King George. Queen Mary and
large assembly Of royalties were Wit
nesscs OF those exciting Incidents
which caused something like coRster-
nation among the immense crowds
While interest In the classic was
at It's most tense point, just as the
fifteen horses were turning Tatten-
ham corner into the stretch, woman
rushed ont OF the dense crowd and
threw herself In front of Anmer and
another horse, Agadlr. She apparent
ly hoped to interfere with the pro-
gress Of the race by SELLING Anmers
rcins and placing not only herself,
but the two jockeys In danger.

safety. but the woman managed 20
cling to Anmer'a relns and brought
down both horse and rider.
Jones, tho kings jockey, received
injuries necesstnting his removal In
m ambulance while the woman was
thrown under Anmer's hoofs and ter
rlbly kicked. She was taken uncon-
scious 10 a hospital, suffering from
severe injuries to her head. Suffra-
gettc papers are said to have been
found in her possession and suffra-
gette flag was bound round her body.
Jones. the jockey, suffered from a
nasty cut on the head. but. his iujur-
les otherwise were not serious.
Meanwhile the race had ended in n
close and exciting finish With Craga-
nour, the favorite. first past the post.
Thrn IT became known that an OBJ
lection hud been raised and after
many minutes Of suspense II was an
nonnced that Craganour had been
disqualified for humping in tho
stretch and that the race had been
awarded to the outsider Aboyour
II was stated that the owner of
Aboyour had raised no objection to
the winner. but that the stewards Of
the jockey club had initiated an in
qury.
II Is almost unheard OF for an OBJ
lection "a be raised to the winner Of
the derby The last occasion was in
1S44. The stewards decision brought
about an extraordinary contrast TO
the scenes Of enthusiasm which had
followed the putting up Of Craganour's
number.
The stewards stated tonight that
they did not disquallfy craganour
simply for humping. but because they
were satisfied that Johnnie Rieff, his
Jockey had unduly lnterfcred with
other horses throughout greater
part Of the race.
Il is said by experts that there was
n remarkable amount Of unfair, If
not foul. riding, and this yenr's derby
Ia regarded as one Of the most un-
satisfactory in the history Of the
event
All previous suffragette demon
atrntions were thrown into the shade
by the sensation caused By Emely
Wilding Davison's reckless feat in
throwing herself In front Of the
Kings horse while coming down the
track al fun stride. Comparatively
few Of the 10000 spectators intent
on watching the leaders Of the race
saw the affair which Is likely to end
in the first fatality Of the militant
campaign.
Those nearest the Tattenham cor
ner had glimpse Of woman dart
ing directly in front Of two galloping
horses. She ducked almost under
Agadir's neck to reach Anmer Some
say she waved her arms to stop the
horse others that she seized the reins.
According to some Anmcr's shoulders

others, the woman tainted Just as
tho horse was upon her
Jockey Jones was stunned by the
fan ana did not know what stopped
him. lie could not even recollect
that he saw a woman.
There was a scream and the kings
horse plunged over, landing on the
ridor The crowd quickly surrounded
them and then ambulanees arrived.
Miss Dawson was picked mp. card
