.GOV.GRAY WON
 LATONIA DERBY
TAKES CLASSIC EVENT IN REC ORD TIME IN EASY MAN
 NER.
Star Charter is Second and Messen- ger Boy, the Dark Horse Wins
 Third Money.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 10. --Cheered by l5,00O people, the largest crowd that ever packed the stands and lawns of the l4atonia Race Track, Governor Gray, the favorite, today won the twenty ninth running of the hisoric Latonia Derby and in so doing not only clipped two seconds from the track record for one mile and a half, but almost equallei the AmerI- can record for the distance.
 Despite victory was an easy one and fer from exciting, the winner passed the wire amid tremendous ap- plause. Star Charter was second, four lengths behind Gov. Gray, while Messenger Boy, "The Dark Horse" of the event, rewarded his packers by securing third money, two length be- hind Star Charter.
 Summed up the day was perfect, the crowd was record breaker for the course, the race was truly dun, the best horse won and the fast time was mode.
 Getting of in fifth position, Gov ernor Gray trailed his field, allowing the much touted Colston to run out in front with Mudsill and White Wool Tn close attendance. Star Charter was in fourth position and Messenger Boy in front of Governor Gray and the gelding, responding gamely, shot to the front in the next eighth of a mile and was leading into the stretch. Here Wilson on Star Charter, began his ride. but 1t was of no avail for the farther Governor Gray went the greater the distance between the leader and his field. He won practi- cally eased up and by four lengths in the remarkable time of 1:30 2-5, al- most duplicating the feat of Goodrich at Washington Park, Chicago in 1898. when the latter made the distance in 2:30 1-4.

SUBSCRIPTION
 ILIST ID DATE
ROSTER OF THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE WEST
 ERIN RAILROAD OUTLET
Revision of the List Is comple etc, Showing Some Very Liberal Sub scriptions From Citizens
 cf Kct Springs.

The total O s45,050 of the neces- sary $60,000 to guarantee a western outlet for Hot Springs that will put this city on a trunk line, and be the forerunner of many other railroad ac- tivities, has been raised. The com mittee yesterday afternoon made a complete summary of it's work for the week, and it is a very flattering re- port, though much more work will have to be done before the road is guaranteed to Hot Springs.
 The committees wanted to make the final answer to the railroad by next Wednesday at least, that the city was ready to pay the $60.0O0, so that the Dallas. Memphis and Gulf rail- road company could begin to fulfill its part of the contract and start to work on the small gaps which must be built before the road can be con nected to this city.
 The individual subscriptions will be of interest to all. First the numbeg of subscribers will be apparent, for this is no small part of our business people represented here. Next, will be obesreved, the extreme liberality with which many of our people gave, when their incomes are considered. In some instances salaried men gave more than some of the business in- stitutions.
