AN AwFULLY CLOSE FINISH.
savable Beats Judge Hines and Lin
guist By q Head

Chicago, June 1S.-The Derby trial
special at Harlem Wednesday furnished
one of the most sensational finishes of
the year. Savable, Linguist and Judge
Hines, in fierce drive that commenced
al the head OF the stretch. came under
the wire as named, heads barely apart.
SaVable, the American Derby faVorite,
held at 1 TO in The race, showed Won
derful gameness at time when he ap-
peared beaten, but Gray, who had the
mount, held SaVable together and rode
him out to victory. Probably the most
remarkable run by any of the seven
starters was that of Judge Hines, win
ner of the Kentucky Derby and the
Hawthorne handicap. Trailing along far
back until reaching the stretch, he clos
ed with hair-raising rush and would
certainly have won had the distance
been mile and quarter, or the Derby
route of mile and a half, according
to the belief of the majority of horse
men and trainers at the track, Bernays,
highly touted for the Derby and second
to Savable in the NJ Lewis Clark
stakes, was never a factor.
Fearing injury from interference, Gray
had instructions from Trainer Wishard
to go to the front with Savable and keep
him clear. Gray obeyed as we'll as he
could, but Savable was unable to out
sprint Linguist until the half mile pole.
There he got in front and at the final
eight pole looked a certain winner. Then
Linguist and Judge Hines began 10
close in on the favorite and not until
the judges hung out the numbers could
if De really certain how the three had
finished.

Auditorium Annex, Chicago>

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton arrived in Chicago Tuesday very
sick man, and now is confined to MS
room at the Auditorium Annex, with a
physician in constant attendance.
Chicago, Sept. 17.-Physicians in At

clared Wednesday night, just before
leaving their patient, that his condi-
ton was satisfactory and he was not
thought to be in any immediate dan
ger. The following bulletin was Is
sued just before the doctors left the
hotel:
''The patient continues in the same
satisfactory condition. (Signed) Ho
mer M. Thomas, M. D., Geo. w. Web
ster, M. D., Nicholas Sem, M. D."
A consultation was held by the doc
tors just prior to the issuing of the
bulletin and they gave the friends OF
Sir Thomas Upton to understand that
the necessity of an operation, while
not obviated, was not immediate.
When the physicians were leaving
DR.. Sem remarked to DR.. Thomas:
1--WE shall be lucky to pull him
through this without an operation"
DR.. Thomas made no reply. but his
manner indicated that he did not dis
pute the opinion expressed by DR.
Sem.
The distinguished patient is suffer
ing from appendicitis.
