Not in recent years has there been such a popular victory. The reception accorded the placed horses as they cantered back to the judges stand after the finish was literally an ovation, swelling In volume until it reached a climax when Black Gold following custom, waS last to return there to receive the floral horseshoe, symbolic of victory, while Col C. Whitehead presented the gold plate behalf of the Jockey Club to Mrs. R. M.

Hoots of Tulsa, owner of the winner. Not only was Black Gold backed into favoritism in the mutuels, but this lacking represented many indi vidual wagers while the big money went on the Eastern entrants. Last night, it seemed as if every pet son in Louisville had wagered on the winner. Those who didn't were not admitting it. Black Gold had won the Louisiana Derby and carried weight.

He had run a mile here at Churchill Downs on a comparatively slow track in 1:37 4-5 and had made a show of his field. This was the race which earned such a tremendous Kentucky and Western following. Still the breeding experts said the son of a dam which as a racer stopped at five furlongs could not carry stake weight one and one-quarter miles. Black Gold refuted that opinion. The time for the race was 2:05 1-5, tot as fast as the Derby has been run but early pace always has much to do with the ultimate time and the six furlongs were stepped to the comparatively slow time of 1:13 and the mile in onlv 1:39 1-5.

RIark Gold Rest Horse. Black Gold was the best horse as 'the race was run. They were awav to a splendid start with a bit of crowding shortly afterward when those from the inside rail and those from the outside rail clustered in the center of the track. It did not seriously affect the chances of the -failed, contenders. Jockey Mooney on Black, Gold seemed to have supreme confidence in his mount.

Drawing the rail Mooney took no chances of being pinched off in the scramble around the first turn if he tried to jnaintain the rail position against early speed. Instead, he took the favorite up and sailed into an opening where he would be clear to go around his field when the test came. Black Gold disappointed those Easterners who had expected him to be badly outfooted in the early stages but justified the comment of those who have seen recent races in which Black Gold showed early speed behind the. pace maker. Thundering down the stretch for the first time, as they came by the judges' stand, Bracadale was acting as pacemaker wifh Wild Aster in second place.

Baffling third and Chiihowee fourth. Black Gold was fifth. Mad Play, the hope of the East but a slow beginner, was back in the ruck. The Whitney pair were well up in the bunch while Beau Butler was well back In about fifteenth place. A Careful Rider.

It furnished striking testimony to the place racing holds. Its enthusiasm was unlimited, its color brilliant. Even the stables on the back stretch were black with human files hanging on. it would seem, by fingers and toes Just to catch a glimpse of the horses as they raced by. Like English Derby.

Just before the Derby was run the crowd burst HI bounds and swarmed over the trac'- th infield, giving mounted police all they could handle. They lined the inside rail from the head of the stretch to far below he finish, forming a human lane almost half a mile Jonsr. through which the horses battled in the last desperate rush. It made a wonderful picture. It reminded one of an English Derby scene.

None who saw that bitter struggle through that last gruelling furlong will ever forget the thunder of noise and wild acclaim. Few knew which had carried off the prize. Most everybody had to wait for the numbers to go tin, when the cheers broke out thought to be serious. ac4 came to the States that she be recovered soon.

Sande was suspended by the starter ten days for disobedience at the post. Mooney said after the finish, "My horse was running smoothly all the way. I was pinched off once but soon recovered my position. He's a good one." Total Winnings $90,000. Black Gold is a good looking, well made colt.

He won the Louisiana Derby at New Orleans and has now been first in fourteen races out of twenty-two starts and only twice unplaced. Barring accidents, he will soon take his place among the list of winners to his credit. The purse today brought his total winnings to $90,113. Spectacle Is Gorgeous. The spectacle was gorgeous.

Lucky the sardine in its confort-able box. No sardine was ever packed in such close quarters as this Derby outpouring. The crowd was as distinctive as it was record breaking and democratic. The huge club house dining room was all too small for the many luncheon parties; the old paddock and the lawns far down beyond the club house were actually too cramped for the hundreds of picnic parties.

Matt Winn spread over 4,000 benches about. Every one was in use, first as tables for the basket lunches, then individual grandstands. The mutuel machines clicked and clicked. The turnover for the seven races was estimated at $2,000,000. Rose To Demands Louisville has never been so overrun.

But the city rose to demand of the unnatural pressure. Not an accident of real consequence marred a day that made civic as well as racing history. The celebration is being conducted by ever increasing hospitality. Clean up day will come tomorrow and a return to normalcy.

But all the valiant efforts made by the other contenders were puny compared with the truly heroic and pluck-ily persistent effort of Black Gold to prove that he was better than the whole lot. The three kindly faced little hills that have looked down on the classic Churchill Downs for each of fifty Derby years seemed to smile with the brightness of a sunshine which did not touch the lower earthly levels when the son of Black Toney and Useeit set out on the warpath to get nineteen thoroughbred scalps. In the first place.

Black Gold got the worst place for a favorable start. He had the rail position, which in a a field of twenty is a decided disadvantage as the horse on the rail is subject to crowding and cutting oft before he can get fairly going. Exactly this happened to Black Gold. Though he got away in third place he was bumped by several other horses, and at the quarter he had fallen back to fifth place. Here he was held in a pocket for a time and at the half he was sixth, but under the skillful guidance of his jockey he was looking for a way out and when the opening came he was through like a flash.

