CHICAGO. Juno N.-Ths tenth American
dorby is over. and like the majority Of
great races this year il brought woe to tho
batting public and JOY to tho bookmakers.
Tho largest crowd over gathered on q 1ace
track in this country saw Boundless win in
a csnter. The race WAS run for one Of the
heaviest purses ever hung up and the roe
ord of the Anne loan derby was lowered.
The horses started after tho most out
rAReous and vexatious delay at the post
| ever seen on = running turf. Il was an
ideal day and the track was In perfect CON
dition. There was nothing to prevent tho
race being run strictly on its merits and the
best horse carrying of the plize. Whether
BoundlSss could win over suoh fold again
when prompt start was mado IL another
matter, but hs won to-day, and won hon
| sstly. Tho grand stand. betting ring, club
house and lawns swArmed with 75.0OO
people. CarriaQes four-in-hands and
other cUnveysnoss by hundreds were
packed inside the track. Bsfo.s the
race started. however. several Thousand lefs
the grounds tired of waiting. Tho worst Of
! 1t was there was NO excuse for tho delay at
the post, as at ago the horses broke to q
beautiful start. but they were called back
and kept at the post seventy minutes, Till
some Of them were In no condition to do a.
we'll as they might otherwise have done.
Boundlsss. though not the fav0rite. was
with his stable companion, Lookout. we'll
backed and the victory was by no means
unpopular. Don Alonzo. who carried 4
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 $SO0.0OO. It was the heaviest
betting day Chicago has ever known and
tho bookmakers kept most OF the money.

races preceding the derby. Some Of the
candidates for the great race went past the
grand stand al ths CLOSE of the second race.

Corrigan. who claimed the colored boy was
under contract to ride for him in the derby.
The arrest created considerable comment
and another Jockey was secured for

The paddock bell rang at 4:05 and few
minutes later the buRle called the horses
out for dress parade. lngomar appeared
istsr and st. Leonard followed and then
oamo Clifford Don Alonzo and Boundlsss
fighting for the lead and Lookout. All
were eheered uproarously and the others
followed in rapid succession. BY APO the
field was at the ost and succession of

start WAS not good one. ST. C1oix and
Chorister had slight advantage. but Don
Alonzo's nose was Near by. and InRomar at
his airth length awsy. HnIf a length

Leonard. Oporto, Tyre and strathrose. At
least ten lengths separated the leader from
the last horse. but the crowd was we'll
pleased.
Young Ray on Plutus. and Miller on
Aldebaran drew their whips At once and
sent their mounts to the front. In the
meantime the baoksrs of Don Alonxo were
terrified to see him disappearing in the
rear. Lambley was plainly al wo-k. A.
the three-qunrters pole Plutus had his head
in font, with Aldeba.an moving easily by
Croix and Ineomar. Then came johnson,
Lookout and Clifford. Tho others followed
as before. Az the horses rushed down to-
wards the stand Lookout moved out Of the
bunch and took first plaos. Aldsbaran was
second. . lenath ahead of Plutus. Behind
him onme St. Croix, Johnson. Clifford,
Ingomar and Boundless.
In the run from the grand stand to the
quarter pole st. Leonards pulled up TO third
place, three-quarters of II length from Look
out and Aldebaran. amid frantic cheers
from the hackers of Taral's mount. But
the crowd failed TO notice that Boundless
followed st. Leonards in the advance al
two lengths distance. Ingomar. Chotl lister
and Johnson separated Boundless from st.
Leonardo. Going along to the half Bound
less was hindered considerably and Carl
son kept his mount back to avoid being
pooketed. In the meantime Lookout dropped
out and Aldebaran was leading at tho end
OF the ii st mile. St. Lsonards at his girth.

and Cliffo were next.
Suddenly Garrison saw an opening and
shot Boundless forward. Martin drew his
whip and sent Clifford after him and the
great struggle was on In earnest. 1arAl

There WAS nothing stinoy in the applause

course stood up and shouted for Ave MIN

smiled almost audibly at tho realization
that the rich prize was TO stay in tho west.
Jim Gushing. the owner of Boundlsss.

animals neck. Ho was invited into tho
Judges stand aud given shs $b0. 600 check

picture Of uncomfortable joy, and ths
