ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 26.-Kentucky
beat Missouri-Ornament outran Ty-
phoon II. at the fair grounds today
in the st. Louis Derby, a $4,000
sweepstakes for three-year-olds, and
several thousand ST. Louisians walked
home. The much-played Typhoon II.
was beaten, not only by Ornament,
Of Kentucky, but also by Buck vi
dere, y to 1 shot, who came near
getting into first place. Aside from
the reasserting Of Ornament superb
GRITTY, the race was a disappointment.
Ornaments price, 10 to 20, and out.
prevented any heavy play on him by
the visitors, while Typhoon, at II to
lO. was hardly more attractive. A
very large sum Of money was made
on the race, but it was not done by
Ornament. 1t was made by a select
coterie which had apparently very ex-
cellent reasons for knowing that Buck
Vldere would run second, and the
component parts Of the coterie found
to L for place about as good a thing
as they wanted IA 49,. .-......-
The day opened with a clear sky.
cool wind and a track like an I'M
baked brick. Three races passed
through that slough, Of clay before
the Derby was called, and the churn-
ing did not help. it any. The onlv
good going on the, TRACK was around
the outside edge, but apparently the
only man who recognized the fact and
used his knowledge was Patterson,
the owner Of Ornament Mr.. Patter
son took cane and unostentatiousJv
sat down near the mile post while
the three starters paraded before the
grandstand. Buck Videre, ridden nv
slaughter, came FIRST Typhoon, rid
uen py Garner, next, and Ornament
with Clayton in the saddle, last. The
crowded grandstand gave them the
usual encouraging howl, and thew
went to the post
starter Kit Chinn sent them awav
to flying start, with Buck Videre a
nose in front. Force Of habit sent
every jockey over to the rail at the
turn right in the heaviest going of
the track. Owner Patterson. at the
mile post, smiled sweetly and sat still
AS they came around Typhoon was
IN the lead, with Ornament at his
ear. Buck Videre was close IN. and
each singing mud like a politician
AS the three neared the stretch. Pat
tenson, the owner: of Ornament. rose
and signal!ed with his cane. In ar,
instant Clayton, on Ornament; went n t
clear across to the dry ground, and
before the other Jockeys could gasp
the race was practically won. Clay
tons maneuver freshened up the son
OF Order so he made five lengths and
he kept it to the close.
The mile post was the finish for Ty-
phoon apparently, for he wanted to
stcp-and for all practical purposes
did stop there. He was beaten So
hard and so badly that the torn up
Typhoon tickets looked like a snow
storm. Twenty thousand people wit
messed the race. Ornament was
shipped to Cincinnati tonight to run
in the Oakley Derby. Summaries:
