AT the third trial the horses moved in

thousands realized that the great Derby
was on.

third. Oyerton now began to ride firing
the leader desperately, and for a moment
it looked as if he might win, but Coving-

outer rail with rush. stealing the former
tactics of Kingman's rider, and won by an

stake race OF the West was over. 1t was
by Strathmeath, the New York favorite,
that the battle was won. Half mile off,
where had been the thick of the fight, lay
motionless on the track the corpse of High
Tariff, Tonic kelly's gallant beast. Riley,
twice Derby victor on that course had
this time pushed the limit of equine en-
durance. There was sudden
plunge upward, a queer stagger of
twenty yards and High Tariff
sank down into the mud l1feless Whether,
in point of horses, famous jockeys, mag
nificence of fashionable display and
marvellous outpouring of people, as well as
sensational incidents and bulky purse,
probably no such race was ever witnessed

in Chicago. No one of the seven Derbys
that in preceding years have made Wash

the interest of today's event.
The weather was very good, being just
cloudy enough to prevent the hot June sun
from making the day uncomfortable 1t
had been raining here for three days, but
not drop fell today. Such multitude of
ladies as put in an appearance at
the track was something unprecedented,
and so great was the crush that hundreds
of them were wedged helplessly in the
enormous mob of male spectators that
packed the lawn and was solid clear in
front of the betting ring. No aisle or stair
way in the grand stand offered an inch of
standing room. The galleries and roofs
were black with people. while the APP
proaches from one end of the stretch to the
other, including even the clubhouse
grounds, were full almost to suffocation.
In the field showed line after line of all
manner of vehicles, loaded down with peo-
pie. Everybody agreed that, despite the
yielding, dustless condition of the soil that
the rains had lett, the race, with the array
of powerful animals entered, was to be a
magnificent struggle.
So intent was the huge concourse of
people on the real event of the day that
the first two races passed almost I'M

was to ride kingman in the Derby, ap-
peared in the second astride of Santiago.
Friends of the Blue Grass Derby winner

ago in winner. Many a misguided Ken
tuckian and other well-meaning persons
now straightway went to the betting
booths and pinned their money and their
faith on Kingman.
