ORIGIN OF THE TERM "BLUE RIB-

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-

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-
