EATING HIS HAT — Secreiary of Labor James P. Mitchell
nibbles on a piece of cake baked in the form of a fedora hat
to keep a pledge ha made last April to "eat my hat" if unem-
ployment in the U.S.A. reached three million in October.
Figures released Nov. 11 showed that unemployment rose to
3,270,000 in October. His pledge had been mode at an AFL-
CIO rally. Mitchell ate the hat on the steps of the Labor Depart-
ment building in Washington.

"Ringer" Won The
English Derby
A horse entered for the Derby
is "kidnapped" and its place in
the race taken by an older and
more experienced horse of sim-
ilar appearance. The substitute
July wins the race, but the gang
nvolveci in the plot are unmask
)d before they can collect the
nuge sums they had expected to
win.
That sounds like the theme of
t blood-and-thunder racing nov- '
el of the kind which everyone
Knows cannot happen in real
life,
But it did!
True, it was more than 100
years ago, when the regulations
were more lax than they are
now. But to this day "Running
Rein's Derby" provides one of
the most fantastic stories sport
has to offer,
The fact that a four-year-old
von the 1844 Derby is fairly well
Known to racing fans. What is
.lot so well known is that the
rang had already got away with
exactly the same trick with the
tame masquerading horse a few
peeks previonsly.
Some sportsmen who suspect-
td trickery warned the author-
ties then, but were not believed
because they were unable to fur-
bish proof. Not until the Derby
tad been won in similar circum-
dances was their evidence in-
vestigated and finally accepted.
The plot had been carefully
aid. It had started three years
earlier when, in 1841, a race-
horse owner named: Goodman
!old his trainer, Stebbings, to
ouy a colt foal or two "if you
!an pick them up cheap." Steb-
sings bought for 228 a colt de-
icribled as "a bay with some
white hairs on the forehead."
Che colt, which was named Run-
ning Rein, was taken to Good-
man's stables in London and
;hen turned out into the pad-
docks of a farmer named Bear at
Finchley. In due course he was
entered for the Derby of 1844.
Not long after Running Rein's
arrival at Finchley, Goodman
went to Doncaster Sales with a
farmer named Higgins, and there
bought a yearling named Macca-
beus—a bay with a few white
aairs on the forehead. It is un-
certain whether this was a coin-
cidence that gave Goodman an
Idea or whether he had already
formed his plan, but his inten-
tions soon became clear.
Maccabeus was taken to Hig-
gins' farm near Northampton
and put out to grass. A few
months later he, too, was sent to
Goodman's' London stables,
where he remained for some
time before being removed.
The next development, in Sep-
tember, 1842, was the arrival at
the Epsom stables of a trainer
named Smith of a bay colt that
had some white hairs on its fore-
head. The horse was described
as Running Rein.
Nine months later came the
first rehearsal for the grand
coup. Smith ran at the Epsom
meeting a horse named Macca-
bens, The stand-in was getting
experience.
The two animals were so alike,
that only by seeing them togeth-
er could a stranger tell which
was which, and Goodman and
his confederates naturally did
not go out of their way to ensure
that .there was no confusion.
Possibly both horses made a-
number of journeys between the
paddock, at ,Finchley, and the
training quarters at . Epsom, but
there are strong grounds for be-
lieving that Running Rein never
left Finchley from the time he
arrived there.

A4T For Golfers — A
Sol;d-Gold Putter!
"Tiffany's FOurteen K a rA t
Gold Putter," read an ad by
New York's F i f t h Avenue,
jewelers recently. It offered
golfers a club with a price tag
' —$1,4'75--as unwieldy as its 15-
ounce, solid gold head. But the
small print carried a reserva,
tiont "This advertisement ap-
pears for the record only, as the
entire stock has been sold."
In fact, Tiffany's "entire stock"
had consisted of a single putter
made to order for a customer
who wanted it for a gift. But
Tiffany admen ran the ad in
The Wall street Journal anyway
as a "spoOf" to boOst. Tiffany's
luXury-lirst reputation — and
they struck publicity pay-dirt:

