ENGLAND’S GREAT RACE.
LONDON, May 28.—Wednesday was “Der-
by Day,” the second day of the Epsom
summer meeting. The great event of the
day and of the year was the race for the
Derby stakes of 5,000 sovereigns for the
winner; 500 sovereigns for the nominator
of the winner; 300 sovereigns for the owner
of the second horse, and 200 sovereigns for
the owner of the third. Distance, one and
one-half miles.
The race was won by the favorite, Sir F.
J ohnstone’s brown colt Common, by Ison-
omy, out of Thistle. Mr. M. E. Blanc’s
chestnut colt Gouverneur, by Energy, out
of Gadia, was second, and Sir Charles
Duke’s bay colt, Martenhurst, by Wen-
lock, out of Hirondelle, third. Common,
the winning horse, was also the winner of
the Two Thousand Guinea stakes at the
Newmarket first spring meeting.
The Great Race.
Lowering skies, with frequent flurries
of rain, made the journey to the Derby 3.
most unpleasant one for the swarming
thousands of people who in railway car-
riages, four-in-hands, wagons of all de-
scriptions, on horseback and afloat, made
their way to the scene of England’s great-
est annual racing event.
Atmospheric conditions, however, have
seldom operated to materially interfere
with the success of the Epsom summer
meeting, and the present season proved no
exception to a very satisfactory rule. The
interest in the race was as great, and the
enthusiasm as undiminished as though the
brightest of skies and the most genially
warm of suns had enlisted themselves as
environments of the all absorbing event.
The Start.
When the horses emerged from their
stables and were paraded past the grand
stand on their way to the starting post
the swift recurring showers had merged
themselves into a constant and heavy
downpour of rain. Nevertheless the ani-
mals and their jockeys made a gallant
showing as they gently cantered by the
vast crowd of elegantly dressed gentlemen
and ladies who occupied every available
inch of space on the structure.
Neck and Neck.
But one false start was made, and when
the flag finally fell the horses got away in
splendid shape, with Deemster in the lead,
which he maintained up to the end of the
first quarter of a mile. Here the filly,
Dorcas, which had been hanging on to its
flanks from the start, pulled up head by
head with Deemster, clung there for a
moment, and then dashed away in the
lead. The filly was not in the race for
long, however, for, as the streaming field
swept along to the mile post the game
Gouverneur, who had been gaining at
every bound from the quarter mile, sprang
ahead of both Deemster and Dorcas. Com—
monls mighty reserve powers were now
being developed by his jockey, so that at
the mile he was rising and falling, with a
grand sweeping motion, neck and neck
With Dorcas. and so close to Gouveneur as
almost to feel the swish of the latter’s
hoofs as they pounded the track just ahead.
Then the multitude forgot there was
such a thing as a “field.” All eyes were
on Common as, already feeling the battle
won, his jockey gave the wonderful ani-
mal his head. Along the course to the
hill Common pulled surely, confidently
and steadily ahead of Dorcas and Gouv-
erneur. Then came the rush down the
hill, Common always forging ahead until
the flying brutes entered the straight
course ahead.
The Final Effort.
‘ Here the greatest horse in England
seemed for one moment to pull himself to
gether for the final effort; then every
muscle and fiber of his being expanded as
he drew clear of the track behind and
launched himself into goal, winner of
the Derby of 1391. Compared with his
competitors Common won in the veriest
sort of a canter. Horse and jockey alike
seemed to look upon victory as a foregone
conclusion.
Lord Bradford’s bay colt Cuttlestone, by
Retreat, out of Posthnma, was fourth in
reaching the winning; post. Mr. W. R.
Marshall’s brown colt Simonian, by St. Si—
mon, out of Garonne, came in at the end
of the string, notwithstanding he had been
hard driven throughout the race.
A Big Tax Evasion Case.
TOLEDO, May 28.-—Morganthaller, the tax
inquisitor, who has been fighting the tax
case against Senator Calvin S.Brice, has un-
earthed a tax evasion case in Toledo which
will aggregate much more. At 5 o’clock last
night papers were filed against Governor
James M. Ashley, president of the Toledo,
Ann Arbor and Michigan railroad, in
Which it is charged that since 1883 over
$10,000,000 worth of bonds and stock of the
road held by Ashley have not been returns
ed upon the tax duplicate. Governor Ash-
ley is well known as one of the leaders in
congress during the war, and led the fight
in the house against President Johnson
in 1866, when he was a member of con-‘
gress. The governor spends most of his
time in New York, and though a candi-
date for congress in this district last fall,
will probably plead non- -residence, which
Mr. Brice could not do. The case is the .
largest ever brought by the tax inquisition
law in the state.
Dr. Garrison Convicted.
WHEELING, May 28.—Dr. Garrison, who
shot and killed Dr. Baird in this city last
March, was Wednesday convicted of mur-
der in the second degree. The penalty is ,
from five to eighteen years in the peniten- '-
tiary. A motion for a new trial was made.
The case was one of the most sensational
ever tried in West Virginia. The mur-
dered physician had served one term as
mayor of \Vheeling, and at the time of his
death was at the head of the Free Masons
here.
Killed by an Express Train.
BINGHAMTON, N. Y., May 28.—Twoboy_s,
named respectively Stillson and Coats,
were struck by an express train near
Union Wednesday morning. Stillson was
instantly killed. Coats sustained injuries
that will probably result in his death.
Pennsylvania Ballot Reform.
HIIRRISBURG, May 28.——The senate amend-
men as to the Baker ballot 1eform bill were
1011 concurred in by the house Wednes-
lay The vote was 89 to 98.
Three Dead in :1. Well.
CENTRALIA, Wash, May 28.—While
grading astreet a laborer uncovered an old
well to ascertain its depth. He was over-
come with foul air and fell into the well.
Three other laborers who went to his as—
sistance were also precipitated into the
well in the same manner. After the air
Became pure the men were brought to the
rurface. Only one—named Ford—could
he resuscitated. The names of the dead are
