DON ALONZO FOR THE DERBY
THE DISTANCE NOT TOO FAR FOR HIM.


HIS VICTORY OYER RAINBOW AT NORRIS PARK
THE DEFEAT OF DECLARE.
It is now settled that Michael F. Dryers colt Don
Alonzo will be sent to Chicago TO run for the American
Derby on June "a The racing men who the
Don defeat Rainbow at Norris Park yesterday, and
run mile and half in 49, under a pull, We're
inclined TO think that Mr.. Dwyer did not pay too
much for the colt when lie gave $4,000 fer him at
the EIiret sale last November Some people have
ALWAYS been eager depreciate this colt and to insist
,bo, he was essentially u Splinter and not a slayer
r,t lanes Rowe one OF the keenest judges Of horses
ever known In America has steadfastiy held the view
that Don Alonzo clearly the best two-year-od
In the country last year except Morello and he has
declared repeatedly that the Don would stay well
enough when in proper condition and properly ridden.
Mr. Rowe was right In this opinion, he generally
IS and II Don Alonzo Is as hit 10 American
Derby day he yesterday. and is ridden as he
was ridden against Rainbow, he Is likely TO lay hold
OF the $4,000 first money for Mr.. Dwyer.
It's now known that Don Alonzo not thoroughly
prepared for the Brooklyn Derby. in which Rainbow
defeated him, because he suffering from cracked
heels. There was no tagging or lettering with him
yesterday as there was at Gravesend He never
allowed Rainbow to get his head in front. Rainbow
ran by the Dons side for mile. but the Don was
running much easily than the son OF Longellow
and was, IN fact, under steadyins pull Then
Rainbow found the struggle too arduOus for him and
Don Aonzo left him behind The critics who had
been carrying at the winner OF the Junior Champion
Stakes last year silenced as the Don crossed
the line in a canter far In front of Rainbow.
Mr.. Dwyer had been intending to send Kingston and
Banquet to Chicago with Don Alonzo. but the
SCRATCHING" Of Tsmmany from the Suburban, which
has now been officially announced. may induce him
TO keep Banquet here. Mr.. Dwyer had shared the
general belief that Lampighter and Tammany would
decide the Suburban between them. Tammany's re-
tircment gives Banquet a fine prospect for second
money, which is $1,000, and 1t might be more
profitable to keep Banquet here than to send him
West. Mr.. Dwyer suggested TO the officers OF the
Washington Park Club that a special might be
arranged in which Kingston could start. Something
OF that sort may be DONE
