Undiscovered Track.

CHICAGO, June blooming with a
sweeping stride through the stretch the
game colt Wyeth won John A. Drake his
first Derby and upheld the traditions of the
race by the overthrow of the favorites,
and by the Western horses beating the best
that could be sent from the East.
There is no room for argument about the
best horse winning. The race was free from
rough riding or anything in the nature of
a foul, was Clearly run and truly run and
Wyeth was the best of the twelve three
year-old colts that lined up at the barrier
to-day before Starter Dwyer. Jockey Lucien
Lyme rode a brilliant and sensible race on

Heno. the heavily played Eastern colt,
which went to the post the favorite at 215

that he did so was not altogether his own
fault. He ran gamely and fast. 1t looked as

race. For furlong after furlong he fought

A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment in
the race to those who decided at the last
moment to pin their faith to a Western
horse was the race run by Bellies Com
moner. He failed TO finish within the first
three.
The real surprises of the race were
Lucien Appleby and Aladdin, who finished
second and third, respectively. Lucien Ap-
pleby would have been conceded a good
chance had the track been heavy, but when
the dust was seen flying as the horses went

Corrigan and Lord Quex ran just about
such a race as most people expected of
them. With the going as good as it was.
Prowl had no chance whatever in this COM
pany. Had the track been heavy he would
have been conceded a fair chance.
The Cincinnati colt Hermis broke down
after running about a mile, but his show
ing up to that time did not lead one TO
believe that he would have been well up
to the finish had he been able to complete
the race.
One OF the best features of the race run
by Wyeth was that he got off last at the
fall OF the flag and wore the field down
one by one, striding along i'm an irresist-
ible style. without apparent effort, and
at the same time getting over the ground
g%randly. He appeared at all stages of the
race to be running well within himself, al
though passing one horse after another
and evidently travelling the fastest. They
never had him straight" and his neck
was not stretched until the final sixteenth.
Even then he was far from being all out,
and he clearly won with a little something
in reserve.
He avoided the early pace, never hurried
his mount at any part of the contest, no
matter what the leaders were doing, and
he was rewarded by finding at the finish
a grand run through the stretch. where
he came from behind and made a desperate
bid for third honors.
TOR OF RACE.
The story or the race is soon told. There
was but little delay at the post and Starter

Otis and Heno at once showed in front

the half-mile post to the head of the stretch

for the lead. Past the stand the same pair
