Twenty-eighth Kentucky Derby
Witnessed by Thousands
ADMISSION WASINCREASED
There Was the Same Jostling, Surging
and Sweltering Mass of Human
ity That Always Attended
the Classic Race.
Louisville, Ky., May 3.—To the lusty
cheers of thousands. Alan-a-Dale, the
good son of Halma, the latter himself
winner of the 1895 derby, this afternoon
passed under the wire winner of the
twenty-eighth Kentucky Derby. Almost
since the day thyt Daniel Boone first
penetrated the primeval forests of Ken
tucky, citizens have attended in outpour
ings to witness the derby. This event was
one of today’s attractions. Regardless
of the fact that the directors of the new
Louisville Jockey Club, by reason of the
augmented expenditures, had found it nec
essary to increase the admission for the
opening day, there was the same jostling,
surging and sweltering mass of humanity
that is always present on this annual oc
casion at the historic old course. The so
ciety, not only of Louisville, but of the
entire state, was represented and lovely
women graced the boxes and almost
every section of the stand. Governor
Beckham and his staff were %in attend
ance as were other public officials from
adjoining states.
For the derby the bookmakers were
kept busy for a half hour taking In the
bills almost shoved at them, for none
of the colts lacked for friends. Abe
Frank, the much-heralded winter favor
ite, was the choice in the betting at 3 to
5. The McDowell entry was 3 to 2, while
Inventor figured at 10 to win and better,
considerable money going on him at 2%
for place and even to show. After several
attempts to start, spoiled by Abe Frank,
who was a little over-anxious, they were
sent away on comparatively even terms
with Allan-a-Dale a neck in front of Abo
Frank, The Rival third and Inventor
last.
Down the stretch they came to the
stand. Alan-a-Dale was on the outside
when the red bunting went down
Winkfleld, at a 45 degree angle and with
a burst of speed, shot to the rail and
there he stuck. At the stand he was a
length In front with Abe FTank still sec
ond The Rival third and Inventor last,
but all were up and running, under a
Pvrong pull. Around the lower turn they
shot with the chestnut son of Halma still
showing the way. “Alan will win, he will
make a runaway of it.’’ yelled an admirer
and true to the prediction the gap was
gradually lengthened down the back
stretch up til Winkfleld nad a half dozen
lengths of daylight between his mount
and Abe Frank, the favorite, The Rival
still being third and Inventor fourth.
And thus their positions remained, as ap
parently unchanged, as the hobby horses
that make the circle on the wooden plat
form. until they rounded the last turn for
the final run into the stretch. Coburn
saw his time had come and ho went to
work on the favorite, but Abe did not
have the run in him. for although he clos
ed a few lengths of the gap, the Hanover
colt found trouble In the rear, for Inven
tor was coming strong and had displaced
The Rival, w'hllo both were making rapid
inroads upon Abe Frank's lead. Xow the
stretch l\ad been reached and thousands
of eager eyes were turned upon the four
colts In the struggle, final and brief as it
was. Many a disappointed look fell upon
the favorite as Abe showed signs of dis
tress, for he w'as certainly a beaten colt.
The race was now between the McDowell
entry and Inventor, the latter showing
a burst of speed at the finish, that for
a time set mod to threaten Alan-a-Dale,
In* little Winkfleld without whip or spur
sent him under the wire winner by a
length with his stable companion fighting
for second place and only a neck behind
Inventor, .Abe Frank being a half dozen
lengths rwuy. All the colts were badly
tired but it was a great race and the best
colt won for Alan-a-Dale was In prime
condition and fit for the race of his life.
Cheer after cheer greeted colt and jock
ey as Winkfleld rode into the circle and
the collar of American beauties was plac
ed around the winner's neck.
The track was in good condition though
not fast. Sensational finishes, with an
even break for the favorites, character
ized the day’s programme.

Arsenal Wins Metropolitan.
New York. May 3.—Out of a field of
twenty horses at the end of the first
eighth of a mile of the Metropolitan han
dicap at Morris Park today, raced Ar
senal. son of the famous sprinter Lamp
Lighter, to a lead which he held to tho
wire and victory with its reward of 18970.
He was desperately pressed by Herbert.
Carbuncle, Chltton and Smoke, and fin
ished under whip and spur, vigorously
placed by Johnny Daly, with scarce
strength enough to have gone another
dozen leaps at the killing pace of the
race. It was a sterling race, fairly started
add gamely contested for every Inch of
the mile, and spectacularly finished.
Twenty to one was laid against Arsenal,
and his splendid victory was a popular
one. A drizzling rain had fallen at In
tervals during the day, which mads the
track heavy and caused many scratches.
Water Color, the early morning favorite,
was withdrawn, as were Heno, Far
Rockaway, Whisky King, Old England,
Saturday and Smart Set. Fully 30,000 per
sons were on the oourse when the handi
cap horses were called to the poBt.
Bonnlbert and Colonel Padden, Frank
Farrell’s pair, were the favorites at 4
to 1. Herbert was second choice at 5 to
1, and Roe Hampton was third oholce at
6 to 1. The others varied from 10 to 160 to
1. The price of Carbuncle, who ran third,
was 20 to 1. There was a heavy play, but
betting on Arsenal, the winner, was
rather light. Less than five minutes after

