looked fit to run for her owners life,
and murmurs of approval were heard
from all quarters as Taral got up in his
saddle and sent her quarter just TO get
her walked up. Next out was x, with
Flette in the saddle, but the stride of
the chestnut colt did not meet the ap-
proval of the critics, and attention was
turned to Logic, who was sent
past the stand at gallop, almost bent
double with the grip kept on him by the
wiry arms of the little colOred rider
Warwick. That the crowd knew
horse when they saw him, however, was
proved by the roar of approval which
greeted the long-legged winner of the
with Elkie aboard, Strayed gently by
the Judges and went in for little quiet
canter preliminary to the race. Logic
stock went up greatly as the wonderful
stride of the Queer-gaited bay was
noticed in the spin down the quarter.
cpl bet 100 to 70 Logic wins the
Derby" shouted loudly-attired indi-
vidual in voice loud enough to have
been heard at Monmouth Park.
"Done," quietly remarked little man
in gray, who hadn't been saying word
but had his eye open for an opportunity
to saw wood. make it 200 to 140?"
asked he of the lurid plumage. YES"
was the quiet reply, and the bet was
made. lie Premier's cooked" shouted
a fellow who KNEW it all and had backed
Logic for every cent he possessed.
"Mulkey's horse is off his legs"
was heard on all sides, and
thus the four entries were sized
up by one or another of the
crowd, until when the bugle sounded it
was hard matter for an outsider who
had no previous acquaintance with any
of the entries to form any opinion as to
their respective chances. There was a
good deal of side betting as the four big
'uns cantered down to the start, and ere
the last of these had been closed the
flag had fallen and they were off. Every
man, woman and child in the grounds
was standing up and craning his or her
neck to get view of the field, as
like a flash it passed the stand
and was gone down the quarter
stretch. x took the lead at the start,
with Fleete riding him hard to increase

to the closing of the books for the
Derby. Inside the spacious inclosure
were twenty bookmakers calling in the
dull monotone of the ring the odds
against the various entries. Packed
like sardineS in very tight box were
5000 struggling, excited men. each with
hands III the air, in which greenbacks
of different denominations were fran
tically waving. There was stam-
pede for Logic for the great Derby
event, and the bets couldn't be regis
tered fast enough. "Here you are,"
sang the bookies, "3 to 2 against the
winner of the Kansas City Derby, to
against x. 6 to l Sallie Hagan, even
money against Logic" Sallie Hagan
had good many supporters at the price
quoted, and x was not wanting for
friends. LIE Premier had many sup
porters. but the report circulated that
great three-year-Old son of Luclfer was
off his feet had had its effect, and dead
sure tips that Logic would win the
Derby were heard on all sides from
men who said they knew what they
were talking about. Every one wanted
Logic Just before the start, and the bay
colt carried more than half the money
bet on the race. For the inaugural
race Mamie Fonso was favOrite with
to / laid against her twenty minutes
before the start, Havillah to l, Mabel
to l, Benson to l. Sixty TO l was
laid against Antonio, Adriatic and Jou
Jou, while Boy Blue wasn't much OF
mark at 80 to l. Just before the start
Mabel was quoted at to 2, and Mamie
Fonso at to |, at which figures they
remained when the books closed for the
race. In the second race Lotion and
Angelus were the picks, with Zulu also
well supported. Odds of 2 to l were
laid against Angelus. to 1 against LO-
ton and the same against Zulu.
Jou JOu was quoted at s to l
Cora Fisher 8 to 1, Cora L and Lizzie b
at Is to 1, and FoSteral at20 to l, Entry

third race at 3 to 1. Odds of 10 to 1 were
laid againt Bon Air, 15 to l Castilian. 20
to Alta, to Vivian, to l The Elk,
25 to l Thankful, so to Park, so to
Stella. In the fifth race, Morse was a
warm favOrite at even money: BeSsemer
at 3 to 2, and Henry Mack at to l, were
also much wanted and were heavily
backed. The rest of the field, with the
exceptions of Worth and Bob Ric kett,
were backed in different places at to
l, while the last two named at 4 to had
but few takers.
There were more bookmakers on the
ground by good many than stands had
been provided for, and lots were drawn
for places. 1t wasn't the best of days
for the hackers, and the bookies were
not kicking when the numbers went up
on the last race of the day.

the lead, none knowing better than he
the temper of the reStive chestnut.
Second at the start was LIE Premier,
with Elkie sitting hands down and full
of confidence in the stallion. Logic
came tearing along with Warwick also
sitting down in his saddle, and saving
his mount for the last quarter. Sallie
Hagan did not get away very well at
the start, but was even with the
field at the turn, and at the
half was being ridden in close
company to LIE Premier, who had
passed X and Logic at the turn, and
was now length to the good of both of
them, with Sallie at his girths. At the
three-quarter post x and Logic gave
up, and the last half was practically
race between Sallie and her beau, with
the odds in the gentleman's favor.
Coming into the stretch both jockeys
began to ply the whip, Taral playing
the devils tattoo on the filly's delicate
shoulders in an effort to lessen the dis
tance between her and LIE Pre-
mier. Then came the spur. and
down the stretch they thuudered, both
whip and spur going, the hero Of
Kansas City being just as hard ridden
as his adversary. No amount of whip,
however, could produce the desired re-
suit, and LIE Premier went past the
j judges winner by two lengths, with
Logic four lengths in the rear, and x
bringing up the tail of the procession
ten lengths behind. Time, 2:1O. Sum-

THE IDOL OF THE DAY.

enjoy and applaud must perforce be a
success; and those who gazed upon the
spectacle presented at Hamline yeSter-
day, when the meeting was at its
height, saw what has never been dupli-
Gated in this section of the coun-
try in the line of multitudes, equipages,
enthusiasm and satisfaction. 1t is true
there was regret, even disgust in some
quarters, at the non-appearance of such
flesh as Spokane, Hindoocraft, Terra
Gotta, Galen and Macbeth, after they
had beenvigorously announced, but the
reasonable part of that vast throng was
reconciled to the good things it did see,
and contented itself with the reflection
that the club was in no wise to blame
for what it did not see. 1t is also a
source Of great qualification to know
that such prime success is now as
sured for this inaugural meeting, that
the club will feel encouraged and justi-
fed in so extending its scope next year
as to leave out no horses desired by the
most critical Lover of fancy equine flesh.

This was augmented by the rush of the
other $4,000 who had failed to get seats,
and frantically struggled for positions
of vantage along the track fence. Never
was more perfect weather for race
meeting than that which prevailed
yesterday. A pleasant breeze blew
across the hills, and through
the stand. with just sufficient force to
cool the heated brows of the excited oc
cupants and rattle the silks of the jock
keys as they went flying by in prelimi-
nary gallops. The sun shone with
sufficient degree of brightness, yet

A FINE TRACK.
When the track was examined by
,half-a-dozen owners a short time pre-
vious to the opening race yesterday,
the universal opinion was that the
condition thereof was IN every way
equal to that of the Washington Park
track last week, and every whit as fast.

was finer day to smile upon a July
landscape. 1t was clear without being
binding, and warm but not Suffocatiug.
If the gold and silver-badged governors
of the club had ordered the day made to
suit the occasion. they could not have
turned out more perfectly lovely one.
The people of the Twin cities and the
Northwest are by no means backward
in testifying to their appreciation
of a good thing, or to their en-
couragement of bold stroke.
The running meeting was both. 1t was
a daring piece of enterprise to thus
inaugurate such a meeting, with its tre-
mendous involving of finances; and it
was a brilliant success in all that goes
to make up big race proceeding.
