Of Favorite for English Derby Made Good in First of Classics Decided UNBEATEN LAST YEAR Gray Colt by Tetrarch Won in Easy Fashion all of Eis Races as Two -Year-Old London, April 13. Major T. Mc-Calmont's derby favorite, Tetratema, by The Tetrarch Scotch Gift, won the two thousand guineas today. W. Raphael's Allenby finished second and Sir E.

Pagot's Paragon was third. Newmarket, headquarters of the jockey club, regained today much of its pre-war brllllanco on the occasion of the running of the first of the five "Classic" races for three-year-olds, this being the Two Thousand Guineas. The second of these, the One Thousand Guineas, confined to fillies, is run on Friday next; the th'rd, The Derby, at Epsom on June 3, with tbe fourth, The Oaks, for fillies only, on the Friday following. The fifth and last of the classic races is the St. Leger at Doncaster on September 8.

In point of age, the St. Leger Is the oldest fixture, having been founded In 1776, with the Oaks In 1779 and the Derby the yar following. Tho Two Thousand dates from 1803 and the One Thousand from 1S14. Notwithstanding great difficulties all these races were run each year of the war, though under conditions that robbed them of much of then-ancient glory and prestige Many well known owners were unrepresented and fields were small. The TwoThou-and Guineas Is run over the Rowley mile at Newmarket and is confined to three-year-old colts and fillies foaled in 1917.

Nominations closed with 116 entries. In recent years the field has seldom much exceeded a dozen big fields, such as often go to the post for the Derby, being rare. Many great names in turf history are associated with this raco, but not many of its winners have gone on to win the Derby, and fewer still have achieved the "triple crown" of the St Leger also. The winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, a gray colt, was unbeaten as a two-year-old last. season, winning In easy fashion the five races he contested and a sum of over ten thousand pounds In stakes, his last race being over the six furlongs of the Middle Park plate at Newmarket, when he started aft odds-on favorite at four to one and spread-eagled his field.

It happened that he did not meet some of the best of his year, but his performance was so faultless that he ruled all through the past winter as strong a Derby favorite as recent turf history has' produced. There- were some doubters. They questioned whether he was a stayer and It is a fact that some of the progeny of The Tetrarch have proved rogues and often refuse to do their best. These critics seemed fully Justified, Kiku, 106; Redalo, 106; Matinee Idol, 108; Woodtrap, 108; Claquer, 110; General Haig, 110; Drastic, 112.

Koss (Special to The Gazette.) Havre, de Grace, April 28. Some idea of how strong a hand Harry Payne Whitney will hold In the three-year-old division this year was had here this afternoon when the New York Sportsman brought out two of his stars of this age and captured the two features on tho card. These racers were John P. Grier, which won the Candidate Handicap at a mile, and Upset, which took the Havre de Grace Consolation at a mile and seventy yards. Their victories were made the more striking as each carried topweight In hia test, John P.

Grier with 1C6 and Upset with 124. J. K. L. Ross' Foreground scored another victory in the sixth event at a mile and a sixteenth, defeating Tantalus and Costal Ford.

Kept under restraint until he turned into the stretch, Foreground moved up and disposed of his rivals, but had to be hustled along near the finish to stall off Tantalus, which made a rush through the stretch. Crystal Ford, at home in the going, had set tho pace all the way to the stretch turn, but tired suddenly and was third tea lengths back of Tantalus.

There is considerable doubt as to the ability of the N.L.U to weather the storm, but there is feeling that it will do so, and that it will be doing business at the old stand again. Two weeks ago the National La crosse Union decided to ask the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada to reinstate a number of former professional players.

This the Quebec branch of the AA.U. found Itself unable to do. Last week, when the N.L.U. got this saddening informa tion it was decided to make another appeal to the A.A.U. with the re quest that a system similar to that adopted by the British Football Association be put Into force, and that amateurs be allowed to mingle with professionals.

This is now before the Quebec branch of the A.A.U., and a reply will be ready for next Saturday. In view of the recent decisions as regards other matters, however. It is not likely that the A.A.U. will grant the request. In this event It will be up to the N.IU.

to bring about a showdown. THREE NEWCOMERS HAVE BEEN NAMED Nominations for M.A.A.A.

Although botfh horses and tractors were used In cleaning tho snow, tJlie tractors would have been useless If the horse had not first opened the way. In the country it was impossible to move any motors until horses had opened the rood.

Denver was without milk dVllvory for tlhree days, but th's morning the situation had ben returned to normal through the use cf horses. After the streets and road's were opened the motors were able to resume operations and helped materially In cleaning the city of snow, but Uie horses ware absolutely necessary on account of the heavy drifts which blocked both motors an tractors until the horses were able uiren a way inrough them. In view of the wide publicity giv-n to the introduction of the ordinance which has already discouraged many funnors from planning to breed their manes this season, I would appreciate your eourtewy If you would give Immediate publicity to this.
