twenty-third Kentucky Derby has passed
into history and along with II the winter
and spring calculation OF the talent. Or
nament. the much-touted son OF imp.
order, that game chestnut colt. whose
two-year-old performances stamped
him, and rightly so, the king OF the WIN
ter turf, lowered his colors this after
noon before a gamer and better animal
without being touched and with only
little shaking up near the wire, Tippon
III. landed the coveted prize. Showing
the way the entire distance OF one mile
and a quarter, the chestnut colt was
never in distress at any part OF the Jour
ney. The finish was not the SENSATIONAL
kind that stirs the spectators, ana fur-
nishes excitement to those who have wag-
ers OH the outcome. for I1ppon victory,
well and gamey contended. was won
with an ease that clearly proved his SUI
periority over the five other colts con-
testing for the honor.
