Rain or shine, hot or cold, the
first event of the sixth annual ;
Sigma Chi Derby will begin at 3
o'clock on the green grass of
Kenan Stadium and mares from
seven stables will compete in the

to overshadow even the Ken

the finest mare in the show, Butt
said. This was the last time the
horse appeared in a public show,
he added.
The parade will move down
Franklin Street and turn onto
Raleigh Street. From there it
will turn right and proceed down
to South Columbia Street. It
will turn east at the Carolina
Inn, go past the Y Court and then
head for Kenan Stadium, where
the big events of the day will!
take place.
National Claiming will be the
first event, and two mares from
each competing stable will be en
tered in it. It is rumored that at
least ope entry from each should
have a fondness for bananas or
else develop a liking for them be
fore Friday.
The second event, which will
take eight entries from each
stable, will be the Grand Na
tional. Havre de Gras will be. the
third event, and it will be follow
ed by Show Horse and Pimlico
Special. "
Horses will be entered in the
races by seven local stables. They
will enter mares in each race and
will enter their best show horses
in the big Show Horse event.
Stables and the acts the mares
will present are Alpha Delta Pi
Farms, Casey Comfy Coffin Com
pany; Alpha Gamma Delta White
Fence Ranch, Sont Bon; CICA
Riding Academy, title not known;
