they passed the stand. Au Eevo!r was
fighting for his head and would not endure

keeping away from interference. He had
orders not TO go TO the rail. CLAUDE was
on the rail ali the way. Jack Young and
Sioux Chief were trailing.

As they swung f5r home Booker sat down
on Deaucaire and hit him with the whip.
Gallant was the response. Au Revoir,
Deutschland and Bas dor were done. The
white feet and great blazing face OF Beau-
caire came flashing from fourth place to
first. Then went up the usual cry, Beau
caire wins
THE FAvoRITE TIRES.
1t seemed that he was winning easily. He
dashed past the three tired leaders and
came on handtly. He ran an eighth OF a
mile in front. The Derby seemed to be al
his mercy. Claude and Sioux Chief were
working their way through the fading field
but slowly.
At the final eighth pole. Beaucaire stopped
short. He gave way. 1t was not that
Claude came faster or increased his speed
but that Beaucaire tired.
He simply had not had enough work and
racing 10 go the distance. Claude came
through in the track center galloping easily
Just as he had salloped the previous mile
and three-eighths. He just plugged every
foot of It, ''propputty, proputty prop" He
walked in
Beaucaire fogged out. tired second.
Sioux Chief was a good third. This green
colt ran as good a race as Claude. he kept
within three lengths OF him all the way and
wound up just as fresh and good.
They put the floral horse shoe on Johnnie

applauded The time was 1854. about as
