health, his friends tried In vain to dlfl
BUsde him from going to Uie Derby of
1810. "Not gu!" was his Indlgmiut re?
tort. "Why, 1 haven't missed a Derby
for thirty years, and I'll go If I die on
the road." He went, but It was for the
last time, for be died before the year
was out. Year nfter year Lord Palmer
ston redo down to Epsom on Derby
day, until In isofi tho weather com?
pelled him to drive down. "If the for?

ho said to some friends on the course.
