truly run throughout and an even pace was established by the early leaders the time did not approach tha track record of 201 as had been expected by many observers The track was in its best condition despite intermittent showera during the early afternoon but for the Derby weather conditions could not have been better as the atmosphere was com ¬ fortably cool while the sun was undimmed undimmedTaking Taking cognizance of Cavalcades record breaking effort in the Chesapeake Stakes last Saturday the largest Derby crowd in six years supported the Brookmeade Sta ¬ ble entry in which he was coupled with Time Clock with rare confidence with tha result that the Sioane pair went postward at odds of 3 to 2 2The The thousands of Cavalcade supporters were amply rewarded by his splendid per ¬ formance as he ran just the sort of race cal ¬ culated to win considering the presence in the field of such fast horses as Mata Hari Sgt Byrne and Quasimodo He was ad ¬ mirably restrained in the middle of the field during the first half mile while saving all the ground possible and when he made hit run leaving the fiveeighths pole Garner was fortunate and had the daring to send him up on the inside This saving of ground was of untold benefit when Cavalcade reached a contending position and hooked up with Discovery at the head of the stretch that meant do or die for either one oneLONG LONG DELAY AT POST POSTStarter Starter William Hamilton held the field at the post for eight and a half minutes prin ¬ cipally due to the fractiousness of Mata Hari Peace Chance Time Clock and Bazaar Before the great crowd could hardly reallza it Hamilton caught the thirteen highly strung colts and fillies in perfect alignment and sent them away to one of the best starta ever seen in the long history of the race Quasimodo raceQuasimodo breaking from the extreme outside left the starting machine like an arrow but he was unable to get to the front because of the ground he had to make up and the equally alert Mata Hari led the field as it charged down to the clubhouse turn Back of the two leaders were Discovery Singing Wood and Bazaar while Cavalcade was In seventh position Time Clock wa unable to find his stride and trailed the field fieldMata Mata Hari after running the opening quar ¬ ter in 23 and the half in 47 turned in to the back stretch under stout restraint Juat as the field was straightened out Continued on thirtyfourth page CAVALCADE WINS SIXTIETH SIXTIETHKENTUCKY KENTUCKY DERBY Continued from first page Sgt Byrne was brought up on the outside by Renick and the two raced head and head during the ensuing quarter with first one and then the other showing in front Two lengths back and on the rail Discovery moved along steadily as John Joe Bejshak maintained a steady hold Singing Wood was at the Vanderbilt colts heels but at the far turn Garner brought up Cavalcade on the inside to take possession of fifth posi tion and lapped on the Futurity winner With startling abruptness about midway on the turn Bejshak called on Discovery and the son of Display darted to the front in such a manner that the race appeared j all over However Garner had called on Cavalcade for all he had and the favorite responded willingly by passing first Singing Wood then Sgt Byrne and finally at the starting point he had Mata Hari by the throat Cavalcade had no difficulty putting the filly away and setting after Discovery in response to the touching call of the whip stride by stride inch by inch he gained on Discovery until at the furlong pole he was at Discoverys withers Steadily Garner brought him up on even terms with the Vanderbilt colt and the two appeared locked for several strides Then Cavalcade as serted his superiority and slowly but surely he drew away and the closer he got to the finishing line the more certain it became that his would be a convincing and decisive victory Garner took no chances and rode his mount to the utmost Equally sure his mount would not falter was Bejshak as he drove Discovery to his utmost to hold second place but it was un ¬ necessary as the third horse was four lengths farther away The holder of this position was not determined until the plac ing judges flashed their report showing r Agrarian to have taken the honor As it was however he finished just a nose before the tiring Mata Hari and Peace Chance was another inch or two farther away Long before noon the historic course one of the most spacious in America was com fortably filled with the thousands and thou ¬ sands of subjects of King Horse who wanted to be sure of seeing this most open re ¬ newal of the famous fixture All roads leading to the grounds or general vicinity of the track were crammed with automo ¬ biles a big majority of the bumper crowc coming via motor motorThe The clubhouse affording maximum pro ¬ tection from the weather and the choicer grandstand boxes harbored the more dis ¬ tinguished parties With the temperature fully ten degrees above normal for Derby time winter apparel gave way almost en ¬ tirely to spring and summer suits and dresses many brightly colored Straw hats also were easily found foundThe The grounds abounding in multicolored flora presented as beautiful a scene as any Derby crowds ever gazed upon here or else ¬ where whereThe The first rain came with the dawn Shortly after daybreak a mere sprinkle lasting about twenty minutes touched a wide area At 1030 another shower this i one more intense developed Lasting about twenty minutes this shower caused some of the early arrivals to surrender vantage places on the lawns but thousands of them refused to move and when the rain let up there was a mad scramble for choicer spots vacated a few minutes before beforeAs As the rain fell a large corps of men i was kept at work on the track itself Noth ¬ ing that might have preserved the fast con ¬ dition of the course was overlooked A bat ¬ tery of harrows almost unceasingly combed 1 the groundWithin soil of the Derby battle ground Within a few minutes of the second I shower several thousand back stretch vis ¬ itors broke through police lines and scaling j several fences rushed the grandstand sec 1 ¬ tion This was repeated several times be ¬ fore the Derby started each time thou ¬ sands swarming out of the free or field sec ¬ tions with hundreds speeding past police s and taking fences in stride to reach the e general enclosure enclosureWith With each rush however mounted po i ¬ lice succeeded in intimidating many of the e gate crashers to do a right about face i No
