This film very accurately reproduces the life and scenes of the modern Derby day. Scenes illustrated are in the natural order as one starts out on the road to Epsom. Passing through the town. On the downs. The congested traffic: donkey-carts, mail-carts, four-in-hand coaches, phaetons, buggies, tandems, motors, every description of vehicle is taken, making a very interesting part. On the course. The crowds, the bookies. A struggle between a coster’s barrow and a motor. Full panorama of the stands. Away, the flash past of the horses. At Tattenham Corner. Horses passing the famous bend. Fine view of the course and eager crowds. The Finish. The horses coming on; a fine full sight down the course. The winner, Orby, passing. Break up of crowd, a very interesting scene. The welsher, severe punishment. |
