here, except on the race course. There
has been some big private wagers. how
ever. which seem TO show the drift OF
sentiment. There is no question at all
that Spokane will be a pronounced IA
vorite, and probably the best that will
be obtained against him at the
track will be to l. Don Jose
will probably be second choice
and Proctor Knott third. James Murphy.
the welI-knovn broker. this evening bet
$500 to $1,000 that Spokane would not
win. and $1,000 to $500 that Don Jose
would not run one or two. Another
moneyed man bet $1,000 even that Proc
tor Knott would be one, two or three.
He looks we'll and is moving well, but
the prevailing opinion is that he cannot
be perfect, fit and good in view of his
severe spell of sickness after the race
for the Clark stakes at Louisville. The
starters in the American Derby, with
their jockeys. are as follows:
SPokANB-kiley.
PROCTOR RkSoTT-FltZparlek.
ONCE AGAN-Murpby.
Don JosE-WincheIl.
SoRRENTo-Patsey Duffy, probably.
LE PREAIER-Elkle.
Lone DASCE-BdrneS.
RETRIEvE-IeHis.
CoME-To-TAw-Finnega
OUTBoUNp-No jockey named.
SPoRTsNAN-No jockey named.
The race promises to be a sensational
one. but the time will not be fast. The
track yet shows the effect of recent
rains. 1t dried up materially to-day,
and with no more rain it will be safe
and good track tomorrow, but not
fast one. The weather is fine tonight.
All the Derby candidates were out to-
day. Don Jose moved a mile and re-
peat in an easy gallop on the out
side Of the track where the footing
was good. Several people who saw
him move backed him subsequently.
some TO win and others for place.
George Hankins was one of the latter.
Don Jose is the unknown quantity in
the race. Nobody has been able to OBJ
tain line on him. He defeated Sports
man. Laura, Davidson and Zulu for the
great foal stakes at st. Louis. and
simply galIoped home in 2:141A. Don
Jose is a smoother and more shapely
colt than either his brother or c. 81.
Todd were at the same age. He
is dark chestnut with a
white face and legs. As two
year old the colt won out out of the
seven races he started in, but the
Grand Challenge Foal Stake, was his
first win this season. He started in but
one race previously. and that was the
Tidal stake at San Francisco. in which
he was pulled, as his owner had de-
-, Ia
companion. OF large size, great
strength and easy way of going. Don
Jose is very liable to make it hot for
Spokane and all the rest of the cracks
who are to compete tomorrow.
Since the track has become shade
heavy Bryant is almost sure to start
Come-to- Taw, as well as Proctor Knott,
for two reasons, first, because the horse
has a good chance. and. second, to help
Proctor Knott if the latter can get any
where near the string before he begins
to fall away. There are about 750
horses at the track, and yet with such
an array a couple of the purses filed
miserably, fact which put Secretary
Brewster in a rage tonight. Benedict
Sam Bryant's fine four-year-old that
he valued at $4,000. was killed to-day
on the track by being run into by the
horse Cia Bride.
The starters contain no animal of the
excellence of last years winner, but
never in the history of the race have
as many good ones faced the starter as
will be found in Spokane, Proctor
Knott, Once Again, Don Jose, and Sor-
rento. any one of which by winning
would create no great surprise in the
turf world. OF the other six starters,
poorest chance, as she has not
been shown to be of high class,
and carries three-pound penalty. Out
bound. never having won race. gets
an allowance of seven pounds, but most
likely could not win if carrying ninety
pounds. Sportsman is good enough
horse of his class. but his quality is not
high. LIE Premier is a fast, but uncer-
tain performer, and the road is at least
quarter of mile too long for him.
Why Mr.. Bryant starts Come-tO-Taw is
puzzle, for he cannot begin to make
the pace, and, laying off. would almost
certainly be outrun at the finish. Long
Dance is the best outsider, ii one cares
tor 10 to shot.
