Within the shadow of the wire, Judge Himes snatched from Early the
twenty-ninth Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs to-day. It may have been
the over confidence of Winkfield that lost to the favorite the blue ribbon
event of the Blue Grass State. Bourbon, six lengths off, was third, while
Bad News, Woodlake and Treacy finished in the order named. It was a Derby
run and won not by the touted, odds-on favorite, but by the much despised
outsider, but be it said to the credit of colt and jockey, he was well
piloted and when Judge Himes passed under the wire winner of the classic
event, it was to the plaudits of all Kentucky. The victory was a surprise
even to Mr. Ellison who had not thought his colt good enough to win.

A Kentucky Derby always marks an epoch in Kentucky history; time and
incidents are reckoned from one Derby to the next, and the event of to-day
was characteristic, for there was the same surging, jostling, mass of
humanity, crowding stands and paddock and overflowing to the field.
Eighteen thousand people were in attendance.

It was an exciting finish. Early, with a length and a half to the good,
was ridden down the stretch as though the race had already been won, when
within the last sixteenth H. Booker brought up Judge Himes and in a
merciless finish Early who had lost his stride by the overconfident
Winkfield, was beaten three-quarters of a length by the practically
neglected colt. The day was perfect. From the South drifted an
invigorating breeze, bearing the fragrance of sprouting foliage on the
nearby hills, of which the green slopes of Sugar Loaf and Iroquois
afforded a delightful rest to the eyes bewildered by a maze of gorgeous
costumes and myriads of beautiful faces, banked tier upon tier in the
grand stand and club house terrace and representing the fairest of
Kentucky's womanhood.

The track was fast. The six colts were not kept long at the post, and
after some ten minutes consumed in getting them in line, the flag went
down and the Derby was on. When Starter Holtman gave the word the colts
were almost at the fretful line and the jockeys found Woodlake of the
McDowell entry hugging the inside rail with the others
