for two-year-old colts, fve-eighths dash,
81 200 added, is the principal event of
this day. Proctor Knott, Fan King,
Champagne Charlie, Once Again,
BOOdler, Bootmaker, and others will
meet in this. Three s4OO purses-one
and one-siXteenth, all ages; one and
one-eighth, sweepstakes, and mile
dash, all ages-fill out the day.
Fifth Day-The Elmendorf handicap
heads the programme for the day. 1t is
one and three-eighths miles, for all ages.
s. 900 added, and numbered among it's
probable starters are Terra Gotta,
LibrettO, Valuable, LeleX, Boaz, Mont
rose, Hypasia, Elgin, Florimore. Inso-
lence, ROi dor and a couple of the Cali
fOrnianS. Terra Gotta will be a strong
favOrite doubtless, with Lelex well up.
Three other raceS-purSeS of S400 each
complete the day.
THE CLARK STAKES
is the feature of the sixth day 1t is for
three--year-Olds, and is practically re-
newal of the Derby, except that the
distance is quarter shorter. Pretty
much the same horses that constitute
the Derby field are entered in this. ana
the Derby will furnish an excellent and
almost infallible line as to the winner.
The McCampbell handicap, a sweep
stakes, with S400 added, together with
two other purses, will also be run.
Seventh Day-The Merchants handi-
cap will be run on this day. 1t is dash
of one and one-eighth miles, for all ages,
and among those eligible to start are
Little Minch, Unite, Terra Gotta, Lib
retto, Telie Doe, Boaz, Frank Ward,
Gallifet. The Lion, Nick Finer, Hy-
pasta. LOrrington, Grimaldi, Drumstick,
Roi dor, Laredo. Los Angeles, Grisette,
Etnrnnan lot
Der of others. Terra Gotta, it is proba-
bic, will not start in this, and if he does
not there will be a pretty hot race be-
tween Little Minch, Telie Doe and one
or two of the others. The stake is worth
! about $500 to the winner. Three
other races, purses of S40O each, fill out
| the day.
The great event of the eighth day is
| the Kentucky Oaks for three-year-Old
| tillies, mile and half. 1t is this race
from which is patterned the Englewood
stakes of Washington Park. Pretty
| much the same horses are entered in
| tillies will start in the Oaks, but the
fact that Los Angeles is entered and
will start almost beyond doubt, will pre-
clude the possibility of very large
field. The Baldwin filly is conceded to
have a "cinch'' ON the event. The
Louisville Hotel sweepstakes and two
other purse races complete the pro-
| gramme.
On the ninth day there are four ra ces
of which the Runnymede stakes for
twO-year-olds, three-quarters of mile,
is the principal one. The same horses
that start in the Alexander stakes on the
fourth day will likely compete in this
Proctor Knott, The LiOness, Boodler,
etc. Three other races, among which is
| the Deepen handicap. sweepstakes of
$40, S400 added, complete the programme
for the day. The event of the last day
THE KENTUCKY HANDICAP,
which in Importance ranks next to the
Derby. 1t has $4,000 added money, and
will be worth about $1,000 to the winner.
Of the seventy entries only sixteen have
so far been declared, and the field of
starters will undoubtedly be large
one. The following are almost Ger
tain to come to the post: Terra
Gotta, Roi dor, Arundel, Boaz, Badge,
Florence E, Egmont, Hypasia, InsO-
lence, LibrettO, MontrOse, Nick Finer,
Poteen, Panama, Telie Doe. Unite
Valuable and Drumstick. There are
also dozen others that are now con-
sidered probable starters. Indeed. un-
less Terra Gotta scares them off, it
would not be surprising if between
twenty and twenty-five horses faced the
starter in this event. Terra Gotta will
undoubtedly be hot favorite on the
day of the race and ought to win. He
was never in better fix than now, and,
as he, carries no penalties, his weight
Q16) will prove nothing more than
feather to him. He will have Jockey
Fitzpatrick to pilot him. Badge, who
: X-nf. al in
proved
a SORRY DISAPPOINTMENT,
both at Nashville and Lexington. and
unless he picks up materially in the
next ten days, will hardly figure in the
race at all. Ed COrrigan thinks the full
sister, to Freeland (Unite), has chance
and has backed her at long odds. The
Labold Bros. closed the books on Mont
rose week after they were opened on
this event, and stand to win S15, 600 on
him beside the stake. Nick Finer and
Florence E have also been closed out bv
their respective owners, and may stand a
fighting chance. Next to Terra Gotta,
however, Jennings great Tom mare.
Telie Doe, is believed to stand the best
show. She is as fleet as the wind. and
was never In better fix. POteen demon
strated by his victory in the DistillerS'
stakes at Lexington that he was a race
horse that should not be left out of the
calculation in any sort of race. Three
other dashes fill out the last day.
Altogether, the meeting promises to
be a most successful one in every re-
spect. Every stall has been engaged at
the track, and the overflow is being
placed in quarters at the driving park
grounds. The track is covered with fly
ers every morning up to as late as II
