81. LOUIS, MO, June rs. - Twenty
thousand admirers of thoroughbred run
ners saw Ornament. the peerless son OF
imp. Order Visserene, win the great $12, 600
Derby in a walk this afternoon at the fair
grounds. A large majority of the i'm
mense crowd had pinned it's faith and its
dollars on Typhoon II, essentially St.
Louis horse, but the victory of the Ken
tucky flyer was greeted with none the less
enthusiasm because ot that fact.
Ornament and TVphoon II had met in
the Kentucky Derby, and the formers
colors were lowered, Typhoon ii winning
in drive by q neck. But the track was
not so heavy nor the distance so long on
that occasion as to-day. The victories of
both cracks since had been so impressive
that the shrewdest handicappers were
puzzled to pick the winner.
As all indication of the estimate placed
upon the relative chances of the two, the
opening betting on Ornament was even
money, while to was quoted against
Ty phoon IL Buckvidere, the only other
starter, was posted at to 1. Enough
money was bet on both Ornament and
Typhoon ii, by the time they went to the
post, to start several National banks
Final quotations were: Ornament to
10. Typhoon II IL to 10, Buckvidere IL 10 l.
The field was sent away with Buckvidere re
in the lead and Typhoon III second. At
the quarter Typhoon ii led by two lengths,
with Ornament a length before the out
slder. At the half Ornament had moved
up and Typhoon led by only length,
with Buckvidere three lengths back.
Clayton picked the best going, taking Or
nament wide on the turn at the six-fur-
long pole, and Typhoon's jockey did the
same, both running easily neck and neck.
Slaughter caught the turn short with
Buckvidere and closed on the leaders, but
at big sacrifice in the heavy going.
At the mile Ornament forged to the
front without much exertion and led by a
length. At the mile and quarter Orna-
ment still led by a length and was rum
ming easily. Typhoon was in trouble.
Slaughter again rushed Buckvidere
through the quagmire to cut the turn
short and make up some ground. Orna-
ment made the turn wide and increased
his lead to two lengths at the head OF the
stretch, while guckvidere passed the tired
Typhoon.
At the final furlong the race proved
mere exercise gallop for Ornament, the
shapelv cod winning as he pleased by
six lengths. Buck yidere beat Typhoon II
three lengths for the place. The time of
the race, 2:51, indicates the condition of
the track.
