 Louisville, Ky. April 29.--The twenty seventh Kentucky derby has passed into history. and not one of the a00O people that saw 1t can say anything except that 1t was a race from the time the flag went down until the good son of Falsetto passed under the wire a winner in the good time of 2:o7al
 It has been said for weeks that without the invinci6le Garry Herman the derby would be an open race. and so 1t was. but had the recent acquisition of Captain Sam Brown been among the colts that were sent away, it Is doubtful If he would have added to his laurels, for Ills Eminenee was fit today to battle against any colt in the world He won and he deserved to win. for with long, even strides. be ne- eotiated the distance of a mile and a quarter like cloclo work. and never once did winkfield have occasion to resort to either whip or spur. The track record was not broken. but It is safe to say that had it been necessary to have won the twenty seventh Kentucky derby. His EIninence would have been equal to the effort and could no doubt have taken oir a fraction from the record of 2;oSA, made by Lieutenant Gibson.
 The Day Was Perfect. Had the day been made to ordr, IL could not have been more prop.tious. and there was not the slightest thing to mar the most successful race in the history of the Jockey Club. The track was lightning fast, and not less than 25o0o persons saw His Eminence win the classic event. for every place of vantage around the grand stand to which humanity could cling, was utilized. In the betting ring there was ,ostiing. surging crowd. and the eighteen books did s rushing business not only on the derby. but on all other events Aiard soheck. by reason of his workout on Fri- day morning, was a prime favorite, ana when the odds of to 10 were first chalKeo up money came in at such lively rate that the books could not handle It; But after each had gotten his share, the odds were cut to to ,, and thus remained ua- til the colts went to the post But. atter all the books did not quit winner on the race for loads of money went on ttls tn- thence at ab to l. and when some more venturesome bookmakers chalked up , against the colt, money came in so nVely | that 1t was impossible to handle It. i If was nearly o'clock when the ougie sourded for the derby They got away on the second break on comparatively even terms with His Eminence and pris- 1 coll having perhaps necks advantage l over tho others Down the stretch they l came toward the grand stand ana l length did not separate the i've colts witii nrfc Aiard Scheek Sanpazarro fourth ana Aml,r last Past the stand and around the lower turn they went with His En1i- hence still setting the pase. When they straightened ont on the back stretch Winkfeld on His Eminence was nngg1ns the rail still length In the lead. Alard Scheck had moved mp to second place and was a half length In front of Amur, who was about the same distance rom Sannazarro and Driscoll who were nov ing down the back stretch on even terms They passed the half in this position ana as they reached the three-quarters pre- paratory to making the final run down the stretch Jockey Woods loosened ms rein and called on the Schorr entry 10 overtake His Eminence, but the Memphis horse was not equal to it. for little by lit- file he fell back and as they turned into the stretch Sannazarro had moved up into second place followed by Driscoll ana l Alard Scheck, the favorite. was left to l fight 1t out with Amur
 Horse Wildly Cheered.
 His Eminence wns.' was the joyous shout that went up from thousands wher the Falsetto colt reached the seven eighths pole, running with long, ever strides and Winkield sitting in the sad dle guiding him to victory. Sannazarrt made one final effort. but It was or n' avail. for His Eminence was under thu wire a winner by full length of day with Sannazarro a half length In Iron | of Driscoll, Amur fourth and 8 iengtf away with Alard Scheck the favor1te De hind three lengths.
 There was cheering such as has seldom been heard at Churchill Downs before l and as tue good son of Falsetto Wal ridden into the circle q handsome blanke of carnations and smilax was thrown ove the prancing victor.
