Wé will suppose that each animal runs throughout at the great- est speed of which it is capable, and that they don't interfere with each other, First of all the field. Some animals --such as cattle--are, obviously, too slow tw stand a ghost of a chance, and 80 we will line up the following ten starters: Hare, lion, roebuck, grey- hound, horse, giraffe, elephant, kan- gare, dromedaty, and ostrich--the ast-named because, although a bird, he runs, and rans mighty fast, too, + Indeed, here it may as well be said that, if you want to win meney on an ehimal rece, you back "the ostrich every time, for he is the fastest thing on land, and only one bird can beat him--namely, the swallow, The ost- rich, then, would win our animal Derby with the greatest possible ease, for he would cover the 1 mile 4 fur- longs and 29 yards of the Derby course ral the amazing speed of 109 miles an | hour--that is, nearly three times as fast as any horse ever foaled could do it, end, roughly, twice as fast as any other competitor among those named. I'he record time for the Derby was made in 1966, when Major Loder's Spearmint won in 2 minutes 36 4-5th seconds. © The ostrich would take, | roughly, 43 seconds. But who would be second? Prob- ably the kangaroo will have "a good many sdherents, for, outside Atstra- lia, people have the idea that the kangaroo hops along at a tremendous pace. But the kangaroo would finish y 'down the course," absolute last! | A kangaroo ig a slow animal, 712 miles an hodr "being his best speed. For second place, it would be a fairly close fight between the greyhound and the roebuck. A greyhound can go nearly a mile a minute--64 miles an hour, to be exact--and this would just bring him home ahead of the ree- uck, whose best speed is a trifle over 50 miles an hour, Now, for fourth place. The hare seems a likely choice; but again you would be wrong. A lion. can give a hare a start and a beating. A lion is capable of 46 miles An hour, but the hare is fully extended at 4 miles an hour less. What about the horse? Well, 38 miles an hour is the thoroughbred's limit, and that brings him into sixth place. Bpearmint won his Derby at | the rate of, roughly, 386 miles an hour, i but a horse is capable of 38 miles an hour over a short distance. { + Not far behind the thoroughbred would come the giraffe, who gets along 3 she "useful" gait of 34 miles an r. Then would tome a big gap! closed would come trumpeting sedate 18 miles an hour. The dromedary's' speed, too, is a myth. Mr. G. E. Larner, the amateur walking champion, would make the drom step out, for the beast .is { not up to.more than about 9 miles an hour, and Mr. Larner has walked 9 miles in 67 minutes 37 45 seconds. And so the final placings of our ' animal Derby would be--ostrich, grey- hound, roebuck, lion, hare, horse, giraffe, elephant, dromedary, kan- garoo, % 3 along at a : Use of Royal Highness. Thé London apres learns that the style of Royal Highness will shortly be conferred on the brothers of Mary--the Duke of Teck, Prince Fran- cis of Teck, and Prince Alexander of Teck. At present their style is Serene Highness. The late Duke of Teck was { Erphted the style of Highness in 1887. The Teck family belongs to | Royal House of Wurtemberg, and the present Duke of Teck oul be King of Wurtemberg now but for the mor- gantic maeri contracted by his grandiather, Alexander Duke of Wur« temberg, who married, in 1836, Clau- dius Countess de Rhedcy, a member of the Polish nobility. The Duke of Teck, Queen Mary's eldest brother, is married to Lad y | Margaret Grosvenor, a sister of the Duke of Westminster. Prince Frances of Teck, her second brother, who is one of the best-known men in London, is unmarried. Prince A third Albany. Echo of the Rebellion. W. J.

'out being struck by the number of persons unofficially connected with the game who appear to he reaping a rich barvest out of it.' Vendors of sweets sandwiches, and cheap litera- tare are 'most frequently met with; but one well-dressed gentleman used to frequent Lord's with a huge big erammed with field-glasses, which he let out at sixpence each for the game. Craig, "the Surrey Poet," is said to have made as much by the sale of his tropical ¢ ggerel during the sea- son as 'many & novelist does by his books; and al London artist found a way to pop notiée in his Jong days by doing lightning caricatures ¢ famous players in ¢ istic atti- tudes on the ground, and then putting them up for auction during the lanch+ eon interval. More eurious was an old soldier's device for earning money during the cricket season on one of the 'Midland grounds. To a consid- erable section of the crowd the scor- ing-hoard is invisible, and he there fore took up a Jost where he could view every detail of the game, which he announced in a loud voiog to the crowd in return for many trifle they cared to drop inte hiv. hat on the conclusion of the game. Other ruses are to take camp-stools, whidl are readily hired to stand upon by thdse forming the outer fringe at a big match; to bowl to gentlemen cricketers al the nets, the latter often placing coins on stumps, to go te the bowler clever eno to beat the bat; to obtain and sell to enthus- of famous play- ers; and to beg for the return passes of gentlemen leaving early in the day, and dispose of them to later arrivals. A shrewd Yorkshiteman used to make money on the northern grounds by exhibiting a clever parrot, that not only knew names of the principal players, but would ery, at appropriafe times: "Well fielded, sir!" "Bang it over the grand stand!" and "Bowl the biggat out!

It's an ill wind that blows. nobody , and the death 3 4 monarch puts money into the pockets of thous. ands. Thosé¢ who profit most largely by such an event are the seat-mongers on the line of the funeral procession. The value put upon seats is glways rising. When Edward 1 became king a farthing was charged for a seat to see the coronation procession. On the accession of Richard II. the price rose to 1d.; and from Henry V.'s corona. tion to Henry VII's it was 2d. By the time. Charles II. was crowned it had up to 2s. 6d.; while exactly dou as much (5s.) was raid a. the coronation of William III. Then the value of seats on such occasions ap- preciated enormously. To see the procession when George III. was crowned half a guinea was paid; and sightesers on : days cheerfully paid five and in some | eases ten guineas. This was consider- ed the climax, but the value put on seals in liter days has been Mach greater. : Why the enormous rise? The main reason, so far as our own times are | concerned, is that wealthy Indians, | Americans, ther foreign visitors have been willing ¥0 pay anything for a seat 0 witness a slate . Hence. the value has been inflated. The present high scale was set at Queen Vietoria's Jubilee, when large sums were paid for rooms from the windows of which the procession could be seen. Few rooms, however small, could be hired for less than 10 guineas, and for many 150 guineas was demanded and paid. A laige building on the route, being empty, was secured for the day by an enter- prising individual for 1,000 guineas, and he had no reason to repent his outlay. : On the occasion of Queen Victoria's funeral the Jubilee rate for seats was confirmed. In St. James' street £10 had to be paid for a .single chair, while seats which a few days before the procession were for 3 guineas afterwards fetched b guineas. A window which let when Lord Roberts came home for £310 found a hirer at £400 on the occasion of the Queen's funeral. As it will hold only Gifty people at the utmost, the hirer must have charged pretty heavily for every seat in it. Again, some rooms in Piccadilly let for as much as 300 guineas. High as these figures are, however, they were surpassed in several in- stances. The most remarkable "deal" |; the funeral was | in connection with that of a gentleman who took a man- sion near the for the am A the pri agein a royal progress, the price of sests was equally high. In South London some lords evicted ten- ants that they might obtain windows forthe function, and received more for a single day's occupancy of a part of their premises than get in normal' circumstances for use of the whole for a year, Others, how- ever, let their tenants make as much as possible on the occasion, with the result that many strenuous workers sums by letting their sum of £1,600! 1 by a landlord near the Marble Arch to guable some Amariesns 10 view te uneral procession ing on i way to Paddington.