ISSUE 48 — 1959
their plot might never have been
discovered. But employees had
the actual handling of Running
Rein, or Maccabeus (or both!),
and eventually rumours began to
leak out.
The story reached the ears of
Lord George Bentinck, one of
the leading sportsmen of the day,
and when Running Rein was re-
turned as the 'winner of a race
at Newmarket a few weeks be-
fore the$ Derby, Lcbrd George
raised an objection o n th e
grounds that the horse was not,
in fact, Running Rein but some
other.
Now things began to warm up.
The horse known as Running
Rein found a new owner, an
Epsom corn merchant, named
Wood. Smith, who continued to
train it, told him the sale was to
wipe out Goodman's unpaid
training bills.
Meanwhile, Lord George Ben-
tinck and his friends continued
investigating the history of Run-
ning Rein. In doing so they dis-
covered that another gang were
working exactly similar lines
with another horse, entered in
the Derby as Leander.
The anxious race stewards im-
mediately' called for the identity
Certificates of the two horses,
but the switches were so clever
they were ,still not convinced of
fraud, and announced that both
should be allowed to run, with
the proviso that if either won
the stakes were to be withheld
Until a full inquiry had been
held.
Leander, however, caused
them no trouble. He led the field
of twenty-nine for half a mile
and then Running Rein took
over the lead. In passing, he
kicked Leander's offside hind leg
and smashed the bone. That was
the end of Leander, leaving Run-
ning Rein two lengths clear of
the field,
His jockey held him in then,
and eventually he won by three-
quarters, of a length from Orlan-
do, with Ionian two lengths away
third. The stewards, anticipat-
ing an objection, officially placed
a fourth horse, Bay Momus. The
objection to Running Rein was
lodged, the stakes were , with-
held, and it was decided to settle
the case in the courts.
This took the form of an ac-
tion "to decide whether a certain
colt called Running Rein which
ran in a certain race foaled in
1841 whose sire was The Sad-
dler and dam Mab." The plain-
tiff, Alexander Wood, the owner,
said it was; the defendant, Col.
Peel, owner of both Orlando and
Ionian, said it was not.
The case did not last long. Col.
Peel produced the man who had'
looked after Maccabeus at Nor-
thampton, and who swore this
was the horse now called Run-
ning Rein.
The judge ordered Wood, as
owner of the horse, to- make it
available for inspection at
Smith's training quarters. When
the experts arrived there Smith
refused to allow them to see the
animal unless Wood was also
present.
Smith had good reason for his
refusal. Though he did not say
so, the horse was no longer in
his stables. It had been removed
without the owners knowledge.
Next morning Wood told the
judge he had been grossly de-
ceived by his associates and did
not wish to proceed with the
case. So, a month later after the
race, the Derby of 1844 was -of-
ficially awarded to Orlando.
Goodman, Bear, Higgins, and
Smith were all warned off the
Turf for life, and a group of
admirers presented Lord George
Bentinck with a piece of plate
worth 2300 for his work in ex-
posing the fraud.
ON HIS WAY!
A letter received by officials at
Omana County Jail was address-
ed td an inmate not entered in
the books.
On the flap side of the envel-
ope was pencilled: "If not yet in
jail, please hold until he arrives."
Stole A House
,-Brick By Brick!
Sunning himself in the park on
his afternoon off, the twenty-
three-year-Old Italian bachelor
yawned at the mere thought of
the strenuous work he would
have to return to on a local hous-
ing estate next day.
A builder's labourer, lit was
very strong and athletic, but he
had always disliked hard work
of any kind, That was one rea-
son his girl friend had thrown
him over a fortnight earlier.
His reverie was interrupted
by the appearance of a pretty
brunette, a' nursemaid of about
twenty, who came in sight push-
ing a pram.
So gracefully did she walk by
that he gazed admiringly and
was delighted to see'her sit down
pn a seat near-by.
She took out a book and be-
gan to. read but soon became
aware of his persistent stare,
Glancing quickly at his suntan-
ned, handsome face, she decided
that she liked the look of him.
He began the flirtation by
walking to her 'seat and asking
the time. Soon he was seated be-
side her, saying extravagant
things about her fine eyes and
lustrous hair.
Theirs was a whirlwind court-
ship. At the end of a month he
proposed to her, concealing the
fact that his savings were
meagre, so completely did her
beauty dazzle him,
"I'll quit my job and marry
you only on condition you build
me the kind of little dream home
in the country I've always
longed for," she announced,
"You'll have to do it in your
spare time, but I'll wait. The
hard work will help cure your
tendency to.be lazy," she added
slyly. "I love you, but I don't
want a lazy husband."
About a year later he told her
their tiny ,but well-nigh perfect
home was finished. He had built
it all himself, using the finest
materials, She was enraptured
when she saw it.
But soon afterwards, on the
very eve of their wedding day,
her husband-to-be was arrested
and jailed.
The police had caught up with
him, For months he had been
systematically stealing bricks,
roof tiles, windows, doors,
plumbing — everything but the
foundations — from his employ-
ers' building sites, selecting al-
ways• the best. He had virtually
stolen a whole house.
He was sentenced to hard la-
bour of another kind — twelve
months — and the girl broke off
their engagement. It's almost in-
c,redible what some folk will
steal.
Crooks in the United States
once removed 150 miles of, cop-
per wire from the Michigan elec-
tricity system, though a current
of 200,000 volts was passing
through at the time! Yet not one
of the thieves was killed a.nd
no one was arrested.
Only a crazy thief, surely
would 'steal a fire engine. Yet
someone broke into a village fire
station i n Worcestershire at
dead of night, some time ago,
and ,drove away the fire engine,
complete With pump' and ladders.
Neither he nor the engine was
ever• traced.
A complete mile of railway
track was removed from a Penn-
sylvania branch line. The ripp-
• ed-up rails were cut up into
small lengths and sold as junk.
The thieves were also `:cut up"
when police tracked them down
and arrested them as they were
planning another raid on similar
lines.
Thieves at Miami stole a ten-
ton steamroller. A burglar enter-
ed a house at Charleston, Vir-
ginia, and cut off Mrs. B. N. Hen-
nigan's plaits while she slept.
The reason for this astonishing
theft has never been discovered.
