roar of 10000 voices at Washington park
to-day. If the noted Kentucky thor
Oughbred bearing the familiar name
had really been the uncle of the thou
sands shrieking his cognomen, he could
not have responded more graciously.
With ridiculous ease, the noble blue
grass beauty plunged forward down the
long stretch Of spongy mud and jumped
past the judges the winner of SIS, 900
cash stakes and the first honorS of the
American Derby. A more inspiring
spectacle has seldom been witnessed
than the gathering of the throng which
came to see decided the great event
of the Western turf. Notwitl
standing the cyclones of rain
last night. and the forbidding look of
this mornings sky. grand stand and
green Sward seemed buried beneath the
swarming people long before the hour
set for the races. Gradually the crush
increased, and when the opening con-
tests began, every aisle and stairway, to
say nothing of seats, was Jammed to
suffocation. In the carriage ling, mat
terS were even worse. The lines of We
ing SO far away from the fence as to
leave little chance for view to the
majority of occupants, except the
Lucky Ones in Coaches,
or those who could be lifted on COM
rade's shoulder. With all this, steam
railroad and cable trains kept discharg
ing other hundreds of people at the
gorged gateways, one line even re-
sorting to pressing in sleep
ing coaches and baggage cars to
meet the demands for transportation.
When the bell rang for the Derby jock
eyS to weigh in. it was brilliant pict-
ure that presented itself, i'll a haSty
glance at the gay ribbons tiuttering
everywhere from the myriad bright bon
nets and dresses, with the dazzling
groups at the club house as the center
of attraction. while away in the back
ground could be dscerned dozens OF
eager enthusiasts darkening the tele-
graph poles and housetOpS for glimpse
of the Derby runners. Cheering began
immediately on the appearance of the
first contestant. 1t was Good. Bye, fol-
lowed closely with Ben KingSbury, Jed,
Mount Lebanon and Sunnybrook. An
nouncement had already been made of
the withdrawal of Protection, FrOntiro,
Sinaloa and Grayson. Last of all came
the favortes, Uncle Bob am6ling out
from the paddock, and Lucky BaldWin'S
entry, the sinewy-looking Californian,
Santiago, praIcing in the opposite di
rection from the stables. While the
bulk of the mob was shouting itself
hoarse with long pent up joy, many an
anxious chap with money on the race,
studied once again the card where it
said: ''Third race, the American
Derby, a sweepstakes for three-year-
olds, al $3.50 each, with $500 added,
s., 900 to second, and $500 to third horse,
one and half miles," Below were the

The seven horses were quickly as
sembled at the post, and before the
thousands of straining eyes could real
iZe it the red flag of Starter Sheridan
had fallen. The thoroughbreds were
off like the wind, but perfectly aligned
as a file of Infantry. Then the shouting
i'll the grand stand began, swelling into
a mighty roar, as the exciting journey
continued. Good Bye was first to forge
a trihe ahead but 1t was only trife,
and the seven nervy beasts raced round
neck and neck in bunch. Passing the
stand Jed was slightly in the lead. with

Bob and Santiago were toward the rear.

from almost last. while Good Bye fell
back to become tail-ender to the finish.
Along the back stretch they came, still
punched closely, when rounding the
turn Ben KingSbnry and Jed made a
Play for the Leadership.
Kingsbury got it for an instant, head
ing Jed cleverly; but, as they entered
the stretch, the orange and black cap of
Kiley, on Uncle Bob, was noticed forg
ing grandly from the cluster. Close at
hand Sprang out the red Maltese cross,
boned California racer, Santiago.
Barnes, on Santiago, was making
plucky effort, but it was no use. Do
what he would, mud seemed to cling
desperately to Santiago's already tired
heels. The long stride and eXhauStless
wind of the son of Luke Blackburn was
uncomfortable, and, amid the most up
roariouS howlS of delight, Uncle Bob
darted past the wire two full lengths i'll
the lead, while Santiago was second,
only three-luarters OF length ahead
of KingSbury. Jed was fourth, some
distance off, while the others struggled
in, pulling up badly beaten. Time,
