pie from ■every pari of th Brit^.-h
Isles, America ami far-off lands gath
er for 26 hours before the event.
Most of them have pilgrimage I her ■
on foot lor liundtv Is of miles ns
though obeying an .irresistible relig
c ton s anstanct. This is their .uaecu,
their Holy i" Hollos. They want to
Jay their tribute at the shrine of
uhe Horse, for today ho is King. An 1
they are jneparerl to place their last
shilling on their l.iToriln steed.
Bookmakers Galore
v In the jiiidst of the great spectacle
are countless thousands of book
makers, prophets, oracles, gypsies
and liars, standing on soap boxes, In
booths, in eircu c-wagyns or under
tents, selling information and "tips"
that may in..ke cr break the buyer.
Great cotton placards and canvas
banners tell the world wiio they are.
Theie is "Lon* Tom,” who has b: n
“making beta at the same old place
for 49 years." Thera la “Honest
Honrv," who has "picked the winner
in 12 consecutive Derbies." Thera is
“Skipper Sparrow'," who “guarantees
the public prompt payment, honest
dealings anl courteous treatment."
Home of them have automobiles,
some only great sunshades, others
wagon- resembling American prairie
schooners, and • lew Conte with one
hoss shays. They screech their odds
: and prices in meows but plausible
. tones. Jn England the bookies, un
like their Am eric in comrades, are not
molested by the law They have an
open sesame of betting. Even, the
'jmlicemen place wagers, while Eng
land’s lax racing law winks its eye.
Gypsies Are There
Mingled among the multitudes of|
bookies are ho t of bronze-face I
gypsiga with long hair and lean vis
ages, 'begging, badgering, soothsaying.
This is their Patron Saint's day. One]
of thorn may display an American!
flag on his dilapidated caravan so as
to attract the Yank ;es in the crowd.
Another offers real American apple
pie and coffee lo homesick race-goers
tram across the Atlantic. Others
.efter to tell the fortunes of the wo
men In ^ie crowd, and to pick them
a winner.
Then there nre legions of itinerant
,rc. taurnnts, lomonr.tlo stalls, beer
stands, patent-medicine vendors, mis
sionaries, reformers, simple rustic
gentry and sharp city folk. The
scene re - in bios an American Wild
West ,Show on a colossal scale, or a
huge county fair in tile heart of
lire' Harte’s Golden West. As far as
vision i :n penetrate, tho greensward
Is cluttered with tents, caravans, ear
riages, donkeys, horses, farm-wagons
and i veil wli' '1-barrows. There are
whole armada- of charabancs and
iiii'i mobiles, the owners converting
the roofs into grandstands.
Royalty Attends
In t i. grantUrtund win he the King
and tlio Queen. Princess Mary, as
well versed In racing subtleties as
the eldest bookie, will be un eager
spectator, and th.l Duke of York and
lila Scottish' bride, ffeah from their
honeymoon, will coma in for much1
attention from the crowd.
Year after year the scenes at the
Derby repeat themselves with re
markable fidelity, so much so that
one familiar with past races knows
almost exactly what to expect. There
will lie the professional tipsters and
'bookmakers at points of vantage in
tho field and grandstand, gesticulat
ing and indulging in queer physical
gyrations. They wig wag or sema
phore to their comrades on the out
idivof the course the betting odds as
tnu'lo by the porting peers and oth
er.a--. It is a mute, cryptic language
of tile hands and arms that mystifies
tho uninitiated, but u whole fortune
may depend upon It. *
“They’re Off"
Within the elliptical race-enclosure
30 of Britain's fleetest and finest
thoroughbreds prance at the tape,
restive and fractious. The magic
words “They're off!” will issue from
a hundred thousand throats, and a
solid phalanx of horseflfsh and hu
mans will dash away for the finish
ing post.
Through the binoculars one miy
discern on U19 shadele3s expanse of:
Bpsom Downs a maelstrom of crouch-1
ing, straining, eager human forms,
frantic to get a glimpse of the in
visible steeds. They have cvme for
hundreds of miles, these faithful fans,
mniiiuiiiuniimmimmunmmiiiiHiin*
I to see the spectacle', and they have
! seen nothing of It. Wooden barriers
| imd great stretches of canvas bHntis
I rob them e.ven of a glimpse of the
j .whirltng stream of horses and jockies
I as they flash atround the circle. But
a curious telepathy tells them ■ of
the position of their favorites, and
they stand or fall by the result.

iSTO('K,HOL/M, June 6.—(By Asso

is now being perfected by the inven

tlio Swedish weather bureau.
Mr. Stiandatrom in an address just
delivered before the Swedish physics
Society declared ‘that polar explora
tion ought to be raised from the
level of hazardous sport to that of
■well-equipped scientific research. The
■explorer needs sw|ft and reliable
means of transportation, a depend
able plant for the preparation of j
food, a comfortable bed, a table at
which ito work, a dark-room for de
veloping photographs-, etc., and these
advantages arc ail provide d by tilt
new motor-sleigh.

It is planned to have similar niotor

Preliminary experiments with the
new motor-sleigh have been carried
on in deep snow near the town of
Doden in Northern Sweden.

has helped wonderfully. One small
