Britain's winter, worst in 66 years, was responsible for the big list and contributed to the riddle. It forced cancellation of all steeple- chaslns- since January 21 and re- i tarded the training of all entries. With no clues as to form, the hopeless longshots, traditionally banished to the pastures by now, are being left Im because there is no proof the favorites are superior. Even the bettor’s first choice, Prince Regent, is offered at the long price of 6 1-2 to 1, Best prededent for the current situation was 1929 when bad weath- also curtidled training. Slxty- er six chasers, record for the national, went to the post and a 100 to 1 chance, Oregalach, won. The U. 8. hope, Refugio, is own ed by Mrs. FrS[nk Adams of Middle- burg, Va., and was trained in Cam den. Her son. Frank, Jr., will ride the nlne-yeaf-old gelding in the Na tion, won by American entries twice—by Rubio in 1908 and Bat tleship in 1938. The National, expected to pay 152,000, is run over a triangular 2 1-2 mile course, with the horses making almost two laps and 30 Jumps. Only six of last year’s 34 run ners—one was killed—finished, and the odds are 4 to 1 against i^ny horse completing the most grueling of all races. SUmina and soaring ability are more important than speed.

Harrison and I.Jghtfoot, aces of the polo group here, staged a private war by themselves. Light- foot who scored five counters in the Palmetto win last Sunday found his offensive today stymied by the sensational defensive play by Har rison. Neither Harrison or Lightfoot registered on the score sheet. Both riders put up brilliant riding and Lightfoot had tho crowd on its feet time and again by his sensa tional rallies, only to have the grand exalted ruler of the Camden polo world awaiting to break up the scoring threat. It was Jim Sweet, a vastly ,Improved rider, who saved the Palmettqs from the Ignomy of a whitewash. His score came in the third chukker. And the two players who did the counting for the winners were Kir by Tupper, Jr., the bridegroom from Chester, and Moultrie Burns, gentleni.nn rider of Camden. Tup per scored in the second and third and Burns in tho third. Announcement was made that the much-talked of Camden-West Point Military Academy team game would be played next Sunday at 3 o’clock. ings would be Issued later. Tbe flying train, tn leaving the main line, crashed into several box cars standing on Ute siding, de- 'Inollshing them and scattering 'their contents, mostly pulpwood over a wide radius. Aiding in handling the confused situation after the wreck were Chief of Police Alva Rush, Coun ty Rural Officer Wilbert Williams, while the efficiency of tne Korno- gay Ambulancu service was out standing. > The Sun Queen carried ninety passengers, -according to an official. The wreck put the spotlight on Cassatt and vicinity all day. Hun dreds of cars carrying curious pas sengers overflowed all available parking apace. Reports published in afternoon papers last Saturday to the eWeet that a score or more of people had been Injured wore exaggerated. So far as could be ascertained by a check of the some 90 passengers aboard the Sun Queen, there was one man, Joseph J. Cragin of Ports mouth. Va., who, with the engineer of the train, J. H. Johnson of Raleigh, were hospitalised* ip the- local hospital. They were not In Jured seriously. A number of passengers repo:t- ed being shaken up and bruised but there was not a single instance of any one suffering any broken bones. R. E. Hughlet of Hamlet, a rail way employee riding In the express car, declared that when the emer gency brakes were applied, he and the others in the car threw them selves on the floor, realizing that a wreck was Imminent. The same happened in the mail car where five employees' were sorting mail. The hundreds of bags of mall in the car acted as a buffer to the men when the car turned over. Nona were injured.
