Each woman dreases herself and her children according to her own ideas of what is beautiful, fit aud becoming, regardless of any but gen-ralrules. Of course, if her bonnets are large. they are not the calashes of forty yeara ago, but they may be Galnesboroughs, pokes, §3psies, coal-scuttles, Mother Hubbards or Quakers, 8ud trimmed just as sue chooses; and if they are small hats they may be Fancnons, babies, turbans, cottages, Normandys, Glen- garys or Scotch caps.” ‘THE Dxgss of the most fastidious fashionab! women—those who have the money to spead for it—is the Spanish lace dress, etther black o: white.

The Greatest Race of the Year—The Crowds ihe Enthusiasm, What Christmas and Fourthoft July would be if the festivities of both cou’d be put in one, Derby day—or “Darby,” as the Englisa pronounce it—is to all ranks, conditions, ages and sexes in England. From-Derby day to Derby day the minds of the whole population, fufantile as well as adult, are fixed upon the favorite. For weeks before the day allusions to the coming event fill the comic and serious papers; the concert halissing and joke the ex- ted polnts; lists of the doings of the several jorses are issued in careful bulletins; ‘batting books” are opened tn public places. Even in the heat and turmoil of war the Derby Is for its season atopic of more thrilling interest than the loss of batties er the winning of cam- paigns. Unless one has been in England dur- ing Derhy week it is fairly impossible to get a realizing sense of the intensity and untver- sality of the interest taken by all classea. Parilament adjourns fori4e day. Bus'yes3 in L ondon 1s suspended; a! occupations take a holiday and the streets of a metropy'ts of 4,000,000 of people show & perceptibie thinatnz out. Special trairs run from London on six or eight Ines at, inverva's of ten minutes, from six In the mor until the hou of the race. But the wonderful spectacles of the day are the lovely green lanes and splendid, smoorh hichways through Surrey to Epsom Downs, tae reco track. Scores of roads lead from Loudon to Epsom, and the route is between fifteen and seventeen miles. The turnouts are as varied asthe men who take part. Every concelvabie vehicle ts brought tuto play for the day. ‘ae omnibus companies strip their stables; the various wagons i trade are impressed, down even to the costermonger's carts. It ts a day of thorough democracy. ‘The duke in his magnitl- Cent coach, with eight and ten horses, or the swell with his swag tandem, takes good-humor- edly the pills and powder pelted at him by the uproarious company. The drive is simply Pan- demontum, 80 far ie ts and sounds (34 Everybody is good-natured; the men are velled and the women are ar eckecten Seatase the whole- sale destruction of finery that an hour's ride Would involve if exposed to the jocose merry- makers, Sometimes the roadway Is quite choked, a long "ne of vehicles, of infinite form, color and condition, standing tn line, the occu- pants “chaufling”each other and waging a battie royal with their squirtguns and other imple- ments of a grotesquely offensive character. Around the hats of the men are suspended long gauze Velis, covering face, neck and bosom.and as the coaches whirl over the smooth road the sight ts like a witches’ revel or a frolic of mad- men. Standing on the hillat Epsom, the whole horizon ts dark with clouds of dust, those who have been wise managing to get on the ground in the cool of the morning before the rush fills the road and renders travel an adventure hardly less serious than a promenade through contending armies tn battle. ‘The ecene on the Derby is such a spectacle ag no other time or nation witnesses. “Downs” is a great naked plain risiag to the center, where the race course Is laid out on a bi nearly regular piateau. The grand stand is at the northern end of a vast ellipse. ‘The course is two miles for running and trom the grand stand the entire filgbt of the horses can beseen. The great crowd ts packed in the center of the course, the admission being fixer at a shilling—twenty-five cents. The grand stand ts divided into compartments, the Prince of Wales generally occupying the center, with 113 suite and the court. ‘I'ne joily Prince, how- ever, refuses to confine himself to any fixed place. He moves about taking beta with demo- cratic Indiscriminativeness. Not the least ani- mating part of the spectacle for a stranger 1s to watch the betting which goes onin a jargon fairly unintelligible to any one who is not a rcgular habitue. As to show, the whole affair is marked by the English disregard for the merely theatrical. The only fanciful colors geen are on the backs of the jockeys, who are in all cases sight in figure and meagre in flesh. Until the start they assembie im groups, giving their horses little spurts to try their’ mettle, the crowd cheering clamor- Qualy as a horse makes some unexpected time or frisks viciously with hig rider. To the rega- lar Epsom visitor each horse 1s known by iis colors, and the favorites as they prance out on the green sward are saluted with roars of do- ght. When everything is ready the bell is sounded at the grand stand. There are cer- tain advantages in position, which are awarded by lot. Long before the fateful signal the multitude, never under a quarter of a mli- lion if the weather be fair, is in a fever of expectation. When the cavalcade Is drawn Up abreast the shouts and. murmurs die out. The betting is suspended for a mo- ment. Everybody cranes eagerly forward, The lucky jockey who secures une favored position is saluted with a terpest of acclamation and then the betting anew. The horses as they stand at the bar seem to understand what 1s expected of them. They cease curveting. Every exertion 1s suspended and they fatriy show that they comprehend the necessity of reserving thelr muscies for the two-mile flight that 1s to make or mar them—to fill their backers’ pockets or empty them. The prepara- tory signals have been sounded; the fluat wlic« Strikes; the barrier 1s thrown astde; the group shoot off like a flash. ‘Then there is an ny of suspense. Millions of money are dependant upon the mettie of the beasts aud the men who ridethem. As the Cloud disappears it 13 almost tmpozsthie to dis- Unguish the lithe figures of the jockeys. Taney coop tar forward until they seem part of the animals’ necks.

