THE BEST OF THE BUNCH

Chicago. June M.-co ming with q sweeping stride through the stretch. tho game colt wyeth won John A. Drake his first derby and upheld the traditions of the race by the overthrow of the Ia vorites and by the westers horses beat ing the best that could De sent from the East.
 There is no room for argument about, the best horse winning. The race was free from rough riding, or anything like a foul was cleanIy and truly run, ana Wyeth was the best of the twelve three- year-old colts that lined up at tho bar- rier today before Starter Dwyer. Jockey Lrcien Lyme rode sensible race on Mir. Drake's colt.
 Heno. the heavily played Eastern colt. who went to tho post the favorite at 1-2 to l. failed to finish inside the money, and that he did so was not alto- gether his own fault. He ran gamely and fast.
 It looked as though Jockey, BuiIman made e mistake by using Heno so much
 
 long after furiong he fought for the lead with Barney Sohreibers Otis, and they set pace, which. in the slow and dead track. told on both horses in the strug- gle foR the home stretch.
 Singleton Censured.
 Singleton. on Otis, was censpred by many good judges of racing for using what appeared to be sinsaiariy poor juig- ment in taking to the front colt carry ing 1N pounds and trying to tip toe such large and high class field.
 Pentecost and Arsenal ran a terribly disappointing race. Neither ever reached a position sufficiently near the front to be regarded as a serious contender. and visitors from the East attributed the un- satisfactory performances of these colts to their unusually long and trying rail- road journey on the eve of such an iin- portant contest.
 Perhaps the greatest disappointment in the race to those who decided at the last moment to pin their waith to a Western horse was the race run by Belle's Com- moner. He failed to finish within the first six.
 The real surprises of the race were Isu- cien Appieby and Aladdin, who finished second and third respectively, though Lu- cien App1eby would have been conceded a good chance had the track been heavy.
 Corrigan and Lord Quex ran just about such a race as was expected. while with tho going as good as it was Prowl had no chance.
 The Cincinnati colt Hermis broke down after running about mile.
 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 in an irresistible style without any apparent effort.
 wyeth Not All Out.
 He appeared at all stages of the game to be running we'll within himself. al- though travelling the fastest of all They never had him straight" and his neck was not stretched until the final slx- teenth. Even then he was far from be- ing all out and he clearly won with something in reserve.
 Coburn rode d patient race on Aladdin. and he was rewarded by finding at the finish that his horse had enough left to make a grand run through the stretch. were he came from behind and made a desperate bid for third honors.
 There was but little delay at the post. and Starter Dwyer got them away wish a good send off. Otis and Heno at once showed in front with Wyeth last. Round the turn from the half mile post to the

Otis and Heno had drawn clear of all contenders. and already were fighting for the lead Past the stand the same pair was still running head and head. well in front of the field, on the outside of which were Arsenal and Corrigan, both a little too far back to please their packers.
 Round the club house turn went the flying leaders, and by this time Aladdin

 When half the distance of the race had been completed, Heno and Otis still held | commanding lead and showed no sign of tlring. Belle's Commoner and WyetE were the nearest attendants, though Aladdin was still well up and on th< rail, Coburn apparently preferring to drop back to fifth place rather than hustle his horse with half the race yet to be run.
 Heno Makes His Run.
 There was no change in the order lown the back stretch, but when a full mile had been completed, BulimaE seem- ed to think the time had come for him to make his run with Heno. Heno, when let down, drew away from Otis. ana went round the far turn. increasing hia lead until fully three lengths ir advance Otis hung on gamely, and 1t was nr' ong before Heno began to show sgni # coming back.
