gathering, the like of which
has never been seen before
After the midday hour the weather
cleared, and Old Soi threw his fiery
rays around III manner which made
every one believe that the old fellow
was simply delighted TO see the prep
arations of the citizens of the Twin
Cities to make general holiday.
The street car company hustled to ac-
commodate Its patrons, and at three
minute intervals rushed car after car
to the fair grounds. The railroads also
had long trains of coaches on hand at
the depots, and certainly there was no
cause of complaint even from the most
captious. And what a crowd it was
that made its way out to the track to
see the equine wonders battle for Su-
premacy.
Who was there? Well, that would
be hard to tell unless one had at hand a
directory of the two cities. Every one
was there in one sense of the word,
from the governor of the state down to
the humblest worker. Politicians. law
yers, state, county and city officials.
solid men OF business. doctors and the
representatives of every trade and pro-
fession could be seen in the handsome
grand stand. And then the ladies, who
are always the great attraction at race
meetings. Well, they were certainly
out in full force, and the beautiful cos
tunes they wore bewildered the eye, land
dazed the brain with their endless va
riety of colors. The Derby day is al
ways taken advantage of by the fair
sex to display the latest creation of
madame la modiste, and yesterdays
Derby day was no exception to the
rule. One could look over the mass of
humanity in the grand stand and see
costumes of every shade of color known
to science. 1t seemed as if the colors Of
the rainbow had been diSintergated and
used for the display. And what va
riety Of hats was seen, ranging from

SADDLE AND SPURS.

After the last race had peen run and every
one rushed for the train or carriages. there
was witnessed the most gorgeous display of
hosiery ever seen outside of a dry goods
store, and many of the fair sex had to be
lifted bodily across the running rvulets and
pools of water that had formed from the last
half hours rain. 1t was q sight for the gods.
Pretty 70 Tambien. 1t was indeed pref
ty sight as she came by the grand stand and
with a turn of her stately head that was al
most human, took a sweeping survey of the
beauty and talent it held And as she re-

the air with pride. as much as to say Il am

City Engineer Rundlett with keen and
critical eye took survey of the track and

German was promptly installed favor

Three to five was the best Obtainable
before the horses went to post. The
opening odds made Judge Hughes sec
ond choice, and one venturesome book
maker laid even money for the place,
out rush of spectators soon
swept the odds off the board.
A little money went ON Carroll Reid,
but the short horses were utterly neg
lected. The flag fell to fair start, the
9ulntette being in a bunch. Carroll
Reid pushed to the front at the quarter
and made the swing, German trailing
length away and we'll in hand and the
rest in a bunch. Britton on Judge
Hughes was we'll in the ruck and riding
with double wrap. At the three-quar-
tere Brltten let out link and sent the
Judge ahead of German and we'll up to

the horses rounded into the stretch
Hughes and Reid were neck and neck,

the stretch Britton easily Outrode his
field, and though Smith made despair
ate effort on German, he never dimin-

under the wire an easy winner by
length, German second, and Carroll
Reid third, beaten off and two lengths
away. The going made speed impos-

People can get out to the track within a
few minutes, and. as a consequence,
there are few stylish equipages, and
you never now see merry party taking
their lunch Oh the ground. On the
contrary, you will see several hundred
men clamorfng around bar, slipping a
thimbleful of Pilsener down their
thirsty thrOats and jOyfully paying 10
cents for the privilege. You may 90
into the restaurant and take seat by
one of the tables. A waiter will rec

will be thankful if it Is not longer.
Again, you indulge in a lemonade, the
lemon of which must have been In
service for several years. and again you
assess yourself ten cents. There are
not much, so you must content yourself
with the races.
One of the most interesting places is
the saddling paddock. There you will
always ind congregated a number of
jockeys, stable helpers and searchers

them have an income which would
throw even that of railroad president

pretty high even in these days of rate
wars and competition. The last touches
are given the horses in the saddling pad

The new grand stand erected by the
jockey club is great improvement on
the old ramShackle building. and an ex-
eellent view is afforded the races from
start to finish. Its accommodation was
well tested yesterday. A very singular
thing should be noted about the 0ccu-
pants of the stand. If everybody re-
tanned their seats an excellent view could
afforded of the horses, but no-as soon
as the start is made, up the people
jump, on their chairs or anything, and
thus everybody is compelled to Stand.
1t is very foolish, and can only be ac-
counted from the fact that the people
become so excited in the outcome of the
race that they cannot sit.

DERBY REFLECTIONS.

