Barnett's Trigo, an outsider at 33 to 1, ran away from a picked field of 25 rivals, to win the 149th running of: the famous English derby, here today. Walter Gay was second and Brienz third. Trigo won by one and a half lengths, two lengths between sec- ond and third. He won by one and a half lengths while two lengths separ- ated second and third. To this opportunist colt which conquered more famous and better liked opponents in a breath-taking whirl around the horseshoe shaped track went all the gold and glory of the greatest home Tace and perhaps the most sporting event in all the world. The betting on Trigo was at 33 to 1, Walter Gay was at 100 to ¥,- and Brienz at 50 to 1. Walter Gay which took secona money was owned by Lord Wool- avington and Brienz by Somer- ville Tattersall. Epsom was packed with peu- ple for the great classic of the turf, the Derby. During the night people slept almost anywhere--in stables, kitchens and outhouses in order to be sure of getting on the course early. There were hun- dreds of tents on the course anu some even slept in the open on the downs, They awoke shivering to find a heavy morning frost glitter- ing.on the grass in the sun's rays. The frost quickly turned to sil- very drops, however, slightly mois- tening the course which was still fairly hard. A cold mist blotted out'the sun later and there were prospects of passing showers dur- ing the day. : : The first motor coach party reaghed the downs at 5.30 in the morning after travelling 'through the night from Bolton, Then came the freat traffic crawl of motor buses charabancs, motor cars, tax- is, motorcycles and bicycles from London.

LABOR PREMIER BELIEVED T0 HAVE SELECTED THE MEMBERS OF HIS CABINET YReinias MacDonald Went to Windsor This Fore- noon to Consult With His Majesty the King on the Composition of His Govs ernment ALL EXCEPT MINOR POSITIONS FILLED, Only Difficulty Experienced Is That of Securing Suit. able Man to Fill the Office of Lord Chancellor--Two Outstanding Men in Ling (BY THOS. T. CHAMPION, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) London, June 5.~While Rt. Hone J. Ramsay MacDonald, Labor lead« er, today called on the King at Wind sor Castle and accepted His Majesty's request that he form a government it 1s uncertain at the moment whe= ther he will announce his cabinet toe day or tomorrow. Undoubtedly -he had the names of his principal min« isters ready this morning and pre< sented them for the King's approval but, as has often happened on pres vious occasions, the filling of the comparatively minor offices may take a few days. With 'the completion of his gove ernment accomplished Mr. MacDons ald is expected to go to Lossiemouth for a few days of restful quiet in the €oUntry. Then the political world in London will be quiescent for about three weeks until the opening of the new parliament. The Only Difficulty FN The only direction in which Mr, MacDonald is likely to experience di« ficulty because of the lack of men possessing sufficient actual technical accomplishment is with regard to the law offices, The Lord Chancellorship especially is an awkward office for the new Premier to fill suitably now that Lord Haldane is dead. . To employ an expression appropri« ate for the Derby, Lord Parmour -is the likeliest runner when past pers formances alone are considered. He was Lord President of the Council in Mr. MacDonald's last administrae tion and there is no doubt of his pro« found and bedrock knowledge of jurie sprudence. Moreover he is keenly in« terested in the League of Nations and the world peace movement generally, But he is now 76 years old and per haps his lifelong association with ec« clesiastical matters may causc some to doubt whether at such an age he has a broad enough outlook to assume the Lord Chancelorship in an ultras democratic ministry. One of the cure iosities of the constitution is that the Lord Chancellor dispenses a considers able amount of church patronage. Another Probability Lord Justice Sankey, as was indie cated on Sunday, is spoken of freely as a likely choice and it is not withs out significance that while his named Continued on page Molten Lava Invests Town Flowing 500 Feet An Hout --Is Twenty-three Feet High (i LJ Torre Annunziata, Italy, June 5g --Molten lava from wrathful Vesus vius, moving on a front 650 feel wide, invested the hamlet of Pages ani, Terzigno township, at 3 a.m. destroying 40 farm dwellings. | The fiery torrent, 23 feet high, then proceeded westward from Tem Zigno toward the railway station at the rate of nearly 500 feet am hour.
