of the 3-year-olds last season, al
though only ordinary in 1924.
Two of Man O. Wars Of
spring are being talked about in
the approaching Derby. They
are Mars and Dress Parade.
Both of these colts raced at PIN
leo last Saturday. Dress Parade
won in a sprint event of three
quarter miles in easy fashion by
four lengths.
Mars was second in mile and
seventy yards race, beaten a head
by Golden Spire, a 4year-old. He
was running fast through the
stretch after going to his knees at
the start.

Jockey NJ Garner has been en-
gagged to ride Rhinock in the
Derby.
T1OCTURNAL is the latest
in Derby eligible to be with
drawn. The horse as a Q
ycar-old looked like a real one, but
many things happen to promising
candidates for the big race. 1t is
rarely that the leading 2year-olds
come through to win the Derby.
Norwich was an exception.
1t is unusual that this season
the leading juveniles of 1925 have
held their form and are favorites
Over and Canter.

body guessing, but among the
more prominent ones out of it for
sure are Haste, Glance Play,
%octurnal, Flight of Time and
Mantonian, the imported colt

Since the Kawtown performers
have left Indianapolis the local
fans are pulling for them to keep
up the good work started at the

would shed any tears if *. c. won

Bob Nipper is quite a hero out
In lrVingtOn. We are sure of
it because of late development.
All the small boys out around
Butler are naming their dogs
Nip or Nipper This may not
seem much of an honor to some,
but in reality il is IA mark of
highest esteem. The boys have
gone the limit to show their ad-
