the great American Derby Of one and a

Carlsbad. a son of Glenelg. in 3:04l.
the slowest time in which it has yet
beeh run.
And all Of them saw in the vast
rTOWd a sight greater than the greatest
Derby ever run. Last year 4l,OO0 per-
sons saw the contest for the rich purse
and stake money, but this year the
crowd was even larger, and il is esti-
mated that $4,000 people were on the
race grounds. The race itself Was

Laldiyar, who. handicapped by being
forced into the worst part of the track,
made a great squirt to catch the leader
and land the purse.
Zaldiver could not do better than get

him, while Cicero, made almost an equal

A Good Winner.
The crowd began pouring into the
gate hours before the time, 2:30 o'clock,
set for the first race. and each incoming
train and cable car brought its crowd of
good-natured pleasure seekers, while
proaches were occupied by a line Of mag
nificent tarnOutS. The women made a
fashionable event of the darby" as
ChicagOanS delight to call it, and were
gOwned in their finest.
When the first race began the picture
was q beautiful one with the long grand
stand fille< with women arrayed in
bright cOlOrS, and with faces sparkling
at the anticiDatiCns Of the day and the
crowds around them. The inner field
was well crowded with fine vehicles, and
clustered together, the bright gowns
ami wraps of the women and their
handsome parasOlS. of all the rich
shades, presented an animated picture
as of a fashionable May day fair at
which wealth and beauty were present
to see the spectacle. be seen and add to
the effect. The great variety Of this
years costumes was well illustrated IN
the crowd. Between these two pictures

together as a moving throng could be,
were swarming over the pool lawn, and

for lack of opportunity to get near
enough to place it. The American
Derby was the third event on the pro-
gramme, and for this all present waited
while the two preceding races were run.
The great number of entries had
dwindled last night to field of twelve
probable starters, to which one other ad-
ditiOn was made this morning when
Bob FOTeSter'S owner decided to start
him.
Three Withdrawals were made this
morning, however, so that only ten
horses faced the starter. The horses
scratched were Hume, Belfast and
faraday. Those who ran were Chief
Justice, Prince of Darkness, ARA,
Cicero, Newton. GalindO, Zaldivar, EN-
peror Regent, Carlsbad and Bob For
ester. This made large field for such
a bad track, and, comprising most of
the Western cracks, it was realized
that the race would be a good one.
ARA has steadily ruled the favorite on
his record as the winner of the Kentucky
Derby, and many thought that the Bash
ford Manor stable would land the purse,
notwithstanding ARA had 127 pounds to
carry. The stable scratched Bashford.
ARA has shown himself

on heavy track, and the bookmakers
opened him at to 2. The heavy track
made many think well of Ed Corrigan's
finely bred LongfelloW colt with only
lis pounds up, and he was at equal
choice in the books with ARA. Zaldl-
var and Galindo, the two California
horses. were said to be flne and took d
great deal of money at to l. Carlsbad.
