Straight Place and Show

With the sixty-fourth running Of
the Kentucky Derby drawing close,
every indication is that Churchill
Downs on May 7 will attract the larg-
est crowd that ever witnessed horse
race on this continent.
The demand for boxes and reserved
seats for the classic has been without
precedent in the history of the event.
Every box seat had been sold out
before March /, and there are over
1900 such seats in the rearranged
grandstand and clubhouse.
The caQ for reserved seats in
the mezzanine and for the new
reserved terraces exceed, any
thing in the annals of Churchill
Downs.
1t Is expected that in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000 persons will see this
Blue Grass classic, against the up-to-
now record crowd OF 10000 which
wended its way into the historic Downs
in 1887 to see War Admiral score the
first of his triple crown victories.
Able to House 10000.
Churchill Downs, with its infield
built into separate unit, now is able
to house 100000 persons. The infield
Is able to take care of at least a
10000 overflow from the grandstand
and clubhouse section. The new ter
race seats will accommodate 5000 more
and the so-called baby grand" where
seats are unreserved, can hold about
$500. Thousands more are sure to
crowd onto the stout roof.
Persons desiring to visit the infield
will not interfere with the running of
the races, as new subway runway
has been built under the track, con-
Meeting the grandstand and clubhouse
section with the infield.
This infield is the particular pride
OF Col. Matt j. Winn this season.
1t has been his dream for
many years to construct such a
spot. which will practically be a
separate racing plant.
At the end. of his fve-year building
program. during which Churchill
Downs has spent 81 100000 in II. prove
ments, the infield has become a race
track in It's own right.
There are seven terraces in the
infleld, each 9 inches higher than
the preceding one They have been
constructed at point just before the
finish line is reached. each extends
for a distance of an eighth of a mile.
The infleld contains "a betting booths,
refreshment stands and almost all
of the usual conveniences found in the
clubhouse and grandstand section.
