that will long be remembered by the 1900
people who saw it. Derby day dawned
dark and gloomy and by 10 o'clock the
rain came and continued at Intervals until
2 O'clock. The sandy soil of the track
absorbed it, however, and the going was
not over second and a half slow when
the bell sounded for the Kentucky derby,
the fourth event on the card.
Piaudit, Lleber Karl. Dan DOR and ISL
hey came from the paddock in the order
named and the appearance of each was the
signal for applause
They were sent away in the first break
with Lieber Karl In front, Isabey second,
Plaudit third and Dan DOR last. Burns
went out to make the pace and he had COM
mand by half length as they raced down
the stand, with Han DOR second 'sa-
hey third and Plaudit last with two lengths
covering the bunch. These positions were
maintained as they went around the lower
turn and when they were strained out on
the back stretch, Lieber Karl was O. length
and q half in front, while Sims had brought
Plaudit up to second. Down the back
stretch they went and as the turn was
made for the final run Sims went to work
on Plaudit and he responded. Every stride
enabled him to cut down the distance and
when they faced the wire in the stretch
Lieber Karl had but a half length the adj
vance with Plaudit still lessening the dis
tance They were on even terms at the
eighth pole and then amid enthusiasm,
Plaudit Numbered down the track and to
the wire winner of the twenty-fourth Ken
lucky derby. Lieber Karl was not neglected
an dhe finished second because he had met
his superior Isabey was third, a half
length away.
