KENTUCKY DERBY.
Pink Star Wins Louisville 8 Grand Prize With Ease.
zAL SECOND AND OVELABDO THIRD
Winner, Quoted at 15 to 1 In Bef- ting, the Longest Priced Horse In RnceyLongworth Couple
 Among the Visitors.


 LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 7.-Moving past spent and reeling field with an ease which his clumsy, lumberfng stride did not indicate, Pink Star, the longest priced horse in the race, won the Thirty-third Kentucky Derby by two lengths from Zal, with 0yelando in third position length and half away. The race was run over track almost fetlock deep in mud, and the time, PIP 3-5, was the slowest in the history of the race. Thirty thousand persons saw the race, Congressman Nicholas Longworth and wife being among the visitors.
 The heavy track caused the with- drawal shortly before the race of Arctic, a colt which had been an over whelming favorite in the future books. Boxara and Hold Fast were also scratched, leaving a field of six, with Red Gauntlet fayorite at 3 to ?, with a heavy play on Ovelando and Wool Sandals, each quoted at to 1. Zal, at 8 to 1, had some little support, but Orlandwick, at 10 to 1, and Pink Star, at 15 to 1, were virtually overlooked.
 The field was sent away to good start. Wool Sandals jumped into the lead, but soon relinquished the honor to Zal. Roland, on Zal, with Wool Sandals and Ovelando alternating in second place, set stiff pace for the first six furlongs considering the condi- ton of the track. By the time the mile was reached Zal had all in distress except Pink Star, who had moved up to fourth place.
 Thousands acclaimed Zal the win ner as they turned into the stretch, not seeing Jockey Kinder uncouple Pink Star The big bay colt speedily closed up the four lengths between him and Zal, successively moving down Wool Sandals and Ovelando with the greatest of ease.
 Halfway down the stretch Pink Stars pink muzzle showed in front, and the race was won. From there on to the wire Pink Star held the race safe. Zal and Oyelando, hard rid den, were unable to improve their posi- tions by so much as nose, and Pink Star went under the wire winner by two lengths, lead which he could apparently have increased if driven. The favorite, Red Gauntlet, remained in fifth place almost the entire race and when called upon in the stretch could move only into fourth place ahead of the wobbly Wool Sandals and the tired Orlandwick. The win ner is owned by J. H. Woodford.

 Says the Lewiston Journal "With the beginning of another season the Lewiston Wrestling and Athletic as- sociaton is planning to start wrest- ling circuit which will introduce the sport into other Maine cities outside of Lewiston Augusta Waterville and Biddeford. The association has made good in Lewiston the past winter, enough so to warrant branch  ing out ill new directions. Biddeford is already acclimated to the sport, and the French population in the oth. CT two cities is a guarantee of its success there. Lewiston will have it's two matches a month as in the past and in the other cities a match a month will be the plan at the start. The association will probably secure several good men and keep them Un- der salary, backing them as it has backed Barrett this season. Barrett and his wife left Lewiston for Low ell, where Mrs Barrett will stay with her people for time. Barrett has an early match with Joe Desmaris and Peter Ploude of that place and on the 14th of May will meet Prokos at the Columbus theater in Boston. Next week he will be in Lewiston and for several weeks in the summer and next fall he will come back for the season.

Charley Harvey, manager of John- ny Summers. the English feather weight champion, and Johnny Oliver, acting in the same capacity for Tom my Murphy, the well-known Harlem featherweight will meet at the Hotel Metropole tonight and sign articles for the boys to meet for six rounds before the National A e. of Philadel- phla during this month. The Phila- delphia club offered the boys guar antee of sixty per cent for their end. but Harvey tried to hold out for thirty-five per cent of this for Sum- mers' end. which Oliver would not listen to. If Summers is the fighter his record makes him Murphy will have to be at his best to bent him when they step into the ring.
 In one of his torrid atmosphere spasms, Billy Nolan got generous and guaranteed Abe Attell $500 purse if the little featherweight champion would go to England under his man. agement and fight Jem Bowker, the British featherweight. Inasmuch as Tom McCarey, of the Pacific A. c. of Los Angeles. had already sent Dowker an offer of twice as much for the same fight at Los Angeles, Attell didn't see Wonderful Willie's offer for a little bit and therefore turned 1t down good and hard. Attell wrote Nolan to that effect. and if Bowker wants a chance let him come to this country. where he can get more money fighting six rounds than he could get for twenty at his own home.
 The Victorious career of Willie Moody. of Port Richmond. was sud denly stopped at the Philadelphia spring Garden Athletic club last night when Young Otto. of New York knocked him out in the first round. 1t required only a little more than two minutes for Otto to turn the trick. during which he sent Moody to the floor four times.

