the supports creaked as the line OF blue
coats forced back the crowd: and the
TACT was clearly demonstrated that it
was less perilous to allow the reckless
mob to remain unmoIested. The hub
bub was at its height when Snapper
Garrison, lightly resting on the back of
SNOWFALL, cantered out into view and
centered every eye on the track. He
was heartily cheered, as was also Lewis
on Kingman and Fitzpatrick Oh Michael.
Strathmeath's sleek coat and beautifully
clean limbs were narrowly scanned py

Balgowan was scratched about an
hour befor the race. There was much
regret expressed al Potomac's failure to
start, though it had been known for
some days that the Futurity winner had
pulled up lame in his work and in con-
sequence could not be sent West. At
last the bugle sounded for the race and
frlghtful crush began to secure ad-
Vantageous positions from which to
view the race. For moment at this
Juncture all eyes were turned to Wig
orous-looking colt that was galloping
toward the grand stand. The familiar
face of George Coyington was seen in
the saddle. "It'S Strathmeath," shout
ed thousands. Sure enough, it was the
Junior Champion winner He was
cheered to the echo by his many ad-
mirers. Next came Kingman, the hero
of Louisville and Latonia.

as the great son of Glengarry galloped
by the stand. The Campbell pair were
next, and one by one the horses found
their way TO the starters post. Starter
Sheridan mounted his box aud lectured
the boys. Then the horses were
placed in line and were ready for the
dozen refusing TO break. The second
attempt was without result. At the
third trial the horses moved in solid
phalanX toward the starter. Sheridan'S
red flag was poised in the air for an in
stanr, and with swish descended. A
mighty shout went up from the multi

thousands realized with thrill of de-
light that the great Derby was on.

Kingman third. Passing the stand

and had been showed relentlessly

sheer force of will, seemed determined
to make a showing equallng his
past record on the course, and
sufficient, if within human possibility,
to again carry off the la1rels. Well did
the good animal respond to KIley's
calls. He was visibly gaining, and had
passed three competitors, when nature
rebelled.. An instant later the feet
racer was hopeless cripple, founder

ture of his former self. Kiley regret
fully tried to check the poor wreck. and
at last succeeded, only moment later
to feel the animal tremble and fall in
heap. KileY hastily eXtricated himself
unhurt. Meanwhile the pace of the

Strathmeath by the outer rails up with
rush, stealing the former tactics of
Kingman's rider, and won by an open

Poet Scout was second, half length
before Kingman, third. Time, 3:494.
Of the other races decided, two were
won by favorites, and as Strathmeath
