SIMON KENTON BIG SURPRISE

Captures the Derby at Readvllle Track From Springfield. Readvllle, Mass., Sept. 3.—Simou Kenton fairly dropped from the clouds and won the American Pacing Derby at the Grand Circuit meeting. Up to the time he passed the winning post, nobody had considered him as worthy of a thought, the favorite being Asa Wilkes, with The E6l a strong second choice in the betting.
