Immediately the Derby had been run ex-
travagant stories were circulated in the
crowd about the fortune Virginia" Brad
ley had won on the victory of his gelding.
Iurfmen rushed 10 the paddock and over
whelmed the tall Virginian with congratu-
lations. Enthusiasts who escaped the vigil
stroy the owners old hat, tear of his coat
ana play similar pranks on the quaintest
CHARACTER on the Western turf. But Pa
bradley was not 10 be stampeded. He de-
clared that he Just knowed he would win
with Waddell." and that he had played
rev hfty-dollar bills in the winter book
when the gelding was held at 800 TO 81.
Inc turfmen jumped TO the conclusion that
ne had won at least $4,000. and renewed
their enthusiasm until the fortunate owner
OF the Derby winner nearly tainted.
PA" BRADLEY TALKS.
Il refused the offer OF $4,000 that was
made for Waddell at Worth a short time
ago. remarked Mr.. Bradley. after he
had paid Bullman 5000 for his victory.
Just because 1 thought that the horse
that had been good TO me In many a hard
race would run as true as steel in a mile
and a half event There's nothing very
fashionable about Waddell He had his
last workout for the long route yesterday

him. All that bothered me was getting a
good, faithful jockey. Bullman fortunately
came my way, and Old Pa Bradley has
given the turf world something more TO
talk about"

$1,000, and The Paraders share of the
sweepstakes. $4,000 just about paid the ex-
penses of the colts long trip.
Although greatly disappointed because
The Parader had failed to stay in front to
the end of the race, Owner Wilson made no
excuse for his colt, except that he thought
the late trip had thrown him off edge.
Frank Carroll declared that his colt Bonni-
bert had not really run his race, and Clar-
ence Mackay said His Eminence had not
proved to be good a colt as he had
thought him to be.
II have no fault to find with Jockey
Odoms handling of His Eminence," said
Mr.. Mackay. THE chart of the race shows
that he got away tenth and lay in that po-
sition until the stand had been passed. The
