Louisville recovered from its emo- tion debauch early. Forgotten was the bugle that called 22 tempera- mental thoroughbreds to the barrier Saturday. Forgotten was the heart-breaking leaders for a couple of quarters in the Kentucky derby. It was alil over. Louisville today was a solid, sub. stantial border city. Not for a year would it go wild again. Grumbling derby losers werc as hard to find as the stick of a spent sky-rocket. The winners, homeward bound were everywhere, Pari- mutuel tickets, the Louisville equiv- alent of confetti and ticker-tape, with which New York meets its great occasion, littered the streets. How much was wagered on the | derby will never be known because the makers of winter books da not Keep any records, none for publica. tion at any rate, but track figures showed a total of $620,793 bhet| through the mutuels on the derby. The $2 machines of all classes, straight, place and show, carricd $134.558; the $5 machines $128,5645: the $10 machines $125,010; the $20 heoks $107,180; the $100 books $125,500, Last year the total was $676,483. The torrential rain that awept sheets of water under the betting sheds kept thousands away from the ticket windows, causing the total amount wagered to fall slightly nn- | der the 19 figures.
