Fully two-thirds of the beautiful houses situated near the course were rented by the American circle, which grows remark- ably with each succeeding season. There were as many pretty American women as English ones in the royal enclosure on Tuesday.

Mors in the recent Paris-Madrid race, had been pro- posed for membership in the Automobile club of France it was immediately sur- mised that he would supplant Henry Fournier in the international cup race in Ireland next month. This was confirmed yesterday by M. Fournier himself. Al- though he naturally feels hurt, he believes that the Mors firm, being anxious to re- capture the cup, has acted according to its best judgment. Henry Farman, from whom great things are expected in the coming race, says it will be his last road race on an automobile. His brother has already retired from racing. The Paris press this week has been full of reports that W. K. Vanderbilt, jr., had purchased for 315000 the machine with which Louls Renault arrived first at Bor- deaux In the Paris-Madrid contest. The World correspondent interviewed today W. T. Dannant, a widely known artist, who satd: “I am ths sole possessor of Louls Renauit's machine, which I bought im- mediately after the race.

GRASSHOPPERS IN MONTANA Among in compliance with It is understood or the | threatened for New Kaga Ta- Ramses, from San Paul, for f w or The race was over and a Kentucky horse had won. Claude was easily the best of the other starters. He came fast in the stretch, but little Johnny Daly saw he had no chance to catch The Picket and also eased up, but almost too soon, as Bernays came on | grandly from the center of the fleld and hitched up In a drive with Savable for the shortest end of the purse. Bernays got it by a neck. Judge Himes, the horse that had jumped {into popularity and was heavily backed | within a week, fafled to make a showing. The fast track was against him. He rap- idly went to last position after the start and stayed there. He was forty lengths behind when The Picket reached the wire. The Picket is a bay colt, by Falsetto- Voltario. He was bred by his owners, Mid- dleton & Jungbluth, at Loutaville. He ran last year, but never won, and consequently carried the light burden of 115 pounds. The | Plcket was regarded as a dangerous can- didate. Last Tuesday he was worked over the Harlem track in preparation for the Derby in almost record time. He covered the mile and & haif in 2:3. The time was | 50 fast that many people doubted the truth of the reported workout. Track Betting fs L The betting at the track was the lightest |in years. The bookmakers wrote as many | tickets as usual, but the amounts were small, as all the big bettors laid their money In the future books. The Picket opened at § to 1 and advanced to 10 to 1 before post time. Claude ad- vanced from 6 to 7 to 1. Bernays rematned stationary at 8 to 1, while Savable went from 6 to 2 to 8 to 1. Fore and Aft, the Tennessee horse, Was perhaps the best played of any on the fleld. The largest bet won was by Joe Yeager, who had a ticket calling for $15,000 to $30. He made the bet three months ago. Chicago did its best for the big race. The Derby is made the occasion for the greatest outdoor display of fashion every season, and this year fairly outdid all pre- vious Derbles. The grand stand, enlarged for the occasion, was packed to the roof. The infleld was almost completely covered by hundreds of fashionable turnouts. Au- tomobiles were not permitted within the track enclosure, but were cared for oppo- site the main entrance. It took ten acres of ground to accommodate them. The weather was perfect The day opened dismally with a drizzle, but the | sun came out before the races began and a | conl breeze made the great crowd com- | fortable.
