Corrigan's Great Faith.

Present indications point to Riley, Prince
Fonso and Robespierre being in the first
flight. Mr.. Corrigan said at Nashville last
week that he was sure his colt would win,
and that he did not start him at Memphis
and Nashville because he was ailing at the
first place and the track was too muddy
here. Hankins, his trainer Kiley and all
their friends left here last Sunday confident
that the brown son of Jils johnson would
repeat the victory of his haIf-brother,
Macbeth H., in 1888.
One of the curious features of the race
will be the pilotage Of Riley by Tom Kiley,
the trainer OF Robespierre and the watchtul
guardian over young Francis, who will
have the mount on Robespierre. Corrigan
engaged Kiley several months since, long
before Robespierre had shown so prom
1nently. Prince Fonso will be piloted by
Monk" Overton, who is capable of riding
great finish; Goodbye, by Hollis; Prod
igal Son, by Isaac Murphy probably: while
the jocks for the others have not yet been
named.
1t will not be Derby of Proctor Knott
Spokane caliber, but it may turn out good
race. Let us hope so. BLUE WINCH

of consentina to exhibiting their legs, the
hunt clubs of New York, at whose dancing
parties the gentlemen appear IN small

this beautiful novelty, and it will be danced
at their hops in connection with the summer

becoming an instantaneous success is the
demand which it makes upon the cavaliers
to display their calves. This is delicate
point with the youth of to-day. Calves
aren't whst they used to be. Horse cars

The PUBLIC

During the past two years have read the many
testimonials from patients who have been
cured BY the physicians Of the Catarrh and
Dyspepsia Institute at No 322 Penn avenue.
Please remember that these patients were not
those who had some simple catarrh of the
head-which. with few local treatments and
snuff medicines at the hands of the doctor
seem to be cured-but were patients suffering
from catarrh in its most aggravated, chronic
form, and which. in some cases, had developed
into consumption. Notwithstanding the fact
that numerous travelling doctors and so-called
specialists have located in Pittsburg. the
patronage of this medical institution has
steadily increased. The testimonials published,
and which always contain the name as signed
by the patient, together with the crowds Of
people who daily call on these specialists, prove
their success in the treatment Of catarrh. Also
please remember that this is the only institution
in Pittsburg where only catarrh, dyspepsia and
diseases of women are received for treatment,
preferring to treat these diseases successfully
rather than attempt to cure all diseases.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.1
Fifteen years ago. in the lovely month of
May, the first Kentucky Derby was run
over the then beautiful course at Churchill
Downs, the mighty little ''red horse" Aris-
tides being the victor. No prince of the
realm ever received a more generous ovation
than did this great little son of the peerless
bennington when he passed the post in the
van on that eventful day. 1t was the in
augural of the sport of kings at Churchill
Downs, and Nj. Lewis Clark was the
proudest man in all Kentucky that day.
But time brings many changes. The
great Eastern race tracks of the present day
were then in their swaddling clothes, as it
were. There were no 3-year-old events with
fabulous sums of added money to tempt the
Western horseman to turn his footsteps
eastward when the trees began to put forth
their leaves in the springtime. Racing
around New. York City had not grown to
the colossal proportions of the present day.
The Western horsemen rather preferred to
stay nearer home and bring his horse to the
post for the classic event which in those
days was the one bright spot upon the sun OF
the turf kingdom.

one may expect many more such weeks if

In a very short time the Kentucky Derby
became the premier race of the Western
turf. Every owner and trainer in Kentucky
and Tennessee who had colt worth $500 be-
gan early in the winter the work of prepar-
ing him for the battle of the cracks. Men
like George Rice, Brown Dick" Lee Paul
and host of others spent months and
months in the work, but while many were
called few were first past the post. This did
not deter the trainers, for they went upon
the hypothesis 'if at first you don't succeed,
try. try again"
Winter after winter the work of preparing
the Derby candidates went on. Every move
ment of the horses was watched, and many
were the stories of how this or that trainer
worked his horse by moonlight. Every arti-
fee was employed to circumvent the
''touts," for there were "touts" in those
days just like there are now, the only diff
ference being that they were little more re-
spectacle and less numerous. Stable secrets
were guarded as if lite depended on it. and
few and rar between were the tips which es-
capped them.
1t was great honor to win the Derby in
those days, and it was worth any mans
time and money to work ior it. The fortu-
nate horse was considered the greatest of the
year, and his name was on a million tongues
for the balance of the season. "All hail the
king" greeted his ears along the line, and
no babe at its mothers breast was ever more
carefully watched over than the winner of
the Derby.

