HOWARD HORSE,
 $1SOO BARCAIN
 4'WON .$S3.OO0
Runs Best for Biggest Stakes; Odds Down to
 & 6.l Now ..
BY JACK cUENTHER

United Press Staff CoFrespondent)
 New York, April 10.-(UP)--For the second straight year the west will rest its bid for e Kentucky Derby triumph on Q three-ply par- lay composed of the famed luck ot 0. s. Howard, the shrewd training of silent Tom Smith and the sur- prise speed of Q cheap colt who was picked off . bargain counter for Q little more than the price of 0 load of hay. tr
 Last year the west rode with Mo- land, and he finished fourth. This season the choice is Q big, swash- buckling fellow who loves mud and rough going. His name Is Porter's Cap and if rain falls at Churchill Downs on the eve of May 3 this strapping son 10 the Porter and the blonde will be the colt to catch for the S75000 purse that awaits the winner
 Porter's Gap fits right into the Howard tradition. He was picked from 1000 others at the Saratoga sales for $l,300 and he has run that paltry purchase price into the substantial figure of $83,l05. And, like all the other Howard horses, he has run his fastest when the pot was the biggest. He won only five of a dozen starts but two of those five were the $20000 Wash- ington Futurity and the $50,000 SantaAnita Derby. Y" Good Start
 The lanky chestnut--at more than le hands he is perhaps the biggest of the Derby aspirants - started his career in stirring style. He won his first two races in California with lenghts to spare before suffer- ing an injury in his third start and finishing out fo the money. On the way east he captured the Washing ton Futurity in Illinois, ran third in the Eastern Shore handicap in Maryland and then hurt his hip and finished far back in the Bel- mont Futurity and champagne stakes In New York.
 But like all Howard horses, he reached his peak over the winter. At Santa Anita in the past few months he proved himself to be easily the best three-year.old on the grounds. Tn four starts among horses of his own age he finished first twice, second once and third once. Tn the Santa Anita Derby he handcuffed strong field by four lengths in the mur and never gave the opposition the slightest chance. nIrs
 That race was enough to drop his Derby Future book odds to 6.i, 6 figure second only to that Dispose. Bred by A. B. Gay In Kentucky and foaled on May l5, 1888, Porter's Cap still Is growing. ais breeding indicates he should run well over a distance. Now in Maryland, his first important east ern engagement is the $20000 Ches. apeake handicap at Havre Dc Grace. From there he will go to the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont stakes.

WESTMINSTER CHOIR TO BE IN
WILMINGTON, TUESDAY, JAN. %

| For several years many people in
this part of Delaware have express
ed desire to hear the famous and
internationally known Westminster
Choir of Princeton, N. ]. Due to the
large sum of money required for the
cooperative concert groups to in
cludo' this choir on their programs,
it has been impossible for many of
us to hear the Westminster Choir.
Milford has recently learned that
this famous choir will be brought
sufficiently near for us to enjoy this
treat at last. They will give a con-
cert at West Presbyterian Church in
Wilmington on Tuesday evening,
January 2S, at 8 o'clock.
DR.. John Finlay Williamson, presi-
dent and founder of Westminster
Choir College at Princeton, N. j., is
also the founder and director Of the
Westminster Choir, and, although the
choir began its work but is years
ago. such tremendous strides have
milton among all the outstanding
musical artists of our country, such
as Arturo Toscanni, John Barber
olli, Leopold Stokowsl5i, and others. |
They have sung in over 1000 con-
certs in the United States and Can
ada. and have appeared with A. TOs-
canmi's, orchestra over the radio.
They have toured Europe and have
been heard by the two last United
States Presidents at the White
House. This spring they will include
Cuba and later South America.
A concert by such recognized
choir of such popular appeal is an
opportunity every music lover will
be thrilled to enjoy.
To all those who heard the large
West Presbyterian Church Choir of
at Milford Presbyterian
Church last Sunday evening under
the dictatorship of Robert w. Ru-
1olph, who SO ably led his own choir,
