who had wagered upon his chances, only
faint applause from scattering few

liant colt.
Eight out Of every ten horsemen whose
opinions are accepted as valuable had
picked Gibson to win, and win easily, over
a track supposed to be just TO his iik-
ing slightly slow and holding, but drying
out rapidly under the bright sun Per
haps not one in a hundred had picked
Sidney Lucas to turn the trick, certainly
not one in a thousand imagined he would
win practically all by himself
The attitude of the crowd was almost
one of sullen disappointment, yet it was
a true run race under the day and con-
ditions. Lieut.. Gibson, the favorite, had
no excuses. Sam Phillips, as second
choice, was in the same unfortunate cate
cory. Thus the great event passed into
turf annals and registered the ninth de-
feat OF a favorite in a race which has
been contested thirteen times.
ANIMATED SCENE.
Before the result, mourned by so many
had thrown its damper upon the spirits
of nearly all except the bookmakers, the
scene was one of animation Flashes of
color in bewildering profusion shown out
in the infield where society viewed the
race. The club house, even more select
was one bewildeTing array of pretty
women, in derby gowns, while In the
gran0stand, where a great majority set
tied TO pay honor to the game thorough
bred supreme on derby day, there was
bewildering and Kaleidoscope shifting of
all those dainty tfnts which form the
costumes of women and enhance their
beauty.
When the starters and Jockeys were
posted for the one star feature event of
the Gay the crowd or rather the male
portion, surged In almost endless stream
toward the ring where the pencilers stood
on their little. stools offering odds The
booths prevalent on Western tracks were

more on the hand book plan Only the
hardy stood through that crush but the
timid were glad when the race was over.
AT THE POST.
When at last the bugie called the six
chosen thoroughbreds to the post there
was a hushed expectancy. All were eager
to see the royal purple of Board of
Trade Charley Smith borne by Lieut..
Gibson, for the colt had not made a pub
lie appearance in Chicago. The expecta-
tions were more than realized. He was
the only really racy-loozing youngster in
the bunch his mincing step and side
step pirouettings standing out in con-
trast to the rather detected appearance
of the balance of the field. Sidney Lu-
cas- attracted attention, but it was the at
tention bestowed upon red flannel
bandages upon his fore legs IT'S too
bad to start such a cripple" said one
sympatheties woman. Others smiled
knowingly A1 derision. The colt ap-

teller, the German minister at Pekin, can
be credited, it will tend materially to
brighten the situation at the Chinese cap
ital, as it leads to the inference that the
other legations are similarly safe.
1t appears from telegram sent by the
German consul at Che Foo that Com
mander Lans, Of the Iltis, was really
wounded at the Taku fight, together with
fourteen other Germans, while seven were
killed, including Lieut.. Hellman. Proba-
bly, Commander Lans' telegram to his rel
atives at Vessel meant that his condition
was satisfactory.
Yokohama reports that another division

A dispatch received here announcing the
burning of Wei Hal Wei is evidently a

Tsin.

and 1T was satisfied. Around the
stretch turn and down the straightaway
Tor the first time swung the field Coming
past the gcand stand Lieut.. Gibson, fair
ly flying, was leading by a head and
James, running almost as easily, but
without that overwhelming desire to
rush to the front, second. Sam Phillips,
the hope of the Schorr stable, with
Jockey Tommy Burns in the saddle, was
third. The disconsolate-looking Sidney
Lucas was fourth, with Barrack and Ad-
vance Guard bringing up the rear.
On swept the field past the quarter
pole, Sidney Lucas displacing Sam Phil
lips In third position. Jockey Mitchell
loosened his wrap on the reins through
the back stretch and James moved to
the van. He was only a length before
Gibson, who had Lucas at his saddle
girth. Still there was no indication of
impending disaster. The son of G. w.
Johnson and Sophia Hardy was going
easily.
LUCAS MOVES UP.
Around the far turn Boland began to
let down his mount, but only slightly;
the first three moving to the pole, de-
noting the final quarter mile to the wire,
half lengths apart. There Gibson surely
would go to the front, thought the
crowd. But it was Sidney Lucas who
was moving to the front. Gibson is
beaten sounded the cry, first of sur
prise. Again it sounded, in tones of
despair And Gibson was beaten. Short
ly after he was caught between Sidney
Lucas and James and his progress slight
ly interfered with. Boland would have
had to go around, but the two were leaV-
ing the carrier of many thousand dol
lars of public money behind. There be-
between the quarter and eighth post was
decided the thirteenth American derby.
Thompson Bros colt outstripped James,
and an eighth of a mile from home he
was two open lengths to the good. For
an instant Gibson rallied and drew up
slightly ahead of James, but it was the
last rally.

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch from
London says:
In the lobby of the house of commons
last night it was declared that the gov
eminent had issued orders for the seizure
of Ii Hung Chang and for his imprison-
ment at Hong Kong, pending his deper-
tation to some place in India in the event
of his carrying out his project of pro-
ceeding northward by sea, in compliance
with the summons from Picking.
English gunboats and cruisers are how

Kwantung, with orders to intercept any
vessel, no matter what flag it flies, hav
ing the viceroy on board, and to secure
his person.
ut was resolved to hold Ii Hung Chang
as a species of hostage, and, moreover,
it appears that Sir Harry Blake, the
governor of Hong Kong, has obtained
strong proof that the old viceroy of Can
ton, in spite of his professions of friend
ship for the foreigners, is in thorough
| sympathy and in league with his old
friend and patron, Prince Tuan.

80 900 Mauser rifles and a quantity of