The Other speedy Boys.

Palisade is also being trained at Le1ing-
ton and gives some promise of being a
starter. Protection is receiving his prepara-
tion at Latonia, is in fine condition as to
health, but rather backward in his work.
Mt. Lebanon was trained at Memphis, and
is highly thought Of by his people. He
comes from great racing family, and will
stay the route with the best of them. W.
G. Morris will carry the Megibben colors,
Avondale being out of training and Eberlee
not up to bruising race. OF Goodbye ab-
solutely nothing is known. Burford has
been trained at West Side Park, Nashville,
and has had the careful hand of Jonas
Kleiser to fit him for the race. Although
maiden he is colt of undoubted speed, and
his party are confident that he will be in
the hunt. He has shown fast work over the
West Side track. but started once during
the late meeting in very fair company and
was never prominent.

Probably a more unwIse move could not
well be made at present by the new League
officials than that of the Philadelphia p. L.
club. Their determination to try and secure
injunctions against Gleason, Thompson and
others of the Philadelphia n. L. club. is
about the stupidest step that could we'll be
taken at the present iuncture. 1t is one of
the most inconsistent acts that could well be
done, because not long ago those same peo-
pie, the Philadelphia new League people.
were qualifying the actions of the N. L.
magnates as cowsrdly in trying to enjoin
Ward and Ewing. The Philadelphia club
would indeed do we'll to wash its hands of
all such proceedings. 1t is not fair
method of fighting and really shows that old
Harry Wright is having the best of it
in a fair and open fight. But
should the players be eDjoined what
will the Philadelphia P. L. club do with
them? They will have to keep and pay
them. and also those who are playing with
the P. L. club now. This unerringly leads
us to the conclusion that it is not the SER

Though defeated for the Two Thousand.
Hardy Durham hasn't lost faith in Prince
Fonso. Immediately after that race he car
ried the colt back to Louisville, and has
kept him right down to his work. He firmly
believes the horse was not quite up to
bruising race when he met Robespierre, and
that be will turn the tables next Wednesday.
Good judges think Fonso holds the brown
son of Jiis johnson safe if he can only de-
feat Riley.
Prodigal Son is in training at Lexington,
and in "Brown Dicks" hands is being
given a superb preparation. Private ad-
vices from that point pronounce him very
dangerous factor in the race. He has grown
into magnifcently- -proportioned colt, ana
is showing great turn of speed in his WORE.

How II is To-Day.

But time brings many changes. The
Brooklyn and Suburban and Omnibus and
Lorrillard and American Derby and other
rich stake events of the turf have over
shadowed the blue ribbon race of Ken
tucky's metropolis. Its glory has faded. its
power has waped, until now, in the good
year of 1890, the Kentucky Derby is an
event of minor importance.
Out of the 100 or more horses eligible this
year there are none of the first class, judged
by their performances last year. True,
some OF them may yet develop into first
class animals, but the chances are rather
the reverse. Certain it is there are none of
the caliber of Joe Cotton, who won in
1885, Lord Murphy in the year 1879, or the
mighty HiEdoo, the victor in 1881. The
horses eligible this year are more of the
caliber of Buchanan and Macbeth IL, al
though in breading the majority of them
will rank with the greatest of their time.
But blood doesn't always count in the
race horse any more than it does in the
human family. Careful handling has a
great deal more to do with sending horse
first past the post. And there are precious
few trainers in the profession to-day who
can fit horse for a fixed event with the
skill of George Rice, Lee Paul and men of
their time, notwithstanding the fact that
John Rodegap sent Spokane to the post so
fit that he ran the fastestDerby on record
