Abou, Horses mt New Orleans.

II view of the beginning Of the regular
spring meeting at New Orleans tomorrow
the following points concerning horses on
that track may be Of interest. They were
sent 10 the Chicago Hoseinan by its travel
ing correspondent, aud lac knows what he is
talking about. White is both looking and
doing we'll but he will have about all he
can do TO give a good account Of himself in,
his Western engagements, without being
specially prepared for those In the East
Ercbus was never very good horse at
longer distance than n mile, and though he
gives promise Of being right up to his early
engagements yet he can be pretty safely
counted out Of the Suburban, for he Is not
likely TO be reserved for that event. Clay
Stockton may be little dangerous. as she
Is In the race with light impost but judg-
ing from her form OF last season can scarcely
consider her 'class enough" even with the
great difference IN the weights assigned the
two, 20 stand much chance against a horse
like Terra Gotta.
As to the Derby Bootmakcr Is considered
the most promising Of the four candidates in
trimming here, and he has developed into a
very fine looking three year old. There are
some doubt about his training on though,
and a well informed man who has watched
the colt In all his gallops, tells me that he
don't think lac will stand the severe work
necessary TO III him TO run In such race as
the Derby. The colt was troubled with a
bad foot last season, and though he seems 20
be al right now the trouble Is liable 10 re
turn at any time. In view Of this fact my
informant thinks II would be n much wiser
policy 20 90 slow with him and get ready for
some Of his engagements that will not call
Tor such a severe preparation, and thus
gradually work him into good midsummer
form instead Of hurrying him for the Derby.
10 Is well known, however, that Milton
Young. his owner has long desired 20 win
the Louisville race, and IL is entirely prob
able that the colt will be put In condition 10
illl his engagement there. Bootmakcr Is In
the hands OF Pete WINNER, who Is n very
careful man, and II ho can bring him 20 the
post iit the colt VII give a good account of
himself In any company; bu; getting him
there iit and well is where the rub comes In.

OF badly nj the start, bat she came through
the bunch and finished a good second.
Fairy Queen showed great speed In the first
part of the race but she Is very small and
seemed 10 tire In the last iurlOng. The
pace was mpid from the start, as they ran
the first furlong In - seconds, and finished
out the three furlOngs In $50 seconds.
On Friday another face was given nt the
same distance, aud Mile Williams won.
after a driving finish with Wrestler. in 3s1
seconds. Mile Williams Is small lilly,
but compact and evidently very speedy. She
Is not likely 10 make n high-class performer,
but should be a useful young miss In the
early spring events at Memphis aud Nash.
