An Excellent Programme Promi

An Excellent Programme Promised.
CHICAGO, Nov 2.-lt is announced that 6i2
entries have already been made for seven
races on the Washington Park Jockey clubs
programme for next summer. The Official
list just prepared by Secretary Brester
shows that the American Derby, under the
new conditions is very popular with turf
men, no less than 130 nominations having
been made to it. The Hyde Park stakes
for two year-olds comes next, with l35, and
the Sheridan stakes for three-year- olds
third, with ninety-Onc entries. The Derby
is the race in which the public is most inter-
ested, and it will increase that interest to
know that not only are most of the horses
named OF u high class, but there are several
new names among the owners. The condl-
tons of tho Derby of 1890 are as follows:
y Starters must pay 800 each and nou-start-
ers, not declared out before April /, 500.
To this the association adds ),000 the sec
ond horse 70 get 5000 and the third 81 600
out of the stakes. Distance one and half
miles, with the usual weight allowances.
For the Hyde park stakes there are 135
horses named. In the sheridan stakes many
of the horses entered for the Derby will
meet again under slightly different condi-
tions, the distance being but one and q
quarter miles. The Lakeside stakes is q
race for two-year old fillies, at five furlongs,
and is always productive of goad racing, us
the fields are very large and well selected.
Next year some of the hest two-year -olds in
the country viii ace the starter in the Lake
side stakes. The other fixed events are The
DreXel, Englewood and Kenwood stakes.
In the first will be found an extra fine lot of
horses. The Kenwood and Englewood stakes

Miss Emma Abbott during her engagement
here. He was ushercd up TO pleasant
room in the Paxton aud found the songstress
hard at work rehearsiuV the part she was TO
take in the opera billed for that evening.
The window sash and doors OF her room
were padded with bed quilts and pillows to
prevent oven the slightest draught so fatal
to the voice. In one corner stood the up
right piano, at which the accompanist sat,
as Miss Abbott rehearsed the difficult music
of Norma" in which she charmed and
thrilled her Omaha admirers.
The intruder was graciously received.
Miss Abbott entered at once into
conversation vet she is the busiest
lady in all the land. Besides taking
the leading roles IN the roper
toire OF her company, she also manages her
business and looks after all the attending
details.
And would like to see the man who
framed the interstate commerce law hung"
she said, with some spirit "fhe law has
cost me 100000 a season ever since IL was en-
acted. The railroads have everywhere inn

Telegram to The BEE. The representatives
of the Western association clubs met here
in annual meeting to-day. Omaha was
represented by j. 5. Mccormick and Il. o..
Brandt; Des Moines by W. o. Finkbine and
w. r. Warfield; Denver by w. l.. Van
Horn and ID. Il. Rowe; Milwaukee by Il. N.

Paul by A. NJ. Thompson, and Minneapolis
by Sam Morton.
l.. L. Longbreak, a Minneapolis attorney,
had been authorized by Manager Trucken-
miller 20 represent St. Joseph, but as the
latter had not paid up its dues Longbreak
was refused vote. This was tantamount
to declaring the st. Joseph franchise for
feited to the association.
Az the meeting of the board OF directors
secretary Morton submitted a report show
ing that the treasury still contained $780,
The demand Of Sioux City OF 800 guarantee
for IA game forfeited TO st Paul was tabled
The demand OF the former club of "a gunran-
tee from Milwaukee for leaving the field was
allowed. The board then voted TO pay secre-
tary Morton $1,000 for his services for the
season . ,
The regular association meeting was called
TO order this evening and President McCor-
mick was Immediately unanimously chosen
president and treasurer for 1SUO.
There was considerable talk over the sec
retaryship. Several delegates were in favor
of giving Morton the position again, but the
prevailing opinion seemed TO be against this
move. The candidates are g. G. Chase, of
Oshkosh; James A. Hare, of Chicago,
and Joseph Pritchard, of ST. Louis.
The meeting adjourned to 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning without choosing a secretary.
No action will be taken on the cities to
constitute the league until the spring meet
ing. A canvass Of the delegates shows that
Denver will be allowed TO remain in the as.
sociation, and that probably Lincoln will
also be admitted. The other candidates for
admission are Duluth, Oshkosh, GrandsRap-
ids, Detroit and Toledo.
