CHICAGO, June 10.--At almost the
eleventh hour the aspect OF the Ameri-
can Derby field has been radically
changed. Matt Byrnse, the $4,000 son
Of Hampton, heavily backed by his
owner, Marcus DAILY, to win the Wash
ington Park classic, Ia reported to have
suddenly gone lame. The colt lie said
10 have stepped on pebble at jerome
Park and split his hoof. Men who know
the owner, Daily. and Trainer Barnes
are not slow to compute that
all other eligibles to the American
Derby had but little show with Matt
Byrnes and Senator Grady in the LIST
of starters. But today, when 1t was
announced that Senator Grady was on
his way to Chicago with his stable mate,
Matt Byrnes or even Daly'a other der
by venture. SAm Lucas, a new turn oil
possibilities was given to the wheel oil
chance. This excitement was intensi-
fed by the rumor that after all James
II. Keene would not send Domino, and
would probably depend on Hornpipe or
Ell Telegrapho. The lear of the great
colt Senator Grady, the prime favorite
for the derby. lie therefore much less
reduced. Without Midgley or Matt
Byrnes to help Senator Grady ont in q
possible contingency, Snapper Garrison
has the opportunity to ressert his re-
cord for generalship.
On the other hand, ]. w. Rodgers
Dorian is hourly becoming dangerous.
OF all the derby candidates the colt Ia
the only one that has had race oil
derby distance in public. and he easily
had Sir Walter and Sport sale in the ex.
ercise gallop that the race proved to be.
Both the animals last named are
years old and seasoned horses. Dorian
comes of staying lines, and should the
eastern division be further weakened by
the absence Of Domino, Grady and Dor
ian might make team race OF 1t.
A story comes from Hawthorne,
which, if true, may further alter the
complexion OF the race. CarmichaePe
bay colt, Cash Day, by StrAthmore-
Dawn OF Day, is in the hands of Pat
Dunno, and despite the fact that Dunno
and Corrigan are fast friends, the former
is said to be quietly working for Cash
Dav for coup in the American derby.
Corrigan has Despot In the race, and
Martin has avowed his attention OF Civ
ing Corrigan faithful ride on the geld
ing.
Marcus Daly's stable arrived at Wash
ington park this evening. Senator
Grady looks well, and when Trainer
Matt Byrne was questioned regarding
the truth of the tale that his nameHake
had broken down. he said:
THAT'S one of those newspaper sto-
ries. We left him behind for the simple
reason that We thought the Senator
good enough to win. We have gotten
him in good shape"
The scratching Of Matt Byrnes has
left Senator Grady the fsvorits among
western horsemen for the American
derby. His price in the pools is no lower
than that Of Domino, both selling at 3 to
! in local books, but more money is GO
ing on the Senator than on Domino at
these figures. There 10 growing aus
picion that McMichael's bay colt Cash
Day is better than generally supposed.
Cash Day mad0 his first start at Haw-
thorne today and fairly ran away from
the field. containing such medium per-
formers as Lucky Dog, Leudon, Entire,
etc. Those who saw his performance
were ready to admit that he has fight
ing chance for the race.
