the back
stretch, and here Ram's Horn runs his race. With whip and spur and with
his knees digging into the satiny sides of Ram's Horn, Jockey Lyne asked
the question of the son of Bute. Instantly the game colt responds, and
before the half-mile pole is reached Ram's Horn has cut the lead down to
one length and his nose is very close to Agile's tail.

The positions do not change for a quarter of a mile. Then the favorite
gradually begins to move away from Rams Horn in spite of the vigorous
efforts of Lyne. But its no use--the track is muddy and sticky and
slippery, and this son of one of the best stallions any American ever
brought to this country from England is unused to the going and does not
like it. And so they turn into the home stretch, with Agile two lengths in
front and galloping with his mouth wide open, while Ram's Horn is laboring
many lengths in front of Layson.

The shouting and the tumult die and Martin, realizing that his victory is
now assured, eases his mount to an ordinary gallop, while Lyne, on Ram's
Horn, also refuses to drive Jim Williams' colt, because he knows the case
is hopeless. They pass under the wire in a straggling procession, with
little excitement or applause. The time, 2:10-1/2, shows the condition of
the track.

DESCRIPTION OF RACE.

Sir Huon, carrying the colors of George J. Long, one of the most popular
breeders of Kentucky, won the thirty-second Kentucky Derby, at Churchill
Downs on May 2, before one of the most representative gatherings that ever
witnessed this classic event.

Guided by Roscoe Troxler, he crossed the finishing line two lengths in
front of the gallant little filly, Lady Navarre, which beat her stable
companion, James Reddick, by three lengths. Five lengths behind came
Hyperion II, which had set a heartbreaking pace, and a dozen lengths
behind the latt
