PRESBYTERIAN TIE WINNER The Schorr Candidate Captured
 the S7,000. WAS ALWAYS THE FAV0RITE Opened at 4 to 5, But Under the Heavy Betting Receded to 9 to 10--Joe Shelby
 We'll Backed.

 City clubs meeting terminated today with the $70OO derby, at a mile and an eighth Despite the suspension of the compliment tary list, the stand and adjacent grounds were thronged and the infield filled with carriages The derby was the fourth race on the card, and promptly at 4:25 o'clock the contestants for the prize emerged from the paddock for the parade past the stand. Joe Shelby led off and was followed by Isabey, Bennington and Gardner's pair, Nabob and Dinsmore Presbyterian, the favorite, brought up the rear.
 The Schorr candidate was always favorite In the betting opening at four to five and receding to niue to ten. Joe Shelby opened at sixes and closed at eight and the entry was backed from tens to sixes. While most of the money went on the faverite, Isabey was backed from eleven to five to twos. The others were generally backed for third place. Starter Fitzgerald dropped his flag at the first break to excellent start 2 Nabob and Dinsmore were off in front to- gether and alternated in the lead for full mile, the others punched and well up and all crowding or jostlng or less Rounding into the stretch there was a general cleaning up Nabob maintaining a lead Of half length with his stable com panfon second, the favorite third and Shell by and Isabey following, the latter swing ing wide on the turn. Burns put up des- perate ride on the favorite in the last six teenth, squeezing to the front through a narrow opening and riding vigorously to the wire. In the last few yards Presby- terian swerved to the inner rail, under his punishment, shutting Shelby and Dinsmore off Shelby fought 1t out gamely to the end, but was beaten length by the fa- vorite. Isabey hung when it came to the final drive and Nabob tired badly in the last eighth, leaving the third place to his stable companion. Thus John w Schorr & Son, of Memphis, have every stake for which they have tried at this meeting: They also won last years derby with Meadow Thorpe The victory was only mildly popular a.-..s..
 After the race, Knapp, who rode Isabey, claimed foul against Dinsmore for inter- ference in the stretch. and Scherrer, who rode Nabob filed similar complaint against Joe Shelby. Both claims were dis allowed. After the race Knapp complained with some bitterness of the recklessness of the other boys In the race, and finally became so abusive that his badge was taken away and he was ordered off the grounds. The weather was barely clear and the track fast. Presbyterian and Headlight were the only winning favorites, T. Burns riding both.
