ton OF Lord Roeerts's entry into the Gold
holiday to-day. On the downs portrayals
of the Queen and the fayorite generals
were marked and distinctive features OF
to-day jollincation. Although the weather
was not promising the exodus from London
was hardly less remarkable than IN previ-
Gus years. The Epson road was conEested
trains had difficulty in carrying the
throngS.
A large number OF Americans patronized
the coaches. The Prince and Princess OF
Wales. the Duke and Duchess OF York.
the Duke and Duchess OF Connaught. the
Duh OF Cambridge and Prince Christian
OF Schleswig-Holstein. went to Epson by
special train. The Australian Federation
delegates travelled on the same train. King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway was ex-
pected to accompany the Prince OF Wales.

coaches were Mrs. Daniel Manning. Mrs.
L. NJ. Sothern and Miss Velasquez. OF

Richard Croker and his two sons were
among the early arrivals. Mr.. Croker said
10 a representative of the Associated Press
that he regretted that he had no horse

The royal party arrived shortly after I

In the paddock prior TO the big race there
was a brilliant gathering. Mr.. j. r. Keene.

traction and continually increased in popu-
larity. AS the horses paraded the Prince OF
Wales left the club Enclosure and stood on
the course, raising his hat In response TO
the great cheer which greeted Diamond
Jubilee as the colt led the procession.
Among the ~well-known persons observed
in the vicinity OF the Prince OF Wales's
party were the Duke of Devonshire. Lord
Rothschild, the Marquis of Londonderry.
the Duke of Portland, Lord Russell of Kill
lowen, Lord William Beresford. Earl Cado-
gan and the Earl of Durham, and their
greetings were heartiest when Diamond
Jubilee was announced to have won.
The present generation will never eface
the scene when the Prince of Wales's Per-
simmon captured the blue ribbon of the
turf, but to-day's demonstration when Per-
simmons own brother gave the Prince OF
Wales a second Derby, was almost its
equal. For a moment, within fifty yards OF
the post, Simon Dale's wonderful stride
seemed TO threaten the favorite's chances
His head reached Diamond Jubilee's girth,
but the latter's splendid form enabled him
TO maintain a short length lead until. I'm the
midst OF mighty cheers. he passed the post
a winner. The crowd then went wild with
cheering. Hats. flags. sticks. etc. few I'm
the air as the Princess OF Wales stood I'm
the royal box, smiling her acknowledge
ments OF applause. while the Prince Of
Wales and Lord William Beresford pressed
forward 10 lead the winner TO the Enclosure.
Then the little Jockey, Jones. was taken to
the royal box and. amid renewed cheers
from the crowd, received the personal con-
gratulations of the princess.
Tod Sloan was also much congratulated
on his excellent showing, and Mr.. keene
expressed his satisfaction at winning a
place. Incidentally the American contin-
gent were heavy losers on the day.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were
again enthusiastically cheered at Victoria
station and Marlborough House. where i'm
mense crowds Of people awaited their re-
turn.
The Prince of Wales this evening rave
the customary dinner party TO members Of
the Jockey Club. His guests included the
Duke OF Connaught. the Duke of York.
the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Christian.
the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke OF PORT
land the Earl Cadogan.
His victory Is worth f7.0W TO the Prince
of Wales. Diamond Jubilee has won him
nearly &11,o0 this season and the horse
has four great races ahead, three OF them
carrying $4,000 each, in which he will
meet some of the same competitors. II Is
difficult TO give anything like an accurate
tfmat of the amount of the wagers, but
some of the sporting writers believe that
e1,000,0O0 changed hands.