You meet all classes of people at the
Derby-rich. poor and nondeScript. The
love of horse racing is not confined to
one class. it enthuses all classes, and
thus you will find there is nothing which
brings the people more on one common
level than race course. 1t is the same
all the world over; the millionaire ell
bows the labOrerS, and shout themselves
hoarSe when the favorite passes the post
first. There is one thing, however.
about the Twin City Derby which is spe-
cially characteristic, and was particularly
so yesterday-the number of we'll
dressed people, men and women, in the
ascendant. There was a general air of
prosperity in the enclosure, and the
harvest of the ''bookies" must have
been great.
+
There is no fun in attending the
races. and especially the Derby, if you
do not take flyer" With your money
backed on one horse, your very soul
seems to go into the race. You strain
your eyes and with palpitating heart
note every change In the order of rum
ming, and when the horses enter the
straight" and your particular horse is
seen forging to the front, your enthus-
iasm knows qo bounds, and, as he he
COMES numbering past the post win
ner by neck, you rent the air with
your wild cries. Oh! 1t is great, is
horse racing. Of course you are not SO
enthusiastic when the horse you back is
beaten. There may be a cold, chill
feeling u the extgsmity OF your spi0ae

to think of rain on Derby Day.
The weather clerk, however. was
better than he seemed. Like any
other man, breakfast sweetened his
temper, and by the time the morning
was well aired, patches of rain washed
blue began to appear here and there
overhead. yelled by filmy clouds that
melted away one by one in the sun, un-
til the loveliest of racing days shone
heavy, but the st. Paul woman saw
only that there was no dust, that the
hills were emerald, the sky tathomless
turquoise, and the breeze just strong
enough to flutter ribbons and bring out
the opalescent sheen of dainty silk
| ruffies.
The st. Paul woman went to the
races. She was gloriously rained on
before she found herself safe at home

grand stand. was made up of the blue
blood of the city. Here and there on
the stand one saw women whose names
are things to conjure by III society. The
pretty stenographer was there with the
big. manly looking fellow who is going
to insist on her ceasing to be stenog-
rapher after while. Name and Cora
from behind the counter had come to
applaud Yo Tambien, and brought their
gum along. One could see chorus giri
here and there, and sometimes two
charmingly dressed beauties together,
whom all the men stare at, none of the
women bow to, and whose names
nobody seems to know. For yesterday
was Derby day, and every woman the
sun shines On could watch the races.
There was great enthusiasm among

FAVORITE AND OUTSIDER,
SulIross and Woodberry Win at
Differing Odds.

The fifth and sixth races were split,
both for three-year-olds and upwards, at
six furlongs, eight horses to each. Lon
don Smoke and Ruby Payne were
scratched in the fifth. leaving it walk
eyer for Fosters five-year-old, Sullross.
Talent and bookies agreed that he could
win and he was played all along the
line. the odds gradually receding from
8 to to even money or worse. Finally
he was rubbed off altogether. Costo
Rica was the only thing that
approached him. and he was
only moderately played. Carman
had lots of friends, and Corinne Kinney,
remembered from last year as good
one, carried considerable money, espe-
cially as Britton was astride her. When
the horses came to the post it was rain
ing viciously, and almost the entire
field was obliterated from view. When
tie horses appeared on the stretch Sull-
ross was in command, under pull, and
Corinne Kinney was making a strong
bid for second place. Sullross never
faltered and won as he pleased, Kildare

erable money went in against Fred
Fosters colt-and stayed there. No
body knew Earl, and he went begging
at Is and 90 to l.
Starter Ferguson had little trouble
with the colts and soon got them off to a
good start. At the drop of the flag El
Paso raced to the front,quickly followed
by Diamond. Matt Foster got tangled
up i'll the ruck and succeeded in staying
there nobly. In the stretch Ell Paso was
running easily, and romped home a
winner by two lengths. Earl shook
himself clear of the others, and though

Horse racing is very contagious.
Scores of people saw the Derby yester-
day who had never seen running race
before, and who entered into the racing
with Zest that indicated they would be
better frequenters in the future. 1t is
very eXhllarating to the man, who
nardiy knows the right end of horse,
to pull out $40 or $50 by lucky bet.
Luck is great thing on race track.
You Will meet people who say they have
got "a good thing" who claim to be ION
the inside" or have been admitted ION
the ground floor" You will, however,
invariably find that these people know
as much about horse racing as
mule. and sometimes less. Then,
again, there are people who
put their money on the jockey; that is,
they will back the mounts of certain
successful rider, and, in many instances,
by Judicious placing of their money,
nave come out ahead. And betting is
not confined to men. Women also
indulge to certain extent, getting tbeir
money placed with the bookmakers by
their husbands, brothers or lovers.
Some of them are very successful. Two
women on the grand stand yesterday
came out $500 ahead, and chose the
winners without any "inside'' tips from
the talent.

The race grounds of today are not so
picturesque as the public would like
them to be. Racing, like everything
else, has been reduced to science. and,
with the innovations of modern ideas,
you do not find the race inclosure so in
teresting. 1t is more like a well-regulat-
ed business establishment, and there is
lack of characters. 1t is an everyday
crowd you see, and. outside the races,
there is nothing to attract and amuse.
The restrictions and prOhibitive licenses
have robbed race courses Of much of
their attractiveness, and it is to this
that. to many people, the Derby day is
not SO "taking" as it otherwise would
be. There is need for something to
"fill in'' between the events, and what is
more Interesting than to take stroll
around the enclosures and watch the
fakirS getting in their work. But no,
we are getting too respectable now-a-
days, and the old lodges which used to
amuse persons generations ago at the
races have been ruthlesSly swept away.

The rapid transit has also robbed
Derby day of much of its pleasure.
