ed past the stand and
clubhouse and, turning, galloped to the starting point, where Jake Holtman
was ready to send them away. The field got away quickly to a good start.
Wintergreen and Miami came together as the barrier went up, but the son of
Dick Welles was not to be denied and he at once went to the front and
there he stayed. Coming past the stand, he had a clear lead, with Miami
next and Dr. Barkley and Friend Harry close up. Sir Catesby was on the
inside and was apparently trying to run over horses. Going up the back
stretch Powers took a nice hold on Wintergreen and the great colt just
skimmed along pricking his ears. Friend Harry made a determined effort
passing the half-mile post, but it was just a flash in the pan, for
scarcely had the cry "Friend Harry is catching him" rung out before the
crowd was yelling Friend Harry is beaten, as the Alvey colt's stride
shortened. Miami, which had clung tenaciously to second place, also under
restraint, was now sent after the flying pacemaker with a will. But
Shilling could not rally his mount and the farther the field went the
easier was Wintergreen's task. Nearing the eighth pole Powers got a little
uneasy and gave Wintergreen one good crack with the whip and he bounded
away like the others were standing still. Miami was just as easily second
and Dr. Barkley just managed to beat out Sir Catesby, the latter coming
through the worst going. The rest were pretty well scattered.

DESCRIPTION OF RACE

An enormous crowd gathered from all points of the compass saw and cheered
the victory of the bay colt Donau in the thirty-sixth running of the
Kentucky Derby, now truly the "Blue Riband" of the American turf, at
Churchill Downs this afternoon. It was the largest crowd that ever graced
this historic battle ground of the thoroughbreds and t
