opening day of the spring meeting of
the Kansas City Jockey club was Derby
day. The crowd was Derby crowd,
and numbered something over $4,000
people. 1t rained torrents last night,
but the day opened warm and clear, and
the track was in fair condition, though
a tri1e sticky. Ed Corrigan's Riley
was entered for the Derby, but he
showed up lame while working this
morning. Besides. he had too heavy
weight for the sticky track, 129 pounds,
and his owner scratched him. The win
ner,; however, was a Kansas City

Mulkey, the owner of LIE Premier,
