dour, at Churchill Downs this afternoon.
A finer day never smiled upon derby day,
which to Kentucky is the greatest festival
on the calendar. The attendance was one
OF the largest in the history of the jockey
club and almost rivaled the crowd in at
tendance at the famous Tenbroeck- Mollie
Mccarthy race of years ago. Long before
noon the big course was black with peo-
pie. The men who went broke in the
pool rooms had a chance to see the derby
for the Louisville track opens the
gates to the public on derby day. There
were 10000 people in the free fisld today.
They were on foot, in buggies, carts,
wagons, carriages and street care, and
chased rabbits and played ball between
the races. The grand stand and club
house we're bouquets Of crinOlines and big
hats. for the bellies of Kentucky were
there. The republican brethren were out
in force, and il they played all of the
favorites the democrats will have to help
them out OF town. Six fne-loOking three
year-olds faced Starter Pettingill to
run for the derby prize of 1898.
They were Lookout and Bound
less of Gushing d Orth's stable,
Scroggan Brothers fleet Buck Mccain. C..
Elmer Railey's Linger, Plutus of the Bash

After break away and some delay at
the post Pettingill dropped the flag with
Lookout in the lead, Linger second. Buck
Mccain third. Plutus fourth, Boundless
fifth and Mirage last. Lookout at once
went into the lead by three lengths and
maintained his advantage clear to the end
under a pull, winning as he pleased
with lots OF spare. Plutus, Buck
McCann and Mirage ran in q bunch
nearly all the way, but Plutus
left them in the stretch and got second
place in a whipping finish, one length in
front of Bound ess. who was nearly two
lengths in front of Buck McCann. Linger
was beaten at the end of the first mile,
coming in five lengths behind Mirage.

the first race Cedar Brook, at 8 to l.,
captured the second event; White Nose,
at 10 to /. captured the fourth race after
four heats, and Peytonia. q 10-to-1 shot,
