Peerless YO Tambien.

Peerless Yo Tambien.
AS s.proud queen of the turf there is
none to dispute her title.
All the honors the turf had to bestow
were heaped upon the fleet Firenzi and
the unconquered Miss Woodford, but
both of these paragons must yield the
palm to the handsome chestnut daugh-
ter of Joe Hooker and Marion. who has
carried off every rich prize of the year
for which she has been entered.
And with such ease. too. Every time
she has set her own pace and headed
the procession to the wire. only exert
Ing herself far enough to keep daylight
between her saffron tail and the nose of
the nearest aspirant.
She won the big race yesterday, and
added to her crown of victories the Twin
City Derby of 1892. Pity of it was that
it required so little effort. Never once
was the gallant filly in trouble. From
the fall OF the flag to the time she crossed
the wire to thunders of applause, her
shapely nose was out of sight of the
small and Insignificant field. Once
only, just as they got Strengthened out
III the stretch, Bolivar Buckner, the
game son of BlazesAlice. made bold
challenge and managed to get his nose
opposite Yo Tambien's withers. That
was all. Jockey Thorpe let go one of
the wraps in the lines, raised his whip
and the race was over. The whip never
fell. There was no need for it. The
darling of the Kendall stables made one
little squirt and Buckner fell back
beaten.
Going in Mud.
The time was not fast, in itself. No
mile and a quarter derby of the year
has been run as slowly as 2:17. But
when it is remembered the track was
sea of mud and that it was really a
walk-over for the beautiful filly with
the Spanish name, 2:17 was not bad
Worse holS Ses have won derbies on the
Twin City track in better than 2:10, but
then the track was fast and the going
good. Yo Tamben could give fifteen
pounds to the best of those former Win
nerS and win III a canter. 1t must also
be remembered that the unapproacha-
BILE filly carried 124 pounds, the penal
ties of many victories, and this weight
has been carried for the distance, to
win. by enc tiliy only this year-Y ork-
vile Belle, the crack of the Eastern
tracks.
Very little was done in the books on
the Derby. YO Tambien was literally
out of sight. One ventursome book
maker scratched out l to against her,
but there was plunge of speculation
that quickly rubbed it out. On most of
the betting boards there was dull blank
opposite her name. and the books ell
deavored to entice money on second
horses. Bolivar Buckner was selected
by the talent for the place. and, thought
even money was at first offered, the
price was backed down by stages units
it reached l to 2, though as good as II
and 10 to 1 straight could be had oe
him. Newton, the winner of tn
Latonia Derby. was little sought for +,
and as high as 15 to l straight and to
place were laid against him. He was

factor i'll the race. Leon. the Cana
dian horse, though fine-loOking beast,
full in flesh, is out of place except be-
tween the shafts of a cart, and was evil
IDENTITY merely filler, to make four in
the race. The bOOkies laid as high as
30 to against his winning chances, and
quite number of dollars at these
odds came in from the amateur sports
men. The books lost money on the
race, as much of the place money was
for Buckner to run second.
On Dress Parade.
The Derby was the fourth race on the
card, and the crowd was somewhat i'm
patient for it to come on. AT the post
bugle call there was a general desertion
of the betting ring. and even the lawn.
