Few Of us native Kentuckians real
lie, perhaps, what truly magnificent
world event the Kentucky Derby has
come to be.
Year by year, 1t has grown steadily
In popularity, until now 1t tops all 9TH
er sporting events on the calendar ;
thereby advertising the state as mill

public prints could not possibly do. be-
sides attracting periodically hosts Of
people who spend their money freely
and greatly benefiting an industry Of
vast Importance to Kentucky in partic-
ular-the breeding Of the thoroughbred
horse.
The list Of personages who cheered
the winner Of the 1921 Kentucky Derby
would stretch out far beyond the linn
itations Of this little article. Suffice
to say that 1t included several men,
bers Of President Harding's cabinet I;
distinguished visitors from abroad and
financial and commercial giants from
all parts Of the county; some Of the
latter the owners Of horses that start
ed in the Derby and heavy Investors in
Kentucky estates, elabeyately i'm.
proved and primarily maintained as
breeding establishments.
