Few in the surging, cheering throng had backed the comparatively friendless animal to capture the rich stake from the horses bf the Eastern and West- that the grand filly Modesty took the first American Derby has the tumultuous cheering—the genuine ovation _given to horse and rider—been equaled in this State. Jockey Bullman, the Californian, to whom fell the honor of taking two Der- bies in succession, was swept into a human maelstrom after he had dismount- | ed and verified his weight. He was boost- | ed upon the shotlgers of men and a detail of bluecoats had ’to be called to clear the | admiring, cheering throngs from the course. As for the earnest plebeian rac- ing tool, Robert Waddell, he refused to permit the attendants to tie upon his back the gigantic floral saddle that the club had provided for the winner. Terminus, Willlam T. Shaffer's Blazes colt, was a good second, while the favor- R. T. Wilson Jr.’'s grand looking Longstreet colt The Parader was a tired third. Frank Farrell’'s Bonnibert, which shared with The Parader at one time the honors of favoritism, failed to run his race and was fourth. His Eminence, pur- | chased for $20,000 by Clarence Mackay and groomed for a victory in the classic, had a bad start, but under Jockey Odom’s ter- rific riding at the end landed in fifth posi- tion. Sanazarro, Six Shooter, Beau Gal- lant, Silverdale and Sadie S finished in the order named behind His Eminence. Bullman’s Services Go Begging. That it was a truly run race was the| opinion of every unprejudiced spectator. The Parader, fast as the wind in the Der- by workout that induced his owner to ship bim from New York to the Washington Park track at the eleventh hour, was sev- enth away at the drop of Starter Dwyer's | red flag, after the field had made one false break. Piggott had orders to make a kill- ing pace. He at once took the favorite to | the front and there The Parader remained until the stretch was reached. Piggott is | a stronger rider, but he did not figure upon all of the problems that were known to Jockey John Buliman, who rated his mount into second place and kept Robert Waddell within striking distance until the head of the stretch. Bullman had been the most disconsolate person on the big track an hour and a half before the Derby was run. Then it seemed to him that he would have no mount in the race, although last year, on Sidney Lucas, he had won the race. En- gaged to ride Bonnibert, and displaced | when the Eastern owner obtained the ser- | vices of Jockey Nash Turner from Wil- liam C. Whitney, Bullman was discour- aged. Early in the day J. W. Schorr, owner of Lady Schorr, engaged him to pilot the filly fn the mile and a half event. ut the veterinarian declared against the starting of this speedy daughter of Ksher, d once more Builman was “in the cold.” riends who knew his riding ability work- €d hard to obtain a mount for him. Virginia Bradley was undecided between van Dusen and See for the mount on his entry. He had heard from the pooiroom men that Bullman might not try to win. This decided the quaint Southerner. Call- ing Bullman an hour before the bugle summoned the animals to the post, he offered $2000 if he would win'with Robert Waddell. Bullman was fixed at last, T'rank Farrell told him that he could not straighten the Bonribert tangle and ten- dered the jockey $00 for his humiliation. With_this Toll of bills in his jockey boot ané Virginia Bradley’s promise of twice as much monev as “Jim"” Cushing had given the famous “‘Snapper” Garrison for piloting Boundless, winner of the $50,000 Werld’s Fair Derby, Bullman’s friends said he could aot lose the race. Bet#ing Is Lively. There were fifty-seven bookmakers at the track and they did a big business on all of the races, without interference by the authorities. Bullman's presence on Bradley's gelding caused considerable piking on the 12 to 1 shot, but the bulk of the public speculation was on the more fashionable animals. The Parader held firm at 3 to 1; Bonnibert opened at 31 to 1 and receded a half point. Beau Gallant was backed at 6 to 1. Boundless and Rey del Santa Anita had had the honors for speed in the American Derby with 2:36 to their credit.

