Numerous; 1941 Races to Be Well Supported made to make fresh arrangements for the match. If the game is played over another course it is possible that another famous veteran, Alexander Herd, may take the place of Taylor who seemed, for unknown reasons, to have raised some very late objections to the match taking place. Herd was the first man to win the British Open Championship with a rubber-cored ball, when he triumphed at Hoylake in 1902
London, Feb. 3.
The Racing Calender has published entries for the classic races in 1941, the Derby, the Oaks, the Two Thousand Guineas, the One Thousand Guineas and the St. Leger.
The Derby has received 211 entries as compared with 345 for this year's race: The King has nominated two horses, Longships and Merry Wanderer. Longships is a colt by Lime-ight out of Ocean Nymph, and Merry Wanderer is a colt by Robin Goodfellow out of Frivole.
He has also entered these two horses in the Two Thousand Guineas but only Longships in the St. Leger. From this—it may be deduced that Longships is expected to be a stayer, for the St. Leger is two furlongs"end 132 yards longer than the Derby.
