TODAYS RACE WHICH ENGAGES THE RAPT INTEREST OF ALL ENGLAND 4, 4, This afternoon an enormous throng of people will assemble on Kpsom Downs to view the one hundred ami thirty-second running of the Epsom Derby. The king ami the queen, their entourage and eillicials and dignitaries of England and all the nations of continental Burope will be a part of the- vast niultituile. Quite different was the running of the lirst Derby In far away 17S l. Then hut a small gathering of e-eiuntry ge n-tknaea Cheered the triumph of Dtasaed over eight coinpetitors. Uttle elre-aming that the modest sweepstakes for three-year-olds they hail founded and brought to its first decision that day was destined to continue anil become in time the most famous and greatly Coveted race of the wide world. But such it is beyond con-troveray. It is worth noting here that when an old bone toe lirst Derby winner. Dioaned, was imported to irginia and founded a line of thoroughbreels that long dominated the American turf, but has practically become extinct in the male line. Unite a number of other Derby winners have found their way to the Foiled States from time to time, tin latest being Mr. Aagaat l.ilmouts Boe-k Sand. The most illustrious of all of these importations was the nnbeaten Ormonde, considered by many the best race horse of all turf history. The only American bred winner of the Derby, Iroquois, was returned to the land of his nativity and lit came a successful sire, leading tin- American stallion list in 1803. For many years the F.psom Derby vvas solely a sweepstakes, with its value to the winner dependent upon the number of entries received. Naturally this was a fluctuating value, but since 1002 the Derby has had a lixeel guarantee that returns the winner the comfortable sum of 2,250.
