KENTUCKY DERBY 77 



shook up the son of Bob Miles and the latter springing away, 

 came on with Taral looking over his shoulder, and won without 

 further urging. 



Although the race was by no means a sensational one, yet it 

 was the Kentucky Derby, and an immense crowd, estimated at 

 20,000 people, saw the race. Of this number, probably one-third 

 were ladies in their spring toilets and presenting a scene of 

 beauty which is equalled at no other race in America save the 

 great Kentucky classic.

 cers were as follows: 



Presiding Judge — Charles F. Price. 



Associate Judge — Lew Tarlton.
