LOUISVILLE. Ky, April 29.-The TWEEN
ty-seventh Kentucky Derby has passed
into history and not one of the 2s,te0
people that saw it can say aUght except
that it was "a race from the time the flag
went down until the son of Falsetto pass
under the wire a winner in the good time
of 2:07a4.
1t was nearly o'clock when the bugle
sounded for the Derby and people
scrambled for places from which they
might see the event decided. His Emf
hence, with WINFIELD in the saddle,
emerged from the paddock, followed by
Sannazarro, Driscoll, Alnur and Alard
Scheck in the order named. They were
soon at the three-quarter pole from
which the start WAS made and a moment
later there was break, the rubber strip
few across the track and a yell of they
are off," broke the almost GREATNESS
stiffness. But they were not. 1t was an
uneven start and Starter Brown had
called them back. There was second
attempt and the little red flag went down
and the twenty-Seventh Kentucky Derby
was on. They got away on comparatiSe>
ly even terms with His Eminence and
Driscoil having perhaps a neck's adj
vantage over the other three. Down the
stretch they came toward the grand
stand and length Gid not separate the
FIVE colts, with His Erninence III front,
Driscon second. AIard Scheqk third, San
navarro fourth and AInur Last. Past the
stand and around the lower turn they
went with His Eminence3 still setting
the pace When they Strengthened out
on the back stretch WINFIELD on Ills
Eminence was hugging the rail, still a
length in the lead. Ills Eminence
WINS was the joyous shout that went
UP from thousands when the Falsetta
nJoa1- fia5
ming with long, even strides and Wink
field sitting in the saddle guiding him to
victory. Sannazarro nlaxiesene, final eff
fort, but it was of no avail, for His
Eminence was under theSwfre a winner
by a full length of daylight, with San
nazarro half a length il front of Dris-
coll, Amur fourth, and length away
was Alard Scheck, the faverite, last by
three lengths. There wasa9 cheering such
as has seldom been heard at Churchill.
Downs, and as the good son of Falsetto
was ridden into the circle, a handsome
blanket of carnations and smilax was
thrown over the victor, and 25,o00 people
applauded his great victory.
