KINGMAN WINS THE DERBY.
A Hollow Victory Over Poor List in Slo
Time,


The lowest estimate of the attendance on the
races over Churchill Downs near Louisville
yesterday was 5000. The scratching of Poet
Scout, Georgetown and valeria reduced the
number Of starters to four and this makes it
the smallest field that ever started for the KeE-
lucky derby. Those that went to the post we're
Balgowan, with Overton up; High Tariff, r.
Williamson the saddle; Kipgman, piloted by 1.
Murphy, and Hart Wallace. ridden by Kiley.
All carried 122, and the race was worth to the
winner $4,000 net In the betting Kingman
ruled the hottest of favorites at to s. while it
was 8 to Balgowan, 6 to Hart Wallace, 10 to
High Tariff.
As a contest the race was by odds the poorest
in the history OF Churchill Downs The track
while not fast was good, yet SO slow was the
first half mile run that the slOwest derby yet
recorded WAS the result, the race being run in
25214. For five furlongs the field close together
ran at an exciting clip; then Hart Wallace
moved to the fore and kept the others for
another five furlongs merry on their feet to
keep within striking distance of him.
At the turn-in for home, however. he shot his
bolt, and kingman Joined issue in the final run
In. For an instant the former seemed danger
GUS. but, the latter, responding to Murphy 8
calls. drew off again at the stand and won by a
length. while High Tariff finished the same dis
lance behind Balgowan. In the opinion of
many the latter might have won had the pace
been set stiff from the start, but what chances
he had were lost by virtually making the race
dash of mile.
On the whole, the race was a farce and hardly
deserves to rank in line with the history Of this
event in other years.
This spring. with his derby victory, Kingman
has won three races and is, as yet, unbeaten in
his three-year-oid form. His best previous
performance to his race yesterday was the
Phoenix Hotel stakes at Lexington in which he
beat fine field and covered the distance nine
furlongs, in the best time ever run by three
year-old, 1.53E. He is well engaged in rich
| stakes, chief among which is the American
derby at Chicago. He is the second horse bred
in Tennessee to win the derby and the fourth
that has been ridden to victory in that race by
Isaac Murphy. He is also the second derby
winner trained by Dudley Allen, he having sent

geance in New Orleans.
Chevalier Pasquale Corte. the Italian consul
at New Orleans who has been recalled stated
yesterday that he was summoned to Rome be-
cause his presence was desired there to testify
concerning the lynching.
MY chief desires my presence" added
Senior Corte. ale has summoned me and l am
about to obey. At any rate why should be
recalled? Because have expressed my opin-
ion as an italian upon the barbarity of the acts
complained of? God forbid that as a gentle
man and free agent in free country and
officially the representative of one of the
European powers I should be taken to task for
having the courage to express an opinion upon
matters vital to the dearest sentiments of INV
countrymen. Do your people expect that /
think as your mayor does or the foreman Of the
grand jury?"
Mr. Corte was allowing his feelings to over
master him. but he checked himself in time
and continued In q more composed manner
Pardon ME, my dear sir. if have spoken
too aninlatedly, but l am naturally impulsive
and words follow consonantly with the impetu-
osity OF my thoughts. have Just now alluded
to the mayor and grand jury. Let me tell you
that l have saved Mayor Shakespeare's life.
And have done the same service to Mr.. Park

Some snow and sleet fell here on
Thursday afternoon.
Owing to the season Of year our
school remains full.
Sorry to learn that Mrs. Lucy Lake
is again confined to her room very i'll.
Mrs. Salle Kinard is still lying at
her daughters in low condition. Mrs.
Kinard is an aged lady of eightyive
summers, and there is very little hopes
of her recovery.
Mr.. James Crosson, of Lewiedale,
spent few days here last week.
Messrs. Edgar and Carol Shealy, of
st. Paul's community, spent Saturday
night with friends in this neighbor-
hood.
The overseers Of public highways in
this neighborhood are trying to put the
same in better condition this week.
Owing to the abundance of rain it
seems to be a difficult matter to i'm

It seems strange to see the Anderson
train passing by us this week, as she
now makes her run from Columbia to
Anderson and return each day. Such
kind act upon the part Of the railroad
authorities will certainly be appre-
ciated by the public generally. The
old reliable Laurens also passes through
our quiet little community just the
same.
Married, on last Thursday afternoon
at Mr.. Henry Smiths residence, by
Rev. J. a. Sigh, Mr.. John c. Griffin
and Miss Rebecca Smith. We learn
the occasion was a pleasant one, how,
ever, only few invited guests were
present. On Friday evening goodly
number in this community gathered
together and gave the happy couple
cheering serenade at the groom's resi-
dcnce near here, which was enjoyed b.
both parties. Thus another one of on
young men has joined the matrimonial
tie that binds, and yet there are NOR
to follow. We wish the happy coupl
long and happy journey through life
and so mote it be. SIGMA.
