furnished evidence that with this
new device it was possible to ex-
plot song, instrumental music

SAME OLD TRAINERS
 EASING COLTS ALONG

LOUISVILLE, May IA. K e IT, lucky derby winners come and go
 but each succeeding year sees the |same old group of veteran trainers |trek back to the scene of their tri- umphs of yesteryears with hopes |of saddling another winner.
 To Marse Henry Thompson, little master of Col. E. R. Bradleys Idle Houre stables, winning the classic |of the American turf is nothing |new. This year Marse Henry is |going about conditioning Blue Lark |spur, the winter book favorite, with the same enthusiasm that marked |his earlier triumphs.
 When the Idle Hour stables scored |one-two in 1921 with Behave Your |self and Black Servant, the midget trainer saddled the Bradley entries. Again in 1925, when Bubbling Over land Beggenbaggage took first and |second places, it was Marse Henry who sent the three year olds away Always talking thoroughbreds the czar of Idle Hour stables has been more voluble than usual this year lover Blue Larkspur, even claiming the colt went a mile in 1:42 in the | mud.
 Sam Hildreth, the gray-thatched |trainer of Harry Sinclair Rancocas |stables, also tasted victory when Il zev showed the way to the wire | in 1923. Sam will be back this season with Simba and Mei Foo probably not as highly rated as other entries-but somehow Hil- dreth has way of putting danger | ous runners on the field.
 Clyde Van Dusen, the soft talk ling, gangling trainer for H. P. Gardner, has been sending horses |away in the derby year after year, forever hopeful that one of them would return winner. But this | year he is even more hopeful, pin ming his reputation" on his name sake, a gelded son of Man Q War.
 Earle Sande, young in years but old in experience, returns to the derby in new role-that of own Ter, trainer and jockey. Sande will have a leg up on Hermitage, the | most promising of his small stable.
