29 MAY 1909, Page 3

One of the events of the week has been the

winning of the Derby by the King's horse Minoru.' The race was won after a very close and exciting struggle. His Majesty's success was exceedingly popular, and was received with delight by an enormous crowd. The shout of pleasure that went up when the result was made known is said by those who heard it to have been something to remember.
