est Derby In Hamline's History
Derby day is only three days off. Next
Wednesday the people Of the Twin
Cities will lock up their offices and close
their desks and wend their way to Ham
line. Ii will be the fifth time they have
been attracted to the race track at the
fair grounds to witness the opening of
running race meeting. AS the day rolls
round each year its anticipation causes
pleasure to at least a. few Thousand OF
the citizens Of the two towns. This
years event is preceded by the same
general feeling Of expectation, and the
knowledge that Wednesday next will be
inaugurated race meeting to continue
for thirty days Is more than gratifying to

good running race. But Derby day
itself always stands out as the greatest
attraction of the entire meeting, for it
is pre-eminently everybody's day. The
rich and poor are alike at home on that
occasion. and there is nothing in con-
nection with that or any other days
races that is regarded as barrier to
the attendance of any one. It is espe-
cially day to be. taken advantage of
by ladies. for it gives them chance to
appear at their best, set in the prettiest
possible surroundings, with a back
ground of pleasure and excitement that
can only be found at such a place and
on such an occasion.
A little history of past Derbies may
be of Interest at this time. The first one
was run in 1889. 1t was regarded as
success, as it drew out an immense
crowd, while the raceitself was-a fairly
good one. 1t was won by w. Mulkey's
horse, LIE Premier.
The Derby of 1890 was probably the
best one that has been run up to the re-
cent time. There we've a lot OF good
horses in the race, horses that won
money and fame for their owners in the
succeeding years. Prince Fenso was
the winner of the race. aud the value of
the purse was 1920.
In 1891 Donatello took down the prize.
1t was pretty good race, although the
favorite. when he was given a chance,
left his field and passed the winning
post as he pleased, in 1884. Dare
Devil Fitzpatrick piloted his horse to
victory. Ed C0rrigan had Dundee and
Ethel in the race, and it was thought
that the green and white sash had
good chance for first money. The mas
ter OF Hawthorne had to be content,
however, with second and third.
70 Tambien made her first appear
ance at the Twin City track in the
Derby of '92. She was the favorite and
won easily. This peerless mare will be
seen again this year. and is now in as
fine form as she was before she won the
first money for the Kendall stables. She
has won her owner rich two or three
times.
Summarized the record is as follows
Year. Winner. Owner. Jockey.
1859 LIE Premier W. Mulkey Eilke
Time, 2:lo; Worth to winner. s8240.
1890 Prince Fonso j. c. Titmans Hathaway
Time. 2:c9N. Worth 81, 26O.
1891 Donateilo Ireland Bros. Fitzpatrick
Time, 2:@9A. Worth 81. $50.
1892 70 Tambien Kendall Stable Thorpe
Time, 2:l7. Worth $3.50.
1t looks now as if next Wednesdays
Derby would be better than those of
former years. There will be much
larger field than at other times. ana that
always lends interest to race, unless
some one of the horses ontclasses the
balance OF them. This does not seem to
be the case, OF did not until the Ameri-
can Derby was run yesterday afternoon.
That puts somewhat different aspect
on things. Rey Ell Sanata Anita, which
was expected to start in the Twin City
Derby, caused the surprise of the sea-
son by winning the rich event. Whether
or not he will now be brought to Ham,
line to contest for the prize there is UNI
certain. possibly doubtful. Ii he should
come it would seem as if he would come
pretty near having lead pipe cinch. II
he does not come. the field will be mada
about the same as it locked two days
is assured. But whether he starts in
the Derby or not, he will be seen here
in some Of the other races, and will be
but one more Of the many attractive
cards.

probable starters of the Derby: "A
