The scene at the race course yester-
day morning was such as may always
be seen in similar locality at a similar
time. yet one which never loses its in
terest for the lover of good horse and
square sport. His name in st. Paul is
legion, as will be proven in the turn
out to-day to witness the greatest
race of the season-the Twin City
Derby. And yesterday morning almost
before the sun had fully risen, there
stood around the paddock and against
the track fences, men who could not
have been get out of bed on any other
preteXt than that the best horses in
the country were going through their
the shining beauties of the turf out for
their evening gallops, had been too
much for them. And surely
1t Was a Sight
we'll worth going to see. There was the
magnificent chestnut colt Prince Fonso
working like the hero he is, under a
stable lad, who looked prouder than any
monarch of his throne as he coached
the Prince along at a lively spin for
quarter. A little further down the
course We're dor came laundering
along similarly handled, and with his
black coat cleaning in the early morn
ing sun like polished ebony. Across
the way the two cracks of the Chicago
stable, Joe Blackburn and Robesplerre,
were being cantered gently before
breakfast, the latter tossing his shapely
head and whinneying for rain-rain ana
lots of it, for Robespierre can go with
the best of them when it comes to deep
dirt. These and the other Derby
entries had the track almost all to
themselves in the early morning, and
a perfect lot of beauties they are, fully
justi1ying the statement of all old horse
man who stood surveying the bunch
that this ought to be the greatest Derby
ever run in the West. There is one
thing about the horses here this year
which is worthy of note and unusual.
There isn't stiff in the lot-not horse
in the entire outfit now at Hamline but
is fit to run race tomorrow, albeit
their owners have brought them
here to run rather than eat
their heads off in the barns. The New
son & Finger stable shows up with a
good string this year, among them some
old favorites. jolly Tar, Woodford,
Philora, Bertha and Mamie Fonso are
the cracks of this bunch. II. r. Baker
is here again with Efeline, x, Warpeak
and other flyers. x is entered for the
Introductory race, and is preferred by
some to
The FaYorite Catalpa.
Donatello, of the Ireland stable, is a
good-looking colt, and ought to pull off
something before the close. Yale '91,
of the same stable, is entered in the
two-year-old race to-day, and will run
well. McGuigan's stable has string of
eleven-two three-year-olds and nine
youngsters. The latter are Dundee,
Nettie Beatrice, Chimes, Linlithgow,
Gen. Caldwell, Lamar, Onlight, Mar
mora and Rose Howard. The latter, by
the way, has been a heavy winner
on the circuit this season. Most
of the jockeys are here. Kiley, the
small yet the great, who piloted the
erstwhile whirlwind Spokane to his nu-
everywhere as the most daring. and
probably the most artistic rider on the
American turf. There are dozens of
riders here, and among them:
Francis, Warwick, Porter, Fink, Stewart,
Fox, johnson, Hill, Fitzgerald, Murphy,
Elkie. Freeman, Jones, Allen, .Culbertson,
Davis, Briggs Harris. Tompkins. Sloan,
Williams, Giimartin; Taylor, Garland, Sam
mons, Combs, Penny Mclaughlin, Moore,
Grimes. Stewart, r. Smith and j. johnson.
Elkie, Freeman, Warwick, Hill, Jones, Sloan
and Fink.
Freeman will start a couple of dark
nags he has picked up this season some
where in the meeting.
Clint Riley, of Chicago, well-known
writer on turf topics, is in the city, and
will probably be one of the judges.
l.. P. Ezekiel, the omnipresent. is at
the track, and no better man could have
charge of the scales than he. Entries
close for tomorrow at 4 p. m. on the
track.
