...Jubilee year. Last week's Derby, though bookmakers estimated that more money had been bet on the race than ever before, was the gloomiest since the War. The huge crowd-perching on the tops of automobiles or busses, milling about fortune tellers' tents in the central enclosure, raising a great grey haze of dust above the Downs-was less rowdy than usual.
