Epsom Downs is not a flat mile-and-a-half but a tricky course which first runs uphill, drops down around a sharp turn, rises again at the finish. Coming into the stretch, Goya II forged in front as Perifox and the Aga Khan's Le Grand Duc moved up to challenge. Goya II soon faltered and Jockey Michael Beary, who had run Mid-Day Sun to the outside to escape the friction at the turn, pushed his steed fresh down the sun-baked stretch, streaked up to a clean length's lead.

Last week George Pepperdine was bubbling with plans for a new enterprise to be called George Pepperdine College.

By the end of the afternoon Pitt and Columbia were not two points apart and the ⅜-in. margin proved crucial. In the determining...
Hung on opposite walls are masterpieces of the painter's early and middle styles: Lady at the Piano, painted in 1879, an example of the purest Renoir radiance, and Mine Renoir Nursing Pierre, in which the artist used flat, dry colors and a linear definition of forms very different from the technique by which he is commonly known. The same room contains a bronze relief, done in 1914, of a painting. The Judgment of Paris, done in 1908 and now the property of Actor Charles Laughton. Racked by arthritis during the last 20 years of his life, Renoir...
