May 27.-fhe result of the race for the Derby stakes, 7500 sovereigns, for three-year-olds, about a mile and a. half, was: Sir J. M. Miller's Rock Sand first, Vicinius second. Flotsam third. Seven horses started. Acefull. the most prominent of the American entries, came In fifth. Acefull. who was ridden by J. H. Mar tin, displayed temper and delayed the start Hock Sand was first away, fol lowed by Rabelais. Meadand AcefulL A quarter of a mile out Mead took command and led to the top of the hill, when Rock Sand, splendidly ridden by Maher, the American Jockey, drew to the front and, making the remainder of the running, won easily by two lengths. Two lengths sepa rated the second and third horses. Rabe lais was fourth. ' The betting was six to four on Rock Sand. 11 to 2 against Vicinius end 100 to 14 against Flotsam. Maher came in for a good reception. This was the third successive year that the Derby winner has been ridden by an American Jockey. Reiff winning in 1M1 and Martin last year. The crowded state of the roads to Ep Bom this morning bore eloquent testimony to the devotion of the Londoners to the traditions of Derby day. The weather, the presence of members of the royal family and of the international character of the field for the great rave, all contributed to insure something like a-recbrd attend ance. The aristocratic and democratic lev els of society, with all the Intervening strata, were early on the move. By S:30 A. M. a never-ending stream of vehicles of all kinds was in full flood. Four-in-hands, motors, brakes and other car riages intermirgled with the coster caval cade, which emptied Whltechapel of half of its donkey population. None of the customary diversions along the road wore missing. The King and Queen, accompanied by Princess Victoria, the Prince and Prin cess of "Wales, the Duke of Cambridge. Grand Duke Michael of Russia, and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught took a special train to Epsom and their example was followed by thousands. The railroad r stations were, thronged throughout the morning by stalelj flresscd women and men. GREAT ItAClKG FOR TODAY. Eighteen Thoroughbreds "Will Try for the Brooklyn Ilnnilicnp. NEW YORK, May 27. Eighteen thor oughbreds are named to start in the Brooklyn handicap "tomorrow. The giants of the American turf last season are miss ing from the entries, but the best of those that have made this year remarkable al ready for gretQt racing performanceo will start. William a Whitney's splendid filly Gunfire will undoubtedly be the favorite, with Oom Paul. Articulate, Yardarm, Blues and Heno nearest to her in odds. Jockey Burns' flagrant disregard of orders in the race yesterday in which Injunction beat Whitney's Girdle caused his suspen sion by his employer, and little Fuller will probably have the mount on Gunfire. There have been no phenomenal trials for the great event so far as the public has been Informed. Gunfire. 111. will be Queen of the day be fore the race at least, and many horsemen regard her victory as assured. Her tre mendous speed in the Metropolitan, the gameness, the courage of her challenges and her easy win at the end stamped her a great favorite. She is the only represen tative of her sex in the race. Oom Paul, 107, will have the services ot Bullman. rider of many stakcwlnners. He Is the horse Gunfire must beat, according to all accounts. Yardarm, 96, the entry of E. R. Thomas, latest of the millionaire turfmen, will have many friends. Connell will ride. No rain has fallen or Is promised to mar the Gravesend course, which Is at its best. WIXS THE BELMOXT STAKES. Africander Captures the Best Race at Morris Park. NEW YORK. May 27.

Challenge for a Track Meet In This Country May lie Sent. NEW HAVEN. Conn., May 27. It is stated on the best authority that athletic officers at ale arc seriously -considerinc sending a challenge to Cambridge Univer sity, England, for a track meet in this country. Yale's victory over Harvard "has given her athletic men hope of an intercollegi ate victor- In which event. It Is believed. a challenge will be sent to Cambridge for a dual meet. Cambridge has won the- English inter collegiate championship on the track, and has practically Invited a challenge from some American university. Yale may pick up the gauntlet In case she becomes Inter collegiate track champion. Such a meet would probably be held In July. GREATLY ALARMED By a Persistent CoukIi. hat Perma nently Cured uy uiinmbcrlaln's Coacrh Remedy. Mr. H. P. Burbacc. a student at law. In Greenville, S.

