GARRlSON'S BAD MISTAKl

SHlCAGO, June 2or-1o-day, Tor the
fourth time since tho American Derby
was inaugurated. the black jacket, red
Maltese cross, red sash and cap of Lucky
Baldwin were first under the wire. His
bay colt, Rey el Santa Anita, at 40 to in
the betting, won the race easily by six
lengths in 2:36 fiat, equalling the best
time ever made in the race.
Senator Grady finished second and
Domino, the favorite in the betting, alb
solutely last.
The track and weather were perfect for
the race. During the early part of the
afternoon gentle breeze blew from the
south, but when the Derby horses were
called to the post there was enough air
moving TO carry away cigar smoke. Be-
| tween 2:30 and $3.50 o'clock several smart
dashes of rain came down, but they in no
way affected the track or had any result
on The race save to make few betters
rush 10 put money on Rey ell Santa
Anita. who is a mud horse. Had there
been no promise of mud their lets would
never have gone on, as very few believed
that Rey el Santa Anita had any chance
on good track against such cracks as
Senator Grady, Domino and Dorian.

3:i5 o'clock and tho bugle calling the
horses 10 tue post sounded five minutes
later. Alconor was tie first to appear on
the track and was followed by Resplend-
ent, both horses being cheered as they
moved past the grand stand. Despot,
carrying the green and white colors of
Edward Corrigan. was third. and Prince
Carl, Orinda and Rey ell Santa Anita left
the paddocks in q bunch. The horses
paraded past the grand stand in The order
| named, Domino. Dorian and Senator
Grady coming down the stretch fr ON the
stables and swinging into the parade from
the rear. The three eastern horses were
| cheered to the echo, the vast majority Of
the public being on one of the three 10
win. The horses cantered slowly to the
starting post.
After few attempts the flag fell to
| good start, with all the horses being well
hunched. Domino was away first, with
| Despot at his neck. Rey el Santa Anita
was third, the others in bunch with the
| exception of Senator Grady, who was of
last and in a bad position.
Alconor went out to make tho running
and at the quarter was leading by n
length, Domino second. half length in
front OF Prince Carl. Resplcndent was
fourth. Orinda fifth, Rey el Santa Anita
sixth, Dorian seventh, Atlas eighth, Des.
pot ninth and Senator Grady last.
As the horses turned TO como toward
the grand stand they were all punched
close up against the rail, Domino, Dorian
and Grady being pocketed without an
earthly chance to get through. As they

| Alconor and was leading by o length,
Pri nee Carl being third by head.
Garrison hero got out of the pocket in
which he had been held and, pulling
Grady to the outside, sent him to fourth
place. The Senator was running easily
under strong pull aud seemed to have
any amount of speed in reserve. Domino
was running leisurely in fifth place,
Dorian was eighth, and Van Kuron had
taken strong wrap on Rey el Santa
| Anita and was last by a length.
just before the three-quarters was
reached Garrison made play which, in
the opinion OF many, lost him the race.
| He saw a chance to get the lead and. loos-
ening up on Senator Grady. he sent the
| brown son of Iroquois TO the front like q
fash. He passed everything in front of
him as though they we're stand
ing still, and then, pulling over
next to tho rail, he kept tho Senator
| going as though he were making a rum
away race of it. Taral, on Domino. and
Van Kuron on Rcy cl Santa Anita,
evidently held this opinion, for
they at once cut loose and went after the
Senator al a smashing pace.
At the milo Grady was length and
half to the lead and going like scared
dog. Rey ell Santa Anita had come up with
! a rush from seventh place at the three
| quarters and was second, head in front
of Alconor. Domino was fourth, half a
length in front of Resplendent, Prince
Carl. Dorian, Despot and Orinda in the
order named. the latter tirIng fast.
| After leaving the mile post, Van Kuron
gave Rey el Santa Anita his head and the
|, colt began rapidly to close on Senator
| Grady. lie was at his flank, then at his
head, and then began TO draw away in a
manner that left no doubt whatever that
unless some horse in the bunch could run
past Senator Grady and catch the leader,
| the Derby was over then and there. At
the mile aud n quarter, he was three
lengths ahead OF Senator Grady and rum
ming strongly. Prince Carl came up to
third place and was half length in front
| OF Domino. on whom Taral was now max
ing every effort.
As they turned into the stretch, Roy ell
Santa Anita kept his pace and opened up
daylight between himself and Senator
Grady. He was full four lengths in the
lead and drawing away at every jump.
Taral called on Domino for q final
effort aud the colt responded gamoly. but
his time had come and the horse which
had never been beaten could do little to-
ward improving his position. Despo.
came up with a rush and passed Domino.
Dorian closed on him and gained with
every stride. II was all up with Domino
and Taral. realizing that fact, pulled him
UP and gallopped slowly in.
As the horses nearcd the wire Rey el
Santa Anita opened uP SIX lengths and
had speed 10 spare. Grady was coming
hard two lengths ahead of Despot. who
had come very fast through the stretch.
