Both of these ancient an- nual struggles attraet Britons by the hundreds of thousands. A few peo- ple pay to see them from favored vantage places, but the great major- ity enjoy the spectacles for nothing. At the. Derby most of the specee® tors see the horses only for a few hundred yards, so dense is the mass of howling humanity inside the undu- lafing horseshoe-shaped track of turf. At the boat race all but the privileged fow must be satisfied with seeing the crews of Oxford and Cambridge only for a fleeting moment or two of the® eighteen to twenty minutes they struggle with every nerve and muscle up the bending course of the Thames from Putney bridge to Mortlake, a little over four and a quarter miles. Yet the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands who witness these sport- Ing spectacles go to their favorite spots hours before the faces and stand patiently waiting for a few moments’ thrill, There is the story of the cockney at the Derby who never catches sight of the horses because of taller men in front of him, There ought to be a story of a patient man who goes out to the curving banks of the Thames carly on boat race morning to wait for the race, and then, just when the sweeping cars come into his view around a bend, his great moment is |wiped out of s life by a speck of |dirt blowing into his eye. | Whether the weather be fair or foul makes little difference in the size of the cheerful, patient erowds of a | halt million souls or £0 who wateh the Derby and the boat race, They take sandwiches and ginger beer and wm- brellas with them when they leave home. There are plenty of “pubs” {along tha sides of the ‘Thames fo |auench the thirsts of those who fecl lucky enough to cdge away from their chosen places of view to entcr |the enticing frosted-glass doors. | Inside “The Duke's Head" or “The |Lion,” or “The Prince of Wales" or {*Duke of York" there i1s something | warming if the day be cold ayd gray, land dool heakers of beer §f the sun | shines with warmth, which s un- [likely, The barmaids along the | Thames just west of London are never /%0 busy ns on boeat race day.
