Lord Derby's Stedfast was second and Royal Tender third. Twenty-six horses start ed. Sun Star, the winner, Is brown colt by Sundridge, out of Doris.

 Ph Ryxus finished fourth. Harry Payne whitney's All Gold and Louis Winan' s Adam Bede, the only two American horses to start were unplaced. Two lengths separated the Joel colt from Derby's Steadfast at the winning post.

Wave the blue jacket of an umpire in Chattanooga and run the risk of your life.
 An assault on an umpire was never tustifiable. There is absolutely no de- fense for such action.
 The mobbing of an umpire, as rule, is not the sport in which gentlemen take pleasure in indulging. Such work is the part of thugs.
 While Mobile has run Chattanooga a close race for the honor of attaining the reputation of being the Polo grounds of Dixie, it Is quite probable that the laurels will be borne away by the Look outs.
 It is to be regretted that there Is one field in the Southern league where um- pire batting is tolerated. That there are two is exceedingly bad.
 And 1t is strange that the very um- plres against whom the sporting writ CTS of Mobile and Chattanooga inveigh come to Birmingham and escape nothing more serious than a few hoots from bleacherites.
 They make mistakes here, true They make mistakes everywhere.
 But the Birmingham press has never encouraged the fans to leap the fences with dope bottles and other instruments of torture And 1t Is probable that never again will an umpire be chased from field in this city.
 Umpire batting can be brought about by the activity of the press. Any news paper which is read can say several mornings in succession that Umpire Jones Is consistently robbing the home club and should be massacred, and on. the third day, in case the said home club loses as a result of a close decis- ion, the umpire will be massacred. The attack of the press serves as a spark for the gun powder.
 There are umpires and umpires. But there is not one who deserves a mob ping. There Is not one dishonest um- pire in ten thousand. The dishonest um- pire is the only wearer of the blue who

1, is a source of qualification
TO note that the people Of
Denver are waking up to the
tact that the mining industry
should be a paramount indus
try Of the state and that il
should have the first recogni-
ton. Had it not been for the
mining camps there would b.
no Capital Hill nor millionalrs
living there. There would
have been no city of nearly a
quarter of a million inhabit-
ants, but instead perhaps some
military outpost. These peo-
pie who gained their wealth
and position and thus enlarged
on other business affairs
should not forget their origin
nor should their sons and
daughters forget that the
foundation of their wealth and
prosperity was the good, hon
est, poorly clad and half
starved prospector, who per-
hapS had to be grub-staked
while their descendants are
gourmandising on the fat of
land and arrayed in the finest
of textiles. Those hardy
prospectors, many of whom
are living there in ease. should
not despise the past days of
hard times, but should show
the greatest interest in
fostering the mining industry;
their progeny should not for
get that this industry is
what placed them where they
are. The creation of a min
ing bureau in Denver, the
fostering of such matters by
the State Board of lmmlgra-
ton are moves in the pro-
per direction. Keep up the
work.
