‘go-downs.” forms are seen ! rising from sleep, each one “wrapping the drapery of his couch about him,” with no idea in doing so of conforming to any standards urged upon the at- tention of the race by Mr. Bryant, but for the simpler if less poetic reason that these draperies constitute his bed- ding by night and his nether garment by day. But do not make the mistake of thinking that because the require- ments of the Hindoo's costume are scanty his toilet is therfore a per- functory matter, Follow him to the well. The chances are that you will never drink water again, but you will obtain knowledge. On the brink of that great yawning hole in the ground known as the compound well, whose sides are of stone and whose steps lead you down to the water's edge, behold the “males” of the compound. Di- vested of the draperies already rve- ferred to and in attitudes ranging all the way from the pose of the “Disk Thrower’ to that of the most resolute squatter upon a western claim, they are lined up in a row from the top of the steps to the bottom. In the hand of each is a chatty, and one and all are engaged in the offices of the morn- ing bath. And their tub is the well The brimming chatties are passed up and the empty ones down, legs are curried, feet are scoured, teeth are pol- ished with charcoal and stick, throats are gargled, noses trumpeted, and, in short, the whole man receives such a washing and splashing, such a rub- bing and scrubbing, such a molishing and polishing, us leaves nothing to be desired except in connection with the well. This latter consideration, how- | ever, is one that.does not disturb the | Hindoo, who, priding himself upon be- i ing externally the cleanest platter in i the universe, devotes hut little thought to the inside of the dish. His ablutions and those of his col- , leagues coucluded, he fills his chatty | once more from the pure fountain be- i low, lifts it high in the air, throws his | head back and with unerring aim pours | the crystal libation in one long, steady stream down his open throat, skilifuliy poised to receive and conduct it to his germ proof interior. Thig done, his draperies are resumed, and he departs to his work. Suddenly, as cut of a catapult, the sun leaps up from behind the eastern hills, and day is at hand.—Mary Ana- bel Chamberlain in Atlantic. | A STORY OF MILLIONS.
