A Rank Outsider Walks Away with Ten.
nessee's Best Stake.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 9.-The most notable
features OF the opening day of the Memphis
Spring meeting was rain that lasted all day
| and the winning of the Tennessee Derby by
the unconsidered outsider Jamboree, against
whom the books offered odds ranging from 70
to so to 1. The winner is a gray gelding by
imported Glenelg- -Linnett, and Is owned by T..
F. Mclean.
His owner had Master Fred and CASTELAR,
entered in the race, and Master Fred was ex-
pected to carry the stable colors until the
last moment, when DR.. Mclean substituted
the Glenelg gelding. The steady torrent OF
rain that had been falling since o'clock this
morning made the track sloppy, but 1t did
not prevent about $500 people from assem-
bling to witness the events.
The first event was dump for the talent,
as Maid Marian was known to have worked
the distance Saturday in a quarter of sec
ond of the track record and was topped to
win by all the knowing ones. The win OF
Caprivi, Leigh, and Roses, Oneita-Bonita
Belle gelding, was also surprise, although
he got off in front and was never headed.
Tonton threw his jockey at the post In the
last race and ran three-eightns, but was caught
and won the race with ease. J. Gardner, the
rider, sprained his thumb In falling.
Most of the heavy betters backed vassal In
the Derby, but Rhett Good, Bedford and
Weatherford's entry Of Followday and Satellite
were strongly played for the place, while
Buckrine had a number Of admirers, who
backed him both ways.
No more than twenty tickets on Jamboree
were cashed. They got off well together,
with Buckrene first, Jamboree second, Vac
sci third, and the others well up. They
passed the stand in the same order, but at
the quarter Jamboree took the lead and kept
it, winning without trouble by half length.
Buckrene and Vassal had a hard fight for
second money, and the Corrigan colt lost by a
short head.
