Downtown Louisville was thronged
with visitors who arrived from all
sections of the country, and the
hotel Hobbies we're filled just as in
the boom years.
Many of the late arrivals came
by airplanes which droned overhead
as they passed the Downs on their
way to the airport.
The twenty thoroughbreds, repre-
senting the elite of the countrys
3-year-olds. were guarded carefully
in their stalls.
Still Same Show
The crowd was bit smaller, the
celebrations and tumult were more
subdued, the tipsters and the touts
were a trifle less active and money
was a little short. but it still was
the Derby-America's greatest and
most picturesque turf spectacle.
Caravans of automobiles, special
trains, antiquated steamboats, and
droning airplanes converged on
Louisville from all over the coun-
try with thousands of persons
eager to see a wide-open Derby once
more after a long line of victories
for favorites. One group came from
as far as London, England, another
from Toronto, Canada. and even a
few from California. It was esti-
mated that the crowd will number
about $4,000.

Experts say the race rests be-
tween three horses, Mrs. L. @. Kauf-
mans Tick On, Mrs. John Hay
Whitney's Stepenfetchit and Colonel Z
E. r. Bradley's Burgoo King,
Inasmuch as nothing in connec-
ton with the 1892 Derby has run
true TO form, there is every reason
to suspect that the actual running
of the race itself will add the final
surprising twist to a long series Of
surprises. mishaps and misfortunes.
Like everything else about The
race, the weather remained decid-
edly uncertain. The official weather
forecast was showers in the after
noon, but that also was Friday pre-
diction and they did not materi-
alize.
A little rainfall before the Derby
would help the track, settling the
thick, yellow dust and making it
faster.

Twenty thoroughbreds, a larger
number than expected. were named
