EPSON England, June 2.-The ex-
pectation 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 records in points
of numbers was not realized. The wealth
er was unfavorable,. and Galtee- More
victory was foregone conclusion. The
stakes are 10000, G300 to second and
Zoo to third. The course is about a
mile and half.
Prime Minister led half way down the
hill, when Oakdene drew to the front,
followed by Galtee-Mo After cross
ing the road, Galtee- More assumed the
lead and won in canter by two lengths.
Eight lengths separated the second and
third horses, Velasques and History. The
Prince of Wales entry, Oakdene, was
fourth. 1t was anticipated that Velas-
quez would get second place. The rest
OF the starters were far below the usual
Derby form.
quarter of mile from home Galtee-
More seemed to be sailing home alone.
Nelasquez, however, continued to gall
Top on, and got closer and closer to the
leaders. Wood then called on Galtee-
More for the first time, and directly af-
Ter the jockey was seen to move a shout
rose that Galtee-M was the winner.
The Irish colt was far from beaten. and
responding splendidly drew out in inim-
liable style and won very easily. ST.
Cloud III. was fifth and Prison last.
The time was 2:24. Mr. Keene's ST.
Cloud Ill, ridden by Bradford. started
with the betting 100 to 1 against him.
A striking feature of the day was the
large number Of Irish people who came
10 see Galtee-More. The Irish boats
during the past few days have been
overcrowded with racing enthusiasts
from the Emerald Isle. Fewer Ameri-
cans We're present than usual.
The betting before the start was to
i on Galtee-More, ridden by Watts, and
"A to / against History, ridden by Can
non.
In spite of all drawbacks the scene be-
lore the race began was the same as
usual upon Derby Day, presenting
many racing features, which have been
familiar to almost everybody by reason
of their annual repetition. The royal
standard was hoisted at 12:45 p. m, an
nouncing the arrival of the Prince of
Wales and his party in the Enclosure,
and it was soon thronged with every
man Of note connected with the turf in
England and many distinguished for
eigners. The Prince of Wales party.
which arrived at EPSON by train from
Victoria station, included the Princess
of Wales and daughters, the Princess
Victoria of Wales and the Princess
oVla Of
Duchess of York, the Duke of Cam
bridge, Prince Charles of Denmark, the
Duke and Duchess of Portland, the Mar
quis and Marchioness of London, Earl
and Countess Caravan and number of
international officers.
Before the race the paddock was far
less crowded than usual. The gaiIy col
ored turbans of the visitors gave life to
an otherwise somewhat depressing
scene.
Galtee-More is the first horse bred in
ireland and owned by an Irishman
which has won the Derby. The merits
of the colt can be better gathered when
1t is remembered that Galtee-More has
won the Newmarket stakes and 1000
guineas this year.