What is becoming to one woman is often un

they came to the post the horses were
off to a fair start.
Kamara was the first away with His
Eminence second, Smoke third, and the
others close up. Before the first eighth
had been covered Arsenal had bounded
forward Into the front rank and at the
post he was leading with a gap of a
length and a half behind him. Down the
back stretch Smoke and Relna worked up
and claimed second and third places re
spectively. Arsenal continued to make
the pace, although Smoke, with a spurt,
cut down some of the apace that separ
ated them. The positions of the leaders
were maintained to the first turn and be
yond it toward the second. At the turn
into the stretch Odow, on Herbert, began
to mnke his ride that finally landed him
in second place with a chance for first.
Under pressure Herbert worked up from
seventh place, passing Carbunole and
Smoke. Smoke failed in the Btretch and
Carbuncle passed her. Arsenal wavered
fifty yards from the wire and up in the
stand fifty voices cried: “It’s Herbert,”
but Arsenal Bteadled himself under Daly's
riding and had Herbert beaten by half
a length when they raced under the
wire. Carbuncle was close behind with
Smoke on his side and Chilton Just be
hind. Bonnibert and (Jol. Madden, the
favorites, were tenth and eleventh re
spectively.

OLDEST LIVING THING..
From the New York Evening Journal.
The oldeBt living thing now on earth Is
the big tree of California.
The sequoias, the family to which the
big trees belong, flourished away back
In the Miocene period, before the Ice
Age. Then they covered vast areas both
In Europe and America, but now they are
restricted to a narrow strip In California.
There are ten groves of big trees. That
In Southern Placer County has only six.
The Calaveras, the Stanislaus, the Tuo
lurane, the Fresno and the Dinky groves
contain a few hundred each. There are
tracts of some thousands on Kings and
K| ah and Tula rivers. Scarcely five
hummed of the survivors are giants.
Some of the taller trees tower above
three hundred feet In height and are
jhlrty feet through.
John Muir says that, barring accidents,
the big tree Is “practically Immortal.”
Their age has not been exactly determin
ed, but Mr. Muir mentions one, felled by
the lumbermen, whoee rings proved that
It had seen twenty-two hundred year*
and it is estimated that the largest *1111
standing were three thousand years old
at the beginning of the Christian era.
Richard T. Fisher, writing In The
World’s Work, and deriving his informa
tion from the United Sthtes Bureau of
Forestry, states that by far the greater
number of big trees is held In private
ownership, usually by lumber companies.
Only one grove is thouroughly secure,
the Mariposa, which is owned and pro
tected by the State of California. The
rest are sure soon to be converted into
lumber unless they shall become govern
ment property.
The big trees, pleads Mr. Fisher, are
the oldest of living things, the largest
and among the rarest, majestically form
ed and surrounder, and famed besides
for their geologic past. As international
wonders they could be scarcely rivalled.
Surely these, of all trees, may fairly
claim the protection of science as well
as sentiment.
It should be the special business of Cal
ifornia’s senators and representatives to
interest Congress in these marvels now
threatened with the axe, and obtain an
appropriation that shall make them na
tional property. Public money could
hardly be better spent.
First Step In Village Improvement.
Sylvester Baxter In the Century.
First in order in activities of this kind
comes cleanliness. Clean streets and pub
lic places, clean private premises—with
these secured, the first great transforma
tion in the community takes place. When
nuisance-breeding rubbish heaps are
cleared away, and vacant lots covered
with all sorts of litter are cleaned up,
everybody notes the Improvement and is
interested In seeing It maintained. Order
liness, of course, goes hand In hand
with cleanliness. The latter dannot be
secured without good order. And with
good order there is an aspect of neatness
that commands popular respect. It
pleases the public eye. Nearly everybody
will desist from throwing rubbish Into a
well-kept place, and from scattering
paper, or other litter In a clean street.
Public sentiment is easily cultivated in
fovor of public cleanliness and order. A
notable Instance of its growth is to be
found in the agitation against spitting
in public places, since it was determined
that the practice was a danger to public
health! The posting of notices with regu
lations against It. and the frequent dis
cussion of the subject In the press, have
made a strong impression upon public
sentiment, and in consequence the offense
is not practiced to anything like the same
extent In communities where there has
been such ugitation.
