24185No date or place. Royal Military College Sandhurst; late 1880s. The present item is excessively scarce: there is no record of it on either OCLC WorldCat or JISC. The Staff College Drag Hunt at the Royal Military College Sandhurst was established in 1869 as a private pack which drag-hunted twice a week in the area surrounding Camberley and after more than a hundred and fifty years the hunt still rides. 1p 12mo. Text enclosed in rules with decorative corners. In fair condition lightly worn and spotted with traces of stub and mounting on blank reverse. Titled: ‘The Staff College Drag Hunt Song. / By Major M. Churchill 2/Northampton Regiment / Master S.C.D.H. 1885-86 / Music from Mr. F. Cotton’s “Forty Minutes.†’ Seven numbered four-line stanzas and the following chorus: ‘Then let us drink drag-hunting boys and pass the bottle round / Drink to the horse the fox of course a bumper to the hound; / And let us toast our farmers as a right good jolly sort / When you haven’t time for hunting then the Drag is rattling sport.’ First stanza: ‘The gallant steed by nature made companion for the hound / Will give us great enjoyment as o’er the fields we bound; / There’s nothing like fox-hunting and some might say the stag / But when you can’t get either then there’s nothing like the Drag.’ The fourth stanza notes that ‘many a Staff aspirant has saluted mother earth’. There are also references to the Staff College Tangley Park and Easthampstead Park. The final stanza gives a toast to ‘our Secretary’s health’ as ‘He’s the proper sort of fellow to instruct the R. M. C.’ See image No date or place. [Royal Military College, Sandhurst; late 1880s.] unknown

1920List2734Unknown location 1920. Approximately 10 x 13 inches. Some tears and chips at edges very good contrast editorial overpainting on recto overall very good. Marks on verso reading “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12â€. Very good. Julian Eltinge 1881/1883–1941 was an American actor and “female impersonatorâ€â€”in today’s terms a drag performer—from Newtonville Massachusetts. Eltinge’s drag career began at age ten and by the early 1900s he was touring internationally performing a vaudeville act wherein the “audience was completely deceived as to Eltinge’s sex until he removed his wigâ€1. This portrait shows Eltinge seated in costume. On the reverse is written “Julian Eltinge Hippodrome March 12†and the front is signed “Herold Brown†this signature does not appear to belong to commercial photographer Harold M. Brown. A stamp is legible that dates the photograph to the 1920s though the exact year is not legible. Eltinge has been described as “without question the most famous female impersonator of all time†ibid.<br /> <br /> 1 Slide Anthony “Julian Eltinge†in The Vaudevillians: A Dictionary of Vaudeville Performers Westport Connecticut: Arlington House 1981 46. unknown

The failure of this experiment was a serious blow to classical scientific theories because it cast doubts on the existance of the universal ether which had been a basic principleof for example the Newtonian theories of the universe. Vide PMM: 378 401 408.The paper appeared first in the "American Journal of Science" in November as offered here and was published a month later in "Philosophical Magazine" in a slightly modified form."Michelson trained at the U.S. Naval Academy and Morley minister turned chemist began a series of experiments to determine the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effects of extremely minute values. They used a slightly silvered glass set angular to a ray of sunlight so that a part ofthe ray was transmitted a part reflected out and again returned thereby providing two paths one perpendicular to the other. If drift existed the superimposed rays would produce interference. None was observed showing that the earth's motion did not affect the light's speed. The negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly thru Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry and cosmometry."DibnerIn 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 lising the later version from "Philosophical Magazine" - Norman 1505.- Magee "A Source Book in Physics" pp. 369 ff. the later paper.The volume contains another paper by Michelson and Morley "On a method of Making the Wave-lenght of Sodium Light the actual and practical Standard of Lenght" pp. 427-430. </em> unknown

After explaining 'the great benefit obtained by unskidding the wheel before reaching the bottom of a hill' it gives 'Directions for use' referring to the accompanying engraving. 'It can be applied without regard to the pace in case of accident and may be accomplished by a child ten years of age.' Text ends with four testimonials: first from George Rendall William Lambert Coachman and John Whittington Coach Builder proprietors of 'the Rocket Coach running daily from Newport to this place Ryde and Ventnor'; second from the 'Mining Journal Railway & Commercial Gazette'; third from the 'United Service Gazette; fourth from the 'Sporting Review' 'Much trouble is saved and no little time consequently gained when Carriages are descending hills by the adoption of Wright's Patent Drag; an invention which we pronounce to be "all Wright and no mistake!"'. The engraving is a side-view of a four-wheel carriage with royal crest and 'VR' for 'Victoria Regina' on the side. Captioned at foot: 'WRIGHT'S PATENT DRAG.'
