BAHRAM THE DERBY FAVORITE LONDON, England, June 3. The Aga Khans Bahram today was established as one of the shortest priced favorites in the history of the Epsom Derby, Bahram being held at 10 to 11 at last nights call over, and he is likely to go to the post at Epsom Downs, June 5, at even shorter odds. The Aga Khans other two entrants, Hairan and Theft, were second and third in the betting, and several of the experts are of the opinion that the wealthy Indian will see his colors finish one, two, three. Hairan was quoted at 100 to 9, and Theft at 100 to 8 at the call over. Other odds were Lord Astors Field Trial, 13 to 1; C. W. Gordons Sea Request, 25 to 1; Mrs. C. Evans First Son, 28 to 1; Lord Derbys Fair Haven and Lt. Col. Giles Loders Fair-bairn, 50 to 1; Sir Abe Baileys Good Fellow, Mrs. Corlett Glornneys Assignation and Lord Glanelys Screamer, 80 to 1; H. W. W. Simms Pry II., 100 to 1; Lord Astors Plymouth Sound, 250 to 1; At E. Berrys Peaceful Waiter, 300 to 1; E. T. Thorton-Smiths Barberry. 5C0 to 1.
