y ,,, ~m Kentucky Derbys of Past— From 1891 to 1894, Inclusive ■* 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 sixth group of summaries of the races from 1891 to 1894 are here shown: i KINGMAN — 1891. Isaac Murphy rode his third winner of the race when he scored with the 2 to 5 favorite Kingman after a hard ride over a track deep in mud, doing the mile and a half in 2:52%, the Derbys slowest time, yet before the most immense crowd ever at the course. A summary of the race follows: KINGMAN— B. c, by Glengarry— Patricia by Vauxhall. r. 1 BALGOWAN— B. c, by Strathmore— Trink- itat, by Thunderstorm.. 2 HIGH TARIFF— B. c, by Longfellow-Christine, by Australian 3 Time, 2:52.

The race of 1892 produced the duel between George J. Longs Azra, ridden by Lonnie Clayton, and Ed Corrigans Huron, guided by Tom Britton, which so frequently has been recounted as one of the most stirring contests of the last quarter of a century. Huron, coupled with Phil Dwyer, the only other starter, was odds-on, but Azra beat him by six inches.
