Policemen Guarding

Horses And Course: Royalty To Attend

London, May 23.

More heavily guarded than usual, 29 blue- blooded race horses are waiting in the stables at Epsom Racecourse on the eve of the 159th running of the English Derby.

The horses are always guarded overnight, but this year due to fears of I.R.A. attempts extra heavy cordons of plainclothes police- men and uniformed police are patrolling the track day and night and are having a busy time challenging arrivals, since the vanguard of the crowds began to arrive long before dawn to-day to ensure having the best positions on the rails in the free section on Bunkers Hill inside the course.

It is estimated that a quarter of a million people will watch this year's classle which is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. to-morrow, packing a line of stands stretching for a quarter of -mile from the winning post and jam- ming Epsom's famous Tattenham Corner where the horses enter the final stretch. The crowds will stand almost shoulder to shoulder on the hii among hundreds of bookmakers stands, fish and chip stalls, ice cream