Final Burst of Speed. At the three-quarters he had moved up to third place and he held that position by two lengths on entering the stretch. At that time Chiihowee was leading and Bracadale was were Altawood, Bracadel, Transmute, Revenue Agent. Thorndale, Klondyke, Mad Play, King Gorin II, Cannon Shot, Modest, Diogenes, Nautical, Mr. Mutt, Baffling.

Wild Aster and Bobtail. The West gained a sweeping victory over the East, as the first four horses under the wire were Western-owned. For many hours thousands had waited for the great event. A crowd which would have been considered large for many a sporting event waited through the early morning hours for the gates to open at 7 o'clock. With each succeeding hour the throng grew until every street and thoroughfare and every highway leading into th city from those old Kentucky homes in the country was congested with such traffic as even Louisville, accustomed to its annual Derby crowd, had never seen before.

Every Foot Taken. It seemed believable that any event in a city of approximately 200,000 population could magically increases that population by 50 per cent or more and still more unbelievable that any sporting event could fill those great reaches of the Churchill Downs racetrack grandstand, double-decked and 1,400 feet long, to say nothing of the ample lawn spaces and the tremendous area of the bettgin ring, paddock and club house enclosures. Yet the spirit of the Derby waved its magic wand and the seemingly impossible happened.

Black Gold, speed marvel of the year, constituting solely and alone the one-horse stable of Mrs. R. M. Hoots, a Cherokee Indian ot Oklahoma, put the Indian sign on eighteen others of the finest racehorses America could pit against him when he won the Jubilee Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. It was no easy victory like his winning of the Derby Trial last Tuesday, when he took a commanding lead at the start and was never headed.

The Derby called for all of the wonder horse's speed and gameness. and the result left not a shadow of doubt that his name deserves to rank high on the roster of fame with those of the long line of Kentucky Derby winners that went before him.

Hats were recovered with a foolish look, coats were adjusted, expressions became normal. The world was much the same as it had been. Not quite, however, something big had been enjoyed and indelibly ins-pressed upon memory. Churchill Downs is just about the best appointed racetrack in this broad land, following the improvements of last winter. It lacks the spaciousness of Belmont Park, but it Is quite as big.

It boasts 1.500 boxes to only 300 at the home of the Jockey Club, and has much of the beauty Saratoga were devoted to parking private cars.

Mrs. Hoots is a motherly looking woman.

She wore a simple gown of hue. with her stable colors, "old rose, white cross sashes and black cap" on hat and scarf.

Stockholm, May 17 C43) Striking changes in the vocational trend and a shift to new points of destination in America appear in the stream of Swedish emigrants, as revealed by an investigation ordered by the Biksdag and just published. Those who intend to take up farming in the United States are no longer in the majority, their number having decreased in proportion to the increase of industrial workers, especially from the metal and wood-working industries, which suffered depression last year. Consequently most of the emigrants are now bound for the industrial districts in the Northeastern States, instead of the agricultural districts of the Middle West or the Pacific Coast.

many of which had brought their owners across the continent on long and tiresome journeys consuming days. And at the end of the rainbow lay that thrill to be gained in the two minutes and five and one-fifth seconds which it required for Black Gold to cover the Derby route. Pot for Mrs. Hoots.

If he had been going fast before seemed that he was now fairly flying. He was out in the open at last, free from troublesome pockets and here in this last furlong or so he ahowed speed which if it could have been maintained throughout the mile and a quarter -would have hung up a new record for the distance.

Strange as it may seem, thousands at the track on the clay of days in the r-ing calendar did not see this great Derby run. They were down in the immense betting ring under the grandstand, speculators rather than spectators, and unwilling to leave their hard-fought for places near the mutuel machines. These bettors spent the entire day in the ring. FREE STATE AWED 12-MILE RUM PACT Sir Auckland's Signature On Behalf of British and Irish.

The track management estimated that at least 100,000 persons saw Black Gold make his final stouthearted effort in the stretch to pass the winning post half a length ahead of Chiihowee, with Beau Butler in third place and beaten for second by a neck.

Mrs. Hoots Appears. The race was no nerve soother for Black Gold's backers who had sent their money aftr their judgment In the future books and in the pari-mu-tuel machines at the track. Every chance of the game seemed to go against him, but with the courage of a born winner he took the breaks as they came, gave adversity the horse laugh and landed the $50,000 purse and the gold trophy cup for his Indian owner. No one who has never heard the concerted shoutings of 100,000 men and women wrought up to the higher pitch of excitement can imagine the thunderous acclaim which greeted the valiant little black horse when he canfered back proudly to salute the judges and the populace after his victory.

Cheer after cheer for the horse. More cheers and a big American bouquet for the grinning jockey, Mooney, and then the big surprise of the day. Mrs. Hoots, most retiring of horse-owners, appeared to accept her share of the plaudits. Stoically Fnemotional.

Tall and with traditional Indian dignity, fashionably gowned and hatted, Mrs. Hoots stood on the judge's stand in view of the vast throng. She was stoically unemotional as one of her ancestors might have been when the luck the game had gone against him and he was being led qut to the stake. She showed quite as much dignity and poise as he did when she was led up to quite another kind of stake. th coveted Kentucky Derby stake of $50,000.

to which was added her share of the entry fees paid by the owners of the defeated horses, making a grand prize of approximately $54,000 earned for her by Black Gold in two minutes and five and two-fifths seconds.
