Over disproved a lot of other things. The wise ones said he was a sprinter—that he could not last a mile and a quarter. They also said that he carried his head too high and acted badly at the post. Despite all these dire predictions, Bubbling Over same through. Bubbling Over’s record is impressive, but not too much so. Previous to the Derby, he won seven of his ten starts, but only one of them was in a Stake—-the Nursery Handicap at Champagne. However, he has never finished unplaced. The greatest racing crowd that the State of good whisky, fast horses and beautiful women has ever seen, assembled at Churchill Downs for the great battle of the thoroughbreds. Eastern society, represented by the Harry Payne Whitney's, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt and many others from Park Avenue, turned out in full array. The Kentucky racing crowd was equally prominent, headed by Colonel E. R. Bradley himself, the great horse-owner and ruler of Bradions, best known of the Palm Beach gambling resorts. Picturesque Crowd. Some of the most picturesque of the spectators came down the Ohio River from Cincinnati in chartered steamboats. One party, consisting of Cincinnati politicians, never saw the race. It found the company aboard the packet Island Queen so gay that it remained on the vessel and missed the Derby altogether. Among the better known but less distinguished of the race-goers were One-Eyed Connelly and Tammany Young, the rivals for the "gate-crashing championship" of the country. Neither of the two great "crashers," who appear at every great sporting event, paid for a ticket, but both were there cheering the winner. The Bradley entry got the biggest cheer as the colts paraded before the stands, because Kentuckians proved that they have unusually powerful vocal chords. While Starter Tim Healey cracked his whip, Bubbling Over turned a broadside to the barrier and made a great deal of trouble before the great crowd heard the welcome cry: "They're off!"

American The balloon rally organized by the Aéro-Club de France, combining an accuracy landing competition with a contest between women motorists as to which could be the first to reach the different balloons after they landed, was a sporting as well as a social success.

INTERNATIONAL SOCCER MATCHES ARE ARRANGED TORONTO, Ontario.—The Dominion of Canada Football Association has sanctioned an international cup series among four clubs of the American Soccer League and Carsteel, United and Toronto City, of Toronto. This competition will take the place of the proposed international soccer league, which was opposed by American League clubs. The revival of the historic American Derby, last run in 1904, has been announced for July 10 at the new Washington Park racing plant at Homewood, Illinois, with a value of $100,000. Assurance that the classic will be run comes from Thomas E. Bourke, general manager. The course is being rushed to completion for the Illinois Jockey Club, which has announced July 3 as inaugural day. All lovers of the Turf will rejoice in the revival of this race, which always had stirred American imagination, and which, properly run, can easily be brought back to its former place of prominence. The next race of world-wide importance is the Epsom Derby, which stirs a nation even to a greater extent than does the American classic. June 2 is the date

The failure of the crack American amateur golfers in their first real tournament in England is causing endless comment, and fears are freely expressed that this team lacks the “goods” to deliver in the Walker Cup contest and in the Amateur and Open Championships in England. The winner of the St. George’s Vase, the English player Hezlet, totaled 158, turning in 77 in the afternoon round. There is a big gap between this score and the 176 of Watts Gunn. There is a reason for the large scores of the Americans, and that reason is wind. This is no alibi for the American golfers! Wind is a natural hazard in any outdoor game, and the championship player must have a defense for this condition. None of the American golfers is accustomed to seaside course play, and in the St. George’s Cup play a wind which threatened to sweep the halls off the green was blowing all day long. Bobby Jones, who scored a round at the Wentworth course on Friday in 69, to set a new amateur record for that club, was expected to turn in only an 82 and an 85 on the Sandwich links, getting tenth place in the tournament. There will have to be a law against sneezing on the links, for it appears from accounts of the Sandwich tournament that Cyril Tolley,

This threw him off his game and made him waste three strokes. Still, Peck, Hans Breitenstraeter is at Saint-Germain-en-Laye with friends while putting on the finishing touches to his preparation for his bout against Francis Charles at the Vélodrome d’Hiver in Paris tomorrow night. The arrival of the big German put at rest all the ugly rumors which had been circulated prophesying non-observance of his contract. The managers of the all-star programme, M. Jack Dangin and M. Philip Roth, have announced that a lottery will be conducted as a part of the programme, and that the proceeds will be given to the “Save the Franc” fund. Breitenstraeter and Francis Charles will weigh within a few ounces of each other, at about 175 lb. It had been thought that the German was 10 lb. heavier than Charles, and this equality in weight makes the fight look much more even than it had appeared. The middleweight championship fight between Molina, the holder, and Gaudon should be a good affair, and the featherweight scrap between André Routis, holder,

A competition, open to all women members of recognised French golf clubs who are under twenty-one years of age, will be played at Saint-Germain on May 27.
