Some horses resemble each other 80
much that even the best judges get
fooled at times. Simmons and Cox
swain in the Burridge Bros.' lot look
somewhat alike, and Dick Loud thought
the former was the latter. He said 30,
but Henry Harris disputed with him
and offered to bet O dollar that the
horse in question was Simmons. Dick
Jockey, seeing q chance to make sure
winning, offered to bet Dick another
dollar that Harris was right. With so
many clsmoring for dollar bet, Loud
began to think he WAS not quite right,
GO he refused the last bet and said he
would bet ell the change that he had

A correspondent writing about the lot
of horses owned by Jacob Rupert, the
New York brewer, Gays:
Ontario, full brother to Ambulance,
being by 0nondsga, dam Black Maria,
is marked like his famous sister, but is
chestnut instead of black. He is a
good-sized youngster, but is rather
lightly put together and inclined to run
too much 70 legs. Linwood, by Rayon
dor, dam Kinloch, is the best locker Of
the others, although the brown colt
Pottowatomie, by Powhatan, dam
Quickstep,, is not poor one by any
means.
A Nashville correspondent of the Turf,
Field and Farm has this to say about the
Tennessee Derby. There are 45 entries,
gnd at this writing it looks as If there
might, be eight or nine starters. The
more prominent candidates are as fol-
lows, not including G.. w. Johnson, who
is entered but will not be at Memphis: /:
Calhoun, Hugh Penny, Joe Murphy,
Afternoon, Lookout, Interior, Mirage
Coda. Calhoun and Lookout belong to
Gushing & Orth, ,and both may first
start IL the s..a Alliances Derby .Pg PgiYstf
are in CREST form. Lookout Is by Trou-
lbadour and the other lnY, Rnchanayn. and
| both are big, sshing fal lows with plen-
ty of speed. Last season Lookout won
nine times in 40 starts, e,esnd defeated
some good ones number of times. Cal
hGun started ;l6 times, with .sevenswins
TO his credit. He won his last four races,
defeating some Of the best ansaged ami
mails at Hawthorne,s They are trained
by Henry Mcdaniel, very. competent
young fellow.
Dick Loud was at Coney island last
week with the New York Spirits re-
porter, who describes the Dwyer horses
in his breezy way:
"Here comes some of Mike Dwyer's
horses" said Dick, as lot of horses
came sweeping by hard held by their
riders. Don Alonzo, in the front rank,
looks and moves we'll, but does not show
as much flesh as others in the same
string, and is as nearly all legs as ever.
The colt does not appear to have thick
ened out at all, and as ne wss always
big, large-framed colt, it is more no.
ticeable in MIN than it would be in
some others. Kingston, the great, was
in the middle OF the bunch. He looked
we'll bodily. bis coat shining like new
made dollar. Judging from his general
appearance there is still a lot of racing
left in the whirlwind. and it will take a
race horse to beat him at his distance
Stonenell, on the outside of the bunch,
was giving his rider sll he could do to
keep him from running away. All fire
and vim, the son OF Stonehenge pulled
and hauled on his bit in his efforts to
run. He was always good-sized horse.
Coupled with this he has thickened out
and let down great deal and is now a
fne-looking animal, Weight never
bothered him last year, and judging tF
his back, it will not this. Fast work,
however. later on, may tell different
story. Red Banner has notimproved as
much as expected and is of the light
order. Longstreet, one of the greatest
sons got by Longfellow, looks like
prize OK. He is very high in flesh and
is ssid to weigh close to 1900 pounds. 1t
seems scarcely possible with all this
flesh and such dicky legs that he will
ever train again, but the stable has
hopes, and while horse has leg there
is always chance.
