-
May Hampstead Won the Tenne-
see Derby
BEFORE A GREAT CROWD
Fifteen Thousand People Watched the
Race at Montgomery Park-A
Field of Four Contested
the Rich Przs.

Memphis; April 1s-Under fair s,,i,s,
and on fast track Messrs, Heaa1ev
ana Norton's unbeaten mare May
Hampstead won the Tennessee Derby
at Montgomery Park this afternoon in
a gallop from Chancery and Leo
Planter.
The gallant daughter of Patron-Lily
Hampstead was a decided favorite in
the betting. Perhaps the largest At
tendance ever known at Montgomery
fark gathered to see the race, and at
O'Clock, just before the Derby field
went to the post, it was estimated that
FULLY $4,000 persons were present. In
last nights entries only three horses
were carded to start, but at the last
moment Chancery was added, making
field of four to contest for the rich
prize. The horses were started prompt
ly, with May Hampstead five lengths
in the rear. The little mare Immediate
ly raced to the front and never relin-
qulshed her lead. Turner held her in
gentle restraint all down the back
stretch and won without effort by three
lengths. The fight for second money
was a spirited one, Chancery, well rid
den by 7. Murphy, beating Leo Planter
nose for that position. The Ken
tuckian, the second choice, was never
prominent.
The gross value of the Derby was
$I,060 of which the winner received
$3.50; the second horse $500 and the
third $3.50.
