DAN LEHAN SEES ALL DERBYS LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5.— Few are the old-timers who have witnessed every Kentucky Derby since its inception in 1875, but "Uncle Dan" Lehan, the sage of Jefferson-town, will be among those present at historio Churchill Downs tomorrow afternoon when the great three-year-old classic comes up for decision for the sixty-fifth consecutive time. "Uncle Dan," despite the many yeara behind him, is still capable of and does condition thoroughbreds for racing. While some boast of seeing all Derbys of the past, Lehan recalls that he was present for the first race to be run over the Churchill Downs track, with Bonaventure proving the victor.
