on Epsom Downs It has been a moot question whether more persons see the Derby than the Grand Prix de Paris The transportation conditions are not the same as the French event is virtually run in the city of Paris while Epsom is not so close to the English metropolis metropolisWhen When it comes to a question of worldwide racing Interest the Derby ranks first Englishmen in every part of the globe eagerly await the cabled announcement of the event and pools or sweeps as they are termed beguile the tedium of many an exile To win the Epsom Derby is the ambition of every man who races thoroughbreds It is the most coveted of the worlds turf prizes and that most orderly and sedate institution the English house of commons has adjourned en the day it was run The most cosmopolitan crowd in the world probably turns out for it Those who go by road leave London in the early morn ¬ ing At the course king and commoner touch elbows No outdoor gathering in the world carries with it as varied interest and it is an ideal place to study human nature natureThe The Derby was first run for in 1780 when it was won by Sir C Bunburys Dlomed a horse that was afterward imported to this country and whose name appears in pedigrees of many of our best thoroughbred families familiesWhen When the late King Edward won it with Minoru In 1909 he established a record as he was the first sovereign cf England to win the honor which however as Prince of Wales he had experienced in 1S96 with Persimmon and four years later with that horses brother Diamond Jubilee Many peers of England have been successful in annexing it and Ameri ¬ can citizens have scored the first in 1S81 when Pierre Lorillards Iroquois was first home William C Whitney won in 1901 with Volodyovskl which he had leased and Richard Croker took the honor in 1907 with Orby a colt bred in Ireland from a daughter of the American sire Hanover The late Herman B Duryea was the last American to win the Derby He accomplished it with Durbar H in 1914 and Durbar IL like Orby had a heritage of Ameri ¬ can blood through his dam damHere Here is a brief tabulated history of tho worlds famous race from 1850 to date
