THE LONDON DERBY
Was Won by Flying Fox-Holocaust, Rid
den by sloane. Broke a Leg.

LONDON, May 31.-Glorious weather
prevailed at Epson to-day, bright sun
shine and a cloudless sky enlivening
the spirits of those who journeyed to
the Downs in order to be present at the
race for the classic derby stakes
The conditions of the race are as
follows: The derby stakes of 5000
sovereigns, by subscription CT so soy,
ereigns each, half forfeit, or 5 soyer-
eigns only if declared by the first Tues
day in January, 1898; for three-year-
olds, the nominator of the winner to
receive 500 sovereigns, the owner Of the
second 500 sovereigns, and the owner
of the third 200 sovereigns out of the
stakes: about one mile and a half;
2l5 subscribers.
The race was started three-quarters
of an hour late, and when the horses
settled down to work. HolocauSte was
driven to the front, followed by Flying
Fox. A mile from home the two fav-
orites were clear of the field. Holo-
causte led into the straight, but di-
rectly after Cannon sent his crack out,
and Holocauste's fate was sealed and it
was claimed that the fact that a fur
long further on the horse broke his fet-
lock joint did not affect the result. Il
heard it snap" said Sloan, who at once
dismounted.
Cannon, who was holding strong
lead, finished in canter. A hurricane
OF cheers greeted the result, which
naturally was intensely popular and
the return of FLYING Fox to the en-
closure was a triupmhant procession.
The Duke of Westminster went out to
meet his horse bareheaded. holding his
hat in his hand, and led Cannon back
to the weighing room. The Duke has
won several derbys. but this is the first
time Cannon has won the great race.
Summary: The Duke of Westmins-
ter's b. c. Flying Fox, won: Damocles
2; Mr.. J. A. Miller's br. G. Innocence. 8.
Twelve horses ran The betting was
5 to 2 on Flying Fox. ridden by Can
non; Is to against Damocles, and so
to against Innocence.
