Louisville, accustomed to Derby
throngs, is being almost swamped by
the unprecedented influx attendant upon
this years event. The capacity, but not
the hospitable spirit of the city, Is be-
ing taxed. The welcome" sign is un-
furnished and every LousvilIian is do
that the city greets them cordially.
The horses that will carry the hopes
and the money of countless thousands
to whom the thud of equine hoofs upon
spheres, gazed from their stalls today
in placid Indifference to the surgtng
throngs
The mighty Norwich is tho exposure
Of all eyes. While four guards keep
yich munches his hay and oats and
seems all unconcerned at the furore he
is creating. Norwich is docile, sensible
horse. who frets not at all over the
excitement that surrounds him or the
task that confronts him.