Mr. Bur bage having seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it.

"I never was In better condition In my life and I'm going to win tonight. If I don't It will not be because I am not In shape to put up the battle of my life. I don't expect a short fight, for Joe is a tough customer, but I shall turn the trick Just as soon as I can get the wal lup in that will bring home the money." "Mysterious' Billle" Smith. "Sure. I'm going to win. Never felt more sure. of anything In my life. About AND PUGILIST WALCOTT. 10 to 12 rounds will be the stopping point Smith's all to the good yet. and he's a mighty dangerous nun while he's oh his feet, and he's a fighter that you've got to knock out before you carry away the win ner's end of the purse." Joe Walcott There seems to be plenty of Walcott money in sight and it -Is natural to sup pose that a great many of Joe's friends in Portland think that he is going to whip his old opponent tonight. Yesterday about 5700 of the $1000 placed at the Port land Club by the Walcott admirers was taken up at 10 to JS by Smith's follow ers, which proves that the white man has plenty of friends when it comes to wager ing on the result. In tho East there is considerable money being placed on the fight and several sporting men In that section of the country have been wiring for inside information concerning the condition of the two men and the pre vailing odds in Portland. Stories about the perfect condition of the two men which have appeared In the columns of The Oregonian have greatly added to tho general Interest in the battle, and the advance sile of tickets has been very great Most of the box seats have al ready been taken. Both fighters ceased their training yes terday. This morning they will take a trip on the roads, and some time late in the afternoon will weigh In. That the fight will be worth seeing hardly needs to be stateuT Smith and Walcott are of the whirlwind order and it will be a bat tle from the sound of the gong. The opening round will be without Its cus tomary fiddling amd feinting, for the two men know each other, and it will not be necessary for them to first get a line on what's doing before they start tho heavy artillery. And it will be heavy artillery when they come together. It will be no love match, this fight There Is in old grudge to settle, a grudge that several battles have only helped to in flame. The preliminary will also be between two big fellows. -Mueller, who meets Kid O'Brien, has a match pending with Joe Gans, and it is up to him to dispose of O'Brien in a hurry If he can. For a big fellow, Mueller Is shifty and fast He is taller than O'Brien, and will enter tho ring at least six pounds heavier. O'Brien has been working with Smith and can go a few himself, and he will not prove a nut that will be easily cracked. Jim Nell, who will officiate as referee will arrive this morning. MR. PLUVIUS INTERFERES. Prevents Pacific Nntionnl Game Rank "Work of Umpire "Warner. Old J. Pluvius Eeems to .have had a' round-trip ticket, for he blew back again and yesterday prevented the Greengages from taking part In the matinee scheduled with Tacoma. During the morning there was a brief let-up, but about the time that Grim and McKIbben began to see visions of gate receipts things got very busy in cloudland and huge' black banks of vapor rolled over the city and extended to the ball grounds, and so the game was called off. The players not all of them dug down in their Jeans for the privilege of trying to hook up to kings and queen3 and an occasional Jack in a little game of draw. Both Grim and McKIbben received their trimmings while down California way, and both teams have badly crippled pitching departments, and both managers have pitchers on the road to join their teams. McKIbben has St Vraln and a chap named Bluett on the road. St Vraln i3 well known in Portland. Bluett was one of the star twlrlers turned out by the Georgetown College, Washington, D. C. He left the college team In order to Join fast company, bit has failed most woe fully, and. by the way, he is about the only Georgetown player who has failed to make good. He Is a hard-working pitcher, but ho Is as streaky as a tiger, and when he Is bad he's the worst ever. He happens to bo a pitcher that needs lots of work, and In the company he Is about to join he should develop into a star. In a game against Princeton's crack, Hllderbrand, he not only pitched a. better game than did Hildy, but by his' timely Swattlnj- helped Georgetown defeat Princeton. He and WhlteNow with the Phillies, were the stars of thK team Jack Grim is not & great baiv" to howl hard luck, btit he comes back wit a