ENGLAND IS FLOCKING TODAY

HISTORIC RAGE! GOOD ENTRIES
* ' • r . •
BULLETIN—EPSOM DOWNS, June
6.—'Papyrus, owned by P. Irish and
ridden by the veteran jockey, Steve
Oonoghue, today won the historic
Derby stakes. Pharoh, owned by
Earl Derby, was second, Parthn,
owned by M. Goculda, was third horse
to cross the line. The race was worth
$25,000 to the winner. The odds were
100 to 15 egainst Papyrus.
HPSOM DOWNS, England, June 6.
—‘(By Associated Press.)—All Eng
land prepared tor the Derby, the em
pire’s greatest turf event, which will
be run hr-Te today. This year's race
promises to maintain all the finest
traditions of past Derbies.
A field of nearly 30 horses will con
tend for the Blue Ribbon and the rich
stakes. (No American owned horses
will participate, but George Archi
bald, the American jockey, will ride
one of the English favorites. In oth
er great turf events Archibald has
piloted scores of horses to victory.
Jn last years' Derby he brought the
three-year-old St. Louis within a few
lengths of the winner. Tills year he
•Is expected to show to better ad
vantage on account of his improved
Jockeyship. his familiarity with Eng
lish race courses, and his better tin
*1 r.« nding of British-trained horses.
Derby Big Event
No event in all the world is so
deer to' the heart of the English
jrpoi . ving public as the Derby. For
n'43 years this famous turf classic
has brought out all the finest horse
flesh in the British Isles and has
famished thrills to mighty congre
gations of people from the time of
Charles 111- to the present. There fs
nothing In the United States to com
■pare to It in size or the alAiost sacred
regard in which it is held by the
pBblic. The English race-goer would
consider it a sacrilege to miss a
Derby.
iPrinted words can give no true re
flection of the vivid and variegated
scenes attending the Derby. Not even
a world’s series of baseball in the
United States provokes such a car
nival spirit among the people. Let
the American reader select a gTeat
green area in the hille of his native
state, .and let him mark out a race
course accommodating 500,000 per
sons. Let him portray a series of
rtcMjr verdued hills surrounding the
track and making it a great natural
amphitheater. In this vast greens
ward : hundreds of thousands of peo

BERLIN SUBWAY SHYLOCKS TRY
TO WOO THEIR FICKLE MONEY

'one day to another— indeed, from one

i he runs 19 to a money-chnuglng booth
at almost every turn, even In the
midway promenade, and driving sec
tion of the boulevards,
j Now an enterprising Shylnek has
| hit upon the happy idea of setting
j up exchange shops at transfer points
on the underground and elevated
railways. The logic is simple: The
alert business man enters his honu
station and buys u morning paper; he
incls tho mark is rising, or falling;
iis office may bo a half hour away,
oo far Vo permit keeping pace with
he exchange; at the transfer point
le can sell “short” it necessary, or
>uy at a libera! margin, without the
lecessity of awaiting his train's ar
ival down town
The first of these new establish
nents to put in an appearance Is at
he metropolitan sub-division of
ttohoeneberg. where trains from the
asbionuble West Knd meet those
