/ ST. LOUIS. June 20.-Prince Lief,
| Byron McClelland's chestnut colt, won
! the National Derby to-day in record
| breaking time from a field of the best
| three-year- r-olds on the turf The wealth
| er was ideal, the track never faster and
| the attendance $4,000. Nineteen book
makers had more than they could do
and turned money away. The big event
was worth $4,000, and was fourth on
| the card. In the handicap race, pre-
| ceding the Derby, Flying Dutchman
| had lowered the track record for a mile
and a sixteenth by half a second show
| ing that the track was fine and a lot
| of money was wagered that the Derby
| winner would have to shade Miss
| Woodfords time in 1856 for the dis
tance, being 2:35.

| At the mile and a quarter Prince Lief
was only a head in front of Ben Brush,
with both jockeys riding like mad.
