Senator Grady finished second, and
Domino. favorite in the betting. was
absolutely last. The track and weather
were perfect for the race. Neither could
have been improved upon. During the
early part of the afternoon gentle
breeze blew from the south, pot enough
to interfere in the slightest degree with
the running. but when the Derby horses
were called to the post there was not
enough air moving to carry away
smoke. The sun was hidden by heavy
warm and sultrY. 1t was warm enough
to enable horse to do his best, and yet
there was no sun.
Before the first race was called dark
clouds began plling up in the west.
and heavy peals of .thunder betokened
all approaching storm. Between $3.50
and $3.50 o'clock several smart dashes
of rain came down, but they were short
lived and in no way affected the track
or had any result on the race. save to

on Rey Ell Santa Anita, who is mud
horse. Had there been no promises of
mud these bets would never have gone
on. as there we. were very few who
believed that Rey Ell Santa Anita had
any chance Oh good track against such
cracks as Senator Grady, Domino and
Dorian.
The saddling bell for the Derby rang
at 3:45. and the bugle calling the horses
to the post sounded five minutes later.
AlcenOr was the first to appear ON the
track and was followed by Resplendent,
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 paddock in
a bunch. The horses paraded past the
grand stand in the order named, DOM
ino. Dorian and Senator Grady coming
down the stretch from 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 Oh one of the three to win
The horses cantered slowly to the
starting post, where Starter PettingHl
was awaiting them with grim recoltec
ton of the trouble caused him last year
by Taral and Garrison, who were
mainly responsible for delay of nearly
two hours at the post. He warned them
and the other Jockeys that there must
be no trif1ing. and after few attempts
the flag fell to good start, all the
horses being q;
WELL PUNCHED. rps
Domino WAS away first, with Despot
at his neck. Rey Ell Santa Anita third,
the. others in a lump. with the excep
ton of Senator Grady, who was off last
and in bad position. Alcenor went
out to make the running and at the
quarter was leading by length,
Domino second, half length in front
of Prince Carl, Respondent fourth,
Orinda fifth, Rey Ell Santa Anita sixth,
Dorian seventh and Despot eighth, and
Grady last. AS the horses turned to
come toward the grand stand they

being pocketed without an earthly
chance of getting through. AS they
flew past the stand Respondent
collared Alcenor and led by length,
Prince Carl being third by head. Gar
risen here got out of the pocket in which
he had been held and, pulling Grady to
the outside, sent him up to fourth place
The Senator was running easily, under
a strong pull, and seemed to have any
amount of speed In reserve. Domino
was running leisurely in fifth place.
Dorian was eighth, and Van Kuren had
taken strong wrap on Rel Ell Santa
Anita and was pounding along 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 chance to get the
lead. and, loosening up on Senator
Grady. he sent the brown son of Iro-
quols 10 the front
LIKE A FLASH.
He passed everything in front of him
as though they were standing still, and
then pulling over next to the rail he
kept the Senator. going as though he
meant to make a runaway race of it.
Taral on Domino and Van Kuren on
Rey Ell Santa Anita evidently had this
opinion, for they at once cut loose and
went after the Senator at a smashing
pace. At the mile, Grady was length
and half to the good. and going like a
scared dog. Rey Ell Santa Anita had
come up with rush from seventh posi-
ton at the three-quarters. and was sec
Ond, head in front of Alcenor, who
was hanging on gamely. Domino was
fourth, half length in front of Re-
splendent. Prince Carl. Dorian. Despot
and Orinda in the order named, the
latter firing fast.
After leaving the mile post, Van Ku-
rem gave Rey Ell Santa Anita his head.
and the colt began rapidly to close on
Senator Grady. He was at his flank,
then at his head, and then began to
draw away in 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
and quarter he was three lengths
ahead of Senator Grady. and running
strongly. Prince Carl came up to third
place, and was length in front of
Domino. ON whom Taral was now max
ing every effort. Because of the great
similarity in the colors worn by Van
Kuren and Bergen on Dorian, the crowd
thought the latter had the race at his,
mercy. and a
