r ONDON, May 31.-John Bulls
annual attack of Derby fever is
proving as Virulent as ever this
IL year. Tomorrow's great race at
EPSON Downs is occupying the
thoughts of hundreds of thousands of
persons whose ignorance of horses is
comparable only to their sanguine
hope of winning something either in
the large sweepstakes or private bets.
Thousands of those able to afford
seats will assemble under the Stars
and Stripes flying in honor of Capt.
Lindbergh alongside the Union Jack,
and the American aviator's presence
as a guest of Lord Lonsdale can be
relied on to augment the crowds
which unfailingly swarm over the
Downs on Derby day.
Tipsters declare that bettors'
chances are wider spread this year
than usual, for it is one of the most
open of the many open Derbys since
the race was founded in 1850 by the
Lord Derby of that time. There is
no single outstanding favorite among
the 26 3-year-old colts and fiillies that
are expected to start the historic mile
and half course. but followers of
the sport are generally convinced
that victory lies among four colts
which up to now have shown nearly
equal form. These are Frank Cur.
zon's Call Boy, Lord Derby's Sickle,
Col. Whitburn's Adams Apple, and Sir
Victor Sassoon's Hot Night.
Call Boy, which suffered a trivial
scratch while being shipped from New
market to EPSON yesterday, causing
momentary apprehension. is some
what more favored in the betting than
the remainder of the quartet.
Other horses well represented in the
betting are: Money Maker, owned by
an American, Mrs. Chester Beatty:
and Lone Knight, owned by Lady
Eleanor Torrington. which will be
ridden by the noted Jockey Steve
Donoghue.
The betting on the race is generally
said to be less considerable than usual.
perhaps because this is the first Derby
since the institution of the betting
tax, but the sweepstakes probably
have never been more numerous or
larger.
Evening star., 1927-05-31

While an immense number of per-
sons gamble in small sweepstakes,
popular interest is focused mainly
on who will win the huge prices to
be obtained from the Calcutta and
London Stock Exchange sweeps. The
former is stated to be 16S,000 sterling.
A dentists mechanic named Kill
patrick, living in Capetown, Africa,
has drawn Call Boy for this sweep
stake, having paid the equivalent of
four dollars for his ticket. He sold
half his share to syndicate for 10000
pounds. T. d. Lowe, Bombay teleg
rapher. has drawn Sickle, and sold
half his share for a large sum.
While the public is thus engrossed
in the chance Of winnings. those who
live by race-meetings have been con-
gregating the last few days at EPSON
Downs, which was humming with
activity today. One center Of interest
is a new grandstand, regarded as a
triumph of steel construction and

thusiasts long before the great race
