brown colt, Galtee More, by Kendall, on;
OF Morganette.
The expectation that the crowd which
would be present at the Jubilee Derby,
as the race for the derby stakes this
year has been termed. would eclipse all
records in point of numbers. was not
realized today. The weather was I'M
favorable, and GalIee More's victory

200 10 third. The course Is about mile

half way down the hill, when Oakdene
drew to the front, followed by Gaitee
More. After crossing the road the ia
vorite assumed the lead and won in
canter by two lengths. Eight lengths
separated the second and third horses.
The Prince of Wales entry, Oakdene,
was fourth. Ii was anticipated that Vel
asquez would get second place. The
rest OF the starters were far below the
usual derby form. The time was 2:44.
Mr. Keen's ST. Cloud ii, ridden by
Bradford, started with the betting 100 TO
/ against him. A striking feature or
the day was the large number or irish
people who came over to see GaI'ee

In spite of all the drawbacks the
scene on the Downs before the racing
began was the same as usual upon der
by day, presenting the many race-goins
features which have become familiar TO
almost everybody by reason of their an
nual repetition and. consequently yearly
description on the same lines. The royal
standard was hoisted a. 1890 p. m, an
bouncing the arrival OF the Prince OF
Wales and his party in the royal en-
closure, and twas soop thronged Win

land. the Marquis and Marchioness OF
Londonderry, Earl and Countess Cado-
gan and a number of Indian and colo
NAL officers.
Before the race the paddock was far
less crowded than usual. The gaiiy col
ored turbans of the Indian visitors gave
brilliance to an otherwise somewhat de-
pressing scene. During the race there
was little excitement, but when the
horses returned 10 weigh in and Mr.. Glib
