greater than at the Gravesend racetrack. Own

as one Of his horses, Morningside, Hanover

the many who were anxious TO felicitate him
upon his success. Instead OF coming himself,
however. he sent the following telegram:
The winning Of the Derby is a real triumph for
John b. HugEins who has so many friends among
racing people that would De pleased II you VIII

Copies of this telegram were posted in various
parts of the grandstand, and everybody pro-

the Ciravesend track privilege set all his en-
ployes at work extracting corks. and after
the first race there was punch for hundreds.
When the punch gave out champagne sue

losers in consolation, and both classes praised
Mr.. Whitney.
A number Of Mr.. whitney's friends called on
him at his home. to offer their congratulations

phone messages. Mr.. Whitney naturally

While it is pleasing intelligence that the colors

Derby OF 1901 national pride is not particularly
stimulated except by the fact that the winner
was handled by an American trainer. Nolodyov-
ski is not an American horse, and was never in
this country. He nominated for the Derby
t,y his owner, Lady MeuX. who raced under the
name of Mr.. Theobalds. and his racing qualities
were sold to Lord Beresford. Upon the latter's
death a lawsuit was fought over the possession
of the colt. and Lady MeuX won. Mr.. Whitney
then bought the racing qualities Of the colt for
this and next years and in his colors Lester
Reiff rode and was the first American jockey 10
win the great race.
The Derby was in 1881 by Iroouois, a
horse foaIed and raised in this country and
owned by Pierre Lorillard whose Tantalus was
among the colts beaten by Nolodyovski yester-
day. James r. Keene's Foxhell won the Grand
Prix and the ST. Leger the same year, but was
not entered for the Derby.
John B. Higgins used to train for Pierre Loril-
lard in this country, and went abroad about six
years ago TO train for Mr.. Lorillard and Lord

CUBAN CONVENTION WAITING
AT NON-ARRIVAL OF IN.
sTRUCTIONS FROM WASHINGTON

Havana, June 5.-The non-arrival Of instruc-
tions from Washington was a disappointment to
the Constitutional Convention, which assembled
nomnay to listen to the report of the COM
mittee on style and to accept formally the
amendment as passed a week ago. after the
committee had put the finishing touches to it.
The Conservatives had hoped for the arrival of
the instructions as to enable them to change
the style in such a way as to conform. If possi-
BILE to the instructions: but valuable oppor-
tunity was lost. The report was accepted and
will be sent to General Wood.
Senior Sanguily said that if the instructions
specifcaIIy stated that no interpretations or ex-
plantations could be added, the convention
should vote for against accepting the amend
ment without further argument
There seems 10 be feeling that II the in
structions are in the form of an ultimatum the
convention will unanimously refuse to accept
the amendment and will then dissolve
Senior Portuondo endeavored 10 open a dis
cussion as TO where to place the responsibility
for the misunderstanding, but the convention
refused to debate the question until after the
arrival of the official instructions.
The delay in receiving the instructions is
causing annoyance to General Wood, as he had
promised that the convention would have the
letter on Tuesday The poor mail service has
long been complained OF by business men here.
In this instance IT has brought the question TO
the forcible attention Of the military authori-
ties 1t is said that a resumption Of the Monday
and Wednesday mail has been ordered.
The Conservatives are not hopeful of holding
the fifteen who voted in favor Of the resolution.
At several meetings there has been discussion
tending TO embitter the delegates. who believe
they have not been used fairly, insisting that
they acted in good faith and with the under
standing that the United States would accept
the amendment as passed. The first draft was
not sent Washington.
At the request Of President Capote. General
Wood asked Secretary Root II the amendment
could be accepted with the explanations added
10 the clause Secretary Root replied: NO, bet
ter accept il without" The report was then
changed the original amendment being accepted
with the understanding that II would have the
interpretations given by Secretary Root. Gen
eral Wood sent the report 10 Washington by
cable on Sunday, II being the first full report
sent out Secretary Root telegraphed on Tues
day lust after the convention voted, that Wash
ington could not accept the interpretations and
explanations.
At meeting of the fifteen yesterday evening
il was said that General Wood told the com
mittee up 10 the last moment that the United
/ States was satisfied
