The time of the race-2:33 33-is the rec
ord for the American Derby.
Claude, the second horse, gets $4,000
OF the Derby stakes, and Bernays, which
ran third, receives $1,000.
While The Picket takes the hest req

Tor the Derby distance. July 49, 1898,
Goodrich, 3=year-old, carrying 1O2
pounds, covered the mile and a half in
2:3OA
The receipts of the Washington Park
CLUB for the day are figured at $500 OO
Automobile turnouts were far more
numerous than ON any previous Derby
day, but the stable equipages were on a
striking scale both in regard to appoint
ments and vehicles.
The display of fnery is said to have
never been surpassed on an American
race track
The total amount wagered on the
Derby is estimated at $1,5O0,OOO, far ex-
ceeding the plunging on any other Ameri-
can Derby. The biggest winner of the
day was Joseph Yeager. He is said to
have gathered in $4,000. Yeager had
$500 in Weller's winter book on The
Picket at 60 to l, winning $1S,OOO Louis
vile people won about $4,000 on The
P1cket's victory. John w. Gates and
John y. Drake had $4,000 up on Sava-
BILE, while DRAKE had $4,000 on Savable
in the winter books. Charles r. Ellison
had $4,000 on Judge Hines.
The only FLY in the race, Flocarline
made a fair showing, finishing seventh
while Judge Hines winner of the Ken
lucky Derby, finished absolutely last
All the big bookmakers, especially the
makers of winter books, are heavy win
ners on the event.
The South Side elevated road carried
10000 persons to the track, and the Hi
nois Central $4,000. Last year the ele-
waited line carried 10000 people and the
Illinois Central about 10000.

AZ ! American rt AZ t e Der5 h
in Washington Park, Chicago, Satur-
day.
Seventy thousand spectators, nine
teen colts, a new record for the stakes
the largest crowd, the biggest field,
and the best time in the history of the
classic event; first honors won in a
canter, and a fierce struggle for minor
glories; favorites hopelessly beaten be-
fore the final quarter is reached-all
that, and the floral saddle for The
Picket, is the Derby.
AS the winning colt won this, the
first victory of his racing career, the
Washington Park records for the Der
by went to smash, and the new mark
Of 2:33 was set up in place Of the
2:33 4-5 of Robert Waddell in 1901.
Same Old Story Re.o1d.
That Sayable the conqucror in the
Futurity and the pride of the Drake
stables, and Claude, the winner of
three Derbies, and Bernays should
pound their way around the track with
the heels of an untried horse digging
the dirt far ahead of them, was in
strict accordance with what is expect
ed in the American Derby. When it
was over it was easily recalled that
this is the way it always happens.
Jumping into the lead before the
o,,o,.+or x1-oc 700 a1,o5 Tho DioIyot cow
his competitors no more until they
We're gathered around him at the
judges stand. Turning slightly on his
mount from time to time, Jockey Hell
gesen could see the struggle behind
him, but it carried no terrOrs for the
speedy colt of Middleton & Jungbluth.
AS he passed the stand the first
time around he was in the lead. AS
the flying bunch reached the first mile
he was increasing his lead. When they
entered the stretch the race was hope
less for the other eighteen, and as he
crossed under the wire it was in a
canter. The real struggle was six
lengths behind him.
While The Picket was being walked
I'D and down in the cooling blanket a
cablegram was Oh it's way to an lnte-
rior town in Asia Minor. 1t told the
whole story of the day 1t went to
Karl Jungbluth, part owner OF the
fleet son of Falsetto and Noltario. And
all it said was:
"Picket wins"
Not cent of it's owners money did
The Picket carry. For them he won
the $2T 900 representing the net value
of the first money, and nothing more.
That more people saw the running
of this race than have ever seen a
horse race in the West, if not i'll the
country, is asserted by officials of the
Washington Park Club.
Within the grand stands the jam was
so great that movement was impossl-
BILE. The betting ring was glgantlc
sardine box in Q turmoil. The Club
house was Il crush of fashionable
fnery. brilliant with colors. The in
field was a small ocean of vehicles.
The rail along the track was lined
with humanity stacked in row after
row.
Enough spectators were hanging to
housetons and poles outside the track
to have packed the grounds for an or
binary race. Enough were gathered
outside the gates with no chance OF
getting the smallest glimpse of the
race to have made an army division.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia Sept. 29.-The week end
ing 8 a. m., Monday Sept. %, had a
mean temperature of Il degrees, which
is about 2 degrees below normal. The
first part of the week was unusually
cool, the latter part warmer than
usual. Light frosts were reported
from the upper parts Of Pickens coun-
ty. The weather was too cool for
growing crops, but was excellent for
harvesting operations. The winds
were generally light easterly. The
skies were clear, but with some cloudi-
ness in the eastern counties during the
middle of the week. The strong east
eFly winds along the coast caused high
tides that flooded some rice fields.
There was no rain during the week,
and the need of rain is again urgent
for fall truck, turnips, peas. and for
putting the soil in condition for fall
grain seeding. The absence OF rain
was favorable for harvesting opera
tions, especially for hayi ng. for pick
ing cotton, and for gathering corn.
The late corn crop is very poor in the
western counties.
No improvement in cotton is indi-
Gated, but rather continued deteriora
ton. The prospect for a top crop is
poor. Rust is still prevalent, and
blight on sea island and on some up
land, but thore is less premature open
ing.. the cool weather having checked
it, and the cool weather also checked
the growth of young bolls. In places
cotton confines to open rapidly, and
picking keeps pace with the opecing
generally, but in few counties pick
ing made slow progress owing to scar
city of pickers. In some Of the eastern
counties cotton is from half to two
thirds gathered, while in the western
counties only small portion of the
crop has opened. Correspondents are
unanimous in estimating the crop to
be short one, or below an average
one.
Rice harvest made favorable progress,
although yields are Disappointing.
Some rice was damaged by salt water
in Colleton county owing to high tides
flooding the fields. Sweet potatoes are
very promising. Some cats, barley
ana rye have been sown. Excellent
progress was made in gathering hay.
Minor crops are generally good, but
pastures and gardens are poor.

