F-8 RESOR King’s Sport Abundant on Foreign Turf Horses Have Big Role in Drama of Life in Europe. ‘WEEPSTAKES may be the only race which some Americans hear about from Europe, but for longer years than one has time to reckon thousands of travelers have gone from the United States to Europe annually for the sake of the horses. Aintree, where the Grand National will be run March 29; Epson and Goodwood in England, and Long- champs, Enghien, Auteuil, St. Cloud in France, are more famous to horse- lovers than Stratford-on-Avon or Ver- sailles are to the average traveler. In Italy it's the races at San Siro, in Milan, at the Villa Gloria and the Capanelle Hippodrome in Rome, or those at the Arcoveggio in Bologna that fill the trains of the pilgrim's peninsual with the atmosphere of the turf. Almost every other day, frequently on Sundays, from March until No- vember, the race tracks of Europe are crowded. Not only the tourist-haunted lands. but also those off the beaten track, provide these international thrills. As far away as Greece, at Phaleron, suburb of Athens, the races g0 on At Copenhagen, in little Denmark: at Budapest, in Hungary, horse racing is a national pastime. Vienna is as proud of its derby, late in May, as Londoners are of theirs, held June 5. Horse racing in Ireland is the sport of all the people. Phoenix Park, Cur- ragh, Baldoyle, Proudstown Park, Tramore—these are names to conjure with on the turf of the Emerald Isle. Dublin claims the oldest horse show in the world, held this year from Au- gust 6 to 10. NOT only in races, but also in a variety of picturesque forms. the horse plays a notable part in the Eu- ropean drama of life. One might as well come to Washington and miss the ‘White House as to go to Vienna and not see the performances of the Span- ish Riding School, given every Sun- day. except during the two months of July and August. For generations 1t has put on costumed exhibitions of | equestrian skill unequaled anywhere in the world. As for horse-laughs, Padstow, in ‘Wales, and Minehead, in England, pro- vide these in plenty on May day, when villagers carry a “hobby-horse’ through the streets. In Padstow the hobby-horse is a fearsome creature, but Minehead's celebration lasts the longer. If people do not throw coins into the money box for it the hobby- horse sprouts a long tail of rope to chide them. COWBOYS roamed in Europe before America was discovered, and even today the gypsy riders on the Ca- margue, in the south of France, and the plainsmen of the Hortobagy, in Hungary, are quite as picturesque as the cowboys of the United States. Every year on the festival of the Holy Maries, one of whom is the saint of the gypsies—May 24 in 1935—the | horsemen of the Camargue put on a | regular “Wild West” show that would | make Buffalo Bill envious. Instead of | having bullfights, they first pin a| rosette to the bull and then attempt to snatch it off. Later they demon- | strate their skill in separating a par- ticular beast from a full herd. | In late Spring, Hungarian cowboys | and horsemen round up their herds and flocks for the great market the last week of June. On this occasion they doff their everyday costumes and dress in elaborately embroidered cloaks, with enormous collars and sleeves. For those who delight in horse pageantry, golden with medieval trap- pings, Siena has its famous bare- back races around the Piazza del | Campo on July 2 and again on August 16. Before the race groups in dazzling costumes parade, waving flags and | now and then tossing them wildly in | the air. Afterward the winning horse | is led to the Church of the Madonna | del Provenzano, and the merrymaking in the town continues long into the night. — Jubilee Affects Styles. LONDON. March 16.—Dressmakers | in London and Paris are now | sure that the royal jubilee celebra- tions are going to bring back many of the most attractive features in the fashions which were popular in the Victorian days. Styles for the coming Summer will undoubtedly idealize the English beauties of half a century ago, with plenty of curls, frills and furbelows. | ‘The Lily Langtry type will be among | the styles forging to the front. Forty years ago the “Jersey Lily’—as she | was called—inspired the modes for the Ascot races and many other social events. The same styles will be cur- rent with many this year at the Ascot races in June. in the fashions of yore, with curls bunched on the forehead and at the nape of the neck. Bonnets to suit will be worn. Dresses will be long and full. London dressmaker said: “One of my models contains 60 yards of tulle. Another has 110 yards of horsehair. I have designed a sim- One ple navy frock which is woven with | 1,200 tassels. “‘Off-the-shoulder modes, with large frills and very full, gath- ered skirts trailing on the ground, | will bring back memories of bygone days. Sunshades will have long han- dles tied with satin bows. Skirts of organdie or other flimsy matgrials will rustle over stiff taffeta petti- coats.” Symbolic of the ceremonial func- tions are the heraldic fleurs-de-lis used to button the coat and buckle the belt of a black frock. The dress :'-; a collar of leaves of silver-plated Just what men will wear is being widely debated, but the white derby is coming into prominence. The cutaway coat is also trying to crowd to the fore. It is hoped that early May will tell the tale, although men are always a bit slow to pick up new fashions. Jubllee day, May 6, will be fashion's outstanding day. Hotel Buys Cedar Lodge. AMILTON, Bermuda, March 16.— Cedar Lodge, one of the most pop- ular of Bermuda guest houses, has been purchased by the Inverurie Hotel, to be operated as an annex.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 16.—From the shores of Okee- chobee, from Caloosahatchee trails, from the fastness of Big Cypress and | the camps of Musa Isle, the Seminoles are coming, with their squaws and | their papooses, their medicine men and braves, for the sun dance ritual, beginning March 19. As in the years before the white | man came, the Seminoles will cele- brate the coming of the Spring under the guidance of Medicine Man Charlie Billy. The rites include a game similar | to modern base ball, feats of physical | prowess and re-enactment of aborig- | inal warfare | A dozen huge dugout canoes, each | carrying a score of braves, are being assembled along the inland water- | ways and lakes. They'll be paddled down the canals to Lake Worth where | a marine battle, as in the days before | the Spanish conquerers, will be staged with a modern background of palatial Palm Beach yachts. Some of the hardier braves will wrestle with a 10-foot alligator as a part of the sports program. The pale-face friends of the Semi- noles will give a historical pageant depicting Florida under five flags from | the days of the Spanish invaders to | its inclusion in the Union.

Work will progress rapidly in the Laurentian Mountains district, the Gaspe Peninsula, and in the neigh- | borhood of Quebec City and Montreal. | New highways are planned to open new territories to pleasures of Summer vacationists. | The vanguard of visitors is already appearing here and is joining in the closing events of the Winter sports season.

IT IS a remarkable tribute to the literary realism of Dumas that. | involuntarily, he had convinced thousands that his novel is based, in | part, on real history. In truth, to most of the tourists who visit the Cha- teau d'If, Monte Cristo is much more of a reality than Mirabeau or Philippe Egalite, who really did occupy prison cells there. Mirabeau is rather obscure and vague to them, while Monte Cristo is vivid, palpitating, real: and so they insist on visiting the cell where he was supposedly incarcerated: they stand on the spot (or think they do) where the grave-diggers flung the sack (Containing Monte Cristo, who had substituted himself for the dead body of the Abbe Faria) across the battle- ments into the sea. One of the cha- teau’s chief attractions is its pocition at the very threshold of the Europe- Orient ocean traffic.
