been painted up, everything is in
splendid order and the indications are
for as good meeting as has been held
here in years. Co. Simmons will, as
usual, be the official judge. inspiring
confder CO in the sport, and J. F. Cald-
well will hold the starters flag with
his well-known ability.
THE TWO YEAR oLDs.
The gathering OF two year olds here
is a formidable one. OF Cocks's
string, the principal starter will be
Keder Kahn. He is bound to be
tip on account Of the game finish he
made in two year old race Iun near
the close OF the winter meeting.
We're he little heavier in his hind
quarters, he would be a perfect model
Of race horse. The stable grants
him size and stamina, but prefers
some of the others for speed. None
OF them are, however, as well forward
in condition as he is. and he will have
to bear the bulk of ihs running during
the fore part OF the SEES IN, B j. John
stcn OF the Lone Star stable has some
two year Odds. Campbell sets great
store Oh the great and hardy son of
Verailles, called after Capt. Ira Z.
Bride. Anderson has a fast young
ster in Sailor Boy, aud Maddox fine
FLY ia Zora. ], T. Williams is con-
sidered to have the pick of the young
s!ers. In the two year old race re-
ferred to he had Tom Hood and Nc
Laughlin, and expected to carry off
both ends Of the purse. Tom Hood
won with ease, but his stable COM
panion was lost in the bunch. He will
be close on to a fsvorite when the
fist wO.year-old stake race is run.
The Hurstbourne stable has couple
Of two year Odds about whom little is
known, except that they are fast and
are in good condition.
THE SOCIETY EVENT
OF the meeting will be the gentlemen g
race to be run next Tuesday. The
riders are all club men and the colors
of each will be worn by at least a
dozen in the stand. This guarantees
a large attendance and the grand
stand will be filed on that day. The
club purse is $3.50; the Pickwick Club
will subscribe 800 or more, and it is
more than likely that the value of the
race will be about $500. This will
cause the owners to give the dandy
riders good mounts and make the race
more exciting. Chantilly, Wild Kan
sas, Malvolio aud other horses will
start.
THE "sPRINTERs."
Owing to the influx from Texas
there are number of "eprinters" at
the track. There are horses famous
for running all the way from 100 yards
to half mile. There is no room on
the programme for these, but their
qualities viii. be shown off in a num-
Der of matches. On the first day
Brewn's hslf-niler, Governor Roberts,
will run Louisiana mare, Leda, 600
yards for big money. Capt. Jack
Hardy, a well.known local and Mis-
sissippi sport, lie backing the flyer
from the parishes.
On the second day Colonel Mont
gomery, a Mobile horse, will try con-
illusions with Fetch Taylor and Gov
ernor Roberts for half mile. The Col
onel belongs to a wealthy Albanian and
did not make much showing at Mobile.
His owner claimed that he was not
we'll prepared, and feels confident that
he will do what is required Of him this
time. Andy Mccarthy is training him,
and will ride on the occasion OF the
match, which is for $500 side.
FAST WORK.
Ligan and Kiohba we're worked yer.
tsrd4y morning fast mile and a quar-
ter. Bob Miles showed good speed in
the same distance. Joe Cotton is in
the pink Of condition aud will be a
hard horse to beat, provided the
threatened SPAWN does not develop.
Princess, who was the surprise here
the first year she started, and who was
out OF fix for some time, is coming
hack to something like her old racing
form. There is therefore a hope that
Batchelor's white siik will be seen on
the track again during the meeting,
THE BETTING PRIVILEGES
Ira +. Bride has been awarded the
betting privileges. They did not bring
as much as last year. Then Lamothe
d Co. bid for them and ran the price
10 to large figure. This year Mr..
Bride and the local firm are in hsr-
mony, and the Jockey Club loses quite
a snug sum by the combination.
