England's greatest race is the Epsom Derby (June 5 this year). A great test preliminary for the Epsom Derby is the Thousand Guineas for fillies, run last fortnight at Newmarket, won by Taj Mah. Another favorite for the Epsom Derby is Cragadour, Lord Astor's colt. Drawings were announced last week in the ?1,000,000 ($4,860,000) London Stock Exchange Derby Sweepstakes. This year two tickets were issued for each of the 335 Derby entries. A ticket on Cragadour was drawn by one Jimmie Gibbs, aged...
Childs Cup. Four exquisitely-timed Columbia crews beat Princeton last week on brown-bottomed Lake Carnegie in the Childs Cup regatta.

Having won the century in 10 flat over Stevens of Dartmouth, he found himself in the deciding furlong race the only Crimson survivor of the trial heats, pitted against five Hanover entries of whom three had been credited with faster times than himself. He needed a second to win the meet for Harvard and he won a first, again over Stevens, in the time of 23 1-5 seconds, excellent...
