Congratulate you in winning Derby

It appears that Mr.. Duryea won the
classic of the turf world with horse
not eligible for registration in the English
Stud Book and with a horse which barely
escaped being barred on the French
tracks
Armenia was shipped to France just be-
fore the edict was passed against Ameri-

Durbar II is by Radicals. a French
stallion, and Armenia. she by Meddler. an
English horse, which stood here for a
number of years Armenia's first dam
was Auranla, by Hanover, and her sec
ond dam Wanda, good race mare in her
day, by Mortimer. She has one OF the
shortest American pedigrees. but proved
a matron capable OF throwing Derby

Mr. Duryea Joined the New York Yacht
Club on March 26, 1901, and has been
identified with yachting. especially the
racing end OF it, for many years. He has
ALWAYS been regarded as a clever amateur

yachts built by Herreshoff.

DRIVES AT RATE OF
100 MILES AN HOUR
Beill0t Lowers Record of
Motor Speedway-Haupt
Has Close Call.

fBy Telegraph TO The Tribunel
Indianapolis. May T-George Beillot. at
the wheel of his French car, established
new American record for "a miles at
the indianapolis Motor Speedway this
afternoon. Throwing caution, love Of life
TO the winds. and the throttle OF his
roaring. fame-beIching monster wide
open he tore around the course in 1
minute 3o.l3 seconds. This is at a rate
slightly less than 100 miles an hour.
There are many who now believe that
Belllot stands more than an even chance
of beating the intrepid Jules Goux. win
ner Of last years race, who only yes
terday smashed the record for the course
by going around In 1911.
Goux. team mate of Beillot, was in
the judges stand when the time was an
nounced. and he cheered quite as en-
Enthusiastically as any of the crowd, which
fairly filled the grandstand He was one
OF the first to reach the side of Beillot
when he returned to the stand, and con-
graduated him warmly
But the only thrills were not in the
smashing OF records Willie Haupt, the
American, driving an American car, had
narrow escape from death In making
his trial early in the day he blew
out tire In rounding the north
turn. The car skidded. turned half way
around and then leaped for the fence
The barrier was torn away like paper
and the machine ploughed through the
field for some distance.
Haupt was uninjured, as the car was
not damaged. Haupt announced that
he would make another trial later in the
afternoon.
The last of the elimination trials were
held to-day. The track will be open for
practice Tomorrow but will be closed on
Friday when it will be cleaned of oil.
Fair skies and mild west wind have
been promised by the weather man for
race day. Already the city is taking on
holiday attire. Every train from all Sec
lions Of the country discharges its quota
OF speed enthusiasts. all eager to witness
the greatest race of its kind in this coun-
try.
Roberts driving specially built car
won that peculiar distinction that comes
of having driven the slowest of all trials
for the race. He made the circuit in
2:0l:i. and was cheered wildly by the
satirical crowd. lie was asked where he
stopped for the drink. Pullen made his
third trial this afternoon without his
mechanician. but A. r. Pardington, the
referee, refused to allow the test to stand.
Pulen then made a trial with his me-
chanic in 1854. Car No. SO, which Price
was TO have driven, was withdrawn to-
day and Price will pilot car No. q.
Among others who drove in the trials
to-day were Guyot. in a French car,
1903; Chassagne, in an English car,
1:il 81; Mason, in car No. 49, number of
his own choosing, l:43:22; Frederick, in a

Dennis dropped the Nanitie's second
anchor and her crew made everything

When il came she swung around and took
it head on with no strain to speak of.
Captain Selah b. Howell Of the Defiance

squat in safety. George VI. Pynchon. her
managing owner, was on board. They
had intended to go out for trial spin
yesterday, but there was no wind all day
until the squall came, and the Sound was
as smooth as a millpond.
Captain Dennis was much disappointed
at not being able to take the Vanitie out
for a spin. She will surely sail to-day If
there is a breeze
The Vanitie and the Defiance are both
to be hauled out at Jacobs Yard. City
Island. on Saturday to have their hulls
cleaned and put in condition for the first
race of the series to be sailed on Tuesday,
starting off Great Captains Island.
The Resolute leaves Bristol for Glen
Cove on Saturday with her tender, the
Cape Cod. 1t is said that the changing OF
her mast further forward, giving her
single instead of double head-rig. has
gained for her an allowance of two addi-
tionaI seconds a mile. or about five min
utes In a 30-mile race. She had several
hours sailing practice in the ocean yes
terday.
The New York Yacht Club has assigned
these numbers 10 the three yachts: The
Defiance is III. the Resolute III and
the Vanitle HIS. These numbers will be
sewn on each side Of the mainsail Of each
yacht.

quoted at 80 TO and Peter the Hermit ct
100 to l.
Thirty horses went TO the post, the
largest field since 1853. as since the
scratching of The Tetrarch the race
looked decidedly open. Kennymore was a
hot favorite at post time. but never fat

MCGEE. an American jockey, had the
mount on Durbar II. and after the race
said:

ly, and he's a good one. / felt pretty
proud when Mr.. Duryea said to me on
oismountng. Good boy! and when Sir
John Thursby, owner of Kennymore, the
beaten favorite, congratulated me-"
Kennymore behaved badly at the post
and delayed the start. When the flag fell
he was off poorly and practically left.
Polycrates made the early running,
with Black Jester. Hapsburg. Dan Rus

through on the rail- took up the running
and held command TO the finish. easily

The time Of the race was minutes Ss

than the average for the course of about
one mile and half.
The Derby was established in 1850. but
races had been run on the same course
as early as 1910. Its value to-day was
1880.
Mr.. Duryea is said TO have had a wager
on his colt at 25 to /, while a number of
Americans present took "a flyer.

course, while King George and Queen
