CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE LATONIA DERBY + 4« Tlie Latonia Derby is a race of historical associations and in its time lias liecn won by many fast and famous horses. But in its recent years it has been an unlucky event in respect to the number and class of its contestants. Tlie recently adopted policy of not closing it for entries until in the year of its running appeared to promise that it would secure aliout all of the good and sound three-year-olds of each year, but so far it lias not worked out that way. It is regrettable that an event of its character and value is to lie fought out today by no more than four starters. Still it may move a lietter race than it now appears. especially since for the first time this year the true Derby route is to he traversed. The record of the race Is as follows: lear. First.