tale of woe about the exceedingly raw vk -k of Umpire "Warner that would softens tho heart of a stone. If all the stories ab't Warner are true, he has AtcDonaia oeatev. I, to the woods. It was Impossible for the Browns to win a game while in Los An geles, and it. seems to have been the same fate with the Greengages while they .were In that city. Warner not only fined Pitcher Quick, but suspended him for ten days. Quick la not a bad-tempered fellow, and he would never have mixed things with "Warner hadn't there been loads of cause. It's too bad that Grim could not havo brought Warner to Portland with him so that the fans could have handed him a bunch when he appeared across the river. Warner will be In Portland be fore the season closes, unless he Is dumped by President Lucas before that time, and wheh he does come there will be a. bunch cooked and waiting for him. r ; PACIF.IC NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Crevr Which Will Contest With Port land Cre-iv on Willamette. The presence in the city of the crack rowers from the University of California, who will compete with the picked four of the Portland Rowing Club for the Pacific Coast championship has given a' decided boom to aquatic sport here and interest in the race to be rowed off at 1:30 P. M, on the Willamette. "Berkeley's junior four represents the best type of the college athlete, and looks fit to account well for Its hard and con scientious training. It consists of Grind ley, captain; Harley, stroke; Daudy and Smith. The men average well as to age and weight, and are In the pink of condi tion. Their work on the river thus far has been such as to convince local enthus iasts that they handle themselves admir ably in action. Their stroke is strong and steady, and they sit well. According to Captain Grlndley, they have had very little coaching, and have rowed only one race, except on the university course, when they met the Dolphins at San Fran cisco seven weeks ago; They walked away from the 'Frisco crew, but Grlndley Is frank enough to admit that they1 had a big advantage In boats. Theirs Is an Ithaca model, and, although cranky, is without doubt the best on the Coast The little coaching which they have received has been from George W. Goodman, of the Olympic crew, of 'Frisco, and Henry Peterson, One of the most famous oars men in the world, who finished second in the championship sculling race which was won by Hanlon yea"rs ago. Previous to this year the only experience which the Callfornlans have had has been In class races at the 'varsity. Grlndley and Hafley weight 155 each, and are 22 and 24 years old respectively. Daudy, who Is 21, weighs 1G0, and Smith, 24 years old. Is in the 163-pound class. The Portland crew has trained hard all Winter, and will be In great shape- for Saturday's race. The race will be V& miles straightaway, and it is hoped to have the finish just above the Morrison-street bridge, in or der to accommodate the spectators on the bridge. Unfortunately, the Government dredge Is directly In the course, and, un less It can be moved, or a section of the tube taken out, to allow a passageway. the course will have to be laid out further? up the river. A smoker has been arranged for Satur-' day night, complimentary to the visitors. They go from hero to Seattle, where they' will row the University of Washington crew on June 3. This will be the first intercollegiate race ever held on the Coast The club has ar ranged for several other rowing events on Saturday afternoon. Frohmari's and Am brose's crews will row a junior race. There will also bo canoe races, and one between a centipede and a shell. A com mittee will wait upon the people having tho dredging in charge this morning, and an effort will be made to secure the re moval of a section of the tube, so as to permit a finish at Morrison street, which will be much more accessible than one further up the river. HAVE MADE GOOD SCORES. Portland Man Brings Hack Prize Money From Trap Shoot. Frank Howe, of this lty, who partici pated In the clay pigeon tournament held last week by the San Francisco Trap Shooters' Association, is mentioned by the papers of that city as. ono of the visitors who made exceptionally good scores, con sidering the conditions, and went home with a good ehare of the prize money. Tho shoot is said to have been highly successful from the standpoint of consist ently good scores. Clarence Nauman, of 'Frisco, won the high average award over M. O. Feudner by breaking 531 out of a possible 600, Feudner's record being- 529. Tho Portland shooters did not return yesterday as had been expected, but it is probable that they will get In today.
