An Excellent, Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Stritp of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colas, headaches and fevers
gently yet. promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without. Weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, lint the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syiicp
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please

HIS EMINENCE
WINS THE DERBY
Winkfield Only Had to Set Still
in the Saddle
HORSE LED ENTIRE DISTANCE
Haye's 8annazarro, With O'Connor
Up, Comes Second, With Dris
coll a Length Away—26,000
People See the Event.
IjOUisvlUe, Ky.. April 29.—Tbe twenty
seventh Kentucky derby has passed into
history, and not one of the 26,000 people
that saw It can say anything except that
It was a race from the time the flag went
down until the good son of Falsetto
paused under the wire a winner In the
good time of *:07%.
It haw been said for weeks that without
the Invincible Garry Herrman the derby
would be an open race, and so It was. but
had the recent acquisition of Captain Sam
Brown been among the colts that were
sent away, it is doubtful If he would have
added to his laurels, for His Eminence
whs fit today to battle against any colt
In the world He won and he deserved to
win. for with long, even strides, he ne
gotiated the distance of a mile and a
quarter like clonic work, and never once
did Winkfield have occasion to resort to
either whip or spur. The track record
whs not broken, but. It if. safe to say that
had It been necessary to have won the
twenty-seventh Kentucky derby. His
Eminence would have been equal to the
effort, and could no doubt have taken off
a fraction from the record of 2:0614, made
by lieutenant Gibson.
The Day Was Perfect. )
Had the day been made to order. It
could not have been more propitious. and
there waa not the slightest thing to mar
the moat successful race In the history of
the Jockey Club The track wns lightning
fast, and not less than 2C.OOO persons saw
His Eminence win the classic event, for j
every place of vantage around the grand- j
stand to which humanity could cling, was j
Utilized. Ill the belting ring there was a j
jostling, surging crowd, and the eighteen
books did a rushing business not only on
the derby, but on all other events Alard
Scheck, by reason of his work-out on Fri
day morning, was a prime favorite, and
when the odds of 7 to 10 were first chalked
up, money came In at such a lively rate
that the books could not handle It. But
after each had gotten his share, the odds
were cut to 3 to 5, and thus remained un
til the colts went to the post. But, after
all the hooks did not quit winner on the
race, for loads of mpney went on His Em
inence at 2'4 to l, and when some more
venturesome bookmakers chalked up 3
against the colt, money came In so lively
that It. was Impossible to handle It.
It was nearly 5 o’clock when the bugle
sounded for the derby. They got away
on the F.ccond br^a.k on comparative!}
even terms with Ills Eminence and Dris
coll having perhaps a neck s advantage
over tho others. Down the stretch they
came toward the grand stand and a
length did not separate the five colts with
His Eminence !n front, Driscoll second.
Alard Scheck, Sannazaxro fourth and
Amur last. Past the stand and around
the lower turn they went with His Kml
nenco still setting the pase. When they
straightened out on the back stretch
Wlnktleld on His Eminence was hugging
file rail still a length In the lead. Alard
Scheck had moved up to second place and
was a half length In front of Amur, who
was about the same distance from
Sannazarro and Driscoll wtio were mov
ing down the bnclc stretch on even terms.
They passed the half in this position and
as they reached the three-quarters pre
paratory to making the final run down
the stretch Jockey Woods loosened his
rein and called on the Schorr entry to
overtake His Eminence, but the Memphis
horse was not equal to It. for little by lit
tle he fell back and as they turned Into
the stretch Sannazarro had moved up into
second place Billowed by Driscoll and
Alard Scheck. the favorite, was left to
I light It out with Amur.
Horse Wildly oncerea.
"HJs Eminence wins." was the Joyous
shout that went up from thousands when
Ihe Falsetto oolt reached the seven
eighths pole, running with long, even
strides and Wlnkfleld sitting In the sad
I die guiding him to victory. Sannnzurro
i made one linul effort, but It was of no
I avail, for Ills Eminence was under the
wire a winner by a full length of day,
with Sannaxarro a half length In front
of Driscoll, Amur fourth und a length
away with Alard Scheck the favorite be
hind three lengths.
There was cheering such as has seldom
been heard at Churchill Downs before,
and as the good son of Falsetto was
ridden Into the circle a handsome blanket
of carnations and smllux was thrown over
the prancing vlbtor.
