Iyrants reign was very brief, as McLaugh-
lin brought Joe Cotton forward ON the long
turn to the homestretch, when mightier
shouts went up, Joe Cotton is in front.
" He will win" A tough battle was fought
on the homestretch, Tyrant galloping neck
and neck with Joe to the last furlong, when
Joe pulled ahead, Mclaughlin sending him
in, comparatively easy winner, length
ahead. Tyrant was second, Brookwood
third ST. Augustine fourth. Time, 2:414.
The mutuals paid $40 10.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
NEW YORK, June 2lst.-The Herald saws
of yesterdays race: The Coney Island
Derby was to be run, at which Tyrant was
again to try conclusions with Joe Cotton
The public evidently did not desert the
Californian on account of his defeat in the
Tidal stakes. In addition to these two
champions, st. Augustine and Brookwood
had many followers. Many of the horses
were coughing. probably owing to the sud
den change Of temperature last Thursday
On every side an incessant bark, bark, bark
could be heard One thing conspicuously
noticeable as the horses cantered past the
stand was the improved condition of Ty-
rant since his race in the Tidal stakes Tues
day. He seemed full of fire and dash, and
at the post could not be prevented from
breaking away. He was in the lead in
more than half dozen false starts, and al
ways ran long way, an operation in
which he was always ably seconded by
Brookwood Beside these, Joe Cotton was
almost statueSque, so that his adherents
land they are legion) can still find excuse
for the defeat of their favorite. When the
flag fell st. Augustine showed in front for
few seconds, and then Brookwood took up
the running, with Tyrant third and Cotton
next. Brookwood made the pace down the
stretch, and swept by the grand stand in the
lead, with st. Augustine well up, and
Tyrant, Joe Cotton and Heva almost
Tapped. Tyrant went into third
place on the upper turn, and along
the back stretch Heva carried the cherry
and black into that position, Tyrant fourth
and Cotton last Going down by the stables,
Tyrant went out by his horses like flash,
and Cotton, not to lose a point, dashed
after him. Presently he was running on
even terms with the Californian, and on
the lower turn YVES leading him by a head.
with St Augustine third, and then Brook
wood and Heya. Up the stretch Cotton
took the lead of length and half from
Tyrant, and all the jockeys behind Nc
Laughlin were riding and all the people
cheering. The gallant struggle went on
with desperate energy, but the Californian
could not make the slightest encroachment
on Cotton's lead, and the latter won with
out punishment by a length and half
BrOokwood third, and then St Augustine,
Heva beaten Off After the race all the
Jockeys except Heva's were called up to the
stand, and there was q good deal of excite
ment and anxiety pending the official de-
termination ofthe result. 1t appeared that
a charge was made that when closing on
the turn to the straight Cotton cornered
against Tyrant, who in turn knocked
against ST. Augustine, who pressed Brook
wood against the rails. A claim Of foul
was made in behalf of Brookwood against
Joe Cotton, but the Judges did not disturb
the order in which the horses passed the
polls. This was apparently satisfactory to
the public, who applauded when the num-
bers went up.
