It ig stliL asserted in schoolbooks that ‘
cherries were Introduced to England |
by the “fruiterer” or greengrocer of
Henrvy VI1ILL; also, that they were not
common for n hundred year 3 after that
time, This 18 an-error. Mr, T"homas
Wright found the name In every one
of the Anglo-Saxon vocnbularies which
he edited. 8o common were they and
80 highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became a recognized
festival’-“cherry fair! or “feast.” And
fhis grew inté a proverbial expréssion
for flecting joys. Gower says the fri
ars taught that “life is but a clierye«
fiiyre,” and* Hepe ‘endureth but a
throwe, right as It were a herye
feate.” There,is more than one record
of the purchase of tread for the king's
garden at Westminster ceuturies be

hontradicted (e fable, ms #f lu pro

cullus firat brought cherries to Rome
(from Pontus, in 680 A, U, ¢\), he adds
that' fn the' course of 120 years they
have spread widely, “even passing

The First English Bookmaker.
Both the Derby and the Oaks owe
their vames to that Earl of Derhy who
kept a pack of staghounds near Epsom
during the last quarter of the eight
eenth century and resided at a hunt
g box called the Oaks. Fifty years
later a spiteful description of the Qaks
and ils jockeys was recorded in the
dlarvy of Charles Greville, In the re
port of the first Derby run the names
of five starters and of all the riders
are missing and there is no -betting
quotation,
As the earllest known bookmaker,
Vauxhatl Clarke, was hanged, not for
welshing, but for highway robbery,
betting on the race course could not
at that period have been a particularly
profitable profession. Jockeys did not
then possess their present princely sal
aries, but with n }oo of a guinea were

An unusual album was presented to
Willls Clark, brother of Lewis Gaylord
Clark, & poet, on one occasion, with
a request for “some rhymes."
Mr., Clark was at the house of n
farmer, and the man's ‘daughter had
turned an old account book into an
autograph album in whiclr were in
scribed the names of her various
friends and relatives below appropriate
sentiments,
Mr. Clark saw his opportunity, and
after turning over the leaves for a mo
ment or two he took a pen and wrote
the following verse:

Moore, having been burnt once, would not stick his fin
