Louisville. KY. May 2.-After a win
ter of racing, Elwood, C. H. Durnelrs
bay colt, son of Free Knight came
across the continent and to-day took
the most holly contested Kentucky
derby since the famous race between
Proctor Knott and Spokane. The win
ner was the longest priced horse in
the race, and as usual Tennessee and
the Blue Grass went broke. A crowd
of 1900 persons saw the race.
Proceeds was favorite at post odds
of even money, Brancas was second
choice at to l, Ed Tierney at to
/. and Silver Wings and Elwood at
6 and 10 to l, respectively, while in
some books as good as Is to l could
be had on Elwood.
The field of five was sent away al
most Immediately to a good start.
Proceeds took the lead and began to
cut out the pace with Prince Silver
wings, the choice of the Blue Grass
breeders, second. Brancas was third
with Ed Tierney and Elwood close up.
This order was maintained until the
half mile was reached where pro-
ceeds had increased his lead to near
ly three lengths. Almost Immediately
the favorite began to drop back and
Prince Silverwings moved along to
the front.
Leaders Tire.
At the mile post the leaders had
tired and the field charged into the
stretch with Elwood and Brancas al
most neck and neck and Tierney about
half length away. Out from the
bunch moved Elwood and Ed Tierney,
each with plenty of speed in reserve
and from the three sixteenth pole it
was a duel to the wire with Elwood
first and Ed Tierney's nose at his
flank. Summary:

dent Tommy will show flashes of his
old-time form when he steps into the
ring.
Those who know Feltz and his pc
culiar construction, physically, have
often wondered why he was not a
champion in his class. There are few
men in the ring to-day who have the
courage that he has, and can take
more punishment. His chest bone is
abnormal, extending fully six inches
further down than is usually the case
and it is almost an impossibility to
knock him out, as has been proven
by his several years in the ring with
out single knockout against him.
McFadden is one of the shiftiest
youngsters on his feet ever seen on
this side of the Rockies. They have
a knack of producing fast boys out
on the Pacific slope, and if McFadden
is a true representative of the class
he will make one of the fastest fights
ever seen here.

Throngs of visitors began pouring
into the grounds early in the evening
in anticipation of the illumination fea-

tiers lent attraction to evening visitors.
The plaza became the central point of
interest, as the main exhibition build

grounds are open, however, until IL
o'clock, so that visitors may enjoy the

count was completed to-day by Chief

FIRED FOR COWARDlCE.
Officer Missing When Wanted to
Arrest Chauncey Groves.

arrest Ohauncey GrONess
Macon, May 2.-Patrolman Seigel
was arraigned before the Police Com
mittee of the board of aldermen, Will
lams, Hopp and Chestney, tonight,
charged with cowardice, and was dis
charged from the force.
Some weeks ago Patrolman Mosely,
with whom Seigel was patrolling
beat on Mulberry street, undertook to
arrest Chauncey Groves. Groves de-
clined to submit and Moseley used his
club.
Quite a disturbance ensued on the
street, attracting a large crowd. Sci
gel disappeared during the racket and
charges of cowardice were preferred
The evidence tonight induced the
committee to believe the charges sus-
tanned and Seigel was dropped from
the police roll
Chauncey Groves, with whom the
trouble occurred, is park keeper, and
charges were preferred against him
before the Public Property Committee,
Massee, Damour and Sloan. The COM
mittee is badly split on the merits of
the case and no investigation has been
had. Chairman Massee declares him
self prejudiced in favor of the accused
and asserts there are no grounds for
an investigation, the case having been
ground through in Police Court. Sloan
and Damour take exactly opposite po-
stions and assert that an inquiry,
thorough, complete and searching,
should be made. Chairman Massee
will take no initiative steps looking to
a trial, and when the board of alder
men meets tomorrow night the SUBJ
ject will be brought to the attention of
that body in some manner.
The termination may become as in
tereSting as was the inception.
