post the winner is apt to be found
among them unless the weightS-which
are not assigned until two days before
the race-are prohibitive. The same
number of purse races as on the two
preceding days fill out the third days

BIGGEST RACE OF THE MEETING
1t is for three-year- and is prac-
tieally a renewal of the Derby, the only
difference being that the distance is a
quarter mile shorter. Pretty much the
same horses that constitute the Derby
field are entered in this, and the Derby
will furnish an excellent and almost in
fallible line as to the winner. If Proc
tor Knott comes to the post, he ought to
have this race at his mercy. The Nc
Campbell handicap, a sweepstakes for
all ages, a mile and seventy yards, to-
gether with three other purse races,
will be run on this, the fifth day. The
olds and upward, with $1,000
added, mile and an eighth, is
the feature of the following day.
In it are entered Badge, Hypocrite, Clay
Stockton, Insolence, I.ibrettO. Lavina
Belle, Allahrene. Mcdowell, Hey Day,
Bob Forsythe, Mollie McCarthy's Last,
Wahsateh and others. Until the
weights appear two days previous to
the race speculation as to the winners

that wins it will have to possess both
speed and staying power. Among the

and ought to win. The Lioness, if she
were fit. would doubtless have no trouble
in winning, but there is much in that
''If." The Runnymede stakes. for two
year-olds, three-quarterS of mile, will
be run ON the following day. 1t was in
this race last year that Proctor Knott
met his first defeat, being beaten by the
jockeyship of Turner. The same horses
that start in the Alexander stakes
on the fourth day will likely
compete in this as the entries
are pretty much the same. The
EVENT OF THE DAY
is the Kentucky handicap, which ranks
next to the Derby in importance. 1t has
$500 added money, and last year was
worth s4,387 to the winner. over $1,000
to the second horse and $3.50 to the third.
Last year EgmOnt Won it, defeating the
mighty Terra Gotta in one of the great
est races ever run on Kentucky soil.
The recent unfortunate blunder in as
signing weights, owing to which the
Chicago stables delared all of its horses
in the Louisville events, has robbed the
event of not little of its interest.
But while Terra Gotta and the other
equine, giants of this stable have
been eliminated, the race promises to
be even more warmly contested because
of their absence, being necessarily more
open and doubtful. Badge, InSolence,
Clay Stockton, Libretto. Montrose, Spo-
kane, Los Angeles, Hypocrlte, Long
Chance and Bridelight are few of the
leading candidates that are apt to face
the starter. Badge looks well at 116
pounds. while Montrose, Libretto and
Hypocrite are all well in at l16, lii and
ITO, respectively. Among the light
weights Clay Stockton, with only %
pounds up, has an excellent chance.
The Macauley handicap and three other
purse races wind up the day and
the meeting. Altogether the pros
pect for fine racing is most
promising one. The stalls are
rapidly filling up, and by the time the
Lexington contingent arrives there will
be no less than 500 horses on hand. The

preparing for the coming contests.
Nine-tenths of the horses already here
and to come are entered for the rich
stakes of the Twin City Jockey club, land
besides these the cream of the Chicago
stables and some California cracks will
run at Hamlne. AS a consequence, the
result of this meeting will be particu-
Iarly interesting to residents of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, who are 10 have
