olds won by Carlsbad, a son of GIeneig,
in 3:O4lf, the slowest time in which 1t
has yet been run.
The race itself was a good exhibition
OF game, sturdy racing on the worst
track possible. and il was not speed but
bottom which carried the day. CarlS-
bad showed that he is great slayer
aud along with the SIT, 500, which the
purse netted him, K. A. Swigert to-
night has the knowledge that he has
horse game clear through and strong
and fast, for Carlsbad led his field Tor
the last mile, and in the stretch outran
the speedy California horse, Ialdivar,
who, handicapped by being forced into
the worst part of the track, made
great squirt to catch the leader and land
the purse.
Yesterday a soaking rain poured and
consequently the track was as heavy
and slow as water soaked black mud
could be, the horses sinking in the mid
die of the track almost TO their fetlocks.
In the stretch, close against the outer
rail, the tramping Of the crowd had
made the track fairly hard. To this fact
is largely due Carlsbad's beating Zaldi-
var, as the former jockey rounded him
into the turn close against the trail and
forcing Zaldivar into the mud, where
ne was almost anchored.
The American Derby was the third
event on the programme and for this all
present waited while the two preceding
races were Iun. The great number OF
entries had dwindled last night 10

which one other addition was made this
morning when Bob Forester's owner de-
cided TO start him. Three Withdrawals
were made this morning, however, so
that only ten horses faced the starter.
The horses scratched were Hume, Bel
fast and Faraday. Those who ran were
Chief Justice, Prince of Darkness, ARA,
Cicero, Newton, Gando Xaldivar, EN-
peror Regent Carlsbad and Bob Feres-
ter. Azra has steadily ruled the
favorite on his record and many thought
that the BaShford Manor stable would
land the purse, Notwithstanding ARA
had 127 pounds to carry. The stable
scratched Hashford. ARA had shown
himself good game horse on heavy

horses went to the post, while Azra's
odds were forced down two to one, so
that he started q clean favorite with
Cicero, a three TO one, second choice.
Cicero was walked TO the half-mile
post and escaped observation. The
others all came out in string, and
there was low swell OF noise as the
spectators commented on the lot. AT
the post the horses lined up well, but
some delay was occasioned by Ialdivar,
who was nervous at the start, and re-
fused to break away. The second good
attempt got the horses well together,

through the great crowd. Chief Just
ice got all the advantage Of the lead,
and with a length and half start, was
first for the only time in the race.
Prince of Darkness was second by a
