HO! FOR THE DERBY

Crowd of 60,000 People Watch With Bated Breath [The?] Races.

SCENE AT THE TRACK.

A Crowd of 60,000 People Cheer the Thoroughbreds on Their Course.

It was the greatest day in the history of western racing. By 1 o'clock the crowd began to arrive and an hour later the big grandstand was more than comfortably filled. But still they came until at 2 o'clock fully 60,000 people were inside the gates. The big field was packed with vehicles of all descriptions and sizes, here a great tallyho, there a dog-cart or a victoria, in gact the whole seemed a vertable mass of gay painted wheels, prancing horses and beautiful women.

When the bell rang for the third race a sea of excited faces welled up behind the long rows of boxes which contained the beauty, wealth and fashion of the west.

In the betting ring it was almost an impossibility to get near a booth, so dense was the crowd and those who were there for "business" stuck closely to the bookies in order to hold their places.

Among those who occupied boxes were the following:
