He succeeded in getting Pascumas suspension lifted to enable the rider to have the mount on Folking in the Derby. Mr. Archibald is taking a keen interest in the legislative proceedings that may surround the sport in Florida with legality. Mr. Archibald opined that it is a fifty-fifty proposition and he is hopeful that a faporable bill for racing will be passed. L. A. Morley, well-known breeder of Hop-kinsville, Ky., who races The Choctaw, came to witness the colt perform in the Derby. S. M. Henderson, trainer of a division of the Audley Farm Stable, and Jockey R.
