Of the year and was the favorite. Over
LOO, 900 people journeyed ito EPSON to
see THE race. Betting was unprecedented
in the history of racing, Lord Kan

Matchbox and ITO against Reminder.
After THE race Ladas was surround
ed by a multitude, half mad WITH en-
thusiasm. When Lord Rosebery ap-
on the course to lead Ladas
back to the paddock, a strong force OF
police was sent to protect tine premier
from the crush of the crowds. I'nere
was a tremendous 5oueourst OF enchusi-
asm as Lord Rosebery and Ladas en-
tered the paddock together. For today
at least. the most popular man IN Eng
land is the proud owner of Ladas, the
winner of the Derby.
1t is doubtful if so much interest mas
ever before been taken in the DERBY
There were several causes Tor tnls

many thousands of people were anX-
ious to see the Derby because II Is
the greatest event of the turf; in the
second place, Ladas, owned by the
prime minister of Great Britain, was
looked upon as being the horse OF the
wear, his previous victories having won
him hosts of friends who longed to see
once more the primrose and rose hoops
with rose-colored cap Nord Rosebery

thing else in the field.
Thus it was that the special trains
at London bridge and Victoria stations,
run every five minutes, were packed TO
the utmost with the usual crowd OF
race-goers, augmented by many people
who had never before ventured to Ep-
SON. but who went there today IN order
to see ''Rosebery win the third event :

rain threatening and fog predominant

kept those crowds away from EPSON
downs today The travellers to EPSON
by train, however, damned, laughing
into the stuffy box-like carriages, were
only one portion Of the throng bound
to the Derby. By far the noisieSt,

road in a time-honored fashion by the
aristocratic four-in-hand, tandem and
dog carts, heavy dray, the four wheel

any kind of vehicle mentionable, not
forgetting the famous costermonger' 8
donkey cart, with the excessive load of
beer-soaked humanity. Over ,O0O

in some manner or other. the attend

of numbers and responsibility, but the
