RATTLING RACES,
Great Britain Gathered at the
EPSON Course.
The Hanlan and Riley Row at
Washington.
EPSON RACES TODAY.

National Associated Press to the Star.
LONDON, May 26.-The great event Of the
racing season, the race for the Derby stakes
of about mile and half. took place on
EPSON Downs to-day and was won by Ben
dor, with Robert the Devil second and
Mask third Nineteen horses ran.
The weather was very brilliant The
sun shone goriously, but not with too
much fervor and the crowd in attendance
was unusually large. The track was very
hard.
An unprecedented calamity occurred this
morning.
This being the day for the Derby race, the
immense crowd of people went early this
morning to the EPSON Downs. The Downs
were unusually dry. and the herbage was
parched. By some mischance, it is said by
the accidental spreading Of a fire kindled
by Gypsy family for cooking their break
fast, the furze took fire, and the fire spread
very rapidly. At this moment the furze is
blazing all over the top of the hill, and the
flames are advancing towards the stand
and the course. The mob is immense. and
the heat is intense. Fears were expressed
that the race would be postponed, but the
high wind prevailing moderated after the
fire among the furze had burned for some
time, and the flames were suppressed.
THE HANLAN-RILEY RACE.
WASHINGTON. May 26-It is evident from
the indications that the Hanlan-Riley boat
race on the Potomac this evening is not
going to attract any thing like the throne
of spectators from outside Of the city which
came to witness the Hanlan-C Courtney
match.
1t is also noticeable that there is an al.
most utter absence of betting. The race it.
self, however, promises to be an excep.
tionaly good one. The extreme hot
weather has brought both men trifie un.
der weight but they are in excellent trim
and both say they will row to win. All ar
rangements for the race have been com
pleted.
The time for the race has now been fixed
at 6 o'clock p m. Seven carloads of strang-
ers came in to-day.
HANLAN rs NOT SICK.
The report circulated to-day that Han
Ian is sick is false He is in excellent con.
dition and will row. The betting is two to
one in favor Of him. Very few strangers
are here except New Workers.
The crowds about the hotels are slim and
the race is hardly more than local one
comparatively. Little interest is manifest
ed. Not more than 5000 of pools were sold
last night.
