LOUISVILLE, KY May 3.-To the lusty
cheers of thousands Alan-a-Dale, the
good son of Halma the latter himself
winner of the '95 Derby, this afternoon
passed under the wire winner of the
twenty-eighth Kentucky Derby
Regardless of the fact that the directors
of the new Louisville Jockey club, by
reason Of the augmented expenditures,
had found it necessary to increase the adj
mission for the opening day, there was
the same great mass of humanity tEat
is always present on the annual occasion
at the historic old course.
The society, not only of Louisville, but
Of the entire state, was represented.
Gov Beckham and his staff were in at
tendance, as were other public officials
from adjoining states.
For the Derby the bOOkmakers were
kept busy for a half hour, taking in the
bills almost frandcally showed at them,
for none of the colts lacked for friends
Abe Frank the Choice.
Abe Frank, the much heralded winter
favorite, was the choice in the betting st
8 to and only occasionally did some
more venturesome~ bookie "hunch the
odds and then only for a short interval
The Mcdowell entry was to 2 while
Inventor figured at 10 to l to win and
better, considerable going on him at l1a
for place.
After several attempts to start, spoiled
by Abe Frak, who was a little over anx-
ious, they were sent away on compare
lively even terms with Alan-a-Dale
neck in front Of Abe Frank, The Rival
third and Inventor last.
Down the stretch they came to the
stand Alan-a-Dale was en- the outside,
but when the red bunting went down,
WINFIELD, at a As angle and a burst OF
speed. shot to the rail and there he stuck.
At the stand he was a length in front
with Abe Frank still second, The Rival
third and Inventor last, but all well up
and running under a strong pull.
Around the lower turn they shot with
the chestnut son of Halma still showing
the way. The gap was gradually length
ened down the back stretch until WINK
field had a half dozen lengths of day
light between his mount and Abe Frank,
the favorlte, The Rival still being third
and Inventor fourth And thus their
positions remained until they rounded
the last turn for the final run into the
stretch.
COburn Saw His Time.
Coburn saw his time had come and he
went to work on the favorite but Abe dId
rot have to run in him, for although ne
closed a few lengths of the gap, the Han
over colt found trouble in the rear, for
placed The Rival, while both were making
rapid inorads upon Abe Franks lead.
Now the stretch had been reached and
thousands of eager eyes We're turned upon
the four colts in the final struggle.
Many a disappointed look fell upon the
favorite as Abe showed signs OF distress,
for he was certainly a beaten colt.
The race was now between the McDoWel
entry and Inventor, the latter showing
q burst Of speed at the finish that for
a time seemed to threaten Aian-a-Dale
but little WINFIELD without whip or spur,
sent him under the wire winner by
length, with his stable companion fight
ing for second place and only neck De-
hind Inventor, Abe Frank being half
dozen lengths away.
The colts were badly tired but it was
a great race and the best colt won, for
Alan-a-DaIe was in prime condition and
fit for the race Of his life. Cheer after
cheer greeted colt and jockey as Wink
field rode in the circle. The track was
good but not fast. Summarizes
