ORIGIN OF THE TERM "BLUE RIB-

.£ BON." 'i

How many persons kno-w why the

designation “blue ribbon" came to be applied to turf meetings and other things? li. was given to u. turf perfor- mance by the late English statesman. Disraeli. The day- after the Derby of 1848. sixty-eight years ago, Dihraeli met Lo-rd George' Bentick in the libra- ry of the House of Cominons. the pic- ture of iniser._v and despair. The Nu- poleou of the turi' limi been trying all his life without nvnil to win ilie Derbyf und had failed, and he hud the uiortiil- cation' of seeing his horse. Surplice,

stud only a,_ few weeks previous, carry oil' the coveted prize, but in anot_lier‘s ownership. Such- is the irony off i’até..‘

wliich he had sold with the rest of his~

second and on the twenty-fourth, his horse, Surplice. which he had parted with among the rest of his stud. sole- ly that lie might pursue without dis- traction his labors on ibehalf of the great interests of the country, had won tiiut paramount and Olympian stakc-, to gain which 'had been the ob- ject of his life. He had nc-thing tn console him and nothing to sustain him except his pride. _ Even that de- serted him before a heart which he knew :it least could yield him sympa- thy. . ‘All my life I have been trying for tbl-=. and for what have I sacrificed it?" he murmured.

“ ‘You do not know what the Der-

by is!' he moaned. "Yes, I do; it is the blue ribbon of the turi’.' “ ‘lt_ is the blue ribbon of the turf,” he

‘sluwlyrepeated to himself, and, sit-

his hands, and his counteiiance_, was greatly disturbed. On the twenty-
