THE AMERICAN DERBY.
CHICAGO, June 23.-Fully 90 900 people
went to Washington Park this afternoon
to see the American Derby run. 1t was
OF great interest, Notwithstanding that ii
had been discounted ever since the list
of probable starters was first given, and
the Emperor Of Norfolk was regarded a
sure winner, unless the track
was very muddy, he did not
disappoint his hackers. The field
which was the smallest that ever ran in
this event. The odds on Baldwin's pair
were almost prohibitive, l to being Of
fered at the start. Pinkerton was offered
5 to l, Falcon to !, The Lion 10 to l,
White II to l, The Chevalier 80 to l.
Place betting was 8 to 2 against
Pinkerton, 8 to Falcon. 4 to
The Lion and White, and to l
The Chevalier. No odds on the En-
peror. There was good start, with Los
Angeles slightly in the lead. White
forged ahead and set out to make the
running. The Emperor was two lengths
behind at the quarter. The Lion was up
with the latter and the others behind.
Near the stand the Lion closed
up and took third place, and
soon was picking up on Los
Angeles. Emperor was coming along un-
der a strong pull. When the quarter
was reached, the Lion had passed Los
Angeles and was struggling with White.
Baldwin's pair followed two lengths be-
hind, up and up. Falcon came after, but
slow pace had nearly spent Pinkerton
and the Chevelier when they reached
the half. The Lion got very slight
lead on White, but as they swept past
the three-quarters Murphy let up, and
the Emperor with the greatest grace
came up, passed the horses in the stretch
and swept down as he pleased. Hamilton
on Falcon tried rush at the furlong and
secured place, but his efforts tc
catch the Emperor were in vain, and the
latter came under the wire the winner by
a length, with ease. Falcon was second
