Race Track in This Country Disgusted Dis-gusted at the Outrageous Delay in Starting the Horses ASHINGTON PARK June 24 The Tenth American derby is over and like S Jt LfrFt a majority of L L great races this S 1 year it brought = woe to the betting S bet-ting public and joy to the bookmakers The largest crowd ever gathered on a race track saw Boundless win in a canter The race run was for one of the heaviest purses ever hung up and the record of the American derby lowered The horses were started after tho most outrageous and vexatious delay at the post ever seen on the running turf turtI an ideal day and the track in perfect condition There was nothing to prevent the race being run strictly on its merits and the best horse carried off the prize whether Boundless could win over such a field again when a prompt start was made is another matter but he won today and won honestly The grand stand betting ring clubhouse club-house and lawns swarmed with 75000 people Carriages fourinhands and other conveyances by the hundreds wfera packed inside the track Before the race started however several thousand left the ground tired of waiting The worst of it was that there was no excuse for the delay at the post At 420 the horses broke to a beautiful start but they were called back and kept at the post seventy minutes till some of them were in no condition to do as well a they might have otherwise done Boundless though not the favorite was with his stable companion Lookout well backed and his victory is by no means unpopular Don Alonzo who carried a mint of money was never in the race at any stage The amount of money that changed hands at the track upon the race was fully 800000 Ife was the heaviest heav-iest betting day Chicago has ever known and the bookmakers kept the most of the wagers Little interest centered in the races preceding pre-ceding the derby Some of the candidates candi-dates for the great race wont past the grand stand at the close of the second race but attracted little attention as they were not generally recognized A short time before the derby was to start Monk Overton was arrested at the instance of Ed Corrigan who claimed that the colored boy was under contract to ride for him in the derby The arrest created considerable comment and another an-other jockey was secured for Ramapo The paddock bell rang at 405 and alew minutes later the bugle called the horses out for dress parade Ingomar appeared first and received a joyous welcome Chorister Chor-ister and St Leonard followed and then came Clifford Don Alonzo Boundless fighting for the lead and Lookout All were cheered uproariously and others followed fol-lowed in rapid succession By 420 the field was at the post and a succession of false starts was made and it was nearly 6 oclock when the flag dropped Even then the start was not a good one St Croix andlChorister had a slight advantage I ad-vantage but Don Alonzos nose was nearby near-by and Ingomar was at his girth A length away and half a length apart came Plutus Aldabaran Clifford Lookout and G W Johnson while the rear was fetched up by Ramapo Boundless St Leonard Oporto Tyro and Strathrose At least ten lengths separated the leader from the last horse but the crowd was well pleased Young Ray on Plutus and Miller on Aldebaran drew whips at once and sent their mounts to the front In the meantime mean-time the backers of Don Alonzo were horrified hor-rified to see him disappearing in the rear although Lamley was plainly at work At the threequarter pole Plutus had his head in front with Aldebaran moving easily by his side followed a length away by St Croix and Ingomar Then came Johnson Lookout and Clifford the others oth-ers following as before As the horses rushed down towards the stand Lookout moved out of the bunch and took first place t Aldebaran second a length and a half ahead of Piutus Behind Be-hind him came St Croix Johnson Clifford ford Ingomar and Boundless In the run from the grand stand to the quarter pole St Leonard pulled up to third place threequarter length from Lookout and Aldebaran amid frantic cheers from the backers of TarPs mount But the crowd failed to notice that Boundless followed by St Leonard was in advance and at two lengths distance Ingomar Chorister and Johnson separated Boundless Bound-less from St Leonard ft LoDlrdo Going along to the bal boundless was hindered considerably and Garrison kept his mount back to avoid being pocketed In the meantime Lookout dropped out and Aldebaran was leading At the end I of tho first mile St Leonard was at his girth with Ingomar a length away and Chorister and Clifford next But suddenly sud-denly Garrison saw an opening and shot Boundless forward Martin drew his whip and sent Clifford after him and the great struggle was on in earnest Taral saw them coming and drew ahead of Aldebaran The order as they swung into the stretch was St Leonard Clifford Aldebaran Boundless Ingomar Chorister and St Croix Down the course they came amid mad cries from the grand stand and at the sixteenth from home Boundless passed St Leonard and Clifford as though they were standing still The crowd was breathless with surprise for a brief mo ment and then the cheers for Boundless broke into pandemonium Boundless went under the wire at least six lengths ahead with plenty of run left in 236 while St Leonard beat Clifford three lengths for place Aldebaran was fourth four lengths away Chorister fifth Johnson sixth Ingomar seventh Tyro eighth St Croix ninth PJutus tenth Ramapo eleventh Don Alonzo twelfth Lookout thirteenth Oporto fourteenth and Strathrose last There was nothing stingy in the applause which greeted Boundless Bound-less The vast concourse stood up and shouted for five minutes Even Washington park officials smiled almost audibly at tho realization that the rich prize wari to stay in the west Jim Cushing owner of Boundless rushed up and threw his arms about the animals neck He was invited into the judges stand and given a 50000 check He waved the paper to the crowd his face being the very picture of uncoutrolable joy and the crowd cheered back as though it had an interest in the stake