The First Brigade has gone, and the camp ground it oc- cupied is clean as a barn floor. Troop A of the cavalry left last night at 12 o’clock and the signal corps of San Francisco started this morning at 7. The Saliras troop of cavalry left at noon to- day, and the Los Angeles troop and the Los Angeles signal corps went just be- fore the First Brigade. To-morrow the remainder of the troops will break camp. The flag will be raised as usual in the morning, but at half past 7 o’clock or soon after a guard from the regiment still in camp will be formed on the color line and the flag will be lowered with the national salute of twenty-one guns and the banus playing. The Sixth Regiment struck tents last evening and the men slept under their shelter canvases. The Sixth is scheduled to go away to-MOITOW mOrning, so every- thing possible in the way of preparation was done to-night. The men found time for a right merry evening, however, for the camp was gay with laughter and songs and cheers for favorite officers and men. Now and then a man would suddenly shoot into the alr, high over the white tents, for the blanket was out and tne victims tossed weie many. / The Second will follow the Sixth, with its cavalry troop and signal corps, and the two regiments of the Second Brisaue will then prepare for flight. The kiich will go first, dropping its companies as it goes morthward. ‘rhen the First wiil leave. Last of all will go General Dick- inson and the division staff. Bugles Sound an Alarm. Last night after taps the buglers of Troop A. startled the camp with ‘‘Boots and saddles,” but the Sixth Regiment was the only one to come to arms. A battaiion was thrown out In open order along the brush back of the regimental camp and along the ravine on the other side, while a double picket line was thrown acruss the ridge above and below the camp. The other battalions formed in the company streets to await developments, for the Sixth was not going to be taken in any night attack. The situation was explain- ed, however,"and the regiment retired. The Seventh Infantry was ready to strike tents at 11 o’clock. Tent ropes had all been cast loose and mer "swod _by every guy waiting the “general,” which is the signal to drop all tents. The call came at 11 o'clock sharp, and before it had died away the canvas collapsed and fluttered — - however, as was proved by the hospital records. Two men were taken in during the day, each more or less seriously wounded. One of these was Owen Dona- hug of Company H, Fifth Infantry, of Napa, who was shot in the right breast. The muzzle of the rifle was close to his breast at the time and the wound was as much from the blast of the discharge as from the wad. A hole was blown in the man’s side just outside of the chest cav- ity, and it may affect the use of his arm. The other case was that of Milton E. For- syth of Sacramento, a private in the Sec- ond Infantry, whose face was badly pow=- der-burned by the discharge of a gun. The firing drill of thé brigades partook = NATIONAL GUARDSMEN PACKING CAMP EQUIPAGE AT THE LAVEA- GA HEIGHTS, NEAR SANTA CRUZ, AND PREPARING TO DEPART AFTER A WEEK SPENT IN ARDUOUS FIELD SERVICE. i | B = to the ground, leaving not a thing stand- ing but the regimental colors and the brigade guidon before headquarters. At once the men rolled up the tents and bound the tent poles together, while the quartermaster went up and down the rows, checked them up and saw them loaded into the wagons which had ar- rived to haul them away. Before 2 o’clock everything was ready, and at that time, with band playing and colors flying, and eheered by the soldiers whom they left behind, the brigade left the camp on its way home. The Battle of the Ridges. During the morning the Second and Third Brigades were taken out on the pa- rade ground to be put through the firings, and for two hours the rattle of musketry played a tattoo for the camp. It was a good drill in all the firings, but it had more behind it than the mere use the rifle. Very few blank cartridges had %een used in camp, and as a consequence there were many left that would help to make the last night exciting. But when the men returned from the drill blanks were scarce in camp. They had shot practically all of them away. There were a few left, of the nature of a sham battle in which the regiments stormed the hill and de- fended it, advanced and retreated and went_through the battle formations, fill- ing the air with powder smoke. They were at it for the three hours of the drill time and returned to camp tired and jubilant over having captured every ridge and ra- vine of the opposing side. ‘Willlam Champion, Company I, Second Infantry, of Grass Valley, was taken to the hospital to-day to have a bayonet wound in the thigh dressed. There had been. some rough play in the compan: street and Champion came out of it wit half an inch of bayonet in his flesh. Major Rablee, regimental surgeon of the Seventh !ntant& was sent to the Lane Hospital in n Francisco this morning. to be operated on for appendi- citis. There was a football game in town to- day between teams from the Seventh In- fantry and the Third Brigade. Honors were even, for the score was 6 to 6. Sev- eral old Stanford players were in the lines and the game was a good one. Yesterday a baseball team from the Fifth Infantry beat a team from the town by a score of 8 to 3. just sb?ut paid the expe: lo?l_gwt;sp&% o'clock when the horses came out of the paddock to parade before the stand. In two minutes they were at the post. They got away eleven minutes later after one false break. Sanazarro showed first, a neck ahead of Six Shooter. Bon- nibert was third, Beau Gallant fourth, The Parader fifth, Terminus sixth, Robert Waddell seventh, Silverdale eighth, Sadie S ninth and His Eminence last. Rounding the turn the positions were not altered much, except that Piggott took’ The Parader into the lead to set the pace. That may have been the ‘colt’s un- doing. Passing the stand for the first time, the field was well in hand, with The Parader a length ahead of Robert Wad- dell, which had dropped into second po- sition without any jostling ‘or erowding. Waddell was two lengths ahead of Sadie S. Bonnibert was fourth and runing easily. Terminus was fifth, two lengths ahead of Silverdale. Six Shooter was a neck in front of Sanazarro, which was a length ahead of Beau Gallant. His Emi- nence was still last. . The Parader Forges Ahead. 3 into the back stretch, The ng::lne?‘md increased his lead to three lengths, while Waddell hung on_nicely, two lengths ahead of Bonnibert. Sadle S and _the others behiind appeared to be rated according to orders. At the half-pole The Parader still held his lead of two lengths and Waddell was still in_ second place, running Kkindly, while Terminus had moved into third place. The pace began to tell at the far tdrn and The Parader’s lead was cut down by the truer running Waddell. which. an- nses of the colt's swerlng to Bullman's call, increased the Right won, aylignt between himself and Terminus to_four iengths. Straightening out for the drive in the stretch the horses gave an inkling of the final result of the race. ‘“The Parader is beaten!” came from the throats of thou- sands. = “Bullman is going after him!” as Waddell passed the crack Eastern colt, and Bullman never had any -doubt of his victory. The Parader was two lengths before Terminus, with the tired or sulky Bonnitert fourth, three lengihs ahead of His Eminence, on which Odom was mak- ing one of his whirlwind finishes. The remainder of the field was beaten off. Down to the wire and under it flashed the winner, Robert Waddell, still full of running, a’ length ahead of Terminus, which just snatched second place from The Parader by a neck. The Parader was five lengths ahead of Bonnibert and the remainder of the field straggled under the wire just ahead of the surging crowd that broke into the infield and over the fences to greet the equine hero and his popular jockey, Bullman.
