LONDON, June 1.-Derby Day orened with
light showers and sunshine aul au oc-
casionnl breeze sweeping over the EPSON
Downs. The crowd was greater than usual per-
haps owing TO the In ense and REGULAR inter-
est that has centred this year around the
Derby. A few weeks ago the odds were all in
favor OF orme. tho Duke Of Westminster's
wonderful three year-od Then came the re-
port that Ormo had been poisoned. The sport
ing public hesitated TO believe that such an
outrage had been committed. and for few
days, even in the face Of the reports, the odds
continued greatly in favor Of ormc. being as
much as b to for the Derby Tho Duke OF
Westminster said that no would run Orme at
the Derby, even II the colt had to 20 on tnr ee
legs. But, as time went on. II became evident
that Orme. II not ruined beyond ultimate re-
covcry. would at least have to be- taken out Of
the Derby for this year, and he was Withdrawn
few days ago.
La Fleche. Baron do lIrsch's brown NILS,
had been favorite with many even while
Orme was in tho field, and when Ortre was
disabled La F!cche took tie lca3irg place
with hettOrs. The booh Giakcrs. how yer, have
shown no reluctance 10 take up all the b. Is
