 honors of favorite, failed to run his race
 and was fourth. His Eminence, pur-
 chased for 5000 by Clarence H. Mackay

 had bad start, but:undersJockey Odom's terrific riding at the end landed in fifth

 1 That it was a truly runyrace was the | opinion of every unprejudiceds spectator. The Parader.s fast the wind in the
 Derby workout that induced, his, owner to

 seventh away at the drop of Starter
 Dwyer's red flag after the field had made
 one false break. Pdggott had orders to
 make a killing race. He at once4took the | favorite to the front and there The Pa
 rader remained until the stretch was reached. Piggott is strongsrider and is
 credited with considerable Judgment, but I he did not figure upon all of the prob 1 lems that were known to Jockey Bull l man, who rated his mount into second l place and kept Robert Waddell within l striking distance until the head of the stretch.
 BuI!man DlsconsoIate. Pullman had been the most, disconsolate man on the big track an hour before the | Derby was run. Then it seemed to him | that he would not have a mount in the race, although last year, on Sidney Lucas, | | he had won the race, engaged to ride | Bonibert and displaced when the Eastern ( owner obtained the services of Jockey | Nash Turner from W. c. Whitney, Bull- < man was discouraged. Early in the day J. W Schorr. owner of Lady "Schorr, en- | gagged him to pilot the Ally, but the vet erinarian declared against the starting | of this speedy daughter of Echer, and | once more Bullman was fin the cold" Friends who knew his riding abilities | worked hard to secure mount for him.
 Virginia" Bradley was undecided be- tween VanDusen and See for the mount his entry. He had heard from the poolroom man that Buliman might not try to win. This decided the quaint Southerner Calling Bullman an hour before the bugle summoned the animals to the post he offered 5000 if he would win with Robert Waddell and Pullman was fixed at last. There were fifty-seven bookmakers at the big track and they did large volume of business on all of the races without interference by the authorities. Bulman's riding of Brad leys gelding caused considerable pick ing on the 12 to shot, but the bulk of the public play was on the "fashioaable' animals. The Parader held firm at to 1. Bonnibert opened at 3h to 1 and receded half point; Beau Gallant was backed at to 1, His Eminence opened at to 1. and closed at to 2 Considerable play on Saniszarro, the William Hays colt that would have been an excellent mud der had the track been heavy, sent his adds down from 20 to i to 5 to at post time. The withdrawal of Lady Schorr left the Schorr entry Silverdale, with a strong and loyal following which pounded the odds from to to l. Terminus was fancied by few as was evident by his stationary odds, the price opening and closing at 15 to 1. Six Shooter had never won a race in his career and few played this Sir Dixon colt at the tempting odds of 15 and 20 to l. Jockey McGinn, who had been secured to pilot Sadie S, the F. IF. Sullivan animal backed in the winter books for small fortune, never seemed to take his mount seriously.
 Ten First-Ciass Horses.
 An inkling of the workout for the American derby horses was given to the big crowd when ten first-class horses faced Starter Dwyer for the opening event at mile. A more brilliant scene In the infield with it's wealth of eQuipn page and bright costumes has never been witnessed at the big track. Perspirin8 masses in the crowded grandstand. looked down on the dust raised by the fields, Trumpets in the infield could not per- suade owners of costly gowns that dust did not fly in clouds. But ia was a. great, good-natured crowd and heat and dust did not ruffle tempers.
 Caviar took the initial event at a mile under restrainst at the end in TAO 1-5 Im- mediately critics began to predict rec ord-breaking derby. 1sias' six furlongs in the second race in 1:134-5s bore out the theory of speed. Boundless and Key Del Santa Anita had held the honors for speed In the American derby with 2:36 to their credit.
