the grand stand: At the starting sig
nal, the horses seemed to get of we'll
together, aud appeared TO be coming
hard and fast. The issue from the grand
stand appeared TO be doubtful until the
distance pole was reached. Ladas
then seemed 70 draw out with ease, and
as though he had been playing with the
others, won in . common canter.
1t is doubtful IL so much interest has
ever before been taken in the Derby.
There we're several causes for this state
OF affairs. In the first place many
thousands Of people we're anxious 10 see
the Derby because IL is the great event
Of the turf; IN the second place, Ladas,
owned by the Prime Minister OF Great
Britain, was looked upon as being the
horse OF the year, his previous victories
having won him hosts OF friends. Over
100, 600 people, according TO estimate,
iourneyed 70 Epson to-day by road or
by rail, the attendance being above the
average in point Of numbers and re-
spsctsbility.
Ladas won in a canter by length and
a half In , minutes As As seconds. Six
lengths separated the second horse,
Mach Box, from the third, Remainder.
Hornbean was fourth.
A scene Of indsscribable enthusiasm
followed Ladas' victory.
