joy to the bookmakers. The largest
crowd ever gathered on race track saw
Boundless win in canter. The race run
was for one of the heaviest purses ever
hung up, and the record of the American
derby lowered. The horses were started
after the most outrageous and vexatious
delay at the post ever seen on the running
turf.
1t was an ideal day and the track in
perfect condition: There was nothing to
prevent the race being run strictly on its
merits, aud the best horse carried off the
prize. Whether Boundless could win
over such a field again when a prompt
start was made is another matter, but he
won today and won honestly.
The grand stand, betting ring, club
house and lawns swarmed with 10000
people. Carriages, four-in-hands and
other conVeyances by the hundreds were
packed inside the track. Before the race
started, however, several thousand left
the ground tired OF waiting. The worst
OF 1T was that there was no excuse for the
delay at the post. At 4:20 the horses
broke to a beautiful start, but they were
called back and kept at the post seventy
minutes, till some of them were in no
condition to do as we'll as they might
have otherwise done.
Boundless, though not the favorite,
was, with his stable companion Lookout,
well backed, and his victory is by no
means unpopular. Don AlonZo, who
carried mint of money, was never in the
race at any stage. The amount of money
that changed hands at the track upon the
race was fully 100000. 1t was the heav-
lest betting day Chicago has ever known
and the bookmakers kept the most OF the
Wagers.
Little interest centered in the races pre-
ceding the derby. Some of the candi-
dates for the great race went past the
grand stand at the close OF the second
race, but attracted little attention as they
were not generally recognized.
A short time before the derby was to
start, "Monk' Overton was arrested at
the instance OF Ed Corrigan, who claimed
that the colored boy was under contract
to ride for him in the derby. The arrest
created considerable comment, and an
other jockey was secured for Ramapo.
The paddock bell rang at 4:05 and few
minutes later the bugle called the horses
out for dress parade. Ingomar appeared
first and received a joyous welcome, Choir
lister and st. Leonard followed, and then
came Clifford, Don AlonZo, Boundless
| fighting for the lead, and Lookout. All
were cheered uproariously and others fol-
lowed in rapid succession.
By 4:20 the field was at the post and a
succession of false starts was made and it
was nearly 6 O'Clock when the flag
dropped. Even then the start was not a
good one.
St. Croix andIChorister had slight ad-
vantage but Don Alonzo's nose was near
by and Ingomar was at his girJh. A
length away and half length apart came
Plutus, Aldabaran, Clifford, Lookout and
G w johnson, while the rear was fetched
lup by Ramapo, Boundless, St. Leonard
Oporto, Tyro and Strathrose. At least
ten lengths separated the leader from the
last horse but the crowd was well pleased.
Young Ray on Plutus and Miller on
| Aldebaran drew whips at once and sent
their mounts to the front. In the mean
time the hackers of Don Alonzo were hor-
rifed to see him disappearing in the rear,
Ialthough Lamley was plainly at work.
| At the three-Quarter pole PlutuS had his
head in front with Aldebaran moving
easily by his side, followed a length away
by st. Croix and Ingomar. Then came
johnson, Lookout and Clifford, the 9TH
ers following as before.
As the horses rushed down towards the
stand Lookout moved out of the bunch
land took first place, Aldebaran second, q
length and half ahead of Piutus. Be-
hind him came st. Croix, Johnson, Cliff
ford, Ingomar and BoundIess. In the
run from the grand stand to the quarter
pole, st. Leonard pulled up to third
place, three-quarter length from Lookout
and Aldebaran, amid frantic cheers from
the hackers of Taral's mount. But the
crowd failed to notice that BoundleSS
followed by st. Leonard, was in advance
and at two lengths distance. Ingomar
Chorister and Johnson separated Bound
less from st. Leonard.
Going along to the half Boundless was
hindered considerably and Garrison kept
his mount back to avoid being pocketed.
In the meantime Lookout dropped out
and Aldebaran was leading. At the enc
of the first mile st. Leonard was at his
girth, with Ingomar length away anC
Chorister and Clifford next. But sud.
J denly Garrison saw an opening and sho
Boundless forward. Martin drew hi
whip and sent Clifford after him and the
great struggle was on in earnest. Tara

mad cries from the grand stand, and a
the sixteenth from home Boundless passed
st. Leonard and Clifford as though the,
were standing still. The crowd wa
breathless with surprise for brief mo
ment and then the cheers for BoundleS
broke into pandernonium.

There was nothing stingy il
the applause which greeted Bound

and shouted for five minutes. Ever
