.... ■■■■■ • 1 Kentucky Derbys of Past— From I9I1 to 191/ Inclusive • — — 1 In previous editions Daily Racing Form has reprinted the charts of the Kentucky Derby beginning with the Lawrin victory in 1938 back to 1919 when Sir Barton surprised the turf world by carrying off the coveted prize as a maiden, never having won a race until that eventful day in May. We believe our readers have found the reproduction of these charts of considerable interest and, but for the increasing number of meetings now under way or about to begin, these tabulations would be continued. However, such is not possible, though a brief summary of the Derbys of the past will be presented if space permits. The second group of summaries of the races from 1911 to 1914 are here shown: MERIDIAN— 1911. Meridian, by Brooriistick, carrying the colors of R. F. Carman of New York, scored I for the East in 1911, when he defeated the even money favorite, Governor Gray. A summary of the race follows: MERIDIAN— B. c, by a Broomstick— Sue Smith, by Masetto 1 GOVERNOR GRAY— B. g, by Garry Herr- man— Salama, by Himyar 2 COLSTON— B. c, by Filigrane — Commena, by The Commoner 3 Time, 2:05.

Two-year-old form— 12 starts, 3 wins, 3 seconds, 1 third. WORTH— 1912. Again in 1912 the East was triumphant, Worth winning for H. C. Hallenbeck of New York. Worth was the favorite and led all the way, but was hard pressed by Gallaher Brothers Duval at the end, only a neck separating the two as they dashed past the judges. A summary of the race follows: WORTH— Br. c, by Knight of the Thistle — Miss Hanover, by Hanover 1 DUVAL — B. c, by Lissak— Mary Greenwood, by Falsetto 2 FLAMMA— Ch. f, by Hastings— Flitter- mouse, by Rayon dOr 3 Time, 2:09%.

Aste, of New York, was a hot favorite, but after leading to the last sixteenth, gave way to the rank outsider, Donerail, owned by T. P. Hayes, of Lexington. Donerail paid 84.90 for in the mutuels and was the longest priced winner in the history of the Derby.