Pressed clos? to the long, arched neck of the beast as it strains every muscle to a paintul tension, they supplement thetr fran le action by voice as well as body. Th crowd, meanwhile, keeps up a continuous whirlwind of cheers, until the air ia.a tumuit so wild that it impossible to think. Every interest ig centered on the group as it nears tho grand stand. The jockeys redouble the fervor of their action add gesticulation. Within ee twenty paces of the end a horse that fas been in the rear slides up, with long, lignt- ning-like strides to the front, displaces the leader, takes the inside and shoots like a me- feor under the bar—the victow Thea the thun- der of sound redoubles, Millions of men ani women ali over the mm are richer or Poorer. The telegraph flashes the news to every part of the realm, and the Derby 1s done. ‘Then Comes the breaking up. In a ek the scene changes. The compact masses that covered the green sw Scatter; the grand stand thins out; the green waste of the dowas is covered with a muiti- tude rushing to the trains, to the town, to the vehicles massea along the edge ot the downs. The roads Londonward ar2 again & maPs of good-natured people, just asthe fortunes ‘of the day may have gone with them. The'ide to the downs 1s always distinguished by comparative go- riety, but the nomeward hegira is like a world of Malays running a muck. Bottiea of beer and stronger beverages are released from the capacious pockets of the coaches, and the Joust that began io sobriety ends in the utmost excesses of bacchanalian orgie. Until long tato the night, and even daylight, the mass strea homeward, the ratlr sending enormous ‘trains at intervals of ten minutesor an haif hour Curing the densest rush of the throng. But no mere language can give an idea of th> crowds, their merrymaking or the horse-play euffered good-naturedly by all classes of peo- ple. The day 1s the event of the year, and upon it the English world expends all’ the Savinys and frugalities of an absterfilous year. PHILADELPHIA’S HORSE. Foreign Winners of the Derby— Agistides Welch and His Favorite, Iroquois. ‘Twenty-one years ago Richard Ten Broeck— who, by the way, was the first American Sportsman who tock race horses from this country to England—started his colt Umpire, by Lexington, dam Reel, for the Derby. The American colt was a great favorite and the in- terest in the race was widespread. Umpire, however, talled to get a place, and his owner and backers were greatly disappointed. In 1575 M. H. Sanford sent a string of racers to Eng- Jand, and his colt Brown Prince starved for tue Derby in 1si7, but was unplaced.

In 1865 Count F. de Lagrange's great horse Gladlateur won the race from a fieki Of thirty. ‘Ten years later Prince Batthyany’s Galopin captured the stakes from eighteen op- ents, and in 1876 A.

The merits of Leamington as a sire were Breatly valued by all svortsmen, and Pierre Lorillard had such faith in his produce that he sent Iroqaois, Pawpaw, Paroie, Love Chese ard Pappoose to Eogland.

