Four long chapters tells of the wars which ensued when the na- ‘ill/ifs Oblected to the presence of their marauding visitors; wars in which Turonus, a nephew of Brut's, "with his single sword slew no less than six hundred men"? they were good fighters, those tro- jansl But the Gauls kept calling up re-inforcements. while the losses among Brut's men could not be replaced, "he chose rather to retire to his ships while still fresh, and to set sail In quest of the is- land which the divine monitlon had prophesied should be his own.” At last, with a. prosperous wind, the fleet is wafted to the shores of Al- bion, and the crews land at Totnes, in the estuary of the Dart, in Dev- onshire.

(It may be noticed here that the poet Milton's "History of Britain" follows Geoffrey's Historic Begum fairly closely; the poet includes the divine monitlon alluded to above, and given In full in a previ- ous article in these Notes. Milton however, concludes that Diana over- slrot her Oracle when she ended the prophecy by vying that "to the race of Brut, Kings of this IJand, the whole Earth shall be subject")

At that time the name of the island was Albion, and only a few giants lived in it. The in- vaders drove the giants to the mountains, cast lots for the land. built houses and worked the fields. till 1n a. short time "yet might have thought it had been inhabited from time immemorial". To pre- serve the memory -of his own achievements “Brut calleth the is- land Britain, and his companions Britons, after his own name." The country speech which was afore- time called "Trojan or crooked (corrupted) Greek" was now called British.

Corineus on his part. called the

region which was alloted to him Cornwall, after his own name. (It was a foible of these early his- torians to draw such conclusions from very superficial evidence!) Geoffrey admits however that this region may have been named from being, as it is, the cornu or horn of Britain. It is certain that In the legends which have gather- ed mund the memory of this fam- ous warrior, we lliave the basis of all the nursery tales of Jack the Giant-Killer, — "for naught gave him greater pleasure than to fight with the giants of whom there was greater plenty there than in any of the provinces that had been shared amongst his comrades." These giants were only the abori- ginal people of the island, magni- fied to give the greater honor to their conquerors. Brut, now King of Britain, found- ed his capital city on the Thames and called it New Troy (‘Prlnovan- tum.) His descendant King Lud, brother of Cassibelaunus, he who fought against Caesar, re-named it Kaerlud, the City of Lud. after his own name. For the present we leave Brut in possession of his new Kingdom.

GLIIVIPSES 0F EARLY RACING

(C. E. MlcKenzle)

‘The ancient Greeks and Roma.‘ were as fond of racing a5 we are at. the present day. and the sporl was held by them in high honor.

In Rome the chariot riders were Efeﬂtly admired, and among the 6199115 8J- One time kings and

warriors were wont to dispute the different races ln person.

The Romans were the first to have jockeys and trainers. Caligula is said to have given for one win 2.000 sesterces ($74,000) to the celebrated Eutychus. At that epoch just as it was later, each stable

had its colors. At first jockeys were

slaves, but soon the highest per-

501181-185 of the State fulfilled the

llllncfrio". Rome had its gentlemen riders. It had also its jockey club. and in the Arena, the club box was- oppcsite Caesar's. Cups and plates were run for.

In‘ England and France it would be difficult to give the precise date 0f the institution of horse racing. At all times the English horse has been swath’ admired. The first regular races in England took place in the riegn of James I. The prizes then consisted of a gold or silver bell. which gave rise to the ex_ pression, ‘bearing away the bell." Protector Cromwell had a stable. and history of the turf speaks of his celebrated Arab horse. "White 'I‘urk." _

The York flat races were found- ed in 1711 under George I racing l-’°t l0 hi‘ quite flourishing. Dur- 1112 his reign appeared two of the

. most. famous horses the British turf has ever seen, Flying Childers and Eclipse. The first named served as a, hunter until he was six years old, and when he was started rac. 111k he was said to be one oi’ the finest flycrs human eye had ever witnessed. Eclipse for mP-ny years was considered to be the most elevated expression of the equine race. 'I‘his animal was foaied

One of the greatest treats new market has ever witnessed was on

April 17th. 1770 when the then noted racer Buccephaius was matched against the grand chest- nut Elclirxse. Neither horse had suf- fered defeat. and on this occasioni they ran a dead heat.

(All over the world. except in the United States, flowers are planted in front yards.
