they rushed round the last turn into the
straight run for home Heno had still the
honor Of holding first place, but the effort
wa5 costing him dearly and already his
stride was beginning to shorten percepti-
bly,. He ran on with bulldog courage, but
could not shake off Otis. who had closed up
much Of the gap the eastern colt had
opened around the turn. Bellies Com
moner, wyeth and Aladdin now appeared
to be running more strongly than the two
leaders and those who are quick to discern
when q race horse is approaching the
beaten point raised a cry that neither
Heno nor Otis would get any of the money.
FavOrites Go Down.
No sooner did it become plain that the
favorite was really in distress than Otis
J also began to cry enough. With a furlong
still to run both were straight as a string,
and it was plain neither could stay In
front to the wire. Then 1t was hat Lyme
made his move on Wyeth. He set the colt
down and the son of Wadsworth and Fonsie
came away past the leaders with little ef-
fort. and a hundred yards from the wire
was hailed as a winner. Lyme kept him 60

should come behind with a rush. He was
watching for this and saw Lucien Appleby
and Aladdin coming fast to the finish. but
all he had to do was to keep his horse go
ing to stall of their furious rush. Woods
and Coburn were driving hard through the
last sixteenth OF a mile and they certainly
got the most out of their, respective mounts,
but 1t was not in Luclen Appleby and Alad-
din to beat Wyeth and he passed under the
wire a comfortable INNER by almost two
lengths. f''.t
Otis, despite the heavy weight he was
carrying, ran on to the end In the most
~Tesolute fashion and finished fourth, de-
prlving Heno Of that barren honor, but
having the satisfaction OF winning the duel
that he and the eastern colt had fought out
every inch Of the journey over the full
Derby course. 1t was a grand struggle be-
tween these two colts, who were beaten by
their own tremendous efforts and we're far
from disgraced.
1t is no exaggeration to say that today's
American Derby was the finest contest in
the eyes Of the horsemen that has been
seen here since Boundless beat an equally
large and high classed field in 1898.
