THE GENUINE OVATION

dry by one length, in 2:33 As, record'
time for the race. Few in the surging,
cheering throng had backed the COM

had diSmounted and verified his NelshI.

third. Frank Farrell's Bonnibert, thats
shared with the Parader at one time
the honors Of fav0rite, failed to run his
race and was fourth. His Eminence-
purchased for SIC, 600 by Clarence H.
Mackey, and groomed for a victory IN
the classic, had a bad start but, under
Jockey Odan's terrific riding at thu end,
landed in fifth position. Sannazarro,
Six Shooter, Beau Gallant, Silverdale,
and Sadie S. finished in the orde"
named, behind His Eminence.

pullman had been tbs most disconso-
late man On the big track an hour and
q half before the derby was run. Then
1t seemed to him that he would not
have a mount in the race, although last
year on Sidney Lucas, he had won the
race. Agreed to ride Bonnibert and dis
placed when the owner obtained tie
services of Jockey Nash Turner, Bull
man was discouraged. Early in the
daysJ. w. Schorr, owner Of Lady Schorr,
engaged him to pilot the FLY in the
mile and a half event. but the veterin-
arian declared against the starting ~

Friends who knew his riding abilities
worked hard to secure q mount for him.
Virginia Bradley was undecided be-
tween Van Dusen and See, for the
mount on his entry. He had heard from
! the pool room men tina, Bullman might
not try to win. This decided the quaint
southerner. Calling Bullman al hour
before the bugles summoned the ami
mails to the post, he offered $4,000 if ne
would win with Robert Waddell. Bull
man was fixed at last. Frank Farrell
told him that he could not straigl.en
the tangle and rendered the jockey $500
for his humiliation. With this roll Of
bills in his jockey boot and Virginia"

could not lose the race.
There were ffty-seven bookmakers at
the big track and they did a large vol

without interference by the authori-
ties. Bullman's presence on Bradley
