1t was remarka BILE race in all re-
spects. 1t was witnessed by the larg-
est crowd that ever gathered upon a
race track in this country, and was run
for one of the heaviest purses ever
hung up for the best OF crowd OF
thoroughbreds to win, it lowered the
record Of the American Derby, and il
was run after the most outrageous and
vexatious delays at the post ever seen
on the running turf.
1t was su ideal day and the track for
the mighty race.
At twenty minutes after four, the
horses broke to beautiful start, but
Pettingill called them back.
Why, nobody but Pettingill knows.
Then for seventy minutes he kept the
horses at the post until some OF them
were IN no condition to do as well as
they might otherwise have done. This
delay was the one mistake which
marred a mighty race on a perfect
track and perfect day.
Boundless, though not favorIte,
was, with his stable companion, Look
out, we'll backed, and his victory was
by no means unpopular. Don Alonzo,
who carried q world Of money, was
never In the race at any stage, He quit
the moment the flag fell, and never got
TO the front all.
Boundless, who was well in the CEN
ter of the bunch ran easily to the three
quarter pole on the last mile when he
moved up swiftly and won as he pleased.
Taral, on ST. Leonards, thought at
the beginning of the last turn that
NOTHING COULD BEAT HIM
home, and after he found 1t useless to
chase Boundless further he sat still,
merely stalling of Clifford's rush in the
last furlong.
Garrison, who rode the winner, was,
barring j. E. Cushing, the owner, the
most delighted man present.

ed Nightly ID the saddle at the betting
sheds and saw that neither st. Leonards,
Clifford nor any other horse upon the
track could get near enough to catch
the dust from the flying heels OF Bound
less. The amount Of money that
changed hands at the track upon the
race Was fully $s00,e00.
1t was the heaviest betting day Chi
cago has ever known, and the book
makers kept 1t nearly all.
The start was not good one. st.
Croix and Choister had a slight advan-
tsge In the bunch which was out in
front, but Don Alonzo's nose was near
by and Ingomar was at his girth. A
lenght away and half lengths apart
came Plutus, Alderbaron, Clifford,
Lookout and G. w. Johnson, while the
rear was fetched up by Rampo, Bound
less, St. Leonard, Oporto, Tyro and
Strathouse.
AT the three-quarter pole, Plutus had
his head in front, with Aldebaron NOV
ing easily by his side, followed length
away by st. Croix and Ingomar. Then
came G. w. Johnson, Lookout and
Clifford. As the horses rushed toward
the stand, Lookout moved out OF the
bunch and was neck in front at
the wire, this being doubtless a
part of the instructions from owner
Cushing. Aldebaron, who was still
showing surprising strength, was sec
ond, length and a half In front OF
Plutus, behind whom came st. CroiX,
G.. w. Johnson, Clifford, Ingomar and
Boundless.
In the running from the grand stand
to the quarter pole chestnut colt with
a jockey in white astride him could be
SEEN MOVING FORWARD
in the bunch almost as steadily as the
field itself was progressing.
There were frantic shouts from thou
sands of throats whose possessors held
tickets on the Keene stable for the
chestnut colt was st. Leonard. Taral,
the jockey in white, was grasping the
bride almost down to the bit, but be
did not seem TO be urging
the son of St. Blaize in the least,
for the latter was moving along with
the utmost ease and was gaining so rap
idly that by the time the quarter pole
was reached ST. Leonard was third,
and only three parts of length FROM
Lookout and Adlebaron.
This great gain was observed by q
large portion OF the great crowd and
there was the widest cheering, amid
which could be heard confused shouts
of "St. Leonard" and "Choristsr, some
being confused as to which OF the
Keene colts it was that had made the
advance.
But the crowd failed to notice q
splendid brown colt that was moving
along at two lengths distance from st.
Leonards, gaining when he gained and
running with an ease that would have
caused great Jumps TO have come up In
the throats of the holders OF keeDe
tickets had they carefully noted II.
On.this brown colt there was crouched
3 Jockey who never had an superior In
the saddle and he was watching, cat.
like, every movement of St. Leonard.
II was Garrison on Boundless. The
splendid SON OF Harry O'FaHon seemed
to be moving undera steady pull. be
too had made up much ground from le
wire and at the quarter pole was sew
enth, Ingomsr, Chorister and G. w
johnson being between him and ST.
Leonards.
Going along TO the half the alert Gar
rison was hindered considerably by In
gOmsr and chorister, and kept his
aunt back
TO AVOID BEING PocKETED.
the meantime, LOOKOUT dropped out
the contest and Aldebaron was lead
5ng at the completion Of the
Ehrst mile. St Leonard, under
