LOUISVILLE, KY, April I,.-(P
-Fifty-four years ago this May a
little red horse knewn as Aristides
sped valiantly around a race track
in this city while some 10000 per-
sons roared their hopes and delight
through the sunny air.
From that date, May II, 1875,
starts the glowing tale Of the Ken
lucky derby, a tale to be written
in the ledger Of sport for the
fifty-fifth time at Churchill Downs
here May 10. And what a tale it
is! Pages Of heart throbs and
heart breaks, Of joys and sorrows,
of dazzling speed and sport un-
equaled.
In the first derby, and in many
that have followed, the favorite
has not always won. In seems
that Aristides vas not even sup
posed to win.
AS Is fitting in the first running
of an historic event, there is a tale
of pluck and courage handed down
from that first derby in 1875. 1t
appears AristideS was to be but a
| pawn to the ambitions of his sta
blemate, Chesapeake. Aristi6es was
to set such a dizzy pace that all
opponents would be worn down,
w~hereupon Chesapeake was to come
washing to the front and win the
race.
Like the gallant racer that he
was, Aristides obeyed instructions
and whirled off the mile at a high
gait. 1t was now that Chesapeake
was to come up and take the lead
but no Chesapeake appeared.
A story has it that Price Nc
Grath, owner Of both colts, was
standing at the stretch. Grasping
the situation, he waved to Jockey
Lewis to urge Aristides on. The
time for that memorable mile and
a half was 2:37 "a, a great race
for such a track, and q great VIC
tory for Aristides.
In the second running Vagrant
an outsider, dashed in ahead with
the famed and favored Parole out
OF the money. 1t was Baden
Baden, a field horse, which press
ed through in the third running to
win, and thus it has been often
through the years. The derby has
been a derby of upsets.
For rs years the derby distance
was a mile and a half. When
shorter distances gained favor, the
course was shortened to a mile and
a quarter in 1896. Spokane, another
outsider, established the fastest

The crop is in good condition,
o OF 1T being up to a splendid
stand, Mr.. Boyd says, and but very
little replanting will be necessary.
Having been planted about two
weeks late on account of the ground
being cold and because of the lack
cf rain at the proper time, chop
ping viii not be started for some
time.
Likes Late Planting
IT Is the opinion of Mr.. Boyd that
late planting always produces the
best results in the Valley and for
that reason he says the late and
dry spring will prove an advantage.
He thinks considerably more re-
planting would have been required
had the cotton seed been put in the
ground earlier in the year.
Mr.. Boyd thinks there has not
been any marked change in the
quality Of seed planted in the VAL
ley this year and he says about the
same quality of staple can be ex-
pected. The Valley always has

Prospects were never brighter at
this time of year." MI. Boyd said.
"Of course, 1t is entirely too early
to even attempt to guess the out
come of the crop, but with favor
able weather from now until pick
ing time the yield should be
splendid.

Although the acreage is greatly
reduced the Valley will gin about

this section last year if the wea-
Their Is right. That if is a big
one however" The Valley ginned
between $4,000 and $4,000 bales in
1928.
The reduction in acreage is
largely in the irrigated section from
La Feria west, a survey made by MI.

the Brownsville. Harrington and

The first race at historic old
Churchill Downs was not the Ken
lucky derby. 1t was a dash of a
mile and a quarter won by William
Cottrilps Bonaventure, ridden by a
jocky named Billy Lakeland. The
inaugural day was May II, 1875,
and the Kentucky derby was the
second race on the program.
Now the Kentucky derby is more
than q horse race. Kentuckians
consider it a tribute to the country,
to Kentucky and to the horse.
