Kentucky Derby of IT Recalled

Louisville, KY. April 29.-The wide
spread interest in the Kentucky derby,
which is to be decided Saturday. May
II. at Churchill Downs. grows daily.
Discussion Of this event develops a
resemblance of the third renewal of
the derby series decided in Louisville
in 1877. That season the race brought
four starters to the post. In their day
they compared to the quartet Of great
stars in the race this spring-Worth.

Grath's brown colt. Leonard. by Long
fellow. like Worth. in this years race,
got his derby favoritism from the fact
that he was the largest money winning
Leonard's earnings as a 2.year-old
amounted to $3.50. a, larke sum in
those days. Worth won last season
$16.645.
The second choice in the 1877 derby
was Dan Swigert's chestnut colt Bad
like Maj. McDowell's The Manager of
this day. He had shown brilliant
speed in his 2-year-old races. but new
er had met Leonard in actual contest.
Nor has The Manager met Worth.
Gen. Abe Buford's chestnut colt Nc.
Whittier was the Presumption of the
1877 derby; that is. he had met Ba-
den-Baden and defeated him, but had
been beaten by Baden-Baden, lust
as Presumption. last season, beat The
Manager and Worth. and was, in turn,
beaten by both of them.
The Sonada Of the derby in 1877
was Capt. j. 7. Williams bay gelding,
Vera Cruz. Like Catesby .Woodford's
crack this season. he was an unknown
quantity in the race. hut was greatly
feared BY the owners Of Leonard.
