says:
IT hasten to felicitate you, Mr..
President, on the victory French in
dustry has just won and of which l
have had the pleasure of being wit
ness. The welcome which the public
has given the victor proves how sue
cess gained through intelligence. and
common purpose serves to create SEN
timents free from rivalry"
NJ Loubet answered: Il am partic-
ularly grateful for your Majesty s
amiable telegram and for the senti-
ments which have inspired it. The
success of French industry could not
be better appreciated than by German
industry which was so worthy Of OBJ
tanning success"

CHICAGO, June 1s.-Without feeling
the touch Of whip or spur and running
entirely on his own courage, Highball,
the three-year- colt which w. NJ.
SchefteI brought to Chicago from the
East, won the American Derby to-day
at Washington Park. L. B. Dickerson's
Woodson, one Of the long shots in the
race, was second, half length in front
of John A. brakes Rapid Water. Eng
lish Lad, the favorite before the race,
was fourth, hopelessly beaten, although
he was coming strongly at the end. The
time, 2:33, equals the best time ever
made for this event. The Picket won
last years Derby in exactly the same
time. w. NJ. Scheftel. the owner of the
winner, is a Wall street broker. This
is the first year he has figured promi-
nently on the turf.
For the first time in the history of
the American Derby the betting ring
was without bookmakers. There was
some betting, Of course, but it was
without the knowledge of the 300 po-
Iicemen scattered over the grounds, in
command of Assistant Chief of Police
Schuettler. There were policemen
everywhere-in the stand. in the pad
dock, in the betting ring, on the lawn
and in the field. Private detectives
made up the rest of the army of 500
that was at the track to enforce the
law and prevent betting. None, how
ever, was necessary, as there was prac-
ticslIy no attempt to violate the law.
IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT.
Any bets that were made were
handled secretly. 1t was a pencil mark
on the cuff or a scrawl on a pro-
gramme. Usually the betting was
transacted by signals. This system,
however. went only for the big bettors.
AS for the man of limited means, there
was no chance for him to-day, and as
a result he saved his money. The alb
sence Of betting did not detract from
the race itself, nor from the crowd.
Spectators perhaps were less numerous
than last year, when it was estimated
that $4,000 persons passed through the
gates. To-day about 10000 or $4,000
less saw the race. 1t was, however, the
same riot Of color on the lawns, club
hos. drags and other splendid turnouts
were there in force, and the cheering
was just as lusty at the finish.
The victory Of the Eastern colt was
popular, despite the number of hackers
who had pinned their faith in the win
ter books on English Lad, Moharib and
Bill Curtis.
Fuller, who had the mount on the
winner. rode a magnificent race. High
ball was well within himself all the
way. and when challenged in the
stretch he had plenty to fall back on.
Out Of the 199 original nominations
for the race sixteen faced the barrier
to-day. Rainland and Proofreader, two
Of last nights entries. were scratched,
and Mayor David S. Rose and Copper
field were added.
BAD ACTORS DELAY START.
Once in the starters hands Volney
and Highball kept the man with the
The San Francisco call., 1904-06-19

flag busy and the field was held at the
barrier eleven minutes. With the tape
finally released Proceeds shot to the
front and remained there for a quar-
ter of the journey. The start was
good, but i'll luck befell some of, the
horses before half a furlong had been
traversed. English Lad got in a pocket
and was compelled to pull up. In
doing so the favorite fell to his knees,
only to recover his stride and to be
bumped again. In this jam Bill Cur
tbs was badly cut down, and his owner
after the race said that he might
never race again. Fort Hunter. the
Canadian colt was blamed for the in
terference. This colt had hard
journey also, getting into a pocket,
then working free, and leading for a
short time. These quick changes set
tied anY chance he might have had to
win the race. Proceeds retained the
lead until opposite the clubhouse,
where he commenced to fall back. All
this time Fuller, on Highball, had
rated his mount about two lengths be-
hind but always in call of the leader.
Rapid Water, running easily, hung on
in third place until the sixth furlong
post had been passed. English Lad,
after getting off sixth. soon fell back
to thirteenth place and remained
there for more than two furlongs.
Dominick gradually worked the IA
vorite through the field in front of
him, only to find himself cut off again.
Moharib. next to English Lad the most
heavily backed horse in the race, was
more or less interfered with.
PACE TOO FAST FOR MOHARIB.
Jockey Shaw, who had the mount
on Moharib. avoided the crush around
the turns and was third into the
stretch, but the pace was too fast for
him when the finish came. The same
applies TO Fort Hunter. In the mean
time Proceeds had set the field a
merry race. with Highbal and Rapid
Water in attendance. On the back
stretch Proceeds faded away to moth
ing, while Highball moved up and
took command. The remainder of the
field had no chance and were strung
out for an eighth of a mile. Moharib
hung on gamely. Rapid Water for an
instant fell back, but came again and
headed Woodson. The latter came
with a fine burst of saeed at the
close and finished half a[length in
front of Rapid Water. English Lad,
who had found clear sailing at last.
started after the leaders with Domi-
nick working with might and main.
In the meantime Fuller. on Highball,
skinned the rail, followed by Wood
son. Fuller had Highball we'll in
hand and a sixteenth from the wire
had the field thoroughly beaten
Woodson and Rapid Water were
under whip and spur. but Highball
kept in front and swept under the
wire a winner by length and a half.
FIELD BADLY STRUNG OUT.
Woodson was half length in front
Of Rapid Water, the latter being
three-quarters of a length ahead of
English Lad. Moharib was a distant
fifth. The remainder of the field was
badly strung out.
The race had a gross value of SS1,-
