The interest was to center about the
Kansas Derby, the third sunfiower
classic for mile and $500 and as usual
the Derby was such an easy affair that
it was lost and forgotten by the in
tereSt taken in the last race on the
card, the half mile dash.
The Derby went to over Again, own

Again led all the way by a comforta-
BILE margin and although Lady Chat

The harness races were so easily

the most exciting finish of the day
with Jockey Line and his gray in the
lead. Flying Fox pushed his nose up to
Cyrock'S withers but that was the best
he could do and the minute they pass
