RACING WORLD STANDS STILL
Turf Fraternity Agog Over the
Press Club Handicap.

Through the apt and energetic hus
ting of Maj. Frank Luhrs, of the Jockey
club, and the good will of all horsemen
toward reporters. the mounts for the
Press Club handicap have been as
signed as follows:
The famous English Futurity runner.
U. bred by Z. Lorillard. will be rid
den bv DR.. j. E. Gemmel, of the Dis
patch; Dan Carregg's Crab Cider by
Harry w. Wack. of the GLOBE: H. w.
Weaver's Lou Douglas by DE Witt
Cochran, of The Pioneer Press; Twenty
One by j. l.. Stack; Swanena, George
Sherin, of the News: Red Fox.O. Remv.
OF the Times; Dyer, by K. +. Jones'
Minneapolis Tribune; and Swift by F.
SeiXas. COlorS will be assigned on the
day of the race by Will Doble. Fred Paul
whose kindly interest has been enlisted
by some of the leading horsemen at this
meeting. and his friend. Mr.. Graus, will
i'll all probability furnish the Jockey
suits. From the spirited manner in
which the subject is discussed it is evil
dent that the Press Club handicap will
more than equal any recent public
event. This animation is not confined
to the street, the clubs Or society gener-
ally, but the owners, the Jockeys. the
stable boys and the tippers who follow
stables from one end of the country TO
the other. all have seized the fever with
the comment of the wag or the censor.
The pointer went around yesterday that
Clerk-of-the-Scales l.. w. Ezekiel has
advertised for three assistants and a
stand of hay scales, while Presiding
Judge l.. p. Tarleton has sent out the
fiat that Judges Clint G. Ruby and Capt.
Williamson shall forthwith comniIe
set of new turf rules which will provide
for an emergency canter across the pad
dock or over the hill to HamlIne. The
court house clock may have been used
by the timers if Pat Egan AMI his gig
step were still in Office, but now that
the ineXpediency stares at the occasion.
Senator j. S. O'Brien, who is the Off
cial timekeeper, has called to his aid
such expert annihilators of-the common
enemy as Frank Ireland, Col. William
Letcher and Theo Winters. all of whom
have their own original ideas about
time-when to keep it and when to let
FER GO
The first trouble begins today, when
the Pioneer Press reporter will be taken
out to the track in the patrol wagon.
He is assigned to ride Lou Douglas. by
some other horse out of third, she by
plenty of others. A little dubious ped
igree until we can look it up; but now
that we have learned from the genial
Mr.. Weaver that Lou Douglas ran
yesterday with the cracks, and that
his breeding is Jim Douglas
out of Mary S. there is
reason to tremble for the future of both
horse and jockey. j y is none other
than Mr.. Lorillard's famous pet, by the
Duke of MAGENTA, out of imported
kaskiaska, the promising colt on which
the owner wagered $4,000 that he would
WIN the SO Futurity stakes. This horse
is now owned by James r. Hand, of this
city, and, lending j to the handicap
riders, Mr.. Hand is confident of the re-
suit. The GLOBE reporter will ride
Crab Cider, the shapely son of the re-
| nowned Hyder Ali, out of Addie War
rem. Being a hearty Democrat, Dan
Carregg will advance the cause of so
consistent Democrat as the GLOBE bv
mounting it on his fieetest charger. Crab
Cider should go we'll in a mile with
$50 up.
The GLOBE, Pioneer Press, Dispatch
and News have engaged stalls in the
Lakeland stable, where. beginning to-
night, they will sleep with their horses.
with which they may get as familiar AS
may be reasonable with so sudden and
important duty to perform as riding
for $1,000 stake-not beef stake.
Everything in the Twin Cities has it's
focus on the Press club handicap OH
Monday.
