I
BsyaTdO Goes Wrong.
Bayar1o is a rank counterfeit. He
was the post tip. and from every quar-
ter there came an avalanche Of money
to back him, so that he closed a fraction
of a point closer than the Kings horse,
at to /. in the books in the Enclosure.
All of his backing was professional,
however. aud was due TO his known liz
ing for soft going and the fact that
Danny Maher, who is popular idol de-
spite his American birth, had the leg
up. But, try as he would, Maher could
do nothing with last years two-year-old
favorite. and he cuTbed up and flung his
tail in the air when the boy started TO
drive him after turning into the stretch
straight away.
The post betting against LOuviers was
TO I, and against William the Fourth,
20 to 1.
Nerve-Raeking Finish.
The finish was nerve racking in the
! extreme. first LouvieTs and then Min
oru having their heads in front and in
dlng-do1g drive finish they came down
on the Judges. At the very last mo-
ment. however, Jockey Jones, who. rode
the winner. fairly lifted his mount past
tie post, winner by the shortest of
heads.
The story of actual running Of the race
cut out a desperate pace for his stable
mate, I4ouvieFs. Blackburn sending
him to the front as the gate went up
in a Ine...Hew indicating that the course
was but six fdIfongs in length. But
Jones, on the Kings horse, refused TO
fall into the trap and placed his mount
fifth, clinging closely to the rail. Sir
Martin was well up with the leaders
and running strongly, but rounding
/ Totteughan's corners he seemed 10
cross his legs and he went down in a.
heap. II looked from the stand as II
he was badly hurt.
Trio Draws Ahead.
Bounding into the stretch. Jones went
to a drive on the Kings colt. as did
stern, on I,ouYiers, and Higgs, on VII
liam the Fourth. The three drew away
from the nov. Iengthening outheld, and
/ it was plain that one Of them must Wins
as the remainder were in distress
William the Fourth was apparently
/ short OF work. however. and he cracked
opposite the far end of the stards but
/ kept rnanfuliy at his WORK TO the end.
/ But Jones and Stern were using tneiI
whips and riding as they never hsd
| ridden before. It was Jockeyship at the
/ end. and to Jones as much as to ms
| good colt King Edward owes the most
/ popular victory Of his career.
So soon as number had nee mo 4o's ZEE

wore the smile that has endeared him

Sing National Anthem.
FINALLY. after the horses had left the
/ track, the c,sowd damned itself in front
| OF the royal box and. with their maje5-
ties and the other occupants Of the
stand on their feet. with a mighty roar,
some one started God Save the King"
! Along the rail and through the crowd
the national anthem swept like fire.
1 Men. women, and children Joined in

TO be forgotten.
| Sir Martin started the actual favorite
in the betting, his odds having been
driven to to l before the starting gate

| even money offered that he would not
be one. TWO, at the hnish. 20 Key Maf-
tain was thrown clear OF his mount
when Sir Martin went down and was
unhurt. but II is feared the big Ameri-
can colt Is badly injured. Veterinarians
have been sent to examine hin.
/ Crowds Not Oampened.
If took more than a-sinple- rainstoFn
ia danpen the ardor of the crowds that
wanted TO see the Derby run today
and the throng that packed about the
grounds was one of the largest in the
history of the course. The exodus sci
in about midnight, and from that houi
on the eighteen miles OF roads thai
stretch between London and the Downs
were black with people. Every con
ceivable method of transportation wa
pressed into use and big high-poweret
automobiles were held in check by th'
| donkey and cart Of the London costel
who Folds his Derby day holiday mor'
dear than any privileges otherwise en-

was wide criticism of the officials wh'
had staked their regulations on tn

Prince and Princess Of Wales, AM
members OF the royal household to de
