DETROIT, MICH, Aug. 10-The twenty
three days running meeting OF the De-
troit Jockey Club opened to-day with a
fast track, under threatening skies and
with a strong wind that materially affect
ed speed. The attendance was about
3000 The main event of the day. the
Derby, worth $8065, was won handily by
Charles I. Patterson's Ornament, brought
pulling down this rich stake.
When the horses were called for the
Derby Michigan had withdrawn his
Boanerges, leaving Moncreith to- run for
the stable. For long time the bookies
refused to quote any odds against Orna-
ment, so certain seemed his chances, but
at last they made him l to chance.
The horses were long at the post, owing
to Ornaments and Meadowthorpe's bad
work. and when the flag dropped it was
on a bad br eak, with Moncreith and Dare
II two lengths in front of the favorite and
Meadowthorpe three lengths behind him.
Before the quarter had been reached
Ornaments nose was in front, and after
that White had no difficulty in keeping
him there by from one to four lengths,
although Meadowthorpe at the mile came
ii.
into the stretch, seemed very strong and
cut down the distance materially. By
shaking the chestnut up just in front of
the stand White was able to gain
length easily, and was four and a half
lengths in front of Meadowthorpe at the
wire.