THE PUGlLlSTS
GOOD FIGHTS
 THIS WEEK
Jack 0'Brien and Tommy Burns and "Twin" Sullivan and Hugo
 Kelly in Two of Them.

The golden west rises again this week and makes its bow as the cen ter of interest to fistic fans, for two big fights are to be held at Los An- geles before another seven days has rolled around. On Wednesday Phila- delphia Jack OBrien aud Tommy Burns are to enter into strenuous glove debate of the old, old question of individual supremacy, and on Fri day a fight of lesser class. but sure to be of speed, will be called, with Jack Q'win Sullivan and Hugo Kelly in the ring for twenty rounds. The first mentioned fight has furnished meat for much discussion in Califof- mia for the past couple of months, and the fans are about evenly divided as to the chances of the fighters. As for the Kelly-Sulivan meeting, a fair match would seem to be assured. The men have both showed up we'll in their recent fights, Sullivan especially, and judging from their past perform ances, the fight will be of the stand up and slug variety. With all due respect to Hugo, Jack (Twin) looks like the logical winner, but still Kelly may cop the big coin at that.

The Harvest Victim.

BY the middle OF each September
England will be dotted over with
stacks OF corn, and almost all OF them
when thatched will be crowned with
wisp OF straw tied on to a stick or
pitchfork and looking at a distance
about as much like a bird as scare
crow looks ike a man. This almost
universal and apparently meaningless
custom is a relic OF the pagan times
before the Roman conquest, when the
tillers OF the soil killed a human victim
to propltiate the spirit Of the corn and
buried him or part OF him in the stack.
Our wisps Of straw represent the effi-
gy which in later days was substituted
for the victim. Traces Of this super
stition are found all over the world
and in almost every century. survivors
Of the dim ages when man looked
upon the gifts Of nature as boon to
be bought with a price OF blood

VALUE OF STREET TREES.
Nothing Adds So Much 70 Q Towns
Beauty.

Nothing Adds So Much 70 Q Towns
Beauty.
There is pleasing unanimity Of opin-
lon among writers and lecturers on
street trees regarding their value to
abutting property as well as to the
community in general. Professor G. L.
Stone, botanist at the Massachusetts
Agricultural college, In lecture before
the Worcester County Horticultural 30
ciety opened with the following appre-
ciative words:
There is nothing which adds so
much to the beauty OF town or city
as shade trees, and persons OF good
taste appreciate this fact. One will mo-
tice in travelling that the villages adorn-
ed with a large number Of beautiful
shade trees are those In which have ex-
listed for some time considerable public
spirit, refinement and culture. On the
other hand, mill towns whose lnhab-
itants have no permanent homes are
usually notable for their lack OF trees
and embellishments in general. Shade

that OF utility, and we wish TO call at
tention to this feature because II is not
generally appreciated and furthermore
because II will appeal to the practical
man, who is little In sympathy with the
beautiful in any form. The decisions
Of courts In the United States have In
more than one Instance proved that
trees possess n property value and In
many cases from $50 TO $500 or more
has been awarded TO the abutter for the
destruction of single tree. 1t makes
little difference whether a tree Is locat-
ed on the street or on private land or
whether II Is set out by the town or
city or by the abutter since n tree in
front OF piece OF property adds value
to H. and the abutter can claim dam
ages for the destruction OF such tree.
An elm tree eighteen TO twenty Inches
in diameter, for example, may be worth
800 to $500, and one would experience
little difficulty in obtaining recompense
for its destruction"
