Will The Queen Win The Derby?
By ARCHIE QUICK
Will Her Majesty the Queen win the Derby? That is the question in all minds, and what a wonderful thing it would be if she led in Aureole after the historic 173 years' old Epsom race only four days after she had been crowned at Westminster Abbey!
The last occasion a reigning monarch won the Derby was when King Edward the Seventh's Minoru won in 1909 by a short head at seven to two from Louviers. Previously, as Prince of Wales, the King had succeeded in 1896 with Persimmon, --which had a neck win over a hot favourite, St Frusquin, and again His Royal High. ness had a victory in 1900 with Diamond Jubilee, the favourite, which beat Simon Dale by three lengths.

PARIS TOURNAMENT CONCLUDES
Hoad And Rosewall Win
Doubles Championship
Paris, May 31.
Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall, the 18-year-old Sydney youngsters, won the French International Men's Doubles Championship today when they overwhelmed fellow Australians Mervyn Rose and Clive Wilderspin 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 in the final.
Rose and Wilderspin were Australia's experimental Davis Cup pair, but they proved ineffective against the youngsters. Hoad had a brilliant last set with fine overhead play, volleys and smashes.
