KING’S DERBY DINNER
WOMAN WINNER NOT PRESENT. STILL FOR - MEN ONLY. (United Press Association.- —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received June 3, 1.10 p.m. LONDON, June 2. Her sex debarred Mrs Aliller from tasting the highest honour due to tho owner of a Derby winner; she did not attend the- King’s dinner because it is traditionally for men only. She did not hear the King propose her health, which the Jockey Club members drank with the heartiest goodwill. However, Airs Aliller says she will never forget the invitation to the Royal box after the race, where she was congratulated by Their Alajesties. The success of Midday Sun will be the turning point for the jockey, Alichael Beary, who is fighting hard to re-establish himself since a receiving order was made against him in December. His reward as he dismounted was a kiss from his bride, whom he married six weeks ago. Gypsies were as numerous as ever; however, it was noticed that costers’ carts and horse brakes are disappearing and are being replaced by charabancs and motor caravans. Tho result of the Derby is reported on page 9.
