CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 23.-The Derby
was what drew $4,000 people to Latonia's
opening meeting to-day. The day was fine
and the track fast. The Derby, a mile and
half race, was worth $5720 to the winner,
had eight entries on the card but Curator.
Prather and Fandango were scratched,
leaving five contestants. Halma, with
Thorpe up, sold to 4; Basso and Blasco,
with Martin and Van Buren up, went at 4
to 1; Free Advice, with A. Clayton up, was
II to 1 to win and even to show, and Sat-
suma brought 10 to to win and 2 to 1 for
place.
The race as a spectacle was common
place. A good sendoff on the first trial
showed Blasco leading by a length and a
halt, with Basso, Halma, Satsuma and
Free Advice following, with no room for
daylight between them. After passing the
grand stand Halma very quietly walked to
the front and as quietly held it to the
end. Blasco quieted at the end of
the first mile, and the only contest
remaining was between Free Advice and
Satsuma for the place and show. At the
end of the first mile Basso was second,
Free Advice third and Satsuma fourth. In
the finish the struggle for place was mag
nificent. 1t was foregone that Halma
would win by three lengths and the place
lay between Free Advice and Basso. In
the last fifty feet Free Advice passed from
third to second and took the place from
Basso by a head. leaving Satsuma four
lengths behind and Blasco numbering far
in the rear. The half mile was made in
:50%, the mile in 1:421l, the mile and
half in 2:54H, which breaks the Latonia
record. The swiftest quarter was the Sec
ond, which was run in :2434. The first
quarter and the last quarter were each run
in 1874.
