+ + CHIEF RACE OF ENGLAND AND OF THE WORLD AS WELL + A Race of all races is the Epsom Derby. Its liistory for more than a century has Iieen a not unimportant pan of tic history of England. Parliament adjourns in honor of the day of its decision and from the king ■own iu all gradations of society every loyal Briton who can do so is present to hail the victor. Where-i iit the gallant thoroughbred is known an Epsom Derby winner is deemed chief among horses and proud Is the man who can exult ill the possession of the victor in a struggle for the Blue Ribband of the Turf. The one hundred and thirty-first Derby will lie run one week from next Wednesday. It promises to lie a sensational contest. The unexpected defeat of Biyardo in the Two Thousand deposed him from the BeUV tlan of favorite and gave that place to King Edwards Mitioru. Still Bnyardo nss a host of admirers who think lie was not entirely fit when he m t his first defeat and that he will redeem himself in the Derby. Then the American crack. Sir Martin, has la en heavily backed and the certainty that he will start gives an International tinge to the great race and will make the result almost as impatiently awaited in this country as in England itself.