At that time “Boasting” was a popular game of cards, and when some ore suggested “Boast- ing” as ahame for the colt Mr. Long adopted the suggestion. 1n a year orso “Boasting” was by the pubiie abbtreviated to “Boston,” and un- der that title the horse won fame and money and became the head of America’s greatest fam- iy of running uo‘ses, ROMANCE OF MAGGIE B. 5, ‘The name of the mother of Iroquois brings to the surface quite an interest‘ng romance. It appears that young Tames Clay, a grandson of Henry Clay, was deeply in love with Miss Maggie B. Beck, a daughter of Senator Beck, of Krtacky, and in h's admiration for bis sweet- hee i he ‘christened his favorite racing filly Meggie B. B. The marriage of young Clay aud Mi-s Beck was oppos:d by their relatives and she afterwards married the nephew of W. W. Co. coran, the millionaire banker of Washing- ton. Young Clay, after losing his sweetheart, turned all his attention to her equine name- sale, and when a resident of the blue grass country wished to express the power of his love for anything he wes in the habit of saying he loved “like Jim Clay loved Maggie B. B.” Miss Beck went to Washington, where she be- came a society belle, but her heaith tatled shortly after leaving Kentucky and she died a few months later. Maggie B. B., after winning a number of Taces, was retired to Mr. Welch’s paddock, at Erdenheim, where she became the mother of maby such fleet-footed runners as Harrold and Iroquois. MR. WELCH’S GLADNESS. Iroquois wes from his birth a favorite with Mr. Welch, his breeder, and that gentleman was very enthusiastic ever the victory yester- day. “Oh,” sald Mr. Welch, ashe wiped the p spiratioa from his hearty-looking face, ‘I always knew Iroquo!s would make nls mark. A greatcolt? Well, I should say he ts. A few days before my sate of year'ings in 1879 Pierre Lorillard visited Chestnut Hill for the purpose of looking over the young ones, I pointed out Iroquois, but he said, ‘I don’t like his looks.’ I said he was big and strong and without a blemish in wind, limb or body. Mr. Lorillard didn’t "ke him much. but he bought him.” Here Mr. Welch brightened up. “Yes, ‘sir; he took Endl udgment and bought that colt, but be only paid $1,000 fur him. I sold twenty Colts and filltes that spring and they averaged —lemme see, well, something over $1,000 a Piece, but Iroquois was the best of the lot, the y best of em. After Pierre sent Iroquois to Evglard, I went to George Lorillard, his brother, you know, and wanted him to buy the colt back, but by that time the trainer began to think well of him and my chauce was gone. I offered $3,000 to get the colt back, bat 1t couldn’t be done. Maybe it’s all for the best, though, for he migbtn’t have won tne Der! forme.

Hestood and gazed at his adversary, who was more embold- ened than ever. “1 think youre a damne coward,” he yelled, “and I'm going to knock your head off,” and so saying the “Memphis Terror” advatced to the conilict, Bowie never fiinmched.

The sight of Bowie standing there, with the knife in bis hand and the gleam of vengeance in nis eye, was too much for “The Terror.” From the vouncing bully he became trans- tormed into a craven coward in asecond. His face turned pale and his knees trembled, while the dirk dropped from his hands as he gazea oa Bowie's weapon with staring eyes. “Put it up: put atvay that scyte, for God’a sake, Bowle. I was mistaken in my man.” Bowle advanced a step. “Don’t—doa’t kill me!” beseeched the bully; ‘The New Vers! The religious press treats the revised version of the New Testament with caution and dic. crimination. The Presbyterian and Congreza- Uonal journals are the most outspoken in ap- proving it. The Baptist press is reticent, Several prominent papers elther not flading space or not having the fnclination to attempt a critical estimats, The fact that certain Greck Words which are ded as denominational tests of exceptional Value are not transiated in the Baptist way may account for -this back- wardness. The Baptist Weekly publishes in prominent ty pe a letter in which Dr. Kendrick, a8 a represer tative of the denomination in the American ccmmittee, asked to explain how he could give his co-operation, endorse- ment and “moral support” to’ such a Tevision of the commen version as this Jearned “‘unsectarian committee” has made at Rev. xix., 13; where, “for the falthful render- ing and sublime diction of our fathers’ Bible, ‘he was clothsd with a vesture dip) in blood,’ we are asked io substitute the lower ex- pression and false reading of this high-crested Tevision, *he is arrayed In a garment sprinkled with blood.’ The veriest tyro in Greek knows that ‘iebammenon’? does not ‘nify ‘sprin- led,’ and the most ordfnary scholar who is at all verced In textual c1.ticism knows that the ‘errantismenon’ of Orrigen 1s not sup by any adequate authority. Dr. Roberts, who. in a volume of over two hurdred pages, professes to give the reasons for tue changes made on the authorized version.rnakes no mention whatever of this change.” The Methodist press accepts the new version as tho best that can be had under the present conditions of scholarsulp and civilization. The Unitarian view ts ex pressed by the Rev, Jas, Freeman Clarke at er tLis terse fashion: “We have got rid of ag deal of chaff, but we have not got rid of The Roman Catholic press disdains to criti it, but contents itself with referring to it as a piece of patch work.
