all stand out with astonishing
clearness for a book as large as the
annual.
Featured as one of the special at
tractions of the book, are candid
camera shots of the campus, includ
ing pictures of last year's May Day,
g
the
day celebrations,
and various and sundry campus big
shots at work and at play. The
latest of all the Innovations In the
Kentucklan is the section called
"Shots of the Campus," which gives
a collection of thumb-na- il
accounts
of the activities of the fraternities,
sororities, and independents.
It's
the first time we've seen an ac
count of fraternity activities in
print.
The section on athletics is a fine
summary of the work of the footfall, basketball, track, tennis, and
golf teams, with enough pictures of
the athletes to delight both the
boys on the team and .the coeds.
We've saved the "Beauties" for
last. The pictures of the prettiest
girls are the best that have ap
peared In any annual up to the
present time. Smooth, and finished
looking, the photographs measure
up in all cases to the beauty of the
girls they depict.
Enough of this! Get your an
nual today, and seniors, don't for

ELEANOR RANDOLPH

By MARJORIE RIESER
When the world looks with envy
upon Kentucky once every spring,
when thousands of people Journey
to the Bluegrass state and Louis
ville, Its largest city, when hospitality is at its height, when Dame
Fashion turns out in her best, when
black faces beam, when mint Juleps
are a reality, the reason is, as you
have already guessed, the Kentucky
Derby.
This famed classic which will be
held for the 83rd time tomorrow at
historic Churchill Downs In Louisville, brings a passing thought.
How many persons in the mingling
throng. Including you students who
will cut classes to attend, will ever
know the cost of sending a horse
to the po6t?
Taking minor things into con
sideration, the price of the saddle,
which weighs scarcely a pound, is
$50.00; the bridle, $15.00; the colors,
or shirt and cap of the Jockey,
blinkers, $5.50; and leg
$20.00;
wrappers, $2.00.
Entrance fee is $25.00 and if the
horse starts an additional $500.00
is necessary. Jockey's fee depends
on the skill, value, and experience
of the Jockey.
Prices of yearlings are astound
ing. For Instance, last year Man 'O
War colts brought anywhere from
War Admiral, a
$800 to $18,000.
Derby candidate and a son of Man
'O War, would have been in this
group If sold.
The food for a horse amounts to
over a dollar a day. Medicine, doctor's bills, stable help, trainer's and
exercise boy's salary all tend to expand the cost in conditioning a
horse for the mile and a quarter
classic.
If the horse wins, he earns for
his owner between $45,000 and $50,- 000, a gold trophy, a floral wreath
containing 500 red roses and the
glory and glamour that belongs to
such a victory.
If the horse loses his owner will
probably take the attitude that the
best had been done and there is
always tomorrow.
