The tenth American Derby is over and
gone 1t brought sorrow to the bettoIs
and joy tothe bookmakers. 1t was a re-
lnarkable race in all respects. 1t was wit

gathered upon a race track IL this coun-
Try; il was run for one of the heaviest
purses ever hung up for the best Of IA
crowd OF thoroughbreds to wiz; it lowered
The record for the American Derby, and 1t
+Eas run after one Of the most outrageous
delays ever seen al the post on the running
turf. 1t was an ideal day. There was
nothing to prevent the race from being
run directly on its merits, and the horse
that was best OF all pulled down the prize.
Bouudless won, and won honorably Sew
enty-five thousand people packed the
grand stand, swarmed ia the betting ring,
crowded the club house and tramped the
lawns. The Derby was started ninety
minutes after the bugle sounded. AT
grounds tired Of waiting. At twenty
minutes after o'clock the horses broke
to beautiful start, but Pettingill called
them back. Why nobody but Pettingill
knows. For seventy minutes he kept the
horses at the post, until some were IN no
condition to do as well as they might
otherwise have done.
Boundless, though not the favorite was,
with his stable companion, Lookout, well
backed, and his victory was by no means
unpopular. Don Alonzo, who carried a
world Of money. was never in the race at
any stage. He quit the moment the flag
fell. BoundieSs, who was well in the cen

moved up swiftly and won he pleased.
TArai, on st. Leonard. thought at the be-
ginning OF the last turn that nothing
could beat him home. and, after he found
it useless TO chase Boundless further. he
sat still, merely stallIng of Clifford's rush
in the last fur!ong,
Considerable excitement was caused by
the arrest Of Monk Overton by Ed Cor

Derby Considerable comment followed,
but the owners OF Ramapo had TO hunt an

finally selected and the betting was al
3owed to stand.

dropped, and 1t Was comparatively but Il /
