$5O,OOO.OO KENTUCKY DERBY
Will Be Run at Churchill Downs, Louisville,
Saturday, May 18th
Norwich the Champion Of Last Season. and Large Field Of Other
High Class Three Year Ods viii Be Among the Starters
For the Greatest Stake in America

The fOrty-eight renewal of the Ken
lucky Derby, which will be run at
Churchill Downs, Louisville, Saturday,
May 18th, promises to be the most in
terestinS in the long history of this
famORs race. This year the Kentucky
Jockey Club has added $4,000, and a
$1,000 gold service to the winner, max
ing it in point of value the richest, as
it always has been the most sought
after three-year-old stake in America
There clusters around the Derby all
the memories and the romance that
make the turf so alluring and that en-
shrines Churchill Downs in the hearts
Of half century of race lovers.
Beginning with Aristides, the first
winner, and continuing through an i'm
mortal roster Of thoroughbred Kings,
public interest in the Derby has in
creased every year until to-day the
names of the contenders are house
hold words, and their respective mer-
its are subject Of arguments that
will not cease until the number of
the winner is hung out on May 18th.
The outstanding favorite this year is
Benjamin Blocks Norwich, which fin
ished his two-year-old career by win
ming every race in which ne started,
beating all his competitors with an
ease that marks him as a colt of sur
passing speed and quality, approaching,
if he does not equal, Man o. War.
Norwich is training at the Jamaica
race track, New York, where his trials
are phenomenal. He will probably
start in the opening handicap at Jamai-
ca and will be shipped Immediately
thereafter to Churchill Downs where
he will receive his final workout for
the Derby.
The prowess of Norwich has not
discouraged the owners of other Der
by candidates and there will be field
of from twelve to fifteen horses to
contest with the champion for the $780,
600 stake and its accompanying $1,000
gold souvenir. Among the number are
Harry Payne Whitney's Olympus, a |
recent winner at Havre de Grace, over

THE JUNIOR COLLEGE.

During the Educational Cam
paign we spoke of the purpose of
the Board of Education to con-
vert Lindsey Wilson Training
School into a junior college.
Most everywhere the matter
seemed to appeal to the people as
a thing of great value to all this
county from which such a Junior
College would draw its patron
age. The Christian Education
Movement was not the success
we had hoped for and the money
from the Centenary pledges is
not coming in as rapidly as our
leaders had hoped for. As a
consequence of these stubborn

The race for the nomination
for Appellate Judge in this dis
trict has not gotten warm up, to
this time. Neither of the candi-
dates have been in Columbia.
We have heard a number of ex-
preston, but there will be no
pep" injected until after the
candidates pay this county a vis-
it. The people want to see and
hear them talk, and the same
view is taken by the other coun.
ties in this end of the district.

Rockminister, a promising Friar Rock
colt; John Finn, whose work at Lex

tender; the great filly StarSle, which
might repeat the victory of Regret, the
only filly to win the Derby; Washington

improved form this Spring; E. r. Brad

the claim that he expects to run one

last year with Behave Yourself and
Black Servant; ]. s. Cosden who al
ready has one Derby winner to his
credit in Paul Jones, believes he has
an excellent chance to win with Good
Times; Kai Sang, who ran second to
Norwich several times last year, is
eligible for the Derby; Gentility, the
winner Of the Lexington Futurity, has
worked faster than any filly in the
West. Unless she is saved for the
Oaks, she will certainly go in the Der

facts the Board of Education has |
hesitated somewhat in raising
Lindsey Wilson to the grade of
a junior college. Our board,
however. is heartily in favor of
going on with their original plans
If there is any way to surmount
the difficulties. They will build
a gymnasium this year that will
cost not less than ten thousand
dollars and will make other
improvements on the property.
If our board knew that the
people Of this community were
behind them in this movement,
II am sure they would not hesi-
tate to 60 ahead as they have
planned. A committee of inter-
ested citizens are circulating pc
titions to get the sentiment of
the community in regard to the
matter. It is hoped that they
will have no difficulty in finding
men who will sign them.
The junior college would mean
so much to this community that
we can scarcely afford to miss it
It cost last year seven hundred
and eleven dollars per student in
in the State University. If the
students who 60 from here to
school could be cared for here
it would be a very great saving.
Even those who came here to
board would find their expenses
only a fraction of this amount
The Junior College would be
standardized by the State and
, would do work for which full
: credit would be given in all the
y colleges of the State. We would
