derby is TO England end is laid out on
ground formerly owned by the Church
Ill family. Downs is an English term
often applied to race track-hence
the somewhat peculiar name.
The Kentucky derby is more than
horse race II has become an insti-
tuition. where the horse is king for a
day, the crowds gay and the expert
ence thrilling. This outstanding an.
nual sport event is the elimination of
the love OF hOrsedom by an aggrega-
ton OF humanity which mas come
from practically every nook and cor
ner of this country-as many as a
hundred thousand on one occasion. to
witness single contest between aris-
tocratic thoroughbreds of the horse
world.
Horse racing and the FOND
ness therefor is an English pastime
which gained fooshoId in America
some 300 years ago. II broke out In
Virginia, worked its way over the
mountains and lodged In the Blue
grass state when interest in horses
and racing ran high about $50 years
ago.
The history of the Kentucky derby
and that of the turf Ia America are
largely one and the same thing. OBJ
viously, the derby Is The goal of horse
and hOrseman alike, because to win
1t is an honor extraordinary.
Strange as 1t may seem. it seldom
has been won by favorite. The
numDer of nominations for a single
derby have varied from 8 to 1876.
Odds as high as 1854 to 50 have been
won.

the moths that the chests will not
kill. Cedar chests cannot be de-
pended upon to kill the moths or
