PRINGE HAS LUCK The Derby Won By the Prince of Wales’ Diamond Jubilee. SIMON DALE WAS SECOND The Usual Crowds Go to Epsom With Roy- alty Well Represented, But Many Absent at the War Are Missed—Tod Sloane Rede Third Horse. gents By Associated Press. London, May 30.—At the second day’s racing of the Epsom summer meeting today, the race for the Derby stakes of 6,000 sovereigns was won by the Prince of Wales’ Diamond Jubilee. Simon Dale was second and Disguise II, third. The conditions of the race were as follows: The Derby stakes of 6,000 sov- ereigns by subscription of 50 sover- eigns each, half forfeit, 25 sover- eigns only if declared by the first Tuesday in January, 1899, for three year olds, the nominator of the winner to receive 500 sover- eigns, the owner of the second horse 300 sovereigns, and the owner of the third 200 sovereigns out of the stakes, distance about one mile and a half. The entries closed July 18, 1898. There were 602 subscribers. The following was the result in detail: -The Prince of Wales’ B. C. Dia- mond Jubilee, by St. Simons, out of Perdita II (H. Jones), 1; the Duke of Portland’s B. C. Simon Dale, by St. Simons, out of Ismay (M. Can- non.) 2; James R. Keene's B C.. Disguise I], by Domino, out of Bonnie Gal (Tod Sloane) 3. The scenes and incidents along the Epsom road on Derby day differ little from another Derby day, but the introduction of Union Jacks and banners inscribed ‘‘Johannesburg,” in joyful recognition of Lord Roberts’ entry into the Gold Reef city, was a feature of the sporting holiday. On the downs portraits of the Queen and the favorite generals were marked and distinctive features of the day’s jollification. Although the weather was not promising, the exodus from London was hardly less remarkable than in previous years. The Epsom road was congested by every variety of vehicle, .while the trains had difficulty in carrying the throngs blockading all the stations. A. large number of Americars patronized the coaches. The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, ‘the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein wei t to Epsom by special train. The Aus “tralian federation delegates traveled on the same train. Sweden and Norway was expected to. accompany the Prince of Wales, but was indisposed. At Epsom. unusual crowds were on the. hill and downs. The club and other stands and the enclosures showed the effects of the war in a marked decrease in number of fash- ionable people present. South Africa. The day, therefore, was not only shorn of much of its military interest, but the friends and relatives of officers at the front re- frained from attending.

He claimed for himself all the credit for the various acts of that administra- tion and he must therefore accept the responsibility for it. Up till = that time ithad been the main aim of every government of the province to advance the interests of British Columbia by inducing is encouraging the investment ‘of capi- tal and by sustaining the provincial credit and, speaking generally, each | government had more or less suc- cessfully carried out these objects.