Lexington, S. c., via Columbia,
Sept. 28.-James q. Tnman has been
held to Judgment. In the name of the
law be must answer to the people.
Eight months ago he met his neigh
Dor, the neighbor OF every citizen Of
South Carolina who is inspired by pa
sriotic purpose, who loves clean, right
living; who reioiees in free, fair fight
ing, who has a big, tender. courageous
heart he met his neighbor in the way
and slew him. That much all men
know. The Court, the prosecution,
the defence all-acknowedge this one
gaunt fact. Even the fctions of the
law take cognizance of it without de-
manding proof. It is true the dead
tell no tales, bear no witness, make no
protest, weep no tears. condemn 40
man. But N. e, Gonzales was killed
by James q. Tillman. Is not the
grave there in ColRmbia? The men
and women who kaBR and esteemed
and loved its occupant will build over
isa monument in testimony Of the fact
that the Life be iisad was worth the
living, that the.wosk he did vas worth
the doing, that the death he died, hs
itsmurder orbei II . mere tragedy, was
the occasion for profound pablo sos-
row.
Since then she spring and its flowers
have withered before the fierce suns Of
summer, and tbs garnering time is at
hand. An appropriate season for gath
eYing in the frniss of the deeds done
in the body, no less than the increase
of field and forest. SD James q. Till
man joins the multitude of husband
men and comes to the harvest of his
doing. Clothed ip Judgment, his TEL
low citizens are to decree whether he
has clean hands and a bloodguiltless
heart; whether he shall return unspot-
ted to the bosom Of society. or whether
he shall go to the goal or the. gallows.
That lie has slain his brother is known
of all men, but it must be determin-
ed ay code, precedent, practice, quib-
BILE, argument, evidence, sympathy,
prejudice-all the influences that en-
ter into public trial-whether he is
criminal or whether he is merely
the victim of an untoward fortune
that ordained a making deed.
Marvellous indeed are the fctions of
the law, that relentless nemesis to
which society has given dominion over
itself. Piling themselvse upon Pelion
Ossawise, they have overrun the stat
ute books and possessed the minds
of men. Founded, doubtless, in alb
stract equity, they brook no question
of the universally of their applica-
tion. To the patriarch of old it is
