PLAZA REVIEW.

Features were many and varied at the Plaza theatre yesterday. AS spe- cial attraction, Round Five of H. c. Witwer's 'Ihe Leather Pushers,'' was incorporated into the show and as- sure its success. This feature has even more action than its predecess- ors and was greeted with unusual atp- plause. The vaudeville section was headed by the Beatrice MorrelIo Sex tette, in a select and clever musical number entitled, "A Study in Blue.'
 Miss Morrel1o, herself an excep- tional musician, has gathered about 1ected for ability and appearance. There is a handsome drapery of blue, and, the young ladies are Tbecomingly ccstumed- The violin, piano and voice are the musical trend of the

Rosebud's Career
 Ended As Norwich
 Races To Triumph
By DAVIS J. WALSH. News Ser8ce


 International News Serszce Sports Editor. New " ork, June s-This is the story of romance and tragedy blended, for
 one f1eeting moment, in the careers of two turf idols one of the present, the other of the past. While the crowd at Jamaica was haiHng- the great Norwich, the 1922 Kentucky Derby winner, as he raced a half mile against time, Old Rose bud, winner of the same classic in 1914, was lying dead at Aqueduct, @ few miles away, the victim of a friend | Iy bullet
 Thus did the past and present cross paths for a single instant For Nor vich, the pampered darling of the
 track, the occasion meant cheers and acclaim For Old Rosebud, the for gotten, a merciful bullet. Old Rosebud, broken and useless, I with the days of his triumphs dimmed by time, shot as an act of mercy, even l Haunting his supremacy before thou sands who had once hailed the derelict as supreme Life itself holds no sterner lesson of the heeting character of fame.
 Rosebud's Career Varied. The career of Old Rosebud, unlike that of Norwich, scaled the heights and plumbed the depths in a rapid success of the lead;4lg two-year-o1ds in 1913, won tk Kentucky Derby the follow ing year in 2:O3 2-5, the fastest time ever made in the classic, and two or thr~e weeks later broke down during the running of the Withers- For the next two years he was lost to racing; then, in 1917 and 1918, he came back to gain even greater re- nown in racing against the best handi- cap horses in training. Followed another breakdown, and it was virtually the last Old Rosebud was patched up again and started in two races at Jamaica against the cheapest kind of selling platers. But it was asking too much even in that
 kind of company. His heart was as big ever, but his legs couldn't answer.s
 He broke down in training for the third time several weeks ago, and this time his owner, Frank D. Weir, who had stuck to the horse through senti- ment, realized that there was nothing for it but that Old Rosebud must pass on to whatever might await him be- yond life
 The bullet was mercifu1 - and friendly. And few miles away turf crowd cheered the new king.
