; :‘ j DERBY T0 BERUN TOMORROW © - Thirtyome o Eagan's Choics Throe YearOis Baend *- ‘Epsom Downs, Eng., June 4 (P— 4«<«The Epsom derby, ancient classic of =the English turf, rules all Britons “ tomorrow. ..~ Thirty-one of Enland's choicest | v+ three-year-olds have been selected to "opattle for the honor and glory < awarded the winner of the world's most celebrated race. Five million raons_have wagered hundreds of 1ousands of pounds in the gigantic London stock exchange and Calcutta v ®weepstakes and other similar pools { throughout the United Xingdom. The Calcutta and stock exchange | sweeps alone involve aBout $5,000,- | 000 cach, holders of tickets on the | winning horse to receive in the | neighborhood, of $625,000. * From city, farm and hamlet the | multitude began pouring into this j @uaint little English village today. | i seFor In England everyone goes to the & derby. It is a national pilgrimage in # ,aWhich all classes participate, from i "king to costermonger, from landed | lord to wandering gypsy. Londoners | turned their backs on their shops nd offices and joined the early ar- | B pivals by tedin, tram;: omnibus, au mobile, staxicab, .carriage, cart, bi- | ycle ‘and on' foot. | The influx of England’s populace s expected to exceed the quarter- million mark this year. The huge | grandstand built in the bowl like | setting of the Downs course and'ad- | jacent standing room furnishes some | kind of an accommodation for near- ! 1y 300,000 people. | Across the rolling, grassy, wind blgwn Downs, above lipsom. the fa. mous derby course stretches out a e, long mile ‘and a half—first uphill, then down again. It provides for the proud and youthful blueblood racers a most strenuous test of stamina. ‘The derby track lies in the shape of an elongated horseshoe. The start is made at the shank of the shoe farthes from the grandstand—near- ly 800 yards from the structure. The finish is in front of the royal bhox where King George will be missing for the first time in recent years. ‘The first long half-mile of the course is Tun uphill while the sec- ond four furlongs sweep in a sharp crescent along an approximate level. Going into the final third of ' the course, the derby candidates turn “Tattenham Corner” and swing into the downhill homeward dash. Reaching the last phase of the ex- hausting struggle, many colts are too far gone to make use of the easy descent. But horses with stay- ing power come thundering down the stretch to set the crowd wild with a whirlwind finish. Condition of the track, which has become hard because of lack of rain, may further cut the field be- fere post time. Because he did not desire to risk injuring his horse, Lord Dewar atched Macnab ves- terday while J.ord Wollavington's Walter Gay and the Duke of Port-- land's leonard are considered doubtful starters. Betting tod: Viscount Astor’ osition of the favorite Lord Derby's Hunter's Moon and Major McCalmont’s Mr. Jinks were strongly played. Future betting quo- fations have ~made Cragadour the popular choice at 6 to 1 with Hunt tr's Moon at T to 1 and Mr. Jinks at 17 to 2. Lord Derby's entr me of his popularity last week when he pulled up after a- workout with sore shins. Hopes of American victory lie in P. D. Q.. owned by Gordon Selfridge, the man who successfully introduced American department store merchan- dising in England, and A. K. Ma- comber's The Corthaginian. P. D. Q. is quoted at 40 to 1 in the future failed to dislodge Cragadour from the although books while Macomber's racer is one of the rank outsiders in the specula- tion. Four times the derby has been won by Americans—Pierre Loril- lard’s Iroquois in 1881; the late W. ©. Whitney's Volodyovski in 1901; the late Richard Croker's Orby in 1907, and the late H. B. Duryea's Durbar II, a 20 to 1 shot, in 1914. The derby received its initial run- nin in 1780 ufider the guidance of the Earl of Derby, but it was not until 1787 that’ Lord Derby furnish- ed a winner. Sir Peter Teazle won that year and then in 1924 another Tord Derby's colt, Sansovino, won the classic. For the first time in sev- cral years King George will not have a starter, his sole entry, Glaston- |bury. having been withdrawn early in May TUG TAKES TITLED BRIDE TOHOSPITAL Countess Bernadotte Rushed to Operating Room From Boat New York, June 4 (P—Countess Folke Bernadotte, the former Estelle R.
