Derby. Matchbox was second and Re-
minder third.
Ladas won in canter by length and
. half in 2:45 4-5. Six lengths sepa-
rated the second horse. Matchbox, from
the third. The distance was about a mile
and a half. The purse is 5000 sovereigns,
OF which the winner received 5000.
The betting was unprecedented in the
history of the Derby. Lord Randolph
Churchill, Henry Labourchere and Hon.
Henry Chaplin were among the warm
supporters of Ladas.
The starting prices were 9 TO 2 on La
das, 8 to ] against Matchbox and 33 to l
against Remainder. The place betting
was 100 to on Ladas, 100 to on Match
box and to 4 against Reminder.
1t is doubtful If so much interest ever
before has been taken in the Derby.
There were several causes for this state of
affairs. In the first place, many thou
sands of people were anxious to see the
Derby, because it is the great event Of the
turf; in the second place, Ladas, owned
by the Premier of Great Britain, was
looked upon as being the horse of the
year, his previous victories having won
him hosts OF friends, who longed to see
once more the primrose and rose hoops
with rose-cOloIed cap lord ROSebery'S
colors) flying to the front of everything
else in the field.
Thus it was that the special trains at
London Bridge and Victoria stations ran
every five minutes and were packed to
the utmost with the usual crowd OF race
goers, augmented by many people who
had never before ventured TO EPSON, but
who went there to-day in order to see
"ROS6DGrV win the third 6V0QL.N
The morning was dull and dreary, rain
threatening and fog predOnlnatlng. But
d snowstorm would not have kept those
crowds away from EPSON Downs to-day.
The travellers to EPSON by train, how
ever, jammed, laughed and swearing,
growing and singing, into stutfy, box
like carriages, were only one portion of
the throng bound for the Bye. By far
the noisiest, fought, jOlliest portion of the
race-going public travelled 10 EPSON by
the road in uime-hOnored fashion by the
aristocratic tour-in-hand, tandem and
dog cat, heavy drag, 1.-The fourwheeler,"
the market wagon, the van, and by any
kind of other vehicle obtainable, not for
getting the famous cOster monger's don
key cart, with its excessive load of beer
soaked humanity.
over 100000 people, according to the
estimate, journeyed to EPSON to-day by
road or rail, in some manner or another,
point of numbers and respectability. But
the pickpocket, imble-rigger, bruiser
and negro minstrel fraternitles were out
in force, mingling with the gaudily-
dressed females, pretty maidens, MEM
bers of Parliament, clerks, etc.
Among the royal and nobility present
were the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Duke OF Saxe-COburg-G Goth, Duke of
Cambridge, Duke and Duchess of Port
land, Duke of Devonshire. Duke of W est
minister, Lord ROsebery, Earl Cadogan,
Earl of Coventry, Marquis of London
derry and Lord Randolph Churchill.
The race is described as follows from
the grand stand: At the starting signal
the horses seemed to get off well together
and appeared to be coming hard and fast.
The issue, from the grand stand, appeared
to be doubtful until the distance was
reached. Ladas seemed 10 draw out
with ease, and as though he had been
playing with the others, won In a COM
mon canter by a length and half In
2:45 90, six lengths separating the second
horse, Matchbox, from the third, Re-
lninder. HOrnbeam was fourth, Clywd
fifth.
After the race Ladas was surrounded
by the multitude, half mad with en-
thusiasm. When Lord Rosebery ap-
peared on the course 10 lead Ladas back
TO the paddock, strong force of police
was sent to protect the Premier from the
crush of the crowds.
There was a tremendous Outburst of
enthusiasm as Lord Rosebery and Ladas
entered the paddock together, for the
most popular man in England is The
proud owner Of Ladas, the winner OF the
Derby.
Ladas is a direct descendant Of Whale
bone, who won the Derby for the Duke
of Grafton when he was Prime Minister
in 1910. Ladas is by Hampton, son of
Lord Clifton, by Newmanster, whose
sire was TOuchstone, by Camel, son Of
Whalebone.
The destiny which Lord Rosebery
mapped out for himself when at college
has been fulfilled. He married the rich
est girl IN England, Miss Hanna De
Rothschild, he is Prime Minister OF Eng
land, and he won the Derby with his bay
colt Ladas, the winner of 1000 guineas
on May 9th, and the winner of the New
market stakes on May 23d.
